MOA Korean BBQ & Bar - Charlotte · Uptown
Tabletop barbecue at 128 S. Tryon St., where servers handle the brisket and pork belly on the grill in front of you so nobody at the table has to negotiate the tongs. The a la carte side of the menu runs to Korean tacos and kimchi bulgogi nachos. Axios Charlotte includes it in its guide to Korean restaurants in Charlotte.
Seoul Food Meat Company · South End
The Korean fusion barbecue room at 1400 S. Church St. that anchored the cluster of Korean cooking in South End, and it still draws the crowd it built. Come with a group, let the grill run, and order more than you think you need. Axios Charlotte lists it among the Korean restaurants in the city worth the trip.
Let's Meat Kbbq · South End
All you can eat barbecue next door to Seoul Food at 1400 S. Church St., with brisket, pork belly, and shrimp on a two hour clock and sides like a steamed egg souffle to keep the table busy between rounds. Axios Charlotte includes it in its Korean restaurant guide, and Charlotte Magazine carries it in its East and Southeast Asian survey.
