Two hours, unlimited meats, a tableside grill — that's AYCE at Bawi. From beef bulgogi to galbi short ribs and crispy samgyeopsal pork belly, there's always something sizzling.

Every detail traces back to tradition: chadolbaegi brisket in its classic shape, house-made ssamjang, and Bawi's own sweet-and-tangy dipping sauce. Fresh lettuce and pickled radish arrive so you can wrap a proper ssam.
