Its lane after lane of distinctive retro atmosphere blended with modern sensibility makes it somewhere I often choose for meetups, too. ![Inside Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-02-tg0ae-900.webp) Among them, Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui (을지백탄뼈구이) sets itself apart with a distinctive fire-kissed flavor, using only baektan (premium white charcoal), considered the finest type of hardwood charcoal. ![Visit to Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-03-pc8b7-900.webp) I had already heard all about the reputation of Euljiro grilled bones and had wanted to visit for ages, so I was finally able to go in person this time. ## Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui location and reservations ![Directions to Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-04-r4mit-900.webp) One of Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui's biggest advantages is its access to the subway. I had gone to Jongno 5-ga to buy medicine, then strolled over for some exercise—and it is literally a one-second walk from Exit 11 of Euljiro 3-ga Station! Step outside and the Euljiro grilled-bones restaurant is right there. ![Restaurant near Euljiro 3-ga Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-05-euigt-900.webp) If you visit without a reservation, the wait can be long, so during peak dining hours I recommend making a Catch Table reservation as soon as you arrive. Reservations through Naver Booking and Catch Table are well set up, saving you the trouble of standing in a long line. ![Restaurant reservations and waiting](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-06-17snh-900.webp) I visited around 4 p.m., when there were still plenty of seats, but while I was eating, a constant stream of guests quickly filled the first floor. ![First-floor seating at Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-07-seyog-900.webp) There is a private room for 4 to 8 people and a floor-seating group table that can accommodate up to 20, so keep that in mind. ![Private room and group seating information](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-08-1vx4t-900.webp) ## Grilled bones and side dishes Grilled bones are the specialty, but beef brisket udder cartilage, grilled cuttlefish, and bone gamjatang (pork-bone potato stew) are also main dishes. ![Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-09-1rty6-900.webp) ![Grilled bones and main-menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-10-oes3n-900.webp) There are also a potato pancake and fried cuttlefish, which really create great synergy when eaten alongside the main dishes. ![Potato pancake and fried cuttlefish](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-11-15xk1-900.webp) ![Side-dish menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-12-su13q-900.webp) As a wine lover, I was also happy to see that corkage is allowed: ₩20,000 per bottle for wine or whisky. Next time, I should bring a bottle of wine to have with the food. ![Wine and whisky corkage information](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-13-qkdn1-900.webp) They give you bottled water outright, which felt more hygienic. ![Water served in a bottle](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-14-1iow4-900.webp) The banchan (Korean side dishes) were kept simple, with just three carefully chosen essentials. ![Simply arranged Korean side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-15-1yync-900.webp) ![Cabbage salad and aged-kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-16-j1641-900.webp) The cabbage salad, rinsed aged kimchi, and pleasantly crisp, nicely fermented kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) were all delicious. ![Generous serving of white-charcoal grilled bones](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-17-sqwoi-1200.webp) ## White-charcoal aroma and tender meat on the grilled bones At last, the grilled bones I had been waiting for arrived in a generous spread. Euljiro is packed with meat restaurants and beloved old-school spots, but grilled bones are a truly special dish that is not easy to find. ![Grilled bones and whole grilled green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-18-1chkb-900.webp) Large whole green onions were grilled too and served as a garnish, immediately catching my eye. ![A large grilled bone held with tongs](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-19-deb4x-900.webp) When I lifted one grilled bone with the tongs, it was quite large and weighty. It was generously coated in a coarse minced-garlic seasoning, and a gentle charcoal aroma had deeply seeped between the tender pork bones. ![Grilled bone topped with garlic seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-20-pqv51-900.webp) It had been cooked moist and tender over the intense heat of white charcoal, so the meat came away from the bone easily with only the lightest touch of chopsticks. ![Tender cooked meat from grilled bones](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-21-u55mg-900.webp) Look. The bone slips right out this easily. ![Bone with the meat easily removed](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-22-16ef1-900.webp) ### How spicy is it? You can choose the spice level of the sweet-and-spicy house sauce from 1 to 4, and even the level 1 I chose had a mild kick as a baseline. Level 2 is about as spicy as Shin Ramyun, level 3 is at the level of Buldak 볶음면 (fire chicken noodles), and level 4 is very hot—so everyone from people who cannot handle spice to heat lovers can choose what suits them. ![Grilled bones with spice-level options](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-23-1yf4x-900.webp) ![Grilled bones with grilled green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill-24-gwaoz-900.webp) The grilled green onion served alongside was a delicacy in its own right, with a subtle sweetness that made it great with the Euljiro grilled bones. If you want to experience meat with truly rich meatiness and charcoal aroma around Euljiro, Myeong-dong, or Jongno—not just another ordinary meat restaurant—I recommend Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui. I loved the thoughtfully composed menu, but the staff were incredibly kind as well, and the convenient location made this a thoroughly satisfying meal. ## Where it is - Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui (을지백탄뼈구이) - 110-2 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 을지로 110-2 1층 - 37.5660916, 126.9902218 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%84%EC%A7%80%EB%B0%B1%ED%83%84%EB%BC%88%EA%B5%AC%EC%9D%B4/@37.5660916,126.9902218,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@after-order-seoul/euljiro-baektan-pork-bone-grill/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
