How does a sizzling hot plate of melted cheese, creamy egg, corn, and your choice of perfectly marinated chicken, beef, or pork sound? If you’re drooling already, this is the place to go. While the hot plate is a definite favourite, they also serve an array of comfort Korean dishes like seafood pancake (pajeon) and bibimbap.

This is another Korean BBQ joint on the list but Seok Gi Si Dae offers a more authentic dining experience than the ones mentioned previously. The grills are situated on lower tables and diners sit on traditional tatami mats as they would in certain parts of Korea. Be sure to get an order of their extremely popular pork belly (samgyeopsal) here.
