Linus' BBQ

Top choice in Itaewon & Yongsan-gu


The portions are more modest than your typical Southern smokehouse, but the pulled pork and beef-brisket rolls with 'skinny ass' fries are some of the tastiest (and prettiest) plates of western food in Seoul. Count on a friendly, laid-back vibe in the industrial-styled dining space, with a good choice of craft beers and cocktails.
