According to a recent permit filing, Gangnam BBQ will soon open its doors in Richland, located at 1275 Lee Boulevard.
A representative of Gangnam BBQ was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, according to the permit filing, Gangnam BBQ will come from Dong Min LLC.
According to Washington Company Search, Dong Min LLC has been running for a little over seven years. The registered agent’s name, and permit filer for Gangnam BBQ is Dong Min Won.
An article from the Tri-City Herald written back in 2017, “Min Won, who also owns and operates Sushi Ya Japanese Restaurant, opened Gangnam Style BBQ in July in a 3,000-square-foot former Korean restaurant near Ranch & Home and Texas Roadhouse.”
“Won is a South Korea native who has lived in the U.S. for about 20 years. He cut his teeth in his family’s Portland-area restaurants, racking up successes and failures as he learned about business. He moved to the Tri-Cities eight years ago when the opportunity arose to purchase a sushi restaurant. Won said he was happy to trade Portland’s rain and traffic for the Tri-City sun, rivers, and schools for his young family.”
“Gangnam takes its name from a district in Seoul known for its culture and flavorful style of cooking. “Gangnam Style,” celebrated in the popular Psy song, is a cultural reference. The venture made a soft debut in July and has been steadily building a clientele ever since. The 16-table restaurant has six grills and 10 without.”
“Gangnam’s wait staff bring out the dishes, including marinated meats and a dazzling array of side dishes that include fresh lettuce leaves that serve as wraps; kimchi; potatoes; cabbage; spinach; bean paste and dipping sauces flavored with garlic, sesame, and smoke, to name a few. Gangnam BBQ is at 7903 S. Grandridge Blvd., west of North Columbia Center Boulevard,” the article goes on to state.
