Sinsa-dong BBQ restaurant: three aged pork cuts at Sansol Sinsa

Sansol Sinsa Main Branch is an aged pork Korean BBQ restaurant in an alley between Sinsa and Jamwon stations in Seocho, Seoul. We ordered three cuts at once — Sansol aged pork belly, Sansol aged skirt meat and jin flower short rib — to compare texture and flavor, and the staff grilled everything at the table. Between the three-cut comparison and the downward ventilation that keeps smoke off your clothes, Sansol Sinsa Main Branch is an easy Seoul Korean BBQ pick.

Pick-your-own-bean americano and cheesecake at Seongsu café T Coffee

T Coffee is a quiet basement café in Seongsu, Seoul, about a 7-minute walk from Seongsu Station Exit 2, on the first basement floor of a building on Achasan-ro. The order was an americano with a choice of coffee beans and a cheesecake with a rich milky flavour, and even underground, T Coffee's open layout and well-spaced tables made it easy to read or work on a laptop alone. If you want somewhere calmer than Seongsu's busy main street, T Coffee is the answer.

Spicy cheongyang mayo bulgogi burger in Seongsu, Seoul: bd Burger

bd Burger Seongsu Station Yeonmujang-gil Lunch & Dinner is a handmade burger restaurant on the 2nd floor of a building about a 5-minute walk from Exits 3 and 4 of Seongsu Station in Seongdong, Seoul. The order was a cheongyang mayo bulgogi burger set with an extra patty (eggplant and mushroom fritters plus sparkling water) and butter garlic fries, and the sweet-salty bulgogi patty with the sharp kick of cheongyang mayo tasted clean rather than greasy. One burger per person is required and ordering runs through a table tablet with a self-serve bar, so bd Burger works well as a filling meal on a Seongsu date.
