Manager Jay Kwon said when local Korean barbecue enthusiasts craved sizzling meats grilled tableside, they often had to travel outside the community to find it.
In August 2025, Kwon said that ended with Gangnam BBQ & Sushi, an all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue eatery founded to fill the gap in Korean barbecue.

The aroma of marinated meats sizzling over tabletop grills and fresh sushi rolls arriving at the table fill the lively atmosphere. Unlike the typical Korean barbecue experience, Kwon said diners at Gangnam BBQ & Sushi can get both all-you-can-eat barbecue and sushi.
Using state-of-the-art table top grills changed with every use, Kwon said customers are able to cook their meats to perfection, resulting in tender, juicy meats.
