Gangnam Korean BBQ restaurant with grilled beef ribs: Uno

A Korean beef rib platter near Seolleung Station

Today I visited Uno, a great beef restaurant near Seolleung Station where you can fill up on Korean beef and premium beef at reasonable prices. It is so easy to get to from the station that it would be perfect for a casual post-work visit, as well as all kinds of gatherings and company dinners.

What I especially liked was being able to try a range of Korean beef cuts without breaking the bank. I ordered the Uno Galbi Platter, which lets you sample several cuts, and properly enjoyed the tender texture, rich juices, and deep beefy aroma. I also made sure to enjoy the yukhoe bibimbap (raw beef mixed rice) and cold somyeon (thin wheat noodles) sides 😎

Even the main hall has partitions between tables, making it easy to dine comfortably and privately without disturbance from neighboring tables.

Uno Galbi Platter and side dishes

They first set out the neatly prepared side dishes.

There were shredded radish salad, seasoned scallion salad, myeongi namul (pickled mountain garlic leaves), green chili with soybean paste, lemon sauce, and pickled onions.

The charcoal grill and Uno Galbi Platter arrived right away. It looked incredible from the start~ With dry ice added in, the freshness seemed to be off the charts. The Uno Galbi Platter includes cubed flower-marbling meat, LA galbi, beef tongue, and marinated rib meat.

They started by grilling the cubed flower-marbling meat. I loved that a skilled staff member provided the grilling service, so I could relax and eat comfortably.

In the meantime, the seonji haejangguk arrived too. Can you believe the complimentary soup was loaded with seonji, or coagulated ox blood? Seonji haejangguk is not easy to make at home, so I was thrilled... The broth was rich and packed with savory flavor—I almost asked for another bowl~ haha. They told me to start with the beautifully grilled cubed flower-marbling meat.

The combination of salt, which let the meat's natural flavor shine, and pungent wasabi was a no-brainer! It was nice and thick with a great bite, and the deep flavor and juices came rushing in all at once. With so many accompaniments, including myeongi namul, scallion salad, and shredded radish salad, it felt especially abundant.

The LA galbi, grilled moist and gleaming, let me truly savor the ribs' natural flavor. It was especially fantastic for its plentiful juices and tender texture.

I dipped the beef tongue in the house lemon sauce, and its pleasantly fatty, springy-chewy texture—with a slight crispness—made it fun to eat, too.

Lastly, the appetizingly grilled marinated rib meat had a seasoning that was not overpowering and a wonderfully tender, melting texture.

Finishing with yukhoe bibimbap and cold somyeon

The yukhoe bibimbap came with doenjang jjigae (soybean-paste stew). The fresh raw beef and assorted vegetables were well balanced, while the seasoning was not excessive and still had great savory depth. The yukhoe itself was fresh, so the texture was excellent as well.

The cold somyeon was also lightly topped with nutty-tasting yukhoe, and it paired so well with the tangy chilled broth. It was perfect for refreshing my palate between bites! They even served old-fashioned patbingsu (shaved ice with sweet red beans)! What a cool, sweet finish.

If you want to properly enjoy good-value beef and high-quality Korean beef around POSCO Intersection by Seolleung Station, I would recommend Uno, a Korean beef spot in Daechi-dong. With private rooms, grilling service from skilled staff, and unlimited corkage-free service, it was a great fit for family dining, company dinners near Seolleung Station, and all kinds of gatherings. If you are looking for a place to enjoy Korean beef at a reasonable price in Daechi-dong, how about a delicious meal at Uno?
