Open 24/7, DaRaeJung’s menu is a celebration of Korean and other East Asian specialties, grilled meats, and many more. Although the restaurant offers something for everyone, there are certain signatures that simply cannot be missed. Among its must-try signatures include pajeon (traditional savory pancakes), jjampong (spicy seafood noodles), wagyu salchisal (chuck flap tail), hotpot, and sashimi.
Pair these with their alcoholic beverages that perfectly complement the grilled meats. Sip on some sweet and fruity Bokbunja (black raspberry wine) or try Bekseju (traditional herbal rice wine), known for its smooth flavor and subtle ginseng notes that enhance the savory bbq experience. Of course, no Korean feast is complete without the classic soju – its clean, crisp taste pairs wonderfully with the rich and smoky flavors of the grilled meats!
