Hanwoo BBQ in Incheon: gochujang yukhoe and cold noodles at Kkuseokji

What kind of restaurant is Kkuseokji Dolpan Hanu Incheon Nonhyeon Branch?

Kkuseokji Dolpan Hanu Incheon Nonhyeon Branch (꾸석지돌판한우 인천논현점) is a stone-plate hanwoo grill in Nonhyeon-dong, Incheon that says it sticks to carefully selected top-grade Korean beef. This is my second visit to Kkuseokji!! I was in Nonhyeon, Incheon again, so I stopped by and here's my review ☺️

The moment I arrived, the sign caught my eye: "If it's not real hanwoo, we'll compensate you 1,000 times over!" Kkuseokji Incheon Nonhyeon Branch is proud that grade 1 or higher hanwoo is not all the same!

Is parking easy at Kkuseokji Dolpan Hanu in Nonhyeon?

There's free parking for about 3-4 cars right in front of the restaurant, so parking is really easy!! 👍🏻

If it's full, you can park at a nearby public lot, within a 5-minute walk of the restaurant. (Nonhyeon Taekji 5 public lot, ₩600 per 30 minutes) (Roadside public lot on Nongogae-ro 123beon-gil)

Weekday lunch specials: menu and hours

On weekdays from 11:30 to 14:30, Kkuseokji Incheon Nonhyeon Branch has lunch specials! That's the window to eat hanwoo bulgogi hot pot, spicy pork set, yukhoe (raw beef) bibimbap, raw-meat kimchi stew, naengmyeon (cold noodles) and more at friendly prices!!

There are also high chairs, so it's a good place to visit for families with kids!

The quality of the meat matters, but there's one more thing that makes or breaks the taste!! The grill plate! Kkuseokji Incheon Nonhyeon Branch uses a top-grade black stone plate, which they say locks in the juices and boosts the flavor of the meat!!

What we ordered: Set A, cold noodles, gochujang yukhoe and bone soup

We started by ordering Set A at Kkuseokji Incheon Nonhyeon Branch. Set A comes with a good mix of sirloin, galbi-sal (rib meat) and eopjin-sal (brisket flap)!!

We added mul naengmyeon (cold noodle soup), gochujang yukhoe (spicy raw beef) and bone soup to Set A, and ate really well and filled up!!☺️

Set A for 46,000 won (rib finger meat 100g, brisket 100g, sirloin 200g)

With Set A, we ate in order: sirloin first, then eopjin-sal, then galbi-sal. They said it's grade 1 hanwoo, and sure enough, so delicious. It pairs really well with salt and wasabi.

The myeongi-namul (pickled wild garlic leaves) and pajeori (spicy scallion salad) side dishes are a perfect match for hanwoo!!!🤤👍🏻

Mul naengmyeon (cold noodles) for 6,800 won

When we'd eaten about two-thirds of the grilled meat, I ordered mul naengmyeon! The portion was right for the price and it was tasty :-) On a hot day like these, nothing beats naengmyeon as a finisher!! And with beef, it's the best combo!

Gochujang yukhoe (spicy raw beef): 14,700 won for 150g

After the meat, we had naengmyeon and a plate of gochujang yukhoe as the finisher. I think it'd be perfect as both a finisher and a drinking snack. It's not too salty or spicy, and not overpowering, which I liked. The meat is so fresh and good that I bet the sesame oil yukhoe would be clean and really delicious too!!

Bone soup for 1,000 won (one order only)

(It's not a typo!!! It really is a thousand won!!!!) Honestly I was already somewhat full, but I was curious about the bone soup, which you can get for ₩1,000 one time only, so I ordered it :-)

The clear meat broth goes so well with white rice. In the end I even added a bowl of rice and ate it all^_^ It feels like one of the best value menu items ever.
