Tongue and Groove joint

Everyone is familiar with the famous Korean barbeque. TONGUE and GROOVE JOINT is an upscale version of the Korean BBQ so don’t expect just any old back street joint. TONGUE and GROOVE JOINT is a modern looking, casually cool place that doesn’t at all feel like a BBQ place but more like a fusion bar or trendy food café.

TONGUE and GROOVE JOINT specializes in lamb chops as tender a marshmallow on an open fire; 3 week aged quality Korean beef and also the best cut of beef ribeye south of the border. Not only is the food delicious but you don’t have to lift a finger to prepare the meat as the staff grill the meat for you at the table. All meat also comes with a side of house-made chili oil and cilantro pesto. TONGUE and GROOVE JOINT also has a good variety of lunch specials like the famous hot rock (dolsot) bibimbap.

To go with your food you can opt for the traditional Korean alcohol, soju, or you can wash it all down with a wide selection of craft beers. For those looking to celebrate, TONGUE and GROOVE JOINT also offers a good selection of sparkling wine. The restaurant has a lively vibe to it and service is warm and attentive, all staff ready to help patrons in English or Korean.

For a value restaurant TONGUE and GROOVE JOINT is one of the top recommendations for Seoul. Open every day from 11:30am until 11pm.
