It's such a full spread, isn't it...!! Wrapping it up in various combos, you'll be full in no time. Can you see the texture of the meat? It's so tender you barely need a knife — just touch it with a fork and it separates right away! I think you could bring kids who eat regular food along and share this without any worries :-) ### 🔥 Brisket Set (₩17,000) ![Layered brisket set](https://img.superchart.com/images/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special-17-7o4yb-966.webp) Out came a thick, layered brisket set! ![Thick brisket cooked medium-rare](https://img.superchart.com/images/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special-18-5uon4-966.webp) Cooked to a perfect medium-rare,,!!! The meat was so thick I compared it — it was about the thickness of a small paper cup, hahahahaha The brisket also needs no knife — you can just pull it apart chunk by chunk with a fork! Whether it's the barbecue skill, it was well cooked all the way through and full of juice,,!!! ![Piece of brisket separated with a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special-19-18sis-966.webp) ### 🔥 Lobster (₩19,800) The lobster arrived!! Scrape it all up -!! The meat is nice and plump, and it also comes with corn cheese and round pasta noodles mixed in, so you get to enjoy a variety of textures!! ![Lobster dish with corn cheese and pasta noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special-20-172bc-966.webp) ![Close-up of plump lobster meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special-21-3chfx-966.webp) ## How to enjoy Modak Texas Barbecue the best way 🔥 How to enjoy the barbecue best 🔥 💡 Wrap it in a tortilla ![Wrapping barbecue in a tortilla](https://img.superchart.com/images/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special-22-1q3go-966.webp) ![Meat piled on a dinner roll burger-style](https://img.superchart.com/images/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special-23-1ks0u-966.webp) 💡 Make it burger-style with the dinner roll -!! After eating two tortillas plus one dinner-roll burger, I was like... haha... this is a problem... I'm so full... hahahahaha ### 🔥 Shrimp Squid-Ink Pasta (₩12,000) ![Steaming shrimp squid-ink cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special/modak-texas-bbq-dongdaegu-lunch-special-24-1lwdu-966.webp) Can you see the steam rising,,!! Out of all the squid-ink pastas I've had, this is the first one this rich and creamy,,!! The richness of the cheese was really on another level! Honestly, at first I wondered if the portions would be enough...? so I even ordered the pasta on top... but that was my mistake.... The two-person lunch special alone was already more than enough — it was massive.. I'd only recommend adding the pasta if you're truly a big eater.... hahahahaha ## Wrap-up: is this a good lunch date spot near Dongdaegu Station?
