Solo dining Korean BBQ in Hapjeong, single-serving pork neck: Ijjok
Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal is an old-school Korean BBQ restaurant in the basement of a building on Dokmak-ro 3-gil, near Hapjeong Station in Mapo, Seoul. One serving of pork neck ordered solo after work was good enough to warrant a second, followed by pork jowl, doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) and doenjang sul-bap (rice stirred into the leftover stew). With the owner confirming that single servings are fine and grilling the meat at the table, Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal makes eating and drinking alone easy.
