Sukdon Korean BBQ Ho Chi Minh Review 2026: Authentic…

While my Ho Chi Minh adventures often lead me to the bustling streets of District 1, this time, a friend led me to District 7, the city's vibrant Korean Town. And when you're in the heart of Ho Chi Minh's K-Town, there's only one thing to do: indulge in some fantastic Korean cuisine!

It was the tail end of my trip, and I hadn't been feeling my best, a bit run down from all the exploring. My friend, noticing my fatigue, suggested we power up with some delicious grilled meat. Who was I to argue with that?

As expected from a top Korean restaurant in Ho Chi Minh, the sign for Sukdon Charcoal Grill was proudly displayed in Korean. And when it comes to grilled meat, charcoal is always the way to go! My friend enthusiastically declared it a must-try spot in Phu My Hung.

I noticed a section marked 'WATER AGING,' where cuts of meat were visibly maturing in water. I'm no expert, but it certainly gave the place a professional, high-quality feel.

We arrived a bit early for dinner, which meant we had the place mostly to ourselves. It's funny how often travel throws off your meal schedule, isn't it?

It also made me realize that despite my frequent visits to local Ho Chi Minh eateries, I hadn't really explored the Korean restaurant scene much, probably because my previous trips were shorter.

The menu was extensive, featuring everything from classic pork belly (samgyeopsal) and marinated ribs (galbi) to various beef cuts, intestines (daechang), and a full selection of other Korean dishes. We kicked things off with juicy samgyeopsal and, despite the traditional wisdom of eating beef before pork, we ordered kkot-sal (beef flower meat) next, simply because we were craving it!

The banchan (side dishes) started arriving, and I thought that was it, but they kept coming! The tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) was a welcome sight, as expected at a Korean restaurant, but the kkomak (cockles) were a pleasant surprise. I'd have to taste the meat to truly judge if this was a top Ho Chi Minh restaurant, but the spread of sides was definitely promising.

First up was the samgyeopsal, and a staff member expertly grilled it for us. The thickness of the pork belly was just right. Sometimes when you order samgyeopsal overseas, it can be too thin, which really impacts the texture.

What I really appreciated was the meticulous grilling. The staff's attention to detail was impressive, ensuring every piece was perfectly cooked to a golden crisp, leaving no spot untouched.

As we chatted, the pork belly turned beautifully golden brown. More banchan arrived, and then our additional order of kkot-sal (beef flower meat) made its grand entrance.

Between bites of tteokbokki and kkomak, the staff had finished grilling the pork belly and moved it to a warming rack on the side. It was time for a full-on feast! You really have to keep up with the grilling pace, especially with the kkot-sal waiting to be cooked!

Honestly, when I've had Korean BBQ abroad before, I usually think, 'This is pretty good for being outside Korea.' But Sukdon was different. This wasn't just 'good for a Korean restaurant abroad'; this was genuinely fantastic Korean BBQ, easily on par with what you'd find in Korea itself.

I had a feeling it would be good, especially after tasting the delicious banchan. The tteokbokki is usually a safe bet, but the kkomak being so flavorful really set my expectations high!

The kkot-sal disappeared even faster than it was grilled! I only managed to snap a picture of the first two pieces before devouring the rest. My friend, seeing how much I enjoyed it, beamed, asking if it was indeed a District 7 gem. I told him it was so good, it could easily be considered one of the best Ho Chi Minh restaurants, not just in Phu My Hung!

They also offered refreshing finishing dishes like cold noodles (naengmyeon) and kimchi noodles, but we were absolutely stuffed and couldn't eat another bite. I also spotted cheese on the menu – that would have been amazing! I wish I'd looked at the menu more carefully.

We finished our meal with ice cream cones. Most Korean BBQ places just have vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry, but Sukdon offered five different flavors! I tried to get a bit of everything on one cone, which resulted in a delightfully mixed-up swirl. The cone itself felt a bit like a waffle cone, adding a touch of elegance.
