Buchon Yukhoe Bonjeom 부촌육회 본점

Raw-beef stalls line this alley of Gwangjang Market, and Buchon sits two minutes on foot from Exit 8 of Jongno 5-ga Station. Its yukhoe bibimbap layers lettuce, cucumber, sprouts and pear under lightly seasoned raw beef; going easy on the sauce lets the meat come through. Yuk-sashimi, sliced raw beef, has a firmer chew than the tartare. A beef and radish soup comes with the meal. Queue registration happens on a terminal at the door, each diner orders one dish, and tables are limited to 90 minutes.
