Yoon Haeundae Galbi

Weekend Finds: The Korean BBQ, Icelandic Boutique, and Dalí Exhibit We Loved

"I'd been hearing the buzz on Yoon Haeundae Galbi, a Korean BBQ joint, for a while—regular dispatches in my social media feeds had me salivating—but experiencing it in person brought a whole new level of appreciation to the table. Owner Bobby Yoon is carrying on his grandfather's legacy straight from Busan's Haeundae district, where two generations of his family have operated their restaurant Haeundae Sommunan Amso Galbijip (해운대암소갈비집) since 1964. At Yoon Haeundae Galbi, don't miss the short rib, cooked tableside and served with generous banchan—along with a family recipe for yukgaejang (육개장), a spicy beef stew. There are also cocktails like the signature highball, made with Damsol soju, elderflower liqueur, cucumber, and perilla leaf. It's easy to over-order, but everything's shareable, so don't skip the spicy fried chicken or the stir-fried seafood rice cakes (tteokbokki). The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining, as well as delivery, takeout, and special meal kits."
