Suwon beef BBQ for a couple: 500g prime platter at Sogogi Twist

I heard a great-value beef restaurant had opened near Yeongtong District Office, so I went with my husband 🤗

Where is Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch, and what are its hours?

Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch is a BBQ restaurant on the first floor of Millennium Plaza, next to Yeongtong District Office. It is open every day from 15:00 to 24:00, and parking is available.

I heard it is a beef specialist using prime grade, the top 3% of American beef. You can eat prime beef for just ₩8,800 per 100g, so it is great value, and it was perfect for a small work dinner as well as a family get-together!

Is there parking at Sogogi Twist near Yeongtong District Office?

The Millennium Plaza building has an underground garage with 2 hours of free parking. Thanks to that, we parked easily and could eat at a relaxed pace.

Sogogi Twist menu and what we ordered for two

The pork options were samgyeopsal (pork belly) and moksal (pork neck). The prime beef was kkotsaeu-sal, salchisal, jebichuri and brisket, and the wagyu was ribeye and moksal. We wanted to try several cuts, so we ordered a platter. It comes in 500g and 1kg units, so the two of us went with the 500g beef platter.

The side menu had beef doenjang stew (soybean paste stew), beef doenjang sullbap (rice cooked in soybean paste with beef), fresh pork kimchi stew, kkakdugi fried rice, cheese bomb steamed egg, bean sprout hangover ramen, and water or spicy cold noodles (naengmyeon).

Banchan and the self-serve bar at Sogogi Twist

The banchan (side dishes) were young radish kimchi, pickled perilla leaves, kkakdugi, pickled radish, pickled onion, and scallion salad.

There is a self-serve bar in the middle of the restaurant, so you can help yourself whenever you run out of side dishes.

Opening event: 200g of free brisket at Sogogi Twist

For the opening event, every table got 200g of brisket for free! Good-quality brisket worth ₩20,000 at no cost, so I recommend visiting before the event ends!

Before the beef platter arrived, we greased the grill with the brisket first!

The brisket was so fresh and good that next time I will definitely order more!

The 500g beef platter, served in dry ice smoke

Our 500g beef platter arrived! Sogogi Twist makes it fun to look at, too 😃 Such a clever touch 👏👏👏

With the smoke from the dry ice, the beef looked even fresher 😂

The 500g platter comes with kkotsaeu-sal, salchisal and jebichuri! The cuts had a decent thickness, perfect for beef that is crispy outside and juicy inside 😆

How to grill salchisal: sear it fast like a steak

I grilled the salchisal (chuck flap tail) first! I seared both sides quickly until crisp, like a steak, then cut it right away and ate it while the juices were still in.

True to salchisal's reputation for tenderness, it was moist and meltingly soft 😋

See how juicy it is! I am pretty confident about grilling beef, so I always hold the tongs when we have beef. That day, too, I grilled it perfectly, and I felt so proud watching my husband enjoy it 😎

How to grill kkotsaeu-sal: cut into cubes for even cooking

Next, I grilled the kkotsaeu-sal (a cut of rib-cap-area beef)!

It was a little thick, but I turned it to crisp every surface, then cut it into cubes so it cooked evenly. It was rich and nutty, so good!

How to grill jebichuri: a quick flip on each side

Last was jebichuri (beef flank-area cut)! It came in easy-to-eat pieces, so I just flipped it quickly on both sides!

I liked that jebichuri's distinctive aroma really came through, and since it was cut into bite-size pieces, the richness filled your mouth. My husband and I both loved it 😋

Sogogi Twist side dishes to try next time

I was too full to order a side dish that day, but next time I have to try the beef doenjang sullbap 😀 I recommend Sogogi Twist Yeongtong District Office Branch as a great BBQ spot near Yeongtong District Office ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
