Authentic K-BBQ experience with locals in Busan!
Eating KBBQ alone in Korea can be tricky — that’s where I come in as your food buddy!
Born and raised in Korea, my local friends and I will take you to a different hand-picked BBQ spot in Busan every month. These are real local favorites, not tourist traps. You’ll try various pork cuts like belly, jowl, neck, and more.
If it's a night session, we can enjoy Korean alcohol and have a fun time together (Alcohol not included)
Note: This experience is focused on eating together, not a deep dive into food history. But I’ll gladly show you how I enjoy KBBQ!
After booking, we’ll send nearby recommendations. DM us for any time changes!

Even better than expected

5.00With Joe as my food buddy, I was able to experience authentic Korean BBQ even as a solo traveler, and I loved it. Joe was born and raised in Busan and knows the city and the best BBQ restaurants like the back of his hand. He speaks excellent English, is delighted by any interest in Busan and South Korea, and is happy to answer any questions. Since Joe is also a stand-up comedian, he always keeps everyone laughing with his wit. The K-BBQ evening with Joe wasn’t just delicious, but also informative, educational, and simply very enjoyable. That’s because Joe didn’t just take care of the food. He also managed, in a very subtle and attentive way, to guide the group so that everyone felt comfortable, making it an entertaining and wonderful evening. It was even more than I had expected, and I really appreciated it. The Korean BBQ with Joe is an experience I can highly recommend.

5.00We had an amazing night eating Korean BBQ with Joe and Andrew. This was the perfect opportunity for us to meet new people and hang out. I wish we were in Busan longer. I would have loved to do this again before we left. The food was hands down some of the best we've had out of our whole trip.
An absolute feast of an evening!

5.00We had such a great night at the Korean BBQ with Joe we joined him again the next night! The meat was expertly grilled by the restaurant staff and everything was absolutely delicious, but the best thing is learning all about Korean culture and how central food and eating together is to that. We loved trying (and failing) at the drinking games and learning how to make ssam, and getting to know Joe and the others in the group over a feast. It’s a brilliant, fun night - I highly recommend it to anyone.
My love of Busan is still to be com tinued

5.00This is the second senior solo trip. I heard that there were deep yakiniku restaurants in the back alleys of Jagalchi in Busan… I had always been curious about this tour and applied immediately. Thanks to the jolly conductor's attention, it was so much fun that I was able to open up to the girls from Australia and Italy and join them for the after party. I even hugged him when we parted ways at the subway station. It really was what I expected, no, it exceeded my expectations. I want to participate again. This time, the 회식 tour of Korea is nice. Since then, I've had beer mixed with shochu 🤭
Would recommend it to everyone

5.00People should really include this tour in their itinerary. My cousin who went to busan recommended me this tour. At first, I had doubts. But I bit the bullet. It was a full day of activities till I went for this tour. My tour guide - Joe asked if I want to try something new. I said yes without hesitation. I got an authentic Korean Barbecue experience - Gopchang served in three different ways 🥳🥳🥳 conversing while having a great food and company makes this experience worth while 😌 hope to do it again when I visit Busan!
Awesome food and awesome company!

5.00This was perfect for me as a solo traveller: to meet people, both locals and fellow travellers, while having great food. Joe was a superb host and took us to a place which served delicious Korean BBQ. Can definitely recommend this one!
