âBuil Galbiâ started in Busan and is now located in Gyodae. It is a place that has continued its 55-year tradition for 3 generations. The interior has a large space, and it is a favorite place for office workers who have dinner with family guests.

If you soak the meat thoroughly in the sesame oil sauce served with egg yolk, the savory flavor will increase. âMarinated spareribs,â which have a sweet and spicy soy sauce marinated between the sheaths, is also a popular menu.

âForest Fire Sirloinâ is located in a food alley near Exit 1 of Euljiro Station. You can feel the atmosphere of a long-established store from the shabby exterior of the store and the menu boards written on paper. They only sell two menus: âgrilled sirloinâ and âmiso stew.â If you eat âgrilled sirloinâ grilled over charcoal with a sweet and sour green onion sauce, the umami will be brought out to the fullest and the aftertaste will be refreshed. âBeef miso jjigae,â which is thickly simmered with plenty of beef, green onions, peppers, and tofu, is also a popular menu. The rich soup and hearty composition keep nearby office workers on their feet. Please note that you can only order miso stew at lunchtime .

â² Business hours: 10:30 to 22:00 on weekdays, closed on Sundays/holidays

â² Review (Meow Meow Meow 1): My personal favorite miso stew restaurant. It's closed on weekends and holidays, so I can't go there often, but the slightly salty yet savory miso jigae is excellent!!! However, there are a lot of people, so the line for lunch is long. The mackerel stew here is also delicious because it has a lot of seasoning. Miso jjigae can be expensive, but if you eat delicious miso jjigae and tasty side dishes on rice, it really tastes like honey b.

Thicker than regular frozen sirloin, it adds a chewy flavor. The wine corkage service can be used free of charge, and wine glasses are provided. âPyongyang Rangmyeon,â which is a combination of tuk tuk tuk cut noodles and a rich meat broth, is also a popular menu. There is a large parking space in front of the store, and valet parking is also available .

âSinjeongâ made a name for itself as the first Genghis Khan specialty restaurant in Korea. The large fountain and the interior, which is neatly decorated with marble, create a luxurious atmosphere. The âsirloin grillâ here is of fresh quality using beef managed directly on the farm. The staff grills the meat themselves, so you can enjoy your meal comfortably. âGrilled duck,â which is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside and has an excellent light flavor, is also a popular menu item. Since grilled duck is sold in limited quantities, pre-orders are essential. Please note that there is an additional charge when refilling some side dishes.

â² Business hours: 11:30 ~ 23:00 every day
â² Price: Grilled sirloin 54,000 won, grilled duck 74,000 won, Jingisukan 47,000 won
â² Review (Pork in front of Suwon City Hall): A refreshing side dish. The main menu has a strong flavor, so the side dishes are mostly mixed. Gopchang hot pot that I've only heard in words. It wasn't a chewy offal, but it had a texture that melts in the mouth. I also liked the rich flavor of the soup.
