If you are a group of 2 or 3, you'll be seated with another small group, creating an incredibly social and interactive dining atmosphere.
The Gunbae Menu: A Symphony of Flavors
Gunbae is not just about BBQ; it’s a culinary journey that begins with a complimentary shot of soju, igniting the festive spirit as you start your meal with a traditional Korean drinking game. Let your attendant, who wears the hats of a server, grill chef, and party starter, guide you through the expansive menu offering an array of Virgin Voyages' menus delicacies.
Your gastronomic adventure kicks off with a small tray sampler featuring Korean specialties like kimchi and seafood salad, providing a wonderful introduction to Korean cuisine. Following this, savor the delightful Dakgangjeong, a dish that pairs crispy chili chicken with pickled daikon radish, setting the mood for the delights to come.
Your journey through the Gunbae menu continues with mouth-watering servings of Bibimbap and Japchae. While the former offers a harmonious blend of rice, fried egg, vegetables, and kimchi, the latter presents a delightful medley of vermicelli noodles harmoniously combined with egg and sautéed vegetables. These dishes are sure to be a hit among both adventurous and simple palates alike.
Soju Drinking Games: Where Laughter Resides
As you delve deeper into your meal, the attendant initiates a series of drinking games that bring every corner of Gunbae to life with laughter and playful shouts. These games, involving counting and memory, add a playful and energetic vibe to the dining experience, ensuring that your visit to Gunbae is about much more than just the food. While these games involve a shot of soju, they are not centered around drinking. You can enjoy these memory and counting games without indulging in alcoholic beverages, making them inclusive and fun for everyone.
The Grand BBQ Feast
Then comes the moment everyone has been waiting for – the grand BBQ feast. With options ranging from a vegetable and mushroom platter to a seafood platter brimming with shrimp, octopus, and squid, and meat options featuring beef short ribs, pork belly, and more, the Gunbae menu caters to every palate. Our table opted for the combination plate, a plentiful assortment perfectly grilled right at our table, offering a hot, juicy, and flavorful treat.
If you wish to elevate your dining experience further, the Wagyu platter with Miyazaki ribeye and tenderloin is available for an upgrade, promising an indulgent treat for your taste buds.

Despite the filling feast, make sure to save some room for dessert. Gunbae offers a small yet delightful dessert menu featuring soft serve ice cream with traditional Korean flavors of sesame to provide a perfect end to your meal.
