About the Cuisine

Korean

Korean cuisine (hansik) is built around balance — fermented sides (banchan), a steaming bowl of rice, and a main dish that changes with the season. Meals are served all at once rather than in courses, and sharing dishes at the table is the norm. The depth of flavor comes from slow-fermented pastes like doenjang (soybean) and gochujang (chili), which form the backbone of soups, stews, and marinades across the country.

About the District

Jung-gu

Jung-gu sits at the geographic and commercial center of Seoul, encompassing Myeongdong (K-beauty and street food), Namdaemun Market, and the financial district. The food here spans the full range — from tourist-facing street stalls in Myeongdong to understated lunch joints serving office workers, and traditional Korean restaurants that have operated for decades without needing to advertise.

Wangbijib Myeongdong delivers an exceptional Korean BBQ experience that truly stands out. The side dishes are beautifully presented like little pieces of art, and they taste just as good as they look. The restaurant uses premium charcoal to grill the meat, resulting in very little smoke and a much more comfortable dining environment. The beef quality is excellent — tender, juicy, and full of rich flavour. Even the rice is surprisingly delicious. Another big plus is that they have staff who can speak Chinese, which makes ordering much easier. Definitely a must-try when visiting Myeongdong.

If you want the best Korean bbq experience, this is your place! We visit every trip multiple times… typically one night focused on thier high quality beef (don’t skip the tartar) and one night the pork. Grab a few beers and you have the perfect dinner. Highly recommended!

Started snowing when we just entered. The place looks quite atas (upclass) type of grilling but still without breaking the bank too much. Was told it’s quite popular here and we walked-in without reservations. This is like the top few grilled places we have been and the only grilled beef we tried (price is either very expensive for high grade or cheap for low grades), so this is about mid-tier? Anyways all feels good and service was good. Only thing was during our session had some drunken tourists sitting beside. Fortunately the only trouble they have was this lady was super loud and the staff had to tell them to quieten down. They left after finishing and peace regained. Other signs that they were drunk, the staff picked up their empty wine/beer bottles. The other customers were normal. Anyways the food is good and worth coming. Little ex for my liking but still not crazy price (the higher grades were like 300,000 per pax). Here I spent 100,000+ for 3 so think still reasonable.
