Gangnam Korean BBQ Restaurant · Metairie
An all-you-can-eat tabletop Korean barbecue in Metairie where diners grill their own beef, pork, and chicken over the built-in burners. Beyond the grill, the kitchen turns out house specialties like spicy pork steak and japchae, the sweet-savory glass noodles stir-fried with vegetables. The space previously ran as Gin Korean BBQ before its rebrand at the same address.
NolaKorea Korean Restaurant · Metairie
A Metairie Korean kitchen that draws regulars for its japchae, sweet-potato glass noodles sauteed with julienned vegetables in a savory soy-sesame sauce. The menu runs through the comforts of a neighborhood Korean spot, from stews and rice bowls to marinated grilled meats, in a low-key strip-mall setting away from the tourist crowds.
COCO KOREA BBQ · Lower Garden District
Korean barbecue on Magazine Street where the tabletop grills handle marinated short ribs and thin-sliced pork alongside a slow-cooked oxtail stew. The Lower Garden District room, formerly Little Korea BBQ at the same address, keeps the interactive grilling format going with a full run of banchan and stews. Diners cook their own cuts to order.
