10 Butchers Korean Bbq Complete Menu Guide: Must-Order Dishes, Combos, and Tips
Beef commands the headlines, but pork belly samgyeopsal deserves space on your table. Sliced thick, the heritage pork features alternating strips of meat and clean white fat. The staff grills the pork on a dedicated iron plate, angling the fat run-off to cook whole garlic cloves and kimchi alongside it. The exterior crisps like crackling, providing an earthy, pork-forward contrast to the rich Wagyu beef.
The banchan side dishes arrive immediately after seating. Unlike spots that serve tired, refrigerated cabbage, 10 Butchers maintains a rotating set of house-fermented sides:
- Fresh Napa cabbage kimchi with sharp funk and acidity.
- Sweet soy-marinated perilla leaves and quick-pickled radish wraps.
- Scallion salad dressed with toasted sesame oil and gochugaru.
- Creamy potato salad and braised fish cakes.
Halfway through the meal, rich fat inevitably catches up to your palate. That is when the kimchi jjigae stew proves its worth. Simmered with pork scraps, old funky kimchi, and soft tofu, the bubbling broth cuts through the beef fat with pure, sharp acidity.
