The Best Korean BBQ I’ve Ever Had!

This is the best Korean BBQ I’ve ever eaten! We ordered the 4-person set for 98,000 KRW, which included three different types of meat, bibimbap, and cold noodles.

Fresh & Juicy Meat, Perfectly Grilled

The meat here isn’t overly marinated, allowing the natural freshness and quality to shine through. Just by looking at the cuts, you can tell they’re going to be amazing. The staff expertly grills the meat for you, and thanks to their perfect control of the heat, the meat was cooked just right—super juicy and tender. Adding just a bit of their sauce made it taste even better!

A Surprise Delight: The Cold Noodles

One unexpected highlight was the cold noodles—the flavor is hard to describe, but everything mixed together perfectly, making it incredibly delicious. However, the bibimbap wasn’t quite to my taste.

Portion Size & Price

The only downside is that the portion size is a bit small for the price. We were three men and one woman, and even after finishing everything, we were only about half full.

Overall, if you’re looking for high-quality, juicy, and fresh Korean BBQ, this place is definitely...

Not all K-bbq are the same. This place Cheongdon-og stands out amongst the rest. Nowadays bbq places are everywhere and this trip we have tried a few places and all are good but nothing compares to this place.

The meats are super fresh and oh god the soups, they are made just the way I remembered it 25 years ago. Most Korea eateries I feel have taken a lot of shortcuts in cooking their meals as they are going for mass and quick delivery and cooking methods are being followed as like the old days. The soups here are rich and flavourful. The kimchi jigae isn’t sour like some places.

If you come here order the sets and we ordered the sets and added more meats and soups. Price is reasonable for what they give you

Very small restaurant and only sits maybe around 30 people. Definitely a must if you’re...

Came here after hiking so we were HUNGRY. The food was decent, really liked the sesame oil they provided (I think it’s their own product). The staff were very efficient, they seated us, plated the table and cooked the meat for us.

We ordered 4 servings of pork belly, cheonggukjang, bibimbap, buckwheat noodles, 1 rice for 3 persons.

One thing tho, I wish there were lettuce & more side dishes. It’s a staple to wrap kbbq meat! This could be a downside for some. Overall, we...
