Popular Galbi(갈비) Map of Seoul

If Seoul had a rib siren, this would be it: thick-cut LA galbi lacquered in soy, pear, and garlic, seared over steady heat until the sugars glass and the bone-side sings. The aroma is deep and toasty; the meat pulls cleanly, with that buttery chew only proper marination gives. Office lunches spill into early dinners here, and for good reason.
