Yang Good Korean BBQ
Yang-good is a delicious and local Korean BBQ that provides fresh hala meat imported from Australia. They have a wide range of meats and the service and food left us fulfilled and satisfied . I definitely recommend this place if you are looking to have a fun day with your friends at a Korean barbeque .

Located in Hongdae - an urban and welcoming neighborhood filled with culture and entertainment . This barbeque was warm and filling and perfect for eating in a group or a treat to yourself. In addition they had wagyu beef which took to to a whole other level!

Halal Guys
Located in Seoul - this restaurant provides “halal American food” meant to imitate a blend of different cultures, mainly focusing on middle Easter flavors. This is an interesting aspect all packed into one halal dish produced and served in Korea. The food was appetizing and there was a wide range of things to order from the menu. Halal guys has branches all over the world.

Halal food in Myeong-Dong
Located in one of the most vibrant night markets in Korea. They have a wide variety of different food and they were all delicious and fun to try. Some stores will identify as halal but will not have evidence to show, so be wary of that.
LOCATION : South Korea, Seoul, Jung-gu, Chungmuro 2(i)-ga, 8-3-ga
Is it Really Halal?
Most of these restaurants get their Halal meat transported from Australia. Unfortunately, from experiences, I have found that many restaurants will claim to offer halal meat, As they want to attract foreign customers and their claims to be halal isn’t always true.
Due to this, I had to ask my Korean friends to confirm if these claims were honest. I ended up finding out many times they were false. I always recommend you to do further research to verify it for yourself. You can always check online or personally ask the available managers to show the certification.
