About HYO KYE[Korean Premium BBQ Restaurant]

Real charcoal and copper exhaust hoods set the tone at HYO KYE, an intimate Southport spot turning out genuine Korean barbecue without the lingering smoke. Regulars come for the tabletop grills loaded with tender wagyu and nose-to-tail chicken cuts—spanning heart, tenderloin, wings, and soft bone—paired alongside crisp banchan like house kimchi and savory fish cakes. Order a cold draft beer, share a crispy squid and chives pancake, and finish the table spread with a bowl of cold noodles or spicy fried rice.

  • Charcoal grilling with zero smoke: Tabletop grills run on real charcoal, paired with heavy-duty overhead copper exhausts so smoke never clings to your clothes.
  • Specialty chicken cuts: Beyond marbled wagyu and pork sets, the kitchen serves a rare nose-to-tail chicken BBQ featuring hearts, tenderloin, and soft bone.
  • Refillable banchan and Korean staples: Spreads include refillable kimchi and fish cake banchan, alongside crispy squid chive pancakes and fried tteokbokki.

  • Smokeless Post-Meal Comfort

    High-powered dedicated tabletop ventilation prevents barbecue smoke and odors from lingering on clothing and hair during your meal.

    No kbbq smell on our clothes too as the exhaust at each table was very strong.
