Knife-scored pork: how was the texture?

The most important thing at any Korean BBQ spot has to be the condition of the meat, right? Even before it hit the grill, the color and thickness looked promising, and once grilled, the juices stayed locked in and that savory meat flavor really came through.

What I personally loved most was the pork. It had score cuts, which made it much easier to eat than a plain thick-cut slice. As it grilled, heat worked its way through the cuts, so the outside turned golden and crisp while the inside stayed moist!

Thanks to the score cuts, each bite felt tender, and it paired even better with the sauces and sides. Anyone who loves pork will really appreciate this detail.

The interior has this vibe — isn't this basically made for a group dinner?

Why Deo Bareun Jeongyuk Sikdang works for a work dinner near Sinnonhyeon Station

The most memorable part: the knife cuts in the pork

If I had to pick the one thing that stuck with me most from this meal, it'd be the score-cut pork. Just grilling plain meat is one thing, but the score cuts alone give it a different look, and once grilled, the surface turned golden and the texture was great.

Meat can dry out quickly if grilled too long, but cooked just right, the juices stayed in and the savory flavor really came through. It was great in a lettuce wrap, and also great with just a light dip in salt — good for enjoying the meat's own flavor.

Personally, I'd recommend eating the first few pieces plain rather than piling on sides right away. That way you really get the true flavor and texture of the meat.

The meat is really the main event. The score cuts are such a game-changer, upgrading the flavor. And with the myeoljeot, it's just the perfect combination.

The meat quality was great, and maybe because it's Gangnam, the whole place felt a bit upscale.
