Question. Have you had Korean BBQ elsewhere before? The point here is this. The locally available places are perfectly fine. But if you’ve had Korean bbq in Los Angeles for example? Yeah it’s not even remotely comparable.

So if you have a baselines of really top end k-bbq prepare to be disappointed. Sura is the one I’ve gone to a few times and I think it’s perfectly respectable locally.

You’d be better off heading up to Boston tbh.

Sura is very pojangmacha-y, so if that’s the vibe you want then yeah, that’s the place you wanna go. No frills, kind of a hole in the wall, lotsa soju available etc etc

Kbbq here is meh at best. Lot more unique places in NYC/DC for east coast. Hyun in NYC is great if you're on a wagyu kick, not exactly kbbq but it's AYCE wagyu and other meats cooked in from of you. Pricey but depends on how much wagyu you can stomach..the experience is top notch though

Fine. But no one is going to travel 3.5 hours to NYC or further just for kbbq. Boston has some better spots than RI and it’s easy enough to get there. Not really hard to understand there.
