Wangbijip Jongno 왕비집 종로점

Quiet and clean by Jongno barbecue standards, this second-floor room near Insadong suits a first Korean meal with visiting family or colleagues. Staff grill the handmade marinated pork ribs at the table and show you how to eat them; a dab of fresh wasabi, served alongside, cuts the fat. Doenjang jjigae, a soybean paste stew, and fluffy steamed egg are the usual companions, and banchan such as pumpkin salad and pickles are refilled on request. Tables can be booked on Naver.
