Staff grill the thick, steak-cut pork galbi at the table without letting it char, heaping whole garlic cloves onto the grill beside it. The marinade is not overly sweet and lets the pork itself come through. Once everything is cooked the grill plate is swapped for a clean one, and water kimchi and sliced onion arrive in big communal bowls to help yourself from. Finish with Hamhung-style bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) or mul naengmyeon in chilled broth. Ordering rice brings doenjang-jjigae, soybean paste stew, at no charge. On crowded, loud evenings and weekends, calling ahead for a queue number shortens the wait, and parking nearby is awkward.
