Korean BBQ & hot pot near Maple Grove

Sōke is about 16 minutes east of Maple Grove via Highway 610, at 8586 Edinburgh Centre Drive in Brooklyn Park.

What makes the drive worth it: BBQ and hot pot at the same table for $5 more a person, a lobster tail or 8 oz ribeye with every adult all-you-can-eat dinner, and a full Vietnamese menu with stone pho and special trays.

Locally owned by Linh Huynh, who has cooked for the north metro since 2008. Bring the group: the Combo Hot Pot feeds two to five.
