Champs Korean BBQ

Roomy, spotless AYCE KBBQ in Convoy Center that cooks on a flat stone griddle instead of a grill — meat doesn't stick, and the night ends with cheesy kimchi fried rice crisped right on it. Lunch is $24.99 every day, dinner starts at $29.99, waits are rare, and the service is some of the fastest on Convoy.

$$$ Parking: Medium Group friendly

Chon Ju Jip

전주집

Tiny mom-and-pop Korean kitchen run by Korean aunties — bubbling stews, raw marinated crab, bossam with oysters and banchan that keeps coming. The spot on Convoy where you'll hear the most Korean spoken.
