Before this was a restaurant, it was Hana Oriental Market, the Korean grocery Mr. Kim and Mama Kim ran on N. Witchduck Rd for close to twenty years. Running the store rekindled an old dream of opening a place of their own, and 757 Korean BBQ is what came of it.
We think flavor starts at the source, so every cut is hand-butchered and marinated here with fresh ingredients, and every dish is made from scratch.
