250m from Myeong-dong Station. Musoe Kimchi Samgyeopsal is a Korean BBQ restaurant on the second floor of a building along Myeongdong 8-ga-gil, specializing in samgyeopsal (pork belly) grilled on cast-iron pans alongside kimchi. The full-service grilling experience is a major draw: staff handle the entire cooking process from start to finish, including the garlic, and set up oil-splash guards to protect diners' clothing. While the meat quality is solid, the kimchi is widely considered the true star of the meal, with many guests describing its flavor as genuinely addictive. Minari (water parsley) served as a wrap accompaniment helps cut through the richness, and the doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew) provides a warming complement. The dining room is spacious with generous table spacing, making it well-suited for company dinners and family gatherings. Located right in the heart of Myeongdong's pedestrian shopping district, the restaurant is highly accessible and has become a go-to recommendation for introducing foreign visitors to authentic Korean BBQ. The hands-off grilling service removes any intimidation factor for first-time Korean barbecue diners, and the menu offers enough variety that repeat visits remain interesting.
