Yeoncheon Wangso Galbi 연천왕소갈비

Inside a converted house in residential Gusan-dong, shoes come off at the door. The marinated beef galbi uses American beef, served boneless at 230g per portion, in a marinade that is not overly sweet. Nobody grills for you, and the strong charcoal fire needs watching to keep the meat juicy. A chilled acorn-jelly bowl, dotorimuk-sabal with perilla powder, and summer yeolmu water kimchi cool things down between bites. Space is tight for big families, and weekends often mean a wait.
