"Over the past few decades, Korean barbecue has become a global hit. And it's easy to see why: The food is delicious, the variety of meats seems endless, and the interactive dining experience is fun. But, while solo dining has become one of the coolest dining trends in recent years, this is one meal you still may want to round up your family and friends for."
"Practicality aside, Korean barbecue is also an inherently social endeavor. "Korean barbecue is one meal that will bring everyone together," Nguyen shares. "You can sit around for hours, talk, eat, drink, and just hang out." The dining experience is designed to be savored with people you know and love and that community is a big part of what brings diners back."
Korean barbecue has become a global phenomenon because of its flavorful meats, wide variety of options, and interactive tabletop grilling. The meal emphasizes shared plates and communal eating, with multiple cuts of meat, diverse banchan, and shared starters creating a layered tasting experience. Grilled kimchi is recommended as a welcoming banchan for beginners. The format encourages lingering conversation, drinking, and socializing, making it well suited to groups. Solo dining is possible and guests are welcome, but the quantity and variety typical of a classic Korean barbecue often make group dining more practical and satisfying.
