| - The meal was enjoyable and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I did not find anything we had for dinner exceptional.
I am a big fan of BBQ and Korean food. So, naturally, I thought I was going to absolutely love Seoul Food Meat Company, but I felt like I was missing my favorite parts of both cuisines. I went with my cousin and we had a beef rib, pork belly, a half-and-half order of wings, the spiral cut potato, and some kimchi slaw.
The beef rib was ok. It was a large short rib marinated like kalbi and supposedly smoked. There wasn't much smoke flavor, but that could be due to the fact that it was cooked medium. It took some effort to get the meat off the bone. Generally with smoked BBQ, it should only require a gentle tug to pull the meat off the bone (it should not be falling off).
The fried pork belly was delicious. I have never seen pork belly like that in Korean or BBQ restaurants - but it is common in Filipino cuisine as lechon kawali or in Chinese cuisine as siu yuk.
The Korean fried chicken wings were decent. Not the best I've ever had. The SoGa (soy garlic) was pretty tasty, but the hot flavor just tasted like kochujang.
Honestly, the sides were ok, but I wish they also had straight up kimchi.
