Korean BBQ is an easy choice when you’ve got a hungry crew and a hankering for grilled meats, cheesy corn, and soju. The only difficult part is deciding which combination dinner will feed your entire party and maybe also strategically configuring the side plates of banchan on your table like a giant game of Tetris. Perhaps you’re looking for bountiful buffets with rows and rows of meat, a more high-end take with dry-aged steak, or a classic, boisterous atmosphere where you can drink soju from a watermelon. Whatever your needs are, these are our favorite spots for Korean BBQ in Houston.
9889 Bellaire Blvd, Houston, TX 77036
Perfect For: Big Groups, Walk-Ins, Drinking Great Cocktails
Houston is no stranger to AYCE KBBQ buffets, but Hongdae 33 is a little bit different from the rest. Cheerful and full of neon signs, this Chinatown spot is where you can fill yourself with plates and plates of beef bulgogi, marinated miso steak, and as much banchan as you can handle for the price of $36. Every plate gets hand-delivered by servers who could double as champion speed walkers. At Hongdae 33, every minute counts, so hunker down in your booth, flip as fast as your hands allow, and make the 90-minute time limit one to remember.
