Looking for Korean BBQ in Barcelona? Seoul Nadri offers tabletop grilling, Korean-language ordering and a lively atmosphere. For us, the standout was the extra-spicy kimchi jjigae rather than the pork. Our meal for two, including pork neck, a second pork cut, kimchi stew with rice, two beers and soju, cost €72.80.
This is BIRDI’s personal review based on our September 2026 visit. Prices below come from our own menu photos and receipt; current prices and opening arrangements may change.
Why we chose Seoul Nadri
Earlier in our trip, I had wanted to grill meat at Miso Korean Restaurant in Granada but did not get to. By the time we reached Barcelona, I was still craving a proper Korean BBQ meal, so we chose somewhere with grills built into the tables.
Some Spanish meals had felt too salty or rich for my personal taste during the trip. Familiar pork, rice and spicy kimchi stew were exactly what I wanted that evening.

We made a spontaneous visit without a reservation and were seated without waiting. However, there seemed to be quite a few reserved tables. If eating here is an important part of your itinerary, I would recommend booking ahead instead of relying on our walk-in experience.
A Korean BBQ atmosphere in the middle of Barcelona
The stainless-steel tables, built-in grills, overhead extraction pipes and Korean signs felt wonderfully familiar. It reminded me of a busy Korean BBQ restaurant in a Korean nightlife district.
On our visit, there appeared to be more international guests than Korean guests. Seeing people grilling meat and drinking soju at the surrounding tables made the atmosphere especially fun. This was a place to enjoy a lively meal and a little taste of home.
What we ordered and our €72.80 bill
The tablet offered a Korean-language option, with photos and prices that made ordering straightforward. The menu also included stews, bibimbap, noodles, pancakes, fried chicken and Korean drinks.
Our receipt:
Iberico pork neck (moksal): €19.00
Pork listed as Iberico hangjeongsal on the Korean menu: €18.00
Pork kimchi stew with rice: €15.90
Estrella Damm draft beer: €3.00
Clara (lemon beer): €3.00
Chamisul Fresh soju: €13.90
Total for two: €72.80
A naming detail: the second pork dish was labeled hangjeongsal on the Korean tablet menu, while the receipt used “Secreto Ibérico.” I have kept both descriptions here so you can match our order to the restaurant’s menu rather than assuming the two butchery terms are identical.
We selected the extra-spicy option for the kimchi stew, which was also recorded on the receipt. Rice was included with the stew. We did not order the €6 soju sampler shown in our menu photos; we chose a bottle of Chamisul Fresh.
Pork neck and the second pork cut: familiar, rather than exceptional
The pork neck was a familiar Korean BBQ experience. Putting it on the grill felt satisfying after missing out earlier in the trip, but I would not describe the meat itself as exceptional. To my taste, it was fairly ordinary pork neck of the kind I was used to eating in Korea.
The second pork dish was similar in that respect: enjoyable as part of the meal, but not something I would travel across the city for on meat quality alone.
That distinction matters when choosing this restaurant. If your priority is outstanding grilled pork, keep expectations moderate. If you want to cook meat at the table, eat Korean side dishes and enjoy a familiar restaurant atmosphere while traveling, the experience may appeal much more.
The kimchi jjigae was the highlight
The bright red kimchi stew was the dish I enjoyed most. It arrived in a black earthenware bowl with visible kimchi, tofu and sliced green onion, alongside white rice.
We ordered it extra spicy. For me, that comforting, spicy Korean flavor was exactly what had been missing during the trip. A spoonful of stew, some rice and a piece of grilled pork made the meal feel complete.
My recommendation is specific to that extra-spicy order: if you prefer milder food, ask about the available spice levels rather than assuming our version will suit you. I would definitely order the kimchi jjigae again.
Beer, soju and a little taste of home
We started with an Estrella Damm draft beer and a Clara, then ordered soju. With kimchi stew and pork on the table, Chamisul felt like a natural part of the meal.
Holding that familiar green bottle in Barcelona made me laugh. The surroundings and food together gave us the Korean BBQ evening I had been craving.
Is Seoul Nadri worth visiting?
For us, Seoul Nadri worked best as a comforting Korean meal and a fun evening out. The pork was ordinary rather than a major food discovery, but the kimchi jjigae was excellent for my taste, and I loved the familiar atmosphere.
I would recommend it to travelers missing Korean food, particularly anyone craving spicy kimchi stew with rice and soju. Book ahead if you want a specific time, and approach it as a lively Korean BBQ experience with a standout stew.
