Seoul Jung Korean BBQ Dublin, CA

Coming to this Korean BBQ place was a pleasant surprise. While waiting for my family to get their haircuts, I noticed it and thought the all-you-can-eat BBQ for $25 was worth a try. The summer BBQ season is almost over, and just the night before, my whole family had a BBQ in the backyard, which was quite chaotic (just preparing the squid took a lot of time), and after grilling, we were all covered in soot (almost burned ourselves). Although it was very delicious, it was exhausting, and there were leftovers. Now, I can simply pay to enjoy a self-service BBQ lunch.

There are plenty of classic Korean side dishes that you can refill after finishing. My favorites among the photos were: glass noodles, fish cake, spicy cucumber, and seasoned bean sprouts.

You can order five items at a time from the $25 menu, which is marked in black letters. For my first order, I chose: BBQ chicken, BBQ pork, spicy baby octopus, fried chicken (which you can eat right away), and squid (which of course I had to order).
(1) Fried chicken: The fried chicken was a bit overcooked, with too much batter, so I only ordered it once.
(2) Grilled meat and grilled squid: What I grilled myself tasted better, with the seasoning just right. Especially the squid, it was better than what we had grilled at home the night before. After grilling, we cut it with scissors to share, which was very convenient.
(3) Corn cheese: Heated at the stove. This dish can be ordered if there are children (3 to 7 years old, paying $12 for the all-you-can-eat BBQ).
(4) Steamed egg: It was quite large compared to Japanese chawanmushi, and it tasted great.
(5) Other grilled meats (like pork neck, brisket, etc.): Also very delicious.

My first experience with all-you-can-eat BBQ was very good. There were no leftovers. As long as you don’t order too much that you can’t finish, you won’t have to pay extra. I would definitely come here with my family again next time.
