Why here
A charcoal pork-rib house that has been licensed on Yangnyeongseo-gil, inside Gyeongdong Market, since 1999. The rib plate is grilled over yeontan briquettes at the table and is sold by the 300g portion with a two-portion minimum, so it is built for two people rather than one. The rest of the board is market-canteen food at market prices — grilled mackerel, a hanwoo-and-mussel sundubu, cold noodles in summer.
