A BBQ place that gives you soy crab as a side is the best… 🖤 ![Side dish spread with lettuce wraps and soy-marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-09-1gisv-900.webp) ## What does the aged grade 1++ hand-cut chadol taste like? We ordered the grade 1++ hand-cut chadol first! It's supposedly aged hanwoo (Korean beef) chadol, and since I'd never had aged brisket before, I was curious how it'd be! ![Plate of raw aged grade 1++ hand-cut chadol (beef brisket)](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-10-127kj-900.webp) They gave us a huge, huge pile of minari to grill alongside it 🖤 ![Plate of minari to grill alongside the chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-11-1it5d-900.webp) ![Chadol and minari on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-12-1ydfk-900.webp) And right onto the grill went the chadol! Since chadol is thin, cook it quickly! ![Quickly-grilled chadol beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-13-nevet-900.webp) Look at how juicy it is… 🖤 The hand-cut chadol here is thicker than at other places, so it had this interesting chew to it! ![Close-up of thick grilled grade 1++ chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-14-oz0ns-900.webp) ## Thick pork belly, grilled for you by the staff Next we ordered the pork belly, and it was completely thick-cut with a great meat-to-fat ratio 🖤 ![Raw thick-cut aged pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-15-14gi4-900.webp) Bongbong grilled it deliciously for us >_< For reference, at Gim Sukseong Seongnae Branch, the staff grill all the meat themselves, so it's a comfortable place to eat even if you're not great at grilling! They said they always grill it at the perfect timing, so if you're looking for a Korean BBQ place near Cheonho Station where the staff grills for you, I'd recommend this one! We told them we'd grill it ourselves since Bongbong loves grilling haha. ![Pork belly grilling on the grill at Gim Sukseong Seongnae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-16-jyj6z-900.webp) The pork belly was so savory and delicious — the second you bite in, the juices burst out, packed with savory flavor 🖤 ![A well-grilled piece of pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-17-1eay4-900.webp) Eating it together with fragrant minari is pure bliss… 🖤 ![Pork belly wrapped with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-18-dxzir-900.webp) Grilling it with kimchi to make kimchi pork belly is also amazing! ![Kimchi pork belly grilled together with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol/kimsuksung-seongnae-yajang-hansoo-chadol-19-i87zg-900.webp) ## Is Gim Sukseong Seongnae Branch worth it for outdoor Korean BBQ near Cheonho Station?
