Gajeong-dong BBQ: 600g pork with cold noodles at Euljiro Yeontan Gui

I was trying to figure out what to have for dinner, and honestly nothing beats meat! So this time I went to Euljiro Yeontan Gui Luone City Branch, in the Luone City food alley in Gajeong-dong. They have a wide variety of meat menus plus seafood, so it's great for mixing and matching depending on what you're in the mood for. If you're looking for a meat restaurant in Gajeong-dong, hope this post helps~!

Inside Euljiro Yeontan Gui: the menu, from pork cuts to seafood

Euljiro Yeontan Gui isn't just about meat menus! They also have seafood options, so I liked that you could pick and choose from a bunch of different menus🐚

Inside, every round table had a charcoal brazier set up! Since I visited on a weekend evening, by the time we sat down and started eating, the place was already nearly full!

Among the meat menus, there was a set that lets you try several cuts at once — a total of 600g for 38,000 won! I thought that was an amazing value👀 And if you want more meat while eating, you can add 100g at a time, though note that your first order has to be at least 300g✔️

They also had a variety of seafood menus, which would be great to pair alongside the meat😋 I love seafood too, so I'm planning to try it next time I visit👍

What two adults ordered in Gajeong-dong, and what it cost

• Pork platter (600g) 38,000
• Mul naengmyeon 4,900
• Samsuni bibimbap 4,900
• Doenjang jjigae 2,500
• Soda 2,000 x 2

When you order, they set out basic banchan (side dishes) for you! If you need extra side dishes, you just help yourself at the self-serve bar.

The 600g pork platter: which six cuts and how much meat

Pork belly, pork neck, pork jowl, dwitgogi, skirt meat, pork skin — all of that for 38,000 won..! Even with two adults eating, the portion was so generous we didn't need to order any extra meat🤤 Getting to try every cut, and getting so much of it, was great.

I was debating between plain rice and bibimbap and went with the bibimbap! We ordered one and split it between the two of us, and it still wasn't lacking at all, so it paired nicely with the meat.

Grilling over charcoal: how hot is the fire at Euljiro Yeontan Gui?

Now for the actual grilling! The charcoal heat was way stronger than I expected; if you left meat in the center of the plate it cooked fast — fast enough to burn — so we had to keep flipping it🥲 The grilling kept us a bit busy, but the upside was that the meat cooked really quickly!

The meat wasn't tough at all — chewy in a good way and easy to eat, so tasty that we just kept eating without thinking... And since it was hot that day, we both got thirsty and ordered mul naengmyeon!

Tasting the clean broth, it felt like it cut through the richness of the meat! But personally, I wish it had been a bit colder🤤

In between, we also had some spicy doenjang jjigae — the best when eaten with rice👍

On the second plate, they grilled up some pork skin too!

Dipping the golden-brown grilled pork skin into the soybean powder was the perfect combo!! But it also had seasoning of its own, so it was tasty even without dipping😋

Verdict: is Euljiro Yeontan Gui a good-value dinner in Gajeong-dong?

Since it's grilled over charcoal, heat control was a little tricky, but we could adjust the flame using the charcoal vent under the table🔥 Thanks to the strong charcoal heat cooking the meat fast, it stayed juicy and full of flavor! The generous portions and reasonable price were both great😋 They also have seasonal menus like grilled oysters and grilled king prawns, so it seems like a good place to visit throughout the year for different specials! Next time I'd like to come back and try the seafood menu too👀
