Read guide →Gangseo-gu in western Seoul is a rapidly developing residential and commercial district near Gimpo Airport. The area has a growing food scene with a mix of established Korean restaurant clusters and newer commercial developments bringing café chains and international options to the expanding population.
This is a classic, old-school barbecue restaurant. I go there when I'm craving nothing but pork ribs. They do have a few side dishes, but I only eat the dongchimi (radish kimchi), garlic, chili peppers, and green onion kimchi. I'm only going for the pork ribs. They only add a few drops of sesame oil to the green onion kimchi, but the seasoning is tasteless. The aunties are very friendly, and the meat is excellent. Anyway, it was delicious.
Pros: The old-fashioned feel, the aunties' attention to detail and service skills. Cons: The seasoning is too salty, the meat isn't of the highest quality, and there aren't many side dishes.
