Euljiro 3-ga steak restaurant: solo diet meal with double meat, Hurato

I found a great steak spot for eating alone in Euljiro! At Hurato Sikdang Euljiro (후라토식당 을지로점) I had the steak set with extra meat for a double portion, and the beef was so tender and tasty that I was really satisfied. You can grill the meat comfortably by yourself, so it was perfect for a hearty solo meal ><

Where is Hurato Sikdang Euljiro?

Hurato Sikdang Euljiro is a 5-minute walk from Euljiro Station, in the basement level of Tower 107 Building.

It's on basement level 1 of Tower 107 Building.

Is it comfortable to go alone?

I liked that the restaurant is quite spacious! Coming in to eat alone doesn't feel awkward at all.

It seems like a space that would work fine for friends or a bigger group, too.

When you eat alone you sometimes end up worrying about the people around you, but here I could relax and focus on my meal, which I loved.

The mood is like a local restaurant in Japan, a relaxed place that suits lunch or dinner. The menu is varied too, from gyukatsu (breaded beef cutlet) to omurice (omelet rice) and Japanese curry, so you can pick what you like. That day I wanted meat so badly that I went for the steak set, haha

Steak set with double meat: price and what you get

The steak set (스테키정식) at Hurato Sikdang starts at ₩19,500, and this day I added extra meat to make it a double.

What I ordered was the steak set! Even on a diet, you can't give up meat, right? LOL My ambitious plan was to eat just a little rice and a lot of meat.

The meat comes cut into easy bite-size pieces. What I liked most is that you grill it yourself on a personal grill!

The meat doesn't arrive fully cooked; you grill it to your own taste, so you can get exactly the doneness you want.

Grilled on a personal grill: is the meat tender?

I put the meat on the grill, seared it lightly and tried a piece, and wow... it was much more tender than I expected.

Steak can sometimes be so tough that your jaw aches from chewing, but the meat at Hurato Sikdang was tender and easy to eat.

Another big plus of grilling it yourself is that you eat it piping hot. Meat is best straight off the heat, right? haha

Cooking each piece briefly on the grill meant I had warm meat all through the meal.

Because I didn't overcook it, the juiciness and rich, savory flavor really came through. Eat a piece, grill another, eat, grill again... even alone it was surprisingly fun LOL

The best way to eat the steak set

Putting a piece of meat on white rice and adding the sauce is a really good combination. Steak with white rice is the truth!

The savory meat plus the umami of the sauce, held up by plain white rice, made every bite satisfying. The meat alone is tasty, but with rice it has a different charm.

You can also add wasabi or the side sauce to taste. Dip a piece of meat lightly in sauce and eat it with rice, and the flavors blend nicely in your mouth. I liked that meat and rice alone make a tasty meal, with no need for other side dishes.

How big is the portion with extra meat?

With extra meat added, the steak set was really generous for one person. And I did add the meat that day, right? LOL At first I thought I could finish it all, but once I started eating it was quite a lot. Still, the meat was tender and delicious, so I worked through it eagerly.

Since I'm on a diet, I tried to eat as little rice as possible and focus on the meat. As planned, I ate just a little rice and went all in on the meat LOL I like meat anyway, but eating it freshly grilled and warm made it taste even better. Even with little rice, the generous meat gave me plenty of the feeling of having had a proper meal.

The fun of grilling it myself on a personal grill, the tender meat, the combination of rice and sauce! Even though I came alone, it felt like a proper steak feast. If you love meat, I recommend adding extra and eating generously haha

Adding meat made me so happy, it was truly tender and delicious.

Hurato Sikdang Euljiro is a place where you can enjoy steak comfortably on your own! The meat was tender and grilling it yourself was fun, so I was satisfied. It's great for solo dining, and I want to go back!
