Craving Southern BBQ in Seoul that’s actually legit? Just a few minutes from Hanyang University and Wangsimni Station, Sunday Best is serving up real American BBQ in Seoul—think smoky ribs, loaded mac & cheese, pulled pork sandwiches, and house-made pies that taste like home (if home had a smoker running all day).

The spot is run by two American chefs who missed proper BBQ and decided to build it themselves. The result is one of the most satisfying BBQ rib joints in Seoul—a cozy third-floor restaurant in Seongdong-gu that’s quickly become a go-to for locals, expats, and anyone who knows their way around brisket.
