I'm sure your experience was a bit different from mine but man was that good. Is there anything close to it in nc that you know?in the suburbs of Seoul and in small towns all over the country the Bulgogi joints are outdoors eating (with a roof) where you stand at a 55 gallon barrel with coals in it, a large wok type pan on top and a "stand" next to it where they put the marinated meat and banchan (sides),,, ya throw the meat in the pan and flip/stir as you want to doneness,,, then chow,,, throwing back shots of soju as you went,,,,
ahhh,,, the memories,,,
really, any authentic foreign food around nc..
so much of it is just fast food anymore.
