Hongdae 33 Korean BBQ

The new kid on the block at Dun Huang Plaza is buzzy and the wait is long, but Duck ’N Bao owners Grace and Leo Xia have understood the assignment with their new all-you-can-eat restaurant. Here, premium cuts of meat like Wagyu belly and Black Angus brisket take center stage with Cajun jumbo shrimp and garlic butter chicken, with excellent, moreish banchan to pair. The cocktails are a step above what you’d expect at a Korean barbecue place; we love the K-Shawty with soju, Yakult, Milkis soda, strawberry, and lemon. —EB
