Jongro BBQ (INJU BBQ)

Jongro BBQ is a popular Korean barbecue restaurant chain known for its authentic, traditional approach to Korean grilling. The restaurant often features a retro, rustic decor reminiscent of old Seoul, complete with vintage Korean posters and wooden furnishings, creating a nostalgic atmosphere.

At Jongro BBQ, the focus is on high-quality meats, which are usually grilled right at the table by the diners themselves or with the assistance of the staff. The menu typically includes a variety of cuts, such as beef brisket, pork belly, and marinated short ribs (galbi), among others. The meat is usually accompanied by an assortment of banchan (Korean side dishes), such as kimchi, pickled vegetables, and dipping sauces.

The experience is highly interactive, with diners grilling their own meats and enjoying them fresh off the grill, often wrapped in lettuce leaves with rice, garlic, and ssamjang (a Korean dipping sauce). Jongro BBQ is popular for its lively, communal dining experience, making it a great spot for group gatherings.
