Jang Won BBQ

What this place is

The first Korean restaurant in Korean Town, about 30 years old: beef tongue, marbled beef, samgyeopsal, unlimited banchan, staff grilling. Popular with Korean expats.

Its price level is $$$ compared with the other venues in the same building, and it is open daily 09:00–23:30.

A Korean BBQ room: you order cuts by the plate and grill them at the table, with free refills of banchan (side dishes). The usual orders are samgyeopsal (pork belly), galbi (marinated ribs) and moksal (pork collar). BBQ suits a group better than a solo visit.

Good to know before you go

• Mostly Korean regulars — The regulars are mostly Korean, which is a good sign for authenticity, though the English menu may be limited.
• Good for groups — Tables fit larger groups; 4–8 people is comfortable. Call ahead on Friday and Saturday nights.

Getting there

The venue sits inside Sukhumvit Plaza at the mouth of Sukhumvit Soi 12, Khlong Toei. The easiest route is BTS Asok, Exit 2, then a 300 m walk toward Nana (3–5 minutes). From MRT Sukhumvit take the link to BTS Asok and follow the same walk. From BTS Nana it is about 5 minutes back toward Asok.
