Why here
A butcher-shop-attached raw beef grill in a residential Jangan-dong backstreet, open since 1993 — order fresh-cut cuts (chadolbagi, anchangsal, jebichuri) straight from the case at prices well below typical Seoul beef-house rates. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼) as a neighborhood-only hidden find; regulars still report a wait during peak dinner hours.
