Funny how this thread got over a 1,000 views considering I wrote about this topic just for fun. Andrew C. e-mailed me and wrote that the English name for "gatnip" is perilla. Perilla leaves adds a unique taste when you form the "bite." Thank you Andrew.

There is no official samgyupsal parties going on in Korea FYI. But there are many dining restaurants in Los Angeles Koreatown that serves samgyupsal along with a variety of other mouth-watering meat. Nowadays, it is common to find restaurants that serves endless plates of meats! Prices range from $10.99 and all the way to $24.99 for the buffet and a child price should be a few dollars cheaper. In certain restaurants, customers have the option to choose single servings or the all you can eat meat servings.

As soon as you step into the restaurant, waiters and waitresses are all over the area with plates of meat on their right hand and bottles of soju (Korean distilled beverage 'spirit') with their left. It is not a friendly place for a die-hard vegan obviously. But for a protein-hungry customers, I highly recommend visiting these restaurants. You just can't miss it if you're in Koreatown.

The $10.99 basic buffet should include about four different meat groups: samgyupsal, cow tongue, beef brisket, and lamb. Expensive buffets include a wide variety of meat and banchans (Korean side dishes). A restaurant down in Cerritos serves meat, sushi, noodles, Chinese, kid's food, and more at a great price of $17.99 dinner.
