One of the first-generation restaurants that elevated Seoul's pork BBQ standards, this Sinseol-dong spot serves quality cuts of moksal, samgyeopsal, and hangjeongsal with meticulous grilling by the staff who monitor grill temperature throughout. I recommend starting with the moksal for its tenderness and rich flavor before moving to fattier cuts. The scallion salad hits the perfect balance of seasoning and spice, making it the best banchan pairing with the meat. To finish, the bibim-guksu delivers a refreshing sweet-spicy kick that cuts through meat heaviness, and the doenjang-jjigae fried rice is a satisfying closer. The self-made noodle menu including regular kalguksu and medicinal herb kalguksu features springy, flavorful noodles worth trying. The restaurant is compact, so dinner waits of thirty minutes to an hour are common, but a dedicated second-floor waiting area keeps things organized.
