Uncover Cheongdam’s Hidden K-BBQ Gem Frequented by Korean Celebrities
Yeongdonggyojib is a beloved K-BBQ joint, even among Korean celebrities and K-pop idols. It’s cozy and tends to get crowded, so try to avoid peak hours like dinner time. The seating is standard for K-BBQ places, and there’s a nifty storage space under your seat for your coat.
Once you order, you’ll get a variety of side dishes like egg salad, kimchi, and more, along with four types of sauces for your BBQ. Grilling kimchi and veggies alongside the meat is a must-try. Both lettuce and perilla leaves work well for wraps, though perilla has a distinct taste that might not be for everyone.
Meanwhile, the four dipping sauces include ssamjang, gochujang, salt with sesame oil, and wasabi mayo.
