Ajoomma Korean Charcoal BBQ cooks up a marriage of modernity and tradition in the charming Gemmill Lane

Sizzling up a sleek and stylish new Korean barbecue experience along the charming Gemmill Lane is Ajoomma Korean Charcoal BBQ. 

Designed to immerse diners in a new-age Korean barbecue setting, Ajoomma Korean Charcoal BBQ promises a sophisticated, smokeless meal, comfortably carved out in an array of captivating spaces and enclaves, complete with private rooms featuring top-notch karaoke systems. Redefining the typical Korean barbecue restaurant, it sizzles up the perfect blend of modern luxury and traditional Korean barbecue for authentic rustic flavors enjoyed in polished comfort. 

On the menu are premium cuts of bold red meats like A4 Miyazaki beef, snow-aged Yukimuro full-blood Wagyu, and A4 Wagyu ribeye as well as fresh seafood including fish, shellfish, and crustaceans. Perfecting the flavors is a selection of woodfire to add that extra zing to your meal. 

Choose from five types of carefully selected wood: applewood, cherry, pecan, hickory, and mesquite. Applewood with its subtle sweet nose is great for cooking seafood, vegetables, and white lean meat. Cherry lends a mild fragrance to the same choices of seafood, vegetables, and white meat. Pecan brings a higher intensity, perfect for searing seafood, and white and red meat while flavoring it with just a touch of smokiness. Hickory will cut through the fattiness of poultry, pork, and red meats to thoroughly cook with punchy smokiness. Finally, mesquite will take on the full game of pork, mutton, beef, and the like and add a boldness unlike any other. 

Ajoomma Korean Charcoal BBQ borrows its name from the Korean word for 'middle-aged woman’, particularly her gung-ho attitude and charitable fervor. When it comes to gathering the freshest ingredients to prepare a hearty meal for family, friends, or neighbors in need, the Ajoomma will spare no effort. The same attention to detail and meticulous planning goes into each serving of grilled Korean goodness at Ajoomma Korean Charcoal BBQ.
