Review for: Busan Local K-BBQ Food tour with a Food Buddy

Had such an amazing time last night at our K-BBQ! There was just one other person in our group besides our guide, and she was from Mexico. We ended up having the best time—eating, drinking, laughing, and sharing about our cultures. It was such a unique experience and we even made new friends along the way 🥰. We were having so much fun we didn’t get back until midnight!

Such a great experience! Going solo it's so hard to enjoy KBBQ but this allowed me to do so! The guide, Joe was amazing, made me feel so comfortable and welcome and was super respectful when passing on knowledge about manners and such. Great night!

Joe was such an amazing host and a great food buddy for the trip! He’s a born and raised native of Busan, so he knows the ins and outs of the city. Overall had a great time!

What a night! Food was excellent, Joe was great, and the stories never stopped. Joe taught us korean drinking rules which I only see in k-dramas and experiencing it first hand was hilarious!! Great way to not only enjoy great food but to also meet equally amazing human beings ❤️ Highly recommended

I had a really good time at the kbbq. For a solo traveller, this was really perfect to meet new people and also learn how to eat kbbq properly! Our guide Joe was funny and made our group feel very comfortable.

Review for: Busan Local K-BBQ Food tour with a Food Buddy

Joe is hands down one of the friendliest and most welcoming people I’ve met in Korea! From the moment our tour began, his enthusiasm and deep passion for Korean culture shone through in everything he did. He not only made the experience fun and engaging but also gave me insights I never would have discovered on my own. When I return to Korea, I will 100% book with him again — no question. If you’re looking for a truly authentic, memorable, and heartfelt experience, this is absolutely the tour for you!

We had Joe as our guide for the meal, a young and dynamic person who is passionate about his city and his profession, so don’t hesitate to take this tour. It was a real culinary discovery for us. A big thank you, Joe.

Had the best time enjoying authentic Korean bbq & drinking soju & beer with Joe. He taught me the traditional way to eat & the correct way to drink. It was a fun night of eating, drinking & laughing at Joe’s humour. Joe speaks very good English so he will explain everything very well with some jokes added in between. Thankyou Joe for a great night in Busan.
