Euljiro 3-ga bone grill from Tasty Guys, iced soju: Eulji Baektan

Today's restaurant is ✨a truly great Hipjiro bone grill spot✨: a review of Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui (을지백탄뼈구이) ෆ

Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui location and opening hours

Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui is at 110-2 Euljiro, Jung-gu, Seoul, and it is open daily 11:00–24:00. It was also featured on Tasty Guys episode 577.

Famous as an Euljiro bone grill (pork bone-in meat, grilled and seasoned) hotspot, it's a 1-minute walk from Exit 11 of Euljiro 3-ga Station. I loved that it's right by the station 🫶🏻

Weekend wait at Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui: how long did we wait?

I walked in around 6:30 pm on a Saturday, registered on the spot with Catch Table, and waited about 20 minutes. You can also book through Naver Reservation, apparently ??

Please don't wait outside in the cold, make sure you reserve on Naver before you go 🥺🙏🏻 ‼️

Celebrity autographs on the 2nd-floor stairs and the basic table setting

We were shown to the 2nd floor, and on the way up the stairs I spotted photos and autographs of celebrities everywhere ,,🙊 Turns out it's famous as a Hipjiro bone grill spot and was even on TV in Tasty Guys ෆ

The basic setting is a bottle of water, cabbage salad, white kimchi and kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), and every side was so good it vanished in a blink 🤤 This place is a kimchi place too ,,🧡🧡

How to order at Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui and what we ordered

You order by scanning the QR code on each table!! For the main I got the small Baektan bone grill, and after some agonizing I went with spice level 2, plus rice balls and drinks.

Ta-da ✨✨ Look at that gorgeous bone grill ~~ A spicy red sauce loaded with garlic, plus golden grilled scallions that look flame-charred. Even the small size was generous, so I was super happy ,,🫶🏻🫶🏻

How spicy is level 2 bone grill?

I picked level 2 because it's said to be about Shin Ramyun spicy, but when my friend and I tried it, it was spicier than Shin Ramyun. The sauce is seriously addictive, sweet and spicy 🥹 The kind of tasty heat that keeps you going back.

But wait ,,,,,,,??? My friend and I were both sweating and our noses were running, it was hotter than Shin Ramyun ,, 🥵🥵 If you can't handle spice, order level 1, no question. Consider this a warning ••• And yet it's so good I couldn't stop my hands or my mouth 🤤

Jjabaegi, soju by the glass with ice

One fun thing here is a by-the-glass drink called jjabaegi, and it's soju with ice in it, haha. How neat ,, My friend ordered it and I took a sip, and it really is cold, icy soju 🙊🙊🤍

Grilled scallions and rice balls: how to eat them with the bone grill

The kick of Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui is this scallion!!! The sweet grilled scallions go so well with the spicy bone grill sauce ,, You can order extra grilled scallions too 🤎

Wrap the moist, tender meat from the bone with the grilled scallion and it's honestly heavenly ,, I was amazed at how good it was. The charcoal aroma soaked through, which made it even better ❤️‍🔥

And rice balls are a must with bone grill, right ..?? They tone down the heat of the sauce, and on their own they're nutty and mild, so good!!🧡

Bone grill, rice ball, grilled scallion, bone grill, rice ball… going round like a loop, I just kept eating endlessly ,, Insanely good combo ,, the best 🤤🤤

A glass of lemon draft beer

And I added a cold lemon draft beer too 💛 With food this good, the drinks just slide down. It's fresh and sweet, so tasty even though I'm usually not much of a drinker.

Is Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui worth going back to?

I love bone grill, and Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui was one of the best I've tried ❤️‍🔥 The grilled scallions and rice balls to eat with it, the jjabaegi, the lemon draft beer, everything was so good that I left satisfied.

The food is great and the menu is varied, and the atmosphere is homey and cozy, which makes it even better 🫶🏻🤍 If you're looking for a bone grill spot near Euljiro, good food to drink with, or a date spot, I highly recommend Eulji Baektan Ppyeogui ˚ෆ*₊
