I’d return for the charcoal-grilled makchang and its dipping sauce. The meat had a springy bite and lightly charred edges; the sauce was rich, nutty and slightly sweet.

What I ordered

I ordered beef makchang—beef offal—and doenjang jjigae, a soybean-paste stew. The photographed menu lists the makchang at ₩23,000 per portion.

The owner helped with grilling during our visit. I also liked having salt alongside the dipping sauce; ask for it if you want to try both.

Before you go

The restaurant is small and smoky. It’s a good fit for someone who already enjoys offal and doesn’t mind a close, lively grill setting.

The address in my notes is 437-27 Bangbae-dong. Check the map pin and current hours before heading into the residential streets. The menu was in Korean.
