Does anyone know the name of the Korean BBQ practice of cross hatch cutting meat?

My nephew told me when he was in Korea last year the best BBQ meat he had was a cross hatched and then grilled cut ( scored kind of like a mango!). He couldn't remember what that style of meat preparation was called. And while I have your attention, any suggestions for a restaurant in K-town who offers this style of BBQ would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance!

    I have encountered this technique applied to fish in the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico.

      that cross-hatch scoring isn't a uniquely Korean technique - it's employed in various cuisines with other ingredients too, and actually serves a number of purposes. it helps render fat out of duck breasts, can assist with marinade absorption, and also keeps meat from curling up when cooked (very useful for calamari/squid).

          Thank you ns!. I was at Park on Vermont on Tuesday night and didn't know ! When you say Park, you meant the one on Vermont? Do you know the term for this sort of preparation so I know what to order on the menu?

            this is the Park's BBQ on Vermont

            I get the #3

            Note that I've only seen that type of scoring on the short rib.
