The writer came with friends for Kim Chajang's Meat Explosion set, letting the staff grill the pork belly, pork neck, kkodeulsal (chewy pork cut) and pork skin. It suited a large late-night group dinner or a second-round gathering, with the kitchen open until 00:30 Monday to Saturday. ## Good to know - **Location**: 20 Gangnam-daero 98-gil, ground floor, Gangnam-gu, Seoul — 340m from Gangnam Station Exit 11 - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 11:30–00:30 (next day), Sun 11:30–23:00 - **Ordered**: Kim Chajang's Meat Explosion Set - **Side dishes**: 10 kinds *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ## Is Kkondae Kim Bujang good for a Gangnam Station group dinner? A lot of people these days are agonizing over where to hold a group dinner or gathering — I was one of them recently, searching forever to find a spot for a friends' meetup. That's how I ended up at Kkondae Kim Bujang Gogi-jip Gangnam Station Branch, which turned out to be a perfect Korean BBQ spot for a Gangnam Station group dinner. Here's my honest review. It's only 340m from Gangnam Station Exit 11, so walking there wasn't a hassle at all, and since it's open until 12:30am the next day on weekdays and Saturdays, it worked out great as a second-round drinking spot too. ![Directions to the Gangnam Station Korean BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-01-1xoc3-m-900.webp) ![Directions to the Gangnam Station Korean BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-02-16smu-m-900.webp) ## Inside the wide hall and well-spaced tables I came with friends, and the first thing that hit me was how spacious and clean the place was. What I appreciated most was the generous spacing between tables — we could talk freely without worrying about the table next to us. The hall felt big enough to easily handle a large group dinner or gathering. There are so many Korean BBQ spots near Gangnam Station, and I always end up at a cramped, noisy one. It had been a while since I'd seen this much space between tables. At a group dinner, voices tend to get loud, and not having to worry about the neighboring table turned out to be a bigger perk than I expected. The interior was well-kept too, so sitting for a long time never felt uncomfortable. ![Spacious, clean interior of the Korean BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-03-ngjy5-555.webp) ## What comes with Kim Chajang's Meat Explosion set True to the restaurant's concept, even the menu names were fun. We ordered Kim Chajang's Meat Explosion Set off the menu. The name alone made the choice easy, and a staff member grilled it right at our table, so we could focus purely on eating. Not having to worry about who's manning the grill during a group dinner turned out to be a subtly big plus. ![Table spread of Kim Chajang's Meat Explosion Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-04-15g38-900.webp) The basic side dishes came in a 10-item spread, which surprised all my friends. Everything was tasty and paired well with the meat. ![Ten basic side dishes served with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-05-e509o-900.webp) These mushrooms were soft and chewy and delicious too. The texture was so chewy that at first bite I thought, wait, is this abalone? ![Chewy mushroom side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-06-cbh4g-900.webp) The drinks were neatly arranged, and each order came out ice-cold. ![Neatly arranged drinks in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-07-2na4a-1200.webp) ![Ice-cold drinks served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-08-svtda-900.webp) ## How the staff-grilled pork belly, pork neck and kkodeulsal tasted The staff were so skilled at grilling that we could focus on conversation without any worry. The pork belly had good thickness, giving it a satisfying bite, and the fatty parts had great flavor. The pork neck was relatively lean, so it was nice to alternate between the two. ![Staff grilling pork belly and pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-09-tupg0-900.webp) Personally, the kkodeulsal (chewy pork muscle meat) was my favorite — I'd especially recommend it to anyone who loves a chewy texture. ![Chewy kkodeulsal texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-10-p1mwe-900.webp) ![Kkodeulsal portion of the meat set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-11-14rje-900.webp) The pork skin was trimmed and prepared so well that even after filling up on meat, we could still enjoy it as a light finisher. ![Softly trimmed finishing pork skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-12-jp5jl-900.webp) ![Enjoying pork skin after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork-13-6obd7-900.webp) ## Late-night dinners and second rounds near Gangnam Station Spacious, comfortable atmosphere, the ease of having someone grill for you, and solid satisfaction across every cut — this is a place I'd recommend without hesitation if you're deciding on a group dinner spot near Gangnam Station. It stays open late, so it's great for continuing into a second round of drinks, and the roomy seating is a big plus for larger groups too. ## Where it is - Kkondae Kim Bujang Gogi-jip Gangnam Station Branch (꼰대김부장고깃집 강남역점) - 20 Gangnam-daero 98-gil, ground floor, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 강남대로98길 20 지상1층 - 37.5008056, 127.0281846 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%BC%B0%EB%8C%80%EA%B9%80%EB%B6%80%EC%9E%A5%EA%B3%A0%EA%B9%83%EC%A7%91%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.5008056,127.0281846,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@early-supper-seoul-2/gangnam-staff-grilled-pork/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
