But around noon, locals and travelers like me started pouring in and it got busy fast! The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, so it looked like a great spot for couples, families — pretty much anyone👍 ![Spacious, comfortable dining hall of the dakgalbi restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-02-1rw7s-900.webp) ![Interior view with neatly arranged tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-03-wq025-900.webp) ![Restaurant interior with window seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-04-10g97-900.webp) ![Quiet seating area during early lunch hour](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-05-uga4b-900.webp) They also have plenty of baby chairs ready, so it's totally fine to bring young kids😍 ![Baby chair prepared at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-06-184eh-900.webp) You can also try Gapyeong soju and Gapyeong pine nut makgeolli here. Plus regular soju, beer, soft drinks and more were all well stocked🤗 ![Display of Gapyeong soju and Gapyeong pine nut makgeolli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-07-1mo18-900.webp) ## Ordering: half soy sauce, half seasoned dakgalbi, plus cold makguksu After grabbing a table, I checked out the menu first. Each table has a tablet, and there's also a big menu board on the wall. ![Dakgalbi menu board on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-08-6i53y-900.webp) You can get dakgalbi (stir-fried marinated chicken) split half soy sauce, half seasoned, so we ordered one serving of seasoned dakgalbi and one of soy sauce dakgalbi. We also added a cold makguksu😆 There was a Naver review event running too. And they had tips posted on how to eat it for the best flavor, which was a nice touch. ## Banchan spread on the level of a full Korean set-meal restaurant A little while later, the side dishes were set out first🤤 ![Full spread of banchan set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-09-1gi2t-900.webp) This place is seriously a banchan powerhouse!! Chives, deodeok (bellflower root), fish cake, perilla leaves, acorn jelly, eggplant... so many varieties, and every single one was so good I could've finished a whole bowl of rice on these side dishes alone haha. It's basically hanjeongsik (traditional Korean set-meal) or baekban (home-style set meal) restaurant level. ![Plate of chive salad side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-10-5wwj0-900.webp) ![Plate of deodeok muchim side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-11-1q7mc-900.webp) ![Plate of stir-fried fish cake side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-12-bz756-900.webp) ![Plate of pickled perilla leaves side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-13-okath-900.webp) ![Plate of acorn jelly side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-14-p09qb-900.webp) ![Plate of seasoned eggplant side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-15-oiby5-900.webp) ![Table covered with an assortment of side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-16-5jqrp-900.webp) ![Table setting with wrap vegetables and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-17-yn096-900.webp) The deodeok muchim (seasoned bellflower root salad) was especially delicious, and seeing the raw, unprepared deodeok sitting on one side of the restaurant made me realize they really use quality ingredients! ![Raw, unprepared deodeok displayed on one side of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-18-14olb-900.webp) ## Charcoal-grilled dakgalbi and garaetteok (rice cake) Soon after, the charcoal came out for grilling the dakgalbi. The charcoal looked really good too, and I got excited imagining how delicious the chicken would turn out cooked on it🥰 ![Charcoal grill brought to the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-19-9ylfv-900.webp) We started grilling the dakgalbi and rice cakes together. It comes pre-cooked once, so it cooks up quickly! ![Dakgalbi and rice cake cooking over the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-20-1q660-1200.webp) They cut up the meat for us and kept flipping it so it wouldn't burn. The delicious smell kept wafting up, making it harder and harder to resist haha. I quickly grabbed the rice cake pieces that finished grilling first. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside garaetteok — impossible to resist >.< ![Grilled garaetteok rice cake over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-21-l6xuo-900.webp) ## How much noodles does the makguksu come with? The makguksu we'd ordered together arrived just as the meat finished cooking, so we could enjoy them side by side. ![A generously portioned bowl of cold makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-22-1l2y6-900.webp) The noodles were packed so generously in the bowl it was plenty for two people to share. And the broth was so refreshing and delicious — this was a dish I would've regretted not ordering💕 ## Soy sauce vs. seasoned dakgalbi: the flavor difference Once the dakgalbi was fully cooked, we dug in properly alongside the makguksu! First, the soy sauce dakgalbi — that sweet-salty soy marinade was exactly my taste haha. Wrapped up with deodeok muchim and chive salad, it was pure happiness😘 ![Fully cooked soy sauce dakgalbi with wrap vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-23-wo4f3-900.webp) The seasoned dakgalbi wasn't too spicy either, just mildly spicy, so even someone like me who can't handle spice found it just right. Wrapped in the pickled perilla leaves, I couldn't stop eating it, it never got old haha. ![Seasoned dakgalbi wrapped in pickled perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan-24-nzs9q-900.webp) ## Final thoughts Using domestic chicken and domestic charcoal really seems to make a difference — this was a flavor pretty much anyone would love. The dakgalbi itself was great, but with the makguksu and banchan being this on point too, it genuinely felt like finding a real hidden gem! My parents and my niece would probably love it too, so next time I want to come back with the whole family. There's a lot to see nearby too, so I'd highly recommend this as a place to eat if you're near Gapyeong IC, Seorak IC, The Stay Healing Park, Begonia Saejeongwon, or Mysterious Animal Zoo 🫶 ## Where it is - Dami Seorak Charcoal-grilled Dakgalbi (다미설악숯불닭갈비) - 150 Hanseo-ro, Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 가평군 설악면 한서로 150 다미숯불닭갈비 - 37.6699495, 127.506925 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%A4%EB%AF%B8%EC%84%A4%EC%95%85%EC%88%AF%EB%B6%88%EB%8B%AD%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84/@37.6699495,127.506925,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@ceramic-ladle-2/gapyeong-seorak-charcoal-dakgalbi-banchan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
