Where Locals Eat: Korean BBQ of the Month

was fun, though because it is cold, others didn’t join so it was just me and the host, but he was nice and explained the traditional way to eat KBBQ well. would recommend if you’re solo traveling, since you cannot eat at those places alone. the place we went to was in the old central of Seoul, close by to the building in the second photo and the river in the third.

We loved this tour! Our host was Alex. There was our group of 5, and one other. Communication was great, we knew where to meet. Alex was a wonderful guide letting us know about the area as we walked to the restaurant. At the restaurant Alex helped us share the best ways to enjoy our KBBQ, my favourite was the pickled radish, sauce, garlic, chive kimchi, delicious! I would really recommend this tour to give you that friendly local food experience where it feels like you are eating with friends.

Jin was a great guide to KBBQ. Took the time to explain side dishes and how to "normally" eat the food like Koreans. He also explained much about the culture behind the food and why Koreans love it so much. He was also quite helpful in getting my grandmother's phone back when she forgot it at the restaurant 😂

this was definitely a must try in seoul! our tour guide jay was very friendly and was able to provide the best experience ever!

For a solo traveler this was the perfect opportunity to not miss out on a quintessential Korean dining experience so grateful to Thomas for hosting us and really enjoyed the company of a lovely small group of people from all over the world. It was the first time trying something like this and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Strongly recommended experience, additionally the group of international people who joins the event makes it even more entertaining and not only food experience, tips and good vibes of Alex are really making it worth every penny paid for this tour!

This experience was good and I do love a Korean BBQ. it was a small group lunch. The other participants were friendly so it way nice to chat and find out where they were from and what they had done/were planning to do in South Korea. The guide was friendly but maybe not that enthusiastic about it all that day. Overall a good experience and the food was great.

Alex was a great guide, and we had a wonderful time eating Korean BBQ and talking about all sorts of topics. The experience was very enjoyable, and we went to a super local, non-touristy spot near Lotte Tower. I highly recommend this experience to learn how to eat and combine the side dishes with the meat, as well as about drinks. Alex was very kind and attentive to the entire group.

We had a great time - it was a venue we might not otherwise have gone into, and it was fun sharing the experience with other people. Our host left us to our own devices a bit (the restaurant staff kindly intervened!), but that may have been down to the size of our group. Tasty food and great value for money.

He took me to a local restaurant that tourists don't usually go to. It was a Korean BBQ restaurant that I wouldn't have gone into alone, and I ate delicious pork with fresh vegetables. Korean food comes with a lot of side dishes, so I often don't know how to eat them or what they are, but my guide, Alex, explained everything carefully. Most importantly, the food is delicious! Alex's recommendations on how to eat were very tasty. He also told me about Korean culture and customs. He speaks a little Japanese. I recommend him!
