연탄불고기 Yeontan Bulgogi

Start with these dishes

Bulgogi requires at least 2 servings. The owner grills it with shredded green onions over coal and serves it on an iron plate; turn on the heat and enjoy. My favourite bite was pork, green onions, garlic and ssamjang wrapped in perilla and lettuce leaves. Save a little meat and finish with doenjang sulbap (rice finale).

Soy-sauce bulgogi grilled over coal with shredded green onions, finished with doenjang sulbap (rice finale).

The owner grills the soy-sauce bulgogi and shredded green onions over coal briquettes until cooked, then serves them on a hot iron plate. You only need to turn on the heat to keep the food warm. The thin, tender pork is complemented by the texture and aroma of green onions and a clean coal-grilled aroma. I tried the first bite on its own, then wrapped the pork, green onions, garlic and ssamjang in perilla and lettuce leaves. Save a little meat for the finale: rice mixed with doenjang stew is poured onto the same iron plate and simmered into doenjang sulbap (rice finale). Side dishes are served initially; refills are self-service.

The place

A quiet old neighborhood restaurant in Gajwa-dong. The owner stir-fries soy-marinated pork bulgogi with shredded green onion over briquette coals and serves it on a pre-heated iron griddle. At the table you just light the burner and eat it warm.

Ganjang bulgogi

Ganjang (soy) bulgogi for two (200 g at 9,900 won × 2 = 19,800 won). The meat is thin and tender. Cooked together with the green onion, it carries the briquette aroma and the scent of the onion.

How to eat

First a piece on its own; then wrapped in lettuce and perilla leaf with meat, green onion, garlic and ssamjang. I had soju (4,000 won) with it.

Doenjang sulbap

Leave a little meat, and they pour doenjang-jjigae with rice onto the griddle you ate from and cook it there (doenjang sulbap, 4,000 won). Total 27,800 won.

A word for visitors from abroad

Ganjang bulgogi is ordered from two servings. Leave a little meat and they will cook doenjang sulbap for you. There is no station nearby, so walk from Seobu Women's Center Station.
