1 Best Restaurant in Seoul, South Korea

While an Alabama-style barbecue restaurant may seem out of place in the middle of Seoul, the offers at Linus are so good that many believe it’s a step above, even by American standards. Opened by Linus Kim in 2014, the restaurant has essentials like pulled pork, brisket, and spare ribs as well as Southern comforts like deep-fried okra and macaroni and cheese. Many American-style barbecue restaurants have opened in Korea in the past few years, thanks to Linus setting the bar, but the tangy, barbecue sauces set this Itaewon location apart from the rest.
