1st-floor seats, bean sprout pickle and grilled potato: Ijjok
Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal is a kimchi pork belly restaurant in a Hapjeong alley in Mapo, Seoul, with separate entrances for its first-floor and basement seating. The writer sat at a first-floor table, ordered the 2-3 person set (₩55,000) with a Kelly beer, and staff grilled the pork and kimchi from start to finish. With bean sprout pickle, scallion salad, fresh wasabi, and a grilled potato finish, it's a great spot when you want to sit back and not lift a finger.
