The writer went for a team dinner and ate basic grilled cuts such as pork belly and pork neck, which staff grilled at the table, then finished with doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) and naengmyeon (cold noodles). For a large group dinner, Kkondae Kim Bujang was solid all round on food, atmosphere, service and access. ## Good to know - **Location**: 20 Gangnam-daero 98-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (ground floor), walking distance from Gangnam Station - **Main menu**: Pork belly, pork neck and other basic grilled cuts - **Meal menu**: Doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), naengmyeon (cold noodles) - **Service**: Staff grill the meat for you; banchan (side dish) refills - **Seating**: Tables that seat several people together, with generous space between tables *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* While racking my brain over where to hold a team dinner, I went looking for a decent BBQ place near Gangnam Station and ended up at a spot whose name alone grabbed me: Kkondae Kim Bujang Gogi-jip Gangnam Station Branch. "Kkondae" (an old-fashioned, bossy know-it-all) in the name might sound a bit corny or blunt at first, but that's exactly what made it memorable — and after actually going, I left more satisfied than the name suggested. ![Exterior of Kkondae Kim Bujang Gogi-jip Gangnam Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-01-wwuz8-1200.webp) ![Entrance sign of the Gangnam Station BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-02-vb6wd-966.webp) ![Retro-style exterior of the BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-03-1d4pp-966.webp) ![Witty phrase posted at the store entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-04-1q5xd-966.webp) ![Full view of the Gangnam Station BBQ restaurant entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-05-4fx9y-966.webp) ## How far is Kkondae Kim Bujang from Gangnam Station, and what is the retro interior like?

The meat itself was quite good, and having staff grill it for us meant we didn't have to worry about timing and could just focus on the conversation. Who's going to man the grill is always a low-key stressor at team dinners, and having that handled made the whole table more relaxed. The banchan (side dishes) came out in good variety too — nothing too strong-flavored, but each one tasty enough to pair well between bites of meat. To wrap up the meal, doenjang jjigae or naengmyeon made for a satisfying finish, whether the table was drinking or just eating. ![Pork belly grilling on the tabletop grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-10-1jbje-966.webp) ![Assorted side dishes served alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-11-vl0bp-966.webp) ## Does the service hold up when a big team books in? The staff's attentiveness stood out too. Despite the "kkondae" concept in the name, the actual service was kind and thoughtful. The timing of grilling the meat and refilling side dishes was spot-on, giving the whole meal a well-looked-after feel. Service can easily slip when a group is large, but here I got the sense they stayed attentive right to the end. ![A piece of meat grilled by the staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-12-1pge1-966.webp) ![Table set for the group BBQ dinner](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-13-o22gu-966.webp) ![Table setting with the closing meal menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-14-12h6q-966.webp) ![Table near the end of the team dinner](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant-15-1h0h2-966.webp) ## What does it cost per person when you settle the team dinner bill? Given the Gangnam Station location, prices weren't dirt cheap, but they weren't burdensome either. Weighing the meat quality, atmosphere, and service together, it felt like a reasonable price point. Value for money matters a lot when you're the one settling the team dinner tab, and I had no real complaints on that front. ## Is Kkondae Kim Bujang worth booking for a Gangnam team dinner? On the whole, this place really delivers on its purpose as a "team dinner spot." Taste, atmosphere, service, and access were all satisfying without any glaring weak point. If you're looking for a spot near Gangnam Station for a sizable group, I'd recommend giving it a try — if nothing else, for the sheer impact of the name. I'd happily go back for the next team dinner, and I don't think there are many places this dependable for keeping a team's mood relaxed. Looking back, I think this visit felt especially easy not just because of the food or service. Organizing a team dinner is quietly stressful for whoever plans it, and everything here — from picking the venue to the reservation to seating — went smoothly without much fuss. When a group is large, cramped seating or awkward layouts are common problems, but the generous table spacing and seat arrangement here made moving around or switching seats no trouble at all. ## Where it is - Kkondae Kim Bujang Gogi-jip Gangnam Station Branch (꼰대김부장고깃집 강남역점) - 20 Gangnam-daero 98-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (ground floor) - 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/@euljiro-quiet-menu-2/gangnam-team-dinner-retro-pork-restaurant/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
