Very local Korean Barbecue Street in Ikseondong, Seoul

Ikseondong is pretty small but worth to visit to walk around. At the corner of Ikseondong, there is Korean BBQ street where local people go after the work.

It is very local place, not many tourists usually yet however, it starts to be known as a hidden spot for foreigners.

There are quite many BBQ restaurants, most of them are serving pork and a little bit beef. In terms of price, almost same ranges, but slightly different sometimes, like 1 USD.

The most 2 famous ones are Mi Galmaegisal and Gwangjujip.

Gwangjujip serves more side dishes, and using the lid of Korean traditional pot to bake meats.

Mi Galmaegisal serves only 2 Kimchi as side dish and uses water tank steel to cook the meats.

There are pros and cons these two BBQ restaurants so I recommend to visit both of them in order to find which one is good for you.

I like Gwangjujip more for side dishes and I like Mi Galmaegisal more for the meats.I wish they combine side dishes from Gwangjujip and meats from Mi Galmaegisal… But still meats are average taste compare to other fancy and nice Korean BBQ restaurants.

Hello @KIM19 , thanks for sharing this nice place with us. I have never been in Korea, but Ikseondong is worth to visit. Mi Galmaegisal and Gwangjujip (I cannot find it on Google Maps, is it there?) look very local and perfect for making a great memory. Did you share your reviews or photos of these places on Google Maps?

Hello. Tasty grilled meat! I love Korean food and go to Korea once or twice a year to eat Korean food. I especially like the stone-grilled Bibimbap restaurant in Myeongdong. It is a delicious stone-grilled bibimbap that you won’t regret even if you pay the plane fee with a very delicious stone-grilled bibimbap. Thank you very much. Regard
