Private rooms and group seating for a Gangnam dinner party

Deo Bareun Jeongyuk Sikdang Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Station Main Branch has group seating as well as private rooms, and it's corkage-free, so I highly recommend it if you're looking for a Gangnam evening group dinner spot 🍻 The spacious, upscale interior has a Korean feel while still looking clean and pretty.

It especially seemed perfect for group dinners, and sure enough there were a ton of group reservation setups that day!! The private room atmosphere is also really nice. Even though it was a weekday evening, it was almost fully booked with room and group reservations...!

Check out the incredible-looking meat peeking out of the fridge 🤤 Let's hurry and sit down to order

Menu and prices at Deo Bareun Jeongyuk Sikdang — no table charge

The signature dishes are Bareun So Han Mari at ₩139,000 (hanwoo 500g + yukhoe), Bareun Keun So Han Mari at ₩189,000 (hanwoo 700g + yukhoe + kimchi jjigae), and Jeju geun-gogi (black pork 600g) at ₩69,000. They serve pork as well as beef, and even though it's a butcher-style restaurant, there's no separate table charge!

Given Gangnam prices, this seems pretty reasonable, right? (Especially since they even grill the meat for you at this price)

• Jeju geun-gogi (black pork 600g) ₩69,000
• Hangjeongsal (170g) ₩21,000
• Gabrisal (170g) ₩21,000
• Hanwoo buchu-sulbap ₩11,000
• Soju & beer

Side dishes: myeongi namul and gungchae-jangajji, refilled three times

The table setting was ready fast as soon as we ordered haha. The whole restaurant was clean and tidy, and the staff even brought our spoons and chopsticks soaked in hot water 👍🏻 There was also a separate bottle of water prepared, and I loved these thoughtful little details ♡ᵕ̈♡

The basic side dish setup is so clean, right? The myeongi namul (wild garlic leaves) and gungchae jangajji (pickled aster stems) were so good that we refilled them three times — not a secret ㅋㅎㅋㅎ

Jeju black pork 600g for ₩69,000, grilled by the staff

Here comes the Jeju geun-gogi, and my adorable friend held it up for a photo haha

My blog neighbor, the heavy drinker, mixing soju and beer like a true pro

The staff grill the meat for you, so you just get to enjoy eating

The color is insane and the scoring is a work of art. The Jeju geun-gogi comes with samgyeopsal (pork belly), mokssal (pork neck), and gabrisal

My Jang Won-young friends — Jang Won-young: a slang term used when something is exactly to your liking and extremely satisfying (not sure if I'm using it right... anyway)

The meat grilling so nicely

Each of us had a big personal plate, so we could scoop as much of the side dishes or sauces as we wanted — really convenient

The grilling was a work of art... For the first bite I ate it plain without any sauce, and it was so juicy and delicious

⭐️ Highly recommend the myeongi namul + ssamjang + wasabi combo ⭐️

Hanwoo buchu-sulbap for ₩11,000 on the side

Can't skip the carbs. On the staff's recommendation we ordered the hanwoo buchu-sulbap (soybean paste rice with beef and chives) for ₩11,000. Doenjang sulbap with meat — need I say more 🤤 You really need doenjang sulbap to complete a BBQ meal haha

Adding hangjeongsal and gabrisal at ₩21,000 each

Added hangjeongsal (pork jowl), which wasn't part of the geun-gogi set 🐷 The pinkish lean meat is so pretty 💕

The heat was strong and the meat was well scored, so it grilled up beautifully golden brown

The hangjeongsal was seriously delicious too — chewy, juicy, and nuttier the more you chewed. Every cut was so good it was hard to pick just one...

And naturally we added gabrisal too... hahaha, self-added extra~ The three of us left full and satisfied

Why Deo Bareun Jeongyuk Sikdang is worth it for Korean BBQ in Sinnonhyeon
