New York street food in DMC, Seoul: steak and fries at Zilhal Bros
In short
Zilhal Bros Sangam is a New York street food restaurant that has just opened in the Digital Media City (DMC) office district of Mapo, Seoul. Visiting in the first week, with congratulatory flower wreaths still at the door, the writer ordered Combo Rice (chicken & lamb) at 12,900 won, Steak & Fries and a Dr Pepper Zero from the kiosk. Zilhal Bros Sangam is mostly two-seater tables, so it works for solo diners and office lunches, and the white sauce and hot sauce combination tasted exotic while still suiting Korean palates.

Hello! Here's my review after visiting Zilhal Bros Sangam (질할브로스 상암점), a new New York street food restaurant that just opened near Digital Media City (DMC).
I usually like halal food and street-style rice bowls, so from the vibe of the place to the menu lineup and the taste, this was a satisfying meal all around.

The storefront and interior in opening week
Sitting among the office buildings near Digital Media City Station, Zilhal Bros Sangam gives off a bold, hip New York street vibe from the entrance onward.
The storefront catches the eye with a vivid red frame, striped awning, and a big illuminated logo sign. Since it had only just opened, congratulatory wreaths and potted plants were greeting guests at the door, and I liked that a banner laid out the main menu items and prices at a glance.
Main menu price range: Chicken Over Rice (₩11,800), Lamb Over Rice (₩12,900), Combo Rice (₩12,900), kebab burritos and more — all reasonably priced.
Stepping inside, a yellow accent wall paired with black-and-white checkerboard floor tiles creates an even more stylish, cozy atmosphere.
Seating for solo diners and office lunch crowds
Seating: mostly two-seater tables, neatly arranged — easy for eating alone, and it also looked like a great lunch spot for office workers.
Ordering and bussing: the kiosk, PICK UP counter, and RETURN HERE bussing station are all clearly separated on one side of the store, which made the overall flow clean and convenient. The kitchen area was kept clean too, which was reassuring.
How do the Combo Rice and Steak & Fries taste?
What I ordered that day is Zilhal Bros' best-selling, most popular combo.
Combo Rice (chicken & lamb over rice)
This is the signature dish you have to try at Zilhal Bros — Combo Rice. Mild, savory chicken and saltily seasoned lamb come piled generously together in one bowl.
On top of the rice, golden pan-seared meats are joined by crisp lettuce, fresh tomato slices, jalapeños, and two pieces of warm pita bread. The signature white sauce and hot sauce are drizzled over it like a spiderweb — the creamy, savory white sauce and the kick of the hot sauce strike an ideal balance. The meat has no gamey smell and keeps a satisfying chew; wrapping the meat, vegetables and sauce in the pita bread turns it into something like a sandwich, a fun change of pace.
Steak & Fries
Steak & Fries works well as both a side and a main.
Crispy fries are piled high with cubed steak stir-fried in a sweet-salty sauce. White sauce and a teriyaki-style smoky signature sauce are drizzled generously on top, making it visually striking. The crunch of the fries and the juiciness of the steak combine into a heavy, addictive flavor. The salty, savory taste keeps you reaching for more, one bite at a time.
Dr Pepper Zero
This was the perfect drink pairing for the rich, hearty street food. Poured over ice in the dedicated stainless cup, it cut through the greasiness of the fries and meat cleanly, rounding out the meal.
The verdict on Zilhal Bros Sangam
- Location: highly accessible, right in the heart of Sangam-dong's DMC media city district
- Vibe: hip, comfortable New York-style interior, optimized for solo dining and lunch
- Taste & portion: exotic sauce combos tuned to Korean tastes, generous portions
If you're in Sangam-dong looking for something different and exotic, or a hearty, delicious street food meal, I recommend Zilhal Bros Sangam. It's a solid choice for office lunches and just as good for dinner.
