Ya:Jang — Authentic Korean Grilled Meat With Charming Services
The latest Korean barbecue spot to hit Hong Kong, Ya:Jang, has gone viral for its 120-hour grilled meat offerings.

The five-layer pork belly is a steal, plus this meal comes with soup, additional meat, vegetables and rice, so you’ll definitely leave stuffed.

Jeonpo Meat Shop — Your Next Favourite Korean Barbecue Restaurant Chain
This place is already packed by 6pm, and if you arrive later, be prepared to wait in line — proof that this is the go-to spot for Korean barbecue! Each table has staff to help with grilling, so there’s no worry about overcooking! Order the grilled beef set, which isn’t particularly cheap, but the quality of the meat is to die for — just by grilling it, you can already smell the rich aroma. Don’t forget to add the overflowing steamed eggs as a side dish! The only downside is that the seating is quite packed and the smell tends to linger quite a bit, so you might want to opt for a different first date spot.
