Their quality meats and magnificent marinades have steaked their claim in K-town, and this year they catch the critical eye of Michelin. One star for the P1, IMHO, even though Michelin didn't agree. Order that Taste of Parks BBQ to sample all the meats that matter.
Plenty of Banchan to play with, little plate of pickled delights. Even the salad looks like a work of art.
Started off with a small side of Dumplings. Savory pockets of juicy pork, tasty, but not truly necessary.
They'll grill the meat for you if you're helpless, so sit back and relax because they'll never let it burn. Service is swift and attentive, without being overbearing.
Paper-thin slices of Brisket come off the grill as fast as they go on. The pieces are tender, but you do have to chew.
Side-by-side sits a Short Rib, a beautiful cut with marbled veins. This meat is not even solid - it turns to liquid in saliva.
Ggot Sal, too, melts in your mouth the moment it hits your tongue. Juicy, beefy bliss.
Galbi is scored for tenderness with a sweet marinade to maximize the savor. Bulgogi is thin and dripping with sweet soy, no less delicate, no less delicious.
Break it up with cold bites of Naengmyeon, it spaces out the mouthfuls of meat. The sweet chili broth is refreshing, and the noodle texture is on point.
I've had good Korean BBQ and I've had great Korean BBQ, but nothing comes close to Park's. I don't have the words to fully capture the magic of their meat - you have to eat it to believe it.
