Korean barbecue is a popular dining style in South Korea where diners grill their own meat at the table. Typically, a variety of marinated and unseasoned meats, such as beef, pork, and chicken, are served alongside an array of side dishes known as banchan.
The grilling is often done on a built-in grill or a portable grill placed in the center of the table. Diners can enjoy the freshly cooked meat wrapped in lettuce leaves with ssamjang, a savory dipping sauce, along with other condiments. This interactive experience emphasizes communal dining and sharing.
