Family of four under 50,000 won at a Guwol-dong BBQ: Euljiro Charcoal

I had something to do near Guwol-dong and stumbled onto this seriously retro but spotless charcoal grill place! Not many places let you grill over real charcoal these days, so I was so happy to find this one — let me tell you about Euljiro Charcoal Grill Guwol Branch (을지로 연탄구이 구월점)!!

Where is Euljiro Charcoal Grill Guwol Branch? Parking and hours

Let me start with directions. Euljiro Charcoal Grill Guwol Branch sits right in front of the Lotte Department Store at Incheon Terminal Station!

It's near Guwol-dong Rodeo Street, so there's tons of fun stuff to do for a stroll or hangout afterward!!

• Hours: Daily 16:00 – 2:30 AM (last order 2:00 AM)
• Parking: You all know how brutal parking is on Guwol-dong Rodeo Street... but this place actually has parking available!!

Free parking for up to 2 hours meant visiting by car was super convenient and stress-free.

What is the restaurant like inside? A retro but clean, roomy hall

The vibe hit me the moment I walked into Euljiro Charcoal Grill Guwol Branch! The place is dripping with retro atmosphere but also really clean! There's plenty of group seating and the interior is spacious, so it never felt cramped at all!

The space felt roomy enough to be great for hanging out with friends or a work dinner too. There's also a neatly maintained self-serve bar where you can grab side dishes yourself!

What a family of four ordered: 600g pork platter, soybean stew and cold noodles

We came as two adults and two kids, four of us total, and ordered a satisfying spread of the pork hanguen (600g platter) plus soybean paste stew and water cold noodles!

Wait, is it even real that we ate this full and it still came out to less than ₩50,000...? All four of us walked away stuffed! The portions were huge and it was so cheap!! And most of all, maybe because it was grilled over charcoal, the smoky flavor on the meat was absolutely no joke... !.! It was so good!!

Is Euljiro Charcoal Grill Guwol Branch good with kids?

My kids ate so happily that it really made my day, hehe. If you're looking for a Guwol-dong pork belly spot, you've got to try this proper charcoal smoke flavor, seriously, TT.

The atmosphere is great for dates too, and it would be perfect for a get-together with friends or a family meal out! The owner thoughtfully set out separate dishes for the kids, which made eating so much easier for us.

A total gem for value with delicious meat and seafood all in one place — I highly recommend Euljiro Charcoal Grill Guwol Branch, a Guwol-dong BBQ favorite!
