Two sisters — one a beef fan, one a pork fan — shared the hanwoo/hanpork set for two (600g) at 118,000 won with half-and-half naengmyeon (cold noodles) at 7,000 won and diced rice at 8,000 won, and a staff member grilled the sirloin, fresh short rib, and pork belly in order at the table. With the photo review event adding a free kimchi stew, doenjang stew, steamed egg, or pork skin, Gogikkun Gim Chunbae is an easy pick when one person wants beef and the other wants pork. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3rd floor, 36 Hongik-ro 3-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 3F 12:00–23:00 (last order 22:00) / 4F 12:30–22:30 (last order 21:30) - **Hanwoo/hanpork set for two (600g)**: 118,000 won (pork belly 150g + fresh short rib 250g + hanwoo of the day 200g) - **Hanwoo set for two (400g)**: 167,000 won (sirloin, shrimp-shaped ribeye cut, chuck flap, short rib, 100g each) - **Hanpork set for two (600g)**: 62,000 won (pork belly, pork neck, fresh short rib, 200g each) - **Half-and-half naengmyeon**: 7,000 won - **Diced rice**: 8,000 won - **Good to know**: Corkage-free, reservations accepted, groups welcome, separate men's and women's restrooms - **Photo review event**: Free choice of kimchi stew, doenjang stew, steamed egg, or pork skin - **Price reference**: ₩118,000 ≈ $85 · ₩7,000 ≈ $5 · ₩8,000 ≈ $5.8 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* A Hongdae restaurant pick🥩 Gogikkun Gim Chunbae Hongdae Main Branch ![Gogikkun Gim Chunbae Hongdae Main Branch signature photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogikkun-kimchunbae-hongdae-sisters-dinner/gogikkun-kimchunbae-hongdae-sisters-dinner-01-5qlza-1200.webp) A long-overdue Hongdae date with my sister🤍 While looking up what to eat for dinner, I found a BBQ place that could satisfy both of us at once — my beef-loving sister and me, team pork👀!!!
