About this spot
This Hongdae staple delivers smoky, spicy dakgalbi that clings perfectly to every piece of chicken before you slide it into your rice bowl. The accompanying makguksu offers a refreshing respite with its chewy buckwheat noodles swimming in a savory beef broth.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the dakgalbi as 'chicken and egg only' if you want to skip the vegetables for a more focused meat experience.
- Ask for extra gochujang at the table if you find the initial spice level too mild for your taste.
- Bring your own chopsticks or ask for a fresh pair, as the communal grill setup can get messy quickly.
