Grilled meat is grilled meat.

I could be wrong, but with Yakiniku, I think eating offal (organs and bits and pieces) is more common than your typical korean bbq.
Also, I think yakiniku has more respect for the charcoal grill?

One is from Korea, other one is from Japan.

Your welcome.



Korean BBQ tend to predominantly use pork meat. When beef is used, is usually high quality cuts of beef for those special events. + less emphasis on vegetables grilled.

Best part of Korean BBQ that Yakiniku doesn't have: wrapping your BBQ meats in bite sized lettuce bundles (ssam), with kimchi, garlic, rice, etc.



It's claimed the present style of Yakiniku is derived from Korean BBQ restaurants that opened in Osaka and Tokyo around 1945, accommodating Korean style BBQ to Japanese tastes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakiniku

The difference between Korean BBQ and Yakiniku in Vancouver:

Korean BBQ will commonly have lettuce (ssam) to wrap your meat, and side dishes (banchan) such as kimchi, sweet potato, bean sprouts, etc. The dipping sauce will likely be ssamjang (chili pepper and fermented soybean), and meat could be marinated in typical Korean flavours like that of sweet bulgogi, or spicy gochulchang (chili pepper).

In Vancouver, Yakiniku will seldom come with included side dishes (but sides can be ordered), and the meat is meant to be eaten on its own. Included dipping sauces are usually oil with salt and pepper, a soy based one, or a miso type. Marinades could be a typical Korean style sweet bulgogi, or miso, and more commonly unmarinated in Yakiniku than Korean BBQ.

The lines are blurry in Vancouver as many Yakiniku here are Korean owned, and they include some Korean items on their menu. Conversely, many Korean BBQ restaurants here have Japanese items on their menu due to popularity.

That's the only difference I know of... I assumed they were pretty much the same until I had it in Korea last week.

To me that's the only real difference. Personally I prefer it just with rice.. The taste of simple grilled meat can rarely be improved upon, IMO.

Also in Japan it's more about beef and Korea is more pork, but maybe that's just what I noticed anecdotally.

The lettuce helps cut the grease/fat and allows you to eat more without that greasy feeling.

In Korea, pork is more commonly eaten due to cost. Beef is still wildly popular but it's an expensive meal. For pork BBQ (usually pork belly, called samyeopsal) I typically paid ~$10/person. Beef BBQ would start around ~$15/person and would rise much higher.

For perspective, boxed sets of raw butchered beef ready for BBQ are considered extravagant and desirable gifts in Korea.
