Soksan sutbul Galbi at Seodaemun-gu

If you happen to be at the area of the Grand Hilton Seoul at Seodaemun-gu, don't forget the opportunity to try Soksan sutbul galbi.

If its a galbi place, its korean BBQ and the best ones i believe are those places which actually don't have an english menu but this one exceeded my expectations. They have great beef! What else can I say, and the prices are not so bad, considering beef is really expensive in Korea with the limited grazing lands.

It happens to be one of the best i've tried so far! Grilled beef, sirloin, ribs, you name it, this place is worth a try.

No chairs here. just traditional seating. Make sure your socks are in good shape.

 Reasonably priced, I think...

Beef Ribs

Almost too late to get a photo as the beef was going very fast!

Hansik means Korean Food

A good friend of mine who lived in Korea recommended this restaurant named Gogung (which means Old [go] Castle [gung] which is famous for their bibimbap and since I have no idea what to eat and my knowledge of Korean food is shamefully limited, I decided to  try it out.

As a newbie, I ordered the ones which sounded the most familiar:

Gogung is located at Myeong-dong, but  they have other branches throughout  the city, its on the 2nd floor of this building.

Ddukbeagi Bulgogi - served hot on a clay pot, it was still boiling and had a nice sweet taste to it. The beef was nice and tender perfect with a cup of steamed sticky rice.

Bibimbap - A healthy rice topping dish with assorted vegetable thats full of flavor and textures

We didn't order this! But in a Korean restaurant you get all this food

This is me enjoying my Hansik.

Get There: Gogung is located in Myeongdong, Myeongdong station, line 4 (light blue line), Exit 9
