About this spot
WangBiJip delivers the authentic, smoky flavor of traditional Korean barbecue right in the heart of Jongno District. You'll be served generous slabs of marbled beef and spicy pork belly that sizzle perfectly over your own charcoal grill. The experience is elevated by their house-made kimchi and a selection of regional side dishes that balance the rich meats.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'samgyeopsal' (pork belly) first as it cooks faster than the beef, then finish with the leaner cuts.
- Bring your own bottle of soju or makgeolli if you plan to drink, as the restaurant may not serve alcohol outside peak hours.
- Save room for the cold 'naengmyeon' noodles served at the end to cleanse your palate after the heavy grilled meats.
