Korean BBQ near Yongin Jungang Market: four-cut pork platter, Sikkkeop

Sikkkeop Yongin Gimnyangjang-jeom is a Korean BBQ restaurant near Yongin Jungang Market in Yongin, Gyeonggi, serving a raw meat platter of four cuts with charcoal-grilled marinated galbi. The order covered pork belly, kkodeul mokssal (chewy neck), chimasal (skirt), and deungsimdeossal (loin cap), plus the complimentary cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew) and Busan milmyeon (wheat noodles) in both broth and spicy mixed styles. Each cut had its own texture so nothing felt repetitive, and the noodle and stew options made Sikkkeop worth a return visit.

Japanese restaurant in downtown Cheongju, 30-minute wait: Momo Lab

Momo Lab is a Japanese restaurant on Seongan-gil in downtown Cheongju, where steak-don and gyukatsu are grilled over a small brazier right at the table. On this repeat visit the writer entered a phone number into the waiting machine out front, waited just over 30 minutes, then ordered steak-don and gyukatsu — mixing the steak into black rice and eating the gyukatsu with sauce, salt and wasabi in turn. Momo Lab ends the meal with rice cake grilled at the table and dipped in honey, which made the wait worth it.
