Right after ordering, they brought out nachos and a tomato stew(?) first. ![Nachos and tomato soup served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-06-qh5uh-900.webp) ![Close-up of the tomato soup served with nachos](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-07-pvh0b-900.webp) They told us the soup is simmered in-house for hours, and it had a punchy flavor that paired really well with the nachos. We scraped the bowl clean before the mains even arrived haha. ![The Memphis Platter Set for two laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-08-10uak-1200.webp) ## What comes on the Texas Platter: brisket, spare ribs and pulled pork The Texas Platter comes with 250g of spare ribs, 150g of brisket, 150g of pulled pork, 3 buffalo wings, and sides (morning bread rolls, tortillas, fries, salad). ![Texas Platter with spare ribs, brisket, and pulled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-09-1j2b9-900.webp) The barbecue looked absolutely incredible! As the staff member set it down, they explained each cut one by one. ![The brisket (chadol yangji) cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-10-k8fs8-900.webp) Brisket (chadol yangji, flat cut) ![The spare ribs (pork king ribs) cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-11-1rwwn-899.webp) Spare ribs (dwaeji wang-galbi, pork king ribs) ![The pulled pork (grilled pork neck) cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-12-1x6j1-900.webp) Pulled pork (dwaeji mokssal-gui, grilled pork neck) — after explaining each dish, the staff carved everything up to make it easy to eat. They served us the brisket first, then moved on to carving the rest of the meats. ![The barbecue platter after staff finished carving](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-13-1mbn2-900.webp) Carving done — ☆ ![Meat arranged neatly after carving](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-14-1g4re-900.webp) ## How the barbecue tasted: tender meat wrapped in tortillas The brisket they served first was really tender, and the recommended sauce paired with it perfectly! ![A piece of brisket topped with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-15-18i95-900.webp) ![Barbecue meat piled onto a tortilla](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-16-13g0d-900.webp) The spare ribs and pulled pork were incredibly tender — tender enough that a fork could pull them apart along the grain. The smoky barbecue aroma combined with the juices made it genuinely delicious! It was fun loading it all into a tortilla or a bread roll with plenty of sauce. The meat was so soft that anyone could enjoy it. ![Buffalo wings served as a side](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-17-1554m-900.webp) ![Side of fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-18-nen6b-900.webp) ![Table set with bread rolls and sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-19-16q89-900.webp) And the sides — buffalo wings and fries! Not a single element fell short; the quality across the board was great. ![The platter near the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner/dongdaegu-station-texas-bbq-brisket-dinner-20-19uf3-m-837.webp) ## Why I would go back to Modak: the steak and the fire show It's not in my photos, but at tables that ordered the steak at Modak Texas Barbecue Dongdaegu Branch, there was a flashy fire show going on.
