Yeonnamseo Sikdang 연남서식당

Nobody sits down: there are no chairs, and the single item, marinated beef short ribs (yangnyeom so-galbi), is grilled and eaten standing. This is the original standing-galbi house from Sinchon, now relocated to Yeonhui-dong with the same format. Side dishes stop at green chilies and gochujang. Rice and kimchi come from the shop's own stock of instant rice and packaged kimchi. Drinks are taken straight from the fridge and settled at the end. The fire runs hot and chars the meat fast, the weak ventilation leaves smoke in your clothes, and in summer only fans cool the room.
