We visited Samgyeopjib and got in line around 4:45 pm. Even though we were fifth in line, we were not seated until about 5:40 pm. The wait was longer than expected, and I am assuming it may have been due to staffing. Just be prepared for a potential wait, especially during peak hours.
Parking can also be tough, so give yourself extra time.
Once seated, ordering was easy through the tablet. We then got our sides/banchan, then followed by the appetizer, which was good and a nice way to start the meal.
The pork belly arrived precooked, and we finished cooking it to our liking at the table. We mixed it with the minari, which added a fresh and flavorful touch. The banchan on the side complemented the meat well and completed the experience.
Overall, it was a good experience. The food was satisfying, and it is a spot we would consider coming back to when we are craving Korean BBQ. Just expect possible parking challenges and a longer wait time.
Enjoy kimchi rice after. read more
