Gogi gui, also known as Korean barbecue, is becoming increasingly popular with diners in the United States. The standard fare includes marinated and non-marinated cuts of beef, chicken, and pork served family style along with sticky rice and small side dishes called banchan. Customers traditionally cook their own meals tableside on a gas grill. Portions are typically large, so the experience is best enjoyed with a group. Several of South Florida's Korean barbecue restaurants can be bound in the greater Fort Lauderdale area.
Da Mee Rak Korean Cuisine & BBQ
Da Mee Rak's extensive menus (note the plural) exemplify the restaurant's split personality. In addition to serving up heaping plates of galbi (short ribs) and a variety of Korean stews, Da Mee Rak also offers a full Japanese menu. Diners hungry for barbecue should specifically request the Korean menu and a grill table.
