Side dishes and the personal sauce setup

My sibling's treating us to beef with their severance pay! I'm washing my hands with excitement, waiting.

As expected from a nicely atmospheric BBQ place near Maebong Station, the side dishes came out clean and neat :) A great atmosphere for treating someone. On the personal side: salt, wasabi, and shiitake mushroom sauce (this one's a hidden gem, genuinely delicious!), plus a variety of side dishes — the pickled pepper strips were especially good.

Finally, the long-awaited signature menu of this Yangjae Stream beef BBQ spot: the assorted platter!

The color of the meat alone is insane at this Maebong Station beef spot~ The cuts include chamjin-sal, angeomi-sal, gadak-galbi plus grilled vegetables and a pile of green onions — such a solid spread.

It was great being able to try all of Woosang Hwarogui's signature cuts at once, and it looked gorgeous too — perfect for a date, family gathering, or work dinner near Maebong Station, right? Everyone was busy taking photos saying how pretty and delicious it looked lol.

I wondered what the 'pile of green onions' would be — turns out it's literally a pile of green onions...! Dip it well in soy sauce and eat it with the fatty beef — the combination is an art :)

They told us to eat chamjin-sal, then angeomi-sal, then gadak-galbi — good charcoal plus good-quality beef equals impossibly delicious. Plus the clean, varied side dishes kept things from getting repetitive!!!!! Endless beef going in... I love it.

The grilled vegetables were also a great side treat, and the wine went down so smoothly~~

I love galbi the most. The beef quality is so good that even without sauce, the savory galbi flavor was outstanding...

Egg yolk soy sauce rice, Hamhung cold noodles and doenjang stew
