“Yukhoe†is a dish that is enjoyed by seasoning raw meat that has not been cooked over a fire with salt or red pepper paste. Unseasoned meat is called pork sashimi, and seasoned food is called yukhoe. Yukhoe with octopus can also be enjoyed as an “octopus soup.†You can feel the aroma of raw meat, and you can feel the unique aroma even in small pieces, so it's also a favorite snack for lovers. Rice and vegetables can also be grated together and enjoyed as a meal menu. Let's take a look at yukhoe restaurants that fill your mouth with chewiness.

â–²Price: Yukhoe (200g) 12,000 won
â–²Review (Hellti-Foodist): Michelin Mark Bib Gourmand Buchon Yukhoe waits available. Ordered octopus soup with yukhoe. Great as a snack for sake! The garlic slices are big and the radish served in the beef stew is amazing! Hahahaha, octopus doesn't have much power lol I tried to wrap up whether the belly on the underside of the pork belly was long or the kim-gil was short, and they all came out and counted it out lol lol but the liver and cheonleaf are really fresh and very, very, very savory and delicious lol
2. Anyone who knows the taste of yukkeshi must have heard of “Sister Yukhoe Restaurant†in Jongno

â–²Business hours: 9:00 to 22:30 every day
â–²Price: Yukhoe 12,000 won, pork soup 25,000 won, pork sashimi 24,000 won
â–²Testimonial (Three Meals of Shikigami): When it comes to Gwangjang Market, isn't Yukhoe Yukhoe the sister Yukhoe? Honestly, that house is probably that house, but it seems like name value plays a part in making it worth going even at the cost of waiting?? It's a famous restaurant, so I think it's even more delicious? After all, a raw plate of yukhoe and a bowl of yukhoe bibimbap makes me feel like I've eaten plenty of nutritional value!
3. 'Anju Village' in Jongno, where you can find a different menu every day

â–²Location: 1-2 Naeja-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul
â–²Business hours: 15:00 to 3:00 every day
â–²Price: Grilled pork with red pepper and grilled eel 9,000 won, grilled Spanish mackerel/grilled mackerel 12,000 won, stir-fried skins/stir-fried cod bones 8,000 won, grilled deok 9,000 won
â–²Review (I went to eat Mapo noodles): A very famous restaurant with a one-hour wait even if you go there at 6:40. The daily menu varies depending on the ingredients. This time, yuksashimi, anchovy sashimi, and grilled gochujang tripe. It looked pretty and tasted good. It's a place I'd like to try seasonal fish dishes next time. The inconvenience and noise caused by the narrow interior is also flawed. I think I'll have to go at dawn if I want to eat for a long time.
4. A place where you can enjoy pasta and yukhoe at the same time, Itaewon's 'regular shop'

â–²Review (Shikigshin Maigumi): All of the menus here are delicious and famous, but the spicy pasta in particular is really delicious! It's moderately spicy and moderately spicy, so I think it will be the pasta of life:) Needless to say, Yukhoe is delicious! If you come to Itaewon, I highly recommend it! However, I think it's almost always full as soon as 6 o'clock, so I think it would be a good idea to come and wait in advance hehe!

â–²Price: Yukhoe (large) 9,000 won, bean sprout rice 4,000 won, yukhoe (small) 6,000 won
â–²Review (Hoya Shikigin's dad): Crown Restaurant is a place I've always wanted to visit while touring restaurants in Daejeon these days!! It's a place that only operates from 12:00 to 2:00 a day, so it was hard to visit, but I finally visited!! I visited early when I heard that I had to stand in line, but can I enter from 11:40?! For those who come next, please note, hehe, I came in first place and was sitting still a bit, so I almost got in line even if people were a little late… hehe, Yukhoe Soza is perfect for someone who goes on a restaurant tour alone like me!! If you come with two people, you'll have to ask for someone else… Also, the water is sensible and barley tea! Very good!!
