Guro meat buffet with a 2-hour pass and soy dakgalbi: Bak Jeongmi

While hunting for a good dakgalbi (spicy stir-fried chicken) spot in Guro Digital Complex, I went to Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi ✨ It's a dakgalbi place, but they have a 2-hour all-you-can-eat pass so I was intrigued and went right away.

Guro Digital Complex has a ton of companies nearby, so a lot of people are looking for places to have team dinners after work — this place turned out to be great value for eating meat.

Where is Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi, and what are the hours?

📍 The address is 29 Digital-ro 32na-gil, Guro-gu, Seoul, 3rd floor of Huijeon Building. It's about 100m from Exit 2 of Guro Digital Complex Station, so pretty close to the subway.

⏰ Hours are Sunday 11:30-24:00, Monday to Saturday 11:30 to 1:00 the next day. Last order is 22:00 on Sundays and 23:00 Monday through Saturday. The hours are generous enough for a team dinner that runs into a second round.

How much is the 2-hour pass? 20,500 won, plus 9,900 won for unlimited drinks

At Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi you can enjoy dakgalbi along with other meat menus. I used the 2-hour all-you-can-eat pass for ₩20,500. Within the time limit you can try a variety of meats, so it seemed like a satisfying option for group visits.

And best of all, there's an unlimited drink option too — for just ₩9,900 you can drink as much soju and beer as you want. These days a single draft beer costs ₩7,000 somewhere, so just two draft beers here and you'd already get your money's worth.

Inside Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi: group work dinners and weekend families

The restaurant overall had a comfortable atmosphere for eating. There are several tables set up, so it seemed fine for anything from small gatherings to large team dinners. It felt like a good place for Guro office workers to drop by in small groups after work!

Being close to Guro Digital Complex Station is another plus for accessibility. I visited on a weekend and saw a lot of families there too.

At the self-serve bar you just grab as much meat, vegetables, rice, and everything else as you like.

What's on the self-serve bar: three dakgalbi flavors, pork belly and pork ribs

First, the meat! Being a dakgalbi restaurant, there were multiple varieties of dakgalbi. Salt seasoning, soy sauce seasoning, gochujang (red pepper paste) seasoning — you just grab whichever you like (personally, I thought the soy sauce one was the tastiest). Besides chicken, there was also pork belly and pork ribs.

There were so many vegetables too — bean sprouts, onions, peppers, garlic, of course, plus scallion salad, rice cakes, kimchi, and more. And there was even hot soup with self-serve fried rice. I was too full to try the fried rice this time, but next time I definitely want to finish the meal with it.

You can also make your own tteokbokki (spicy stir-fried rice cakes) at the pot bar — kids visiting with their families would probably love making this themselves. Load it up with vegetables, rice cakes, fish cakes, broth, and noodles to your heart's content.

This is the drinks corner — there's even a soda dispenser so you can pour just what you want. And a draft beer machine too! You pour it yourself, and it would be so refreshing with the meat.

Grilling the salt and soy sauce dakgalbi: which one tasted best

I started off by grabbing the salt-seasoned and soy sauce-seasoned dakgalbi.

The grill heat was really strong so the meat cooked fast, and the quality of the meat itself was great. No gamey smell at all, just really savory and delicious.

I also grilled kimchi and enoki mushrooms next to the meat, and those mushrooms were amazing. Dipped in sesame oil and salt, they had a nice crunchy texture too.

I was so hungry that I devoured it all as I grilled. Personally I prefer all-you-can-eat dakgalbi over all-you-can-eat pork belly — pork belly gets too greasy after a while and I get tired of it, but dakgalbi doesn't have that problem. It's definitely healthier than pork belly, easier on the stomach, and I can eat a lot more of it.

After filling up on the soy sauce and salt dakgalbi, I moved on to the seasoned one. It's gochujang-based but not too spicy — just the right amount, which I liked.

Staff service at Bak Jeongmi: fresh grill plates and trimmed burnt bits

Seasoned meat tends to burn the grill plate fast, so staff kept coming around to swap it out. The place is big and has a lot of staff, and they were all so friendly that I felt good the entire meal. There's clearly a reason this place does well ✨

We weren't great at grilling and burned a bit of meat, and the owner, passing by, seemed to notice and personally cut off the burnt parts with scissors one by one. So sweet 💓 The food was great and the service was really satisfying too.

With its close location to Guro Digital Complex Station and later closing hours, it felt convenient as a spot for an office team dinner! If you're craving meat in Guro and want a filling, good-value meal, give Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi a try ✨ I especially recommend going with a group and taking your time with the 2-hour all-you-can-eat pass 💓
