Mapojeong

Mapojeong in the Heights serves as a KBBQ catch-all. Equal parts minimalist industrial dreamscape and warm, family-run business, Mapojeong is a more modern and fun KBBQ spot. The crowd ranges from blushing first dates to cheerful, animated birthday groups. The grills at Mapojeong are always packed with some serious slabs of meat. Alongside it, egg souffle cooks on the grill’s side panels, patiently waiting to be scooped up and added to the party. And while you can captain the grilling yourself, the staff has no problem flipping every single piece of meat for you (and if you’re lucky, one of the owners will come to assist on the grill and treat you like an honorary family member). So if you find yourself in The Heights and craving a casual but exciting KBBQ dinner, Mapojeong is the best bet.
