Myeongdong Korean BBQ Samgyeopsal Sancheong Sutbul Garden 을지로맛집 산청숯불가든 을지로 삼겹살 고기집

The entrance sits a few steps into an alley off the main road, and the first thing you see inside is meat being butchered at an open station, in a room styled like an old-time butcher's restaurant. Staff grill over coffee-wood binchotan charcoal, and smoke is drawn out right beside each grill. The traditional salt-grilled pork is cut on the bias and runs with juice, while the gochujang-glazed pork belly, sweet and spicy, is best eaten hot because it turns gamey as it cools. For soup, there is a light clam rice soup with a long finish and a thick black-bean doenjang stew with hanu beef. Waitlist sign-up is through the Catchtable app, and on Friday evenings the queue can reach 200 parties. It is 200m from Euljiro 3-ga Station.
