Wolhwa Sikdang 월화식당

Staff work the grills table by table, cooking thick samgyeopsal (pork belly) and moksal (pork neck) so diners never handle the tongs. Jjondeuksal, a chewy cut true to its name, slots in between the two, and wrapping the meat in minari (water dropwort) trims the fat. The pork comes from animal-welfare-certified farms and is raised without antibiotics. Wine corkage is free with no bottle limit. The restaurant uses two floors and sits a short walk from Exit 4 of Mapo Station. Waits are frequent enough that reserving pays off.
