Yakiniku Great 255 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong I thought I’ve had the best Yakiniku in places like Yakiniku Hiro in Kyoto, Totoraku in LA, and Tsuruhashi in Fountain Valley. Yakiniku Great takes the cake by leaps and bounds as the BEST DAMN Japanese BBQ in my experience. It’s a relatively new restaurant, that is…

Yung Kee
Yung Kee 32-40 Wellington Street Central Hong Kong Cantonese cuisine is well known for roasted meats. Picture that roasted duck or hunk of roasted pork hanging in your local Chinese BBQ shop. Now picture the same thing, but marked up by $$$$ and with attentive table service and polite waiters. Welcome to Yung Kee! Just…
Daedo
Daedo Google Maps Our final meal in Busan was at Daedo, a Korean BBQ restaurant specializing in non marinated meat. It was the most tourist and English friendly spot during our entire trip. It’s location at The Bay 101, a hip and trendy shopping/eating destination and yacht club, is more of a tourist hot spot than…
Offal BBQ
Area Codes mentioned going to an offal BBQ place a few times. To be polite, I would smile and give a half hearted “suuuure.” Secretly, I would hope he would pick up on my lack of enthusiasm or forget about the suggestion altogether. I’m pretty open to trying more foods than your average person. I’ll even…
Mapobonga
I do love Korean BBQ and I do love Korean cold noodles, or naengmyun. Mapobonga serves some of the best of this side by side. It’s a pretty unassuming joint with no frills and maybe no more than 10-15 tables. We sat on the ground yet again, which can be uncomfortable even for me after 15…
Wonjo Unyang Bulgogi
After a post breakfast stroll taking in the gray morning mist of Haeundae Beach… …we headed over to Gwangalli Beach where we were treated to a stunning view of the Gwangandaegyo Bridge or “Diamond Bridge.” The bridge may seem a little underwhelming here, but it is beautiful at nighttime.
Shigol Hanwoo
I haven’t been to many places which specialize in samgyeopsal, or pork belly. Beef always seems to reign supreme when it comes to Korean BBQ. The most recent samgyeopsal place I visited was Eight, which isn’t exactly traditional, but nonetheless very delicious. The offering at Shigol Hanwoo, is straight up pork belly without any bells…
Yakiniku Hiro BBQ
Yakiniku Hiro BBQ Multiple locations throughout Kyoto After plenty of sushi, noodles, and curry pans, I was looking forward to some grilled meats. There wasn’t any great consensus as to the best yakiniku in Tokyo or Kyoto for that matter, but I decided on Hiro. The place was pretty full for a weeknight, so maybe…
Eight Korean BBQ
Eight Korean BBQ 6681 Beach Blvd Buena Park, CA 90621 Yelp Who doesn’t love Korean BBQ? Obviously vegetarians are excluded from this rhetorical question. I can’t say most people would say they would love Korean BBQ if it’s pork at the center of it all. At least I can’t say I would be excited, until I…
Braddah Hutts BBQ
So if you’ve ever been to Maui, you’ve probably done the “Road to Hana” trip. It actually sounds much more glamorous than what it actually is, which is just a really long and windy drive around the north part of the island. You’re supposed to get off at various scenic points along the way to…
Franklin BBQ
Franklin BBQ 900 E 11th St Austin, TX 78702 franklinbbq.com Yelp A 5 hour wait to eat food deserves a long entry… Every single “Best of BBQ” TV show or list inevitably includes Franklin BBQ as one of America’s top BBQ joints. Enough cannot be said of its famed brisket, which is slowly smoked over…
Totoraku
Totoraku 10610 Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90064 Yelp I previously blogged about Totoraku, or what I referred to as the “secret beef restaurant.” Well if you look on Yelp, Totoraku isn’t much of a secret to the 209 Yelpers who posted the mostly 5 star reviews. But the policy still remains. You cannot eat…
