We can’t really imagine ever turning down an invitation to sit around a fire and grill meats, especially if several hours of drinking beer and soju is involved. Which is why it will never be a hard sell to get a group to go to Hae Woon Dae. They use actual charcoal in their barbecue tables, making the restaurant a little smokier than most other spots that have electric instead, but their beef short ribs and pork belly taste all the better for it. They’ll also make you wear a festive hat while singing “Happy Birthday,” which you’ll pretend is embarrassing, right up until you try and get them to do an encore where you rope in all the tables around you.
