I was recently looking for some late night dinner on the way home recently. I stopped by OCT metro station hoping to get some Korean food. Sadly, all of the restaurants in the area were closing up. Then, I saw “BBQ”.

I went inside and took a look around. It’s very clean. Lots of little PSY statues had caught my eye when I was warmly greeted by the staff. They didn’t speak much English, but told me if you order by phone they should be able to understand if you speak slowly. I asked when they closed and they told me they are open until midnight—very convenient when suffering from the late night munchies.

The restaurant is a fusion of Korean and Italian, two countries not really known to share cuisines.

BBQ carries all kinds of food: pizza, pasta, fried chicken, Korean rice stone pots, and salads. Really tasty, too. I previously tasted their wing platter, which was very delicious; it had golden-fried chicken wings with nice dipping sauces, fries and some olives.

Today I opted for some spring rolls. They were extra crispy and had a great flavor to them. I also ordered the pasta salad. It tasted good but wasn’t exactly as I expected. I thought I’d receive a bite-size kind of pasta like penne or bow tie; instead, it only had a few pieces of bow tie and was mostly spaghetti. The dish also included a few vegetables tossed in a very delicious balsamic vinaigrette.

Finally, as my main dish I had the mushroom cream pasta, which was delicious. The pasta was cooked well and the cream sauce had the right consistency and flavor.  I look forward to visiting BBQ again in the near future or ordering some late delivery from them.
