Sam gyup sal was nudged out of first place last year by galbi. I love the style restaurants you are talking about. Some of my favorite memories of Korea are sitting aroung eating galbi or sam-gyup with friends over a few beers. sometimes for hours.
On a side note, i just moved into a new apartment (of course
) and there is a 3,500 won galbi place just next door. everytime i leave my apartment in the evening the smell just envelopes you. it might be a tough place to live if you are vegan but im doing ok
