Gabose Korean BBQ

Gabose is a Korean barbecue spot in Lauderhill, and the best place in South Florida to do the cooking yourself on a little charcoal grill in the center of the table. That’s why there could be an hour-plus wait here on weekends (and they don’t take reservations). But it’s worth it to watch marinated short rib, thin-as-paper beef tongue, and spicy baby octopus turn into crispy deliciousness before your eyes. The marinades here are so tasty that even the nearly blackened pieces you forget about still taste good. The huge menu also has dishes the restaurant cooks, and there are non-grill tables—but hold out for one of those grills. You can always kill time at Gabose Pocha, their sister restaurant next door, which is less about the food and more about soju and karaoke.
