Soowon Galbi is built around the grill. People show up with a plan, valet the car, and settle in for rounds of marinated short ribs that come out fast and steady. The combos do the work for you, mixing bone-in and boneless cuts without overthinking it. Toward the end, the spicy cold noodles are the reset most tables wish they’d ordered sooner.
