Side dishes and the self-serve bar at Cheongujeong Beef

Here are the basic side dishes! If you run out, you can grab as much as you want from the self-serve bar. I especially loved that they had tteok (rice cakes) and eomuk (fish cakes) at the bar 💗

LA galbi torch-seared at the table for smoky flavor

Ta-da~~~~~✨ Here come the gorgeous beef short ribs!!! Grilling the thick-cut short ribs myself, the most impressive part was definitely the torch-searing process for that smoky flavor!!!🔥

Thanks to the subtle smoky aroma that rises after searing the meat, the signature savory flavor of the short ribs really comes alive, making it even tastier!

Let's try the golden-brown grilled LA-style raw flower beef short ribs!! The juices were moist and it had a tender texture that got better with each bite, easy to eat without feeling heavy!

The first bite has to be just salt~ Well-grilled meat dipped lightly in salt tasted clean yet let the deep beefy flavor really shine through, and I loved enjoying it cleanly without any unnecessary seasoning

Cold buckwheat noodles and cheese kimchi fried rice to finish

It just wouldn't feel right to have beef short ribs without mul-naengmyeon (cold noodle soup),, the combo of cold noodles and meat is,,,💗 The refreshing broth and chewy noodles cut through the richness perfectly, pairing so well with the short ribs!

Eating a piece of meat together with the cold noodles made for a clean, refreshing bite 👏🏻

After the meat, I ordered cheese kimchi fried rice to finish things off! The spicy kimchi and savory cheese blended together, giving a nice palate-cleansing feel after all that beef!

Cheese and kimchi fried rice really is the classic way to end a meal haha

How much meat do you actually get on a 600g platter?

Oh wait,,, we ordered one plate and there was still meat left over..?!? How can there be this much...? This really is a great-value spot haha! One more round of torch-searing for that smoky flavor~

Enjoying every last bit to the end~!

A place where you can enjoy a generous 600g plate of LA-style raw flower beef short ribs, made extra special by torch-searing while you grill!
