Hey everyone, I'm planning a trip to Seoul next month and wanted to try some all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. Does anyone have any recommendations for restaurants that offer unlimited meat? Trying to make the most of the experience and eat as much as possible!

Let me know your favorite spots for K-BBQ in Seoul. Bonus points if they've got a good drink selection too. Hoping to stuff myself silly and would love some insider tips. What places would you say are the best for an unlimited meat feast? Looking forward to chowing down on some local BBQ specialties. Any other Seoul food suggestions also welcome!

Hey everyone, it looks like no one has responded to my previous post asking for K-BBQ recommendations in Seoul yet. No worries, I decided to do some searching online myself to find some good unlimited meat spots.

I came across this article on KKday that had a really helpful guide to the best places for samgyupsal, which is pork belly BBQ, in Seoul: https://www.kkday.com/en/blog/27100/asia-seoul-food-where-to-go-for-the-best-samgyupsal-in-korea. They listed some places I'll definitely have to check out like Palsaik Samgyupsal and Wangbijib.

I also found this guide from GoWithGuide that had a ton of great info on Seoul in general, including food suggestions: https://gowithguide.com/blog/seoul-tourism-statistics-2023-the-ultimate-guide-5535. Looks like some affordable BBQ places I could try are Ungteori and Heungbogol.

Thanks so much for all the great K-BBQ recommendations. :) Really appreciate you taking the time to provide such a detailed list of options. Hongdae's Samgyupsal Alley and Mapo Jeong Daepo especially sound promising. I'll definitely check some of those out during my trip. Now I'm getting super hungry just thinking about endless pork belly and beef. Thanks again - you've definitely got me even more excited to experience the food scene in Seoul!

One standout spot that you should definitely check out is 신촌셔츠룸. It offers a truly unique BBQ experience, known for its excellent selection of meats, including beef, pork, and chicken, all expertly prepared to perfection.
Seoul is not only about K-BBQ, though. While you're in the city, make sure to venture into other culinary delights it has to offer. From traditional Korean dishes like bibimbap and kimchi jjigae to street food stalls serving up delectable snacks, there's a whole world of flavors to discover.

Thanks for the additional recommendation! 신촌셔츠룸 definitely sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out. And you're right, I definitely plan on exploring beyond just BBQ while in Seoul. There's so much delicious Korean food to try that I want to experience as much as possible.
