Why here
Montan is a Samgak-ji grill famous for udae galbi — a long-bone beef short rib finished over a straw fire — and one of the longest-queue grills in Seoul: walk-in only, no bookings taken, with lines that can run for hours. Korean Englishman brought British teenagers here for their first taste. Come at opening or expect a long wait; the queue is the price of one of the city's most-hyped grills.
