[Geondae] Gogong, Korean BBQ with variety of condiments and side dishes

Must eat in Korea : Samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly)



I'm pretty sure you have a plan to have a Korean BBQ when you are travelling Seoul.

This place is good for tourists who are first to try Samgyeopsal in Korea.


Reason #1 : Convenient.
Compared to other typical BBQ restaurants, servers here grill the meat for customers.
(Just so you know for ppl who are not used to Korean culture,
a majority of the BBQ restaurant in Korea let you cook your own meat.)

Reason #2 : Variety of condiments and side dishes.
This place apparently cares about food pairing!
Sauce, veggies, noodles and soups.. The variety will make your food experience more interesting and entertaining.





I would say.. this BBQ restaurant is one of a kind.

I would definitely go on a date to this place because the place was very clean and neat,
and employees were very kind and gentle made me feel like I'm having a luxury dining experience.



- Menus


Here's a menu of Gogong.

They have pork and beef menu, but I guess their main is pork.
What I ordered was the pork set of Boston butt, pork belly, pork cheek, and grilled mushroom.





I ordered Jjolmyeon which is a chewy glass noodle with spicy gochujang-based sauce.
(Gochujang is a korean traditional chili sauce that has sweet and spicy taste.)

Grilled pork and Jjolmyeon are a great classic combination, so I totally recommend to give it a try!



- Condiments and Side dishes


These side dishes and condiments are for free when you order a set.


#1. Yuja(Yuzu) chili : It tastes good together with fatty part of meat, like ogyeopsal. It adds a fresh, fruity flavour to pork.

#2. Garlic saeujeot : This condiment taste like a oil pasta sauce that has shrimp and garlic added.
Saeujeot is a salted shrimp preserved sauce. It might sound risky, but it could be your favorite!

#3. Wasabi : If you have ever tried Japanese food, you might know what wasabi is. It's also a great choice for fatty meat.
(The best is with beef tho)

#4. Ssamjang : Ssamjang is a traditional Korean sauce that has sweet and savory flavour.
I haven't seen anyone who is not into this sauce.
You are gonna love it! It's a typical BBQ sauce in Korea.


Other side dishes are veggies / salads that goes well with meat.





I love how thick this meat is.
For me, when I choose the BBQ restaurant the thickness of meat is the first thing I consider.

And this place serves a pretty thick pork.





Three types of salt are ready to take flavour into the next level!





Swear that you are gonna love this place,
if you want to have Samgyeopsal at a clean place!
