Dohwa-dong charcoal beef ribs for two: 600g Friday night, Mapo Mokjang

Mapo Mokjang is a charcoal-grill beef rib restaurant tucked into a Dohwa-dong alley, a 3-minute walk from Exit 3 of Mapo Station in Seoul. A married couple visited at 7:30pm on a Friday, ordered 600g of Black Angus unmarinated beef rib meat (sogalbisal), and finished it in 40 minutes along with the complimentary kimchi stew and a firmly packed bowl of rice. For what you get, Mapo Mokjang is priced kindly enough for a work dinner or just a casual drink.
