Majeon-dong Korean BBQ with cheese horse clam: Euljiro Yeontan Gui

I'm a blogger in my early thirties who records the small joys of everyday delicious dinners and low-key restaurant hunting. :) How did everyone shake off the fatigue of the week with a good meal alongside someone they love, this weekday or weekend evening? At our house, once it gets to leaving-work time or dinner hour, we often find ourselves craving that combo of pork grilled golden-brown with a faint charcoal aroma, paired with cool, fresh seafood.

A little while ago, on another evening, my husband said, "Let's go somewhere tonight where we can grill both meat and seafood on charcoal, and eat really well for a great price!" So off we drove, excited. The place that left us both amazed — with its retro charcoal smokiness, the ultimate combo of meat and seafood on one grate, and the generous portions for the price — was Euljiro Yeontan Gui Majeon Branch, located at 979-5 Majeon-dong, Geomdan-gu, Incheon!

What is the dining room like at Euljiro Yeontan Gui Majeon Branch?

Euljiro Yeontan Gui Majeon Branch sits at 979-5 Majeon-dong, Geomdan-gu, Incheon, and despite being a charcoal-grill spot, it has a powerful ventilation system that keeps the dining room comfortable. Baby chairs are also available, so dining out with a baby in tow wasn't a burden at all.

My husband and I timed our arrival for dinner and stepped inside. Usually, charcoal or charcoal-fire grill restaurants are filled with smoke or have that distinctive stuffy smell, but this place had genuinely excellent ventilation, keeping the whole dining room clean and pleasant. The hall was spacious too, with generous table spacing, so we could enjoy dinner comfortably without feeling cramped.

On one side, there were plenty of baby chairs set up, which made me think this would be a great place to bring kids or family in the future too. The owner and staff greeted us warmly and kindly the moment we walked in, which warmed my heart even before the meal started.

Honest taste notes: pork platter, grilled scallops, cheese horse clam

As soon as we ordered, a well-heated charcoal grate arrived, followed by a full spread of our pork platter and seafood!

1. Pork platter, 35,900 won

A generous pork platter loaded with pork belly, pork neck, pork jowl, skirt meat, and even savory pork skin. The quality and thickness of the bright pink meat was unbelievable for ₩35,900. As soon as the meat hit the charcoal grate, that savory meaty aroma mixed with the distinctive charcoal smoke hit our noses.

We tried a well-grilled piece of pork belly and jowl, and the juices bursting out with each bite along with the chewy texture were amazing. From the tender pork neck to the lean skirt meat, and finally the crispy-grilled skin, each cut had its own distinct flavor, so we never got bored.

2. Grilled scallops, 12,900 won

While grilling the meat, they also put fresh scallops on one side of the grate to cook together. As the scallops sizzled away on the charcoal, there wasn't a hint of fishiness, and the meat was so plump and sweet! Taking a bite of meat followed by a bite of sweet, savory scallop created a perfect balance of savory-sweet flavors.

3. Cheese horse clam grill, 9,400 won

This is a must-order if you come here! Large chunks of horse clam scallop meat arrived topped with shrimp, mushrooms, onions, spicy peppers, and a waterfall of savory cheese. As the cheese melted down over the charcoal fire, the scallop, shrimp, and vegetables blended perfectly with the spicy, savory sauce.

This is seriously the best drinking snack and a real delicacy.

My husband gave it this glowing praise.
