Obaltan Samsung 오발탄 삼성점

Staff grill teukyang, thick beef tripe, and daechang, beef large intestine, over charcoal and cut them at the table in this bright, modern Samseong-ro dining room. Samseong Station is within walking distance, and with staff handling the grill, someone new to offal never has to watch the fire. The tripe is springy, the intestine soft with inner fat, and a sweet-salty marinade tames the offal aroma. Cold seasoned tripe arrives as a side that eats like its own dish, long strips of acorn jelly slip down like noodles, and white kimchi in plenty of broth clears the palate. Yang-bap, tripe and rice mixed and set on a hot stone plate, forms a toasty crust underneath. Prices run high, though the weekday lunch set is a lighter way in.
