Answer 3

Like the second to last fellow said it is a variety of meats, offal and seafood, you can cook for yourself over a charcoal or gas BBQ in the table in front of you.

And like Dexter, I to live in Toronto Canada and go to several the one he mentioned one on Queen St near John acrossed from the City-TV station and a nice on on Bloor near Christie, I like all the meats bul-go-ghi is nice, but I like the pork, liver, ox tongue and shrimps I get a combo order with a bit of everything, you can eat it with rice or rolled in lettuce leaves for the bul-go-ghi with the spicy gomijahn sauce, washed down with tea or Korean beer even the fiery Soju, a korean version of Japanese sake, but much more flavourful and potent.

Answer 4

Answer 5

It is grilled meat (generally beef) with light Korean spices. The meat is grilled over an open flame so it has a nice smokey flavor to it.  It is delicious.  It is served with pickled cabbage and rice.

Answer 6

That's a good question.  Most people don't know what Korean BBQ is -- even people who have had it and even Koreans themselves!

The phrase "Korean BBQ" was made up by Koreans who live here in the States.  It was a way for Korean restaurant owners to advertise what they were selling.  Americans are less likely to understand what "bulgogi" or "bulgalbi" is.  Not only is it hard to pronounce, it doesn't even sound good to eat.  The phrase "Korean BBQ" fixed all that.  People understood what is was, albeit wrongly, and it sounded pretty good too.

Currently, what most Korean restaurants mean by "Korean BBQ" is any meat -- beef, pork, chicken, or seafood (squid & shrimp) -- that is marianated in a Korean sauce and cooked over an open fire, usually a small grill at your table. Some restaurants even include vegetables under Korean BBQ.   Sometimes when restaurants bring the food out from the kitchen already cooked, they just cook it on a pan.  It's still pretty good but not as good as cooking over an open flame.  Those tables with the built-in grills are expensive, and many smaller restaurants can't afford to buy them.

Different dishes are suppose to have different marinades, and there are many examples of these marinades online.  In larger cities, there are Korean buffets that have many different Korean BBQs on their buffet menu.  Try one of those places to get an idea of what each item is suppose to taste like, and then try an online recipe of your favorites.  Korean BBQ is really cheap to make at home.

Good luck!
