Turn Up the Heat with Namoo’s Spicy Pork Bulgogi

Looking to spice up your Korean BBQ experience? Meet your new obsession: Spicy Pork Bulgogi, a fiery favorite that brings together bold gochujang-based flavors, tender pork, and Namoo’s signature table-side grilling. It’s everything you love about Korean food — with a serious kick.

At Namoo Korean BBQ in Marina Del Rey, our Spicy Pork Bulgogi is more than just a dish — it’s a flavor experience built for heat seekers, foodies, and anyone who loves that perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy.

🌶️ What Is Spicy Pork Bulgogi?

Bulgogi (불고기) typically refers to marinated grilled meat. While beef bulgogi gets a lot of love, spicy pork bulgogi brings a gochujang (Korean chili paste) twist that packs more heat and depth.

We take premium cuts of pork, slice it thin, and marinate it in our house-made spicy sauce featuring:

  • Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)

  • Garlic & ginger

  • Sesame oil

  • Soy sauce

  • A hint of sugar for balance

Then it’s grilled right at your table, hot and fresh, creating caramelized edges, deep flavor, and a sizzling sound that turns heads.

🧡 Why It’s a Crowd Favorite

Our regulars love this dish because:

  • 🔥 It’s got heat — but not overpowering. Just enough to make your tastebuds dance.

  • 🥩 Super tender pork, thanks to our slow-marinated prep process.

  • 🌱 Perfect for lettuce wraps — pair with ssamjang, garlic, and pickled radish for the ultimate bite.

  • 🍚 Goes great with rice, kimchi stew, or even cold beer or soju.

Whether you're a spice lover or just dipping your toes into Korean heat, this dish delivers flavor first, fire second.

🥬 How to Eat It Like a Local

Here’s how we do Spicy Pork Bulgogi Namoo style:

  1. Grab a leaf of crisp romaine or perilla

  2. Add a slice (or scoop!) of grilled spicy pork

  3. Top with sliced garlic, jalapeño, and ssamjang

  4. Optional: Add a slice of cucumber or pickled radish for crunch

  5. Wrap it up, take a bite, and let the flavor explosion begin

💡 Fun fact: In Korea, it’s called “ssam” — and the goal is one perfect bite.

🍽️ What to Pair It With

Make your table even more flavorful by adding these Namoo favorites:

  • 🍲 Kimchi Stew – balances the spice with tangy warmth

  • 🍜 Japchae Noodles – stir-fried glass noodles that cool things down

  • 🥚 Steamed Egg (gyeran-jjim) – fluffy, savory, and soothing

  • 🍶 Soju – it’s tradition
