The 1kg beef platter (88,000 won) pairs kkotsaeu-sal (chuck flap), salchi-sal (chuck flap tail) and jebichuri (rectus abdominis), grilled one cut at a time and finished with doenjang sulbap (soybean paste rice). Even at 6pm on a weekday the reserved tables were full and a line had formed by the time we left, so booking ahead for dinner is the safe move. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 15:00–24:00 - **Parking**: Basement parking at the restaurant; if full, the Yeongtong District Office lot is a 3-minute walk - **What we ordered**: Beef platter 1kg, 88,000 won (kkotsaeu-sal + salchi-sal + jebichuri) - **Rice dish**: Doenjang sulbap (soybean paste rice) - **Time of visit**: 6pm on a weekday (a wait had formed by the time we left) - **Price reference**: ₩88,000 ≈ $63.5 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Main image of Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-01-1p7z4-900.webp) I heard a beef restaurant had opened in the central shopping strip near Yeongtong District Office in Maetan-dong, so I went to check it out. I'd been to Sogogi Twist's Ingye-dong location before, but this time a new branch opened right near my place by Yeongtong District Office, so I gave it a try. This is Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch, a beef restaurant near Yeongtong District Office. ![Exterior of Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch in the central shopping strip near Yeongtong District Office](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-02-1q4nu-900.webp) ## Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch: hours and parking Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch is open daily from 15:00 to 24:00. You can use the restaurant's basement parking, and if it's full, there's a parking lot at Yeongtong District Office just a 3-minute walk away. ![Entrance of Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-03-zbsz8-900.webp) Part of why Sogogi Twist has built such a good reputation is that you can get quality beef at a relatively reasonable price. With this Yeongtong branch joining the Ingye-dong one, it's now a lot easier to get good beef near Maetan-dong. ![Interior of Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch with generous table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-04-1r6tl-900.webp) ## Why 6pm on a weekday already means reserved tables only Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch has plenty of tables with generous spacing, so there was no trouble at all eating comfortably. ![The dining hall on a weekday evening with many tables reserved](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-05-whtqa-900.webp) I visited on a weekday at 6pm, and walking in, a lot of tables were already reserved. By the time we finished eating and left, there wasn't an empty seat left, and a wait had actually formed — that's how much of a go-to beef spot this is near Yeongtong District Office. ## Sogogi Twist menu and the side dishes that come with it ![Sogogi Twist menu board listing platters, à la carte cuts, and meal dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-06-naxra-804.webp) They had everything from platters where you can try multiple cuts together, to à la carte options if you want to order just one specific cut, to full meal dishes. ![Basic side dishes that go well with grilled meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-07-1ku9e-900.webp) The basic side dishes were also put together nicely, the kind that go well alongside grilled meat. ![Side dishes including kkakdugi, myeongi-namul, and pa-jeori](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-08-4gpgr-900.webp) Kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), myeongi-namul (wild garlic leaves), pa-jeori (scallion salad), kimchi, and sauces all came out, which felt satisfying. ## What's in the 1kg beef platter for 88,000 won We ordered the beef platter for ₩88,000 (kkotsaeu-sal + salchi-sal + jebichuri). We went with the platter so we could try three cuts at once! With kkotsaeu-sal, salchi-sal, and jebichuri all together, it was a lot more fun comparing the cuts than just sticking to one. ![Beef platter 1kg with kkotsaeu-sal, salchi-sal, and jebichuri](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-09-1a7sf-1200.webp) The beef platter is 1kg for ₩88,000 — solid value for how filling it is. ![A plate of raw beef next to the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-10-idv5t-900.webp) ### Grilling the jebichuri (rectus abdominis) first We started with jebichuri first! Rather than throwing everything on the grill at once, we grilled and tasted each cut one at a time. ![Jebichuri grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-11-1y4z0-900.webp) We had a friend at our table who was really good at grilling, so I basically got to sit back and eat without lifting a finger. ![A tableside view of the meat being grilled](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-12-bef48-900.webp) Beef really does taste best when someone's grilling it for you. ![A perfectly cooked piece of jebichuri](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-13-1kt6d-900.webp) At first we just tried the meat plain, and it was cooked well, nicely clean and light in flavor. ![Grilled beef dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-14-jh52s-900.webp) It's great dipped in salt, and it also goes well with pa-jeori — really, beef pairs with just about anything. ![Beef paired with pa-jeori scallion salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-15-id6w0-900.webp) ### Kkotsaeu-sal and salchi-sal on the grill After working through most of the jebichuri, it was time for salchi-sal and kkotsaeu-sal. ![Kkotsaeu-sal before going on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-16-1rqdp-900.webp) Kkotsaeu-sal went on the grill first — doesn't it look fresh just from looking at it? ![Salchi-sal grilling alongside on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-17-1ck7s-900.webp) Salchi-sal got grilled alongside it too. ![Kkotsaeu-sal grilled to perfection](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-18-17zkb-900.webp) The kkotsaeu-sal was grilled to just the right point and eaten one piece at a time. Tender texture, plenty of juice, nutty flavor — I couldn't stop eating it. ![The final piece of grilled salchi-sal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-19-1gzuz-900.webp) And finally, salchi-sal too~ Trying all three cuts, I think the platter really is the way to go if you want to enjoy a variety of cuts rather than sticking with just one. ![The grill and table after finishing the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-20-10f3q-900.webp) ## Ending the meal with doenjang sulbap Doenjang sulbap (soybean paste rice). After eating our fill of meat, we ordered doenjang sulbap as our meal dish. ![Doenjang sulbap ordered as the meal dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-21-15wah-900.webp) Usually after BBQ I order doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew) with a bowl of rice on the side, but doenjang sulbap felt like a completely different thing. ![A bowl of doenjang sulbap packed with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong/sogogi-twist-yeongtong-gucheong-matandong-22-1raeg-900.webp) There were plenty of hearty ingredients mixed in, making it a satisfying way to finish the meal after all that meat. ## Is Sogogi Twist in Maetan-dong worth it?
