Korean Barbecue
Feel the Flavor of Bubbling Meats
More than any other type of Korean food, Korean barbecue is enjoyed by many. It can be done using gas or charcoal and is on your table.

Just plan on coming home smelling like you've come right off the barbeque pit, literally.
Bibimbap
A Bowl with the Optimal Balance of Flavors and Consistencies
Popular in Korea, Bibimbap is a hot bowl of rice garnished with several colorful vegetables and sometimes meat or scrambled egg on top. Key ingredients are gochujang {fermented chili paste}, mushrooms, sprouts, carrots, and spinach with juicy beef like bulgogi beef. Combined it with sesame oil and soy sauce to create a good chaos of taste sensation in every bite that you take. Bibimbap sizzles in the eponymous super-hot stone bowl, creating a crispy rice layer at the base you'd want to scrape up and eat once everything else is done.
Korean Fried Chicken
Crispy and sticky skin is so addictive.
The fried chicken was invented elsewhere, but it is beloved in Korea; the invention of various glazes and a twice-frying technique that yields a delicate, crunchy crust over tender meat within is attributed to Koreans. Whether it is soaked in soy garlic, spicy, or covered with a sweet and savory sauce, Korean fried chicken seen in such Toronto. Seoulicious offers some incredibly delicious and, yes, enthralling poultry prepared the Korean way.
Bulgogi
Delicate and caramelized beef full of taste

The meat on the griddle browns and absorbs tons of flavors which will have patrons gobbling it up with some ssam (wraps of lettuce). Seoulicious has excellent normal bulgogi beef. The very opaque bulgogi is featured with many Korean stops, featuring the dish in stews, rice bowls, and more.

Spicy, Hearty Korean Stew
Tue yourself with sundubu jjigae, a stew made from ultra tender uncurdled tofu (sundubu) in spicy red pepper broth full of vegetables, seafood and, sometimes, other meat. Sundubu jjigae is again thick and tangy, based on the layers of gochugaru (red chili powder), gochujang, garlic and more, it is by no means weak, but well balanced with the tofu's creaminess.
