Seoul BBQ is a bit of Korea in the city

By CIARA HOOKS@HOOKS_CIARA

Seoul BBQ & Sushi has been serving the city for the past eight years, offering authentic Korean barbeque.

Located at 593 Hartford Road, Seoul BBQ & Sushi offers Korean BBQ cooked on table grills, Japa-nese dishes, sushi and sake.

“It’s a great place for gather-ings; we give lots of food. I think it’s reasonably priced in terms of what’s been happening with the cost of everything across the board and we have a very unique product that’s very good,” said owner Mark Moon.

Even though the restaurant is not currently carrying sushi until further notice they still have an extensive menu to choose from. The appetizers include Gun Mandu and pork dumplings, Korean fried chicken wings and edamame. The Bibimbaps por-tion of the menu includes Dolpan Bibimbap and Dolsot Bibimbap. The Seoul BBQ includes mari-nated and non-marinated options like Galbi and Saeng Deungsim. The specials include Jap-Chae Wok-fried glass noodles with beef and veggies and Tofu Kimchi Jaeyuk stir fried pork, kimchi and homemade tofu.

“We use only the highest quali-ty ingredients and freshest meats around, that’s why our food is so

savory, fresh and one-of-a-kind,” Moon said.

They are staffed with three main cooks that cook throughout the week and two additional people that help them prep.

Seoul BBQ & Sushi, founded by Chong Pal Moon and Kyu Young Moon, has been rooted in the community since 2013.

“My parent moved out here in 1998. They were doing clothing stores, they used to own Pretty Woman and My Lady,” Moon said. “My dad said, let’s stop doing what we’ve been doing for 20 years and do something we have no idea about. One of his business partners had Seoul BBQ locations in Colorado and basi-cally gave us his blueprint.”

Many of the pieces incorpo-rated in the interior design of the restaurant are from Korea.

“My father tried to build a Kore-an restaurant (that you would find in Korea) in New Britain,” Moon said.

Seoul BBQ & Sushi continues to be a family-owned and oper-ated business with Mark Moon taking over in April of 2019.

Seoul BBQ & Sushi makes sure to keep its employees up to speed with the industry and covid guidelines.

“In the kitchen I like creating all types of things, mixing things, things that have been done, things that haven’t been done,” Moon said. “For now, I’m going to

try and add some menu items, different kind of things to bar-beque like vegetables, seafood, maybe duck. The barbeque grills will be baseless by July, if we’re lucky by June, and all my tables will be outfitted with new grills so that’s kind of exciting.”

The restaurant has also extend-ed their model post-pandemic to include dine-in services, curbside pickup and delivery.

“Last year this time we were closed. I closed for six weeks and then when I came back, I was like ‘what do we have to do?’” Moon said. “This isn’t the best food to take to go some of it, but obviously with the pandemic it had to change a little bit.”

As restrictions are being lifted in May, Moon plans to do even more with the restaurant.

“In a lot of ways, we’re blessed to be here in the position that we’re in and I think it’s a testa-ment to the work and hours that everybody that works here put in. This could have easily all gone away but thankfully the PPP’s, some help from the government and just the loyalty of some of our best customers continued to show,” Moon said.

Seoul BBQ & Sushi’s hours are Monday–Friday 11 a.m.-3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-10 p.m. They can be reached at 860-233-9114 or at their website at seoulbbqsushi.com.
