Founded by the famous Korean variety show host Jiang Hudong, Kang Hudong Baiding Barbecue has opened more than 400 chain stores around the world since opening its first store in 2003. "Baekding" means "commoner" in Korean, and Baekding barbecue is positioned as a barbecue restaurant with affordable prices. However, due to the low overall consumption level in Changsha, looking at all the Korean barbecue restaurants in Changsha, Jiang Hudong Baiding barbecue belongs to the first grade with a high average price per person.
As a chain brand, Baiding barbecue is highly consistent from decoration to the price of dishes. At the entrance of the store, there is a striking Jiang Hudong human-shaped stand, which fully highlights Jiang Hudong's honest and playful image. The big screen in the store also shows video clips of Kang Ho-dong or music videos of Korean fashion groups. The simple, industrial-style walls are decorated with various caricatures by Jiang Hudong, making the store more vibrant.
Like the Jiutian family, the white Ding barbecue is also the main original barbecue, which inevitably puts forward higher requirements for the meat. Most of the ingredients for Kang Hu Dong Bai Ding Yakiniku come from Korea, and the snow meat is the signature of the store, and the price is the highest. The fat of snowflake beef is evenly distributed, the color is bright, and the meat is full of juice. After being grilled, the meat is fragrant and has a very rich taste. For those who find the beef taste mild, they can choose to dip it in sea salt grains or the store's secret sauce. Also a must-try is the beef tongue, which is only about half the price of snowflake meat, and the portion is more generous, and each slice is very thick. The beef tongue is crispy and not tough, without any fishy smell, and it has its own flavor whether it is eaten plain or dipped in sauce.
In addition to beef, the restaurant's pork also tastes good. Among them, pork belly is of the best quality, fat but not greasy, and should not be missed by diners who love pork. Compared to plain meat, the flavored meat in the restaurant is not particularly outstanding. Both pork and beef have a sweet taste, and many diners may not be used to this "sweet meat" taste. In addition, the restaurant also has classic Korean dishes such as army hot pot, kimchi soup, cold noodles, and bibimbap for diners to choose from.
There is currently only one Baiding barbecue chain in Changsha, which is located in Changsha Desiqin City Plaza. Since the store has just opened, there is a shortage of manpower at the store, so it is not possible to cater to every customer, and sometimes the meat is baked. But most of the waiters are enthusiastic and will help with the baking.
