A dry-aged pork specialty restaurant located directly in front of Gyeongbokgung Station Exit 2, at the entrance of the Sejong Village food street. The signature dry-aged samgyeopsal (pork belly) is seared to a golden crust and sliced tableside - remarkably tender and juicy despite its generous thickness, with zero toughness. Gabri-sal (pork skirt) offers a leaner, nuttier counterpart that pairs well when alternated with the belly. The yangnyeom kkot-samgyeopsal (marinated pork belly) features a mild, sweet seasoning with no heat at all. A full grilling service is provided from start to finish, and staff guide diners through a recommended tasting sequence: the first piece with just salt, followed by pickled peppers and wasabi for a completely different flavor profile. Banchan including white kimchi, scallion salad, and fresh greens are all carefully prepared, while side dishes such as jangajji naengguksu (pickled pepper cold noodles), yangtan-bap, and gopchang jeongol round out the menu. The two-person recommended set includes aged samgyeopsal, gabri-sal, and doenjang jjigae at a value-friendly price. With its clean interior and spacious seating layout, the restaurant suits dates, family dinners, and group gatherings equally well. Reservations are available via CatchTable.
