Gangnam
The best Korean BBQ around
Welcome to Gangnam Korean BBQ Restaurant and Bar, where the American dream meets the vibrant flavors of Korean cuisine. Our story is one of resilience, perseverance, and a deep love for both food and family. Our founders, Mr. and Mrs. Oh, embarked on a remarkable journey, leaving behind their homeland in search of new opportunities. They migrated to the United States with nothing but a few dollars and an unyielding determination to build a better future for themselves and their children. Arriving in a foreign land where English was not their first language, the Ohs faced numerous challenges. Language barriers and cultural differences posed obstacles, but their unwavering spirit pushed them to overcome each one. They worked tirelessly, starting from the ground up, taking on low-paying jobs that demanded long hours and offered little respite. Despite the hardships, the Ohs held onto their dreams of entrepreneurship. They saved every penny they could, often working multiple labor-intensive jobs simultaneously just to make ends meet. Their resilience fueled their ambition, and slowly but steadily, they managed to accumulate enough savings to invest in a small business. The road to success was not an easy one for the Ohs. They faced failures, setbacks, and moments of doubt along the way. However, through sheer determination and a strong belief in the authentic flavors of their homeland, they persevered. With their relentless passion for Korean cuisine, the Ohs decided to introduce Americans to the rich and diverse world of Korean BBQ. They opened their first location in SW Houston, aptly named Bon Korean BBQ, where they poured their hearts and souls into creating an unforgettable dining experience. Their commitment to authenticity paid off, as Bon Korean BBQ quickly gained popularity and a loyal following. Recognizing the growing demand for Korean cuisine, the Ohs set their sights on expanding their culinary empire to Austin, a city known for its vibrant food scene. And so, Gangnam Korean BBQ Restaurant and Bar was born. Inspired by the bustling energy of Seoul's Gangnam district, the restaurant captures the essence of Korean culture in every detail. From the warm and welcoming ambiance to the sizzling grills that bring flavors to life, Gangnam Korean BBQ invites guests to embark on a culinary adventure. The Ohs' incredible journey, marked by sacrifice and triumph, serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and the pursuit of one's dreams. They are proud to share the authentic tastes of Korea with Americans, ensuring that the vibrant flavors and communal spirit of Korean BBQ are experienced by all. So join us at Gangnam Korean BBQ Restaurant and Bar, where the road to success may have been challenging, but the rewards are mouthwateringly delicious. We invite you to savor the flavors, embrace the culture, and become a part of our family as we continue to share the wonders of Korean cuisine with the world.
