Yangjae curry shop: brown rice flank steak curry, Yeongyeong Salad

Why Yeongyeong Salad Dogok near Yangjae Station after a late-night gopchang feast

Yeongyeong Salad Dogok (영영샐러드 도곡점) is a new poke and curry spot near Yangjae Station, and it sells coffee too. I'd had a late-night gopchang (grilled beef intestine) party the night before, so I figured I should eat something light the next day! That's how I ended up at Yeongyeong Salad Dogok ➿

There weren't really any clean, diet-friendly places around here, so I was so happy to see this one open! I recommend it for anyone on a diet or watching what they eat.

Where is Yeongyeong Salad Dogok? Parking and busy times

Yeongyeong Salad Dogok is a 7-minute walk from Yangjae Station Exit 4. Head into the alley on the Peter Hospital side and you'll spot it 🫶🏻 There's no parking, so you'll need to use a nearby public car park.

I got there a little after 1 PM, when the lunch crowd had cleared out, so it was quiet. It can get busy at the 12 o'clock peak, so I'd suggest avoiding that hour ✨

Inside Yeongyeong Salad Dogok: interior and seating

The shop only just opened, so the inside was nice and clean like this! People who come for poke or salad are usually solo or in pairs, so most of the seats were tables for two.

Yeongyeong Salad Dogok menu: poke and curry

The menu at Yeongyeong Salad Dogok is basically two things: poke and curry. You can get poke without rice, as salad only, so that makes it a salad, right? 🌿

The poke comes with grilled tofu, chicken breast, flank steak, salmon, shrimp and more! The curry has the same options. You can also switch to brown rice, which I liked. They say white rice isn't great for you...? 🥲

Most of the menu is easy on the stomach, so it looks like a good place for a light meal when you're watching your diet or want to eat in a balanced way 💚

How does the flank steak curry with brown rice taste at spice level 1?

• Flank steak curry (level 1, mildly spicy)
• Switched to brown rice

The flank steak curry at Yeongyeong Salad Dogok comes generously topped with well-grilled flank steak. I ordered it with brown rice 🫶🏻 It comes standard with golden garlic flakes, sharp green onion and a soft poached egg, so it's a really solid combo for getting your protein!

Curry thickness and spice levels

The curry comes separately and you pour as much as you like. It's thin, not thick! You know that the thicker the curry, the more flour is in it, right!? 🥲 Since this one is thin, it felt healthier, which I liked.

You can pick from 3 spice levels. I ordered level 1, and it was slightly tangy and spicy, just right!

The poached egg yolk

Pop the poached egg yolk and the soft-set yolk runs out all moist 💛 Mixed with the curry, it gets even richer and smoother. Was there an option to add extra poached egg...? Next time I'll add one.

The best part: the flame-grilled flank steak topping

The tastiest thing about the flank steak curry at Yeongyeong Salad Dogok was the steak topping! It had a proper flame-grilled aroma, as if freshly done over an open fire, and it was tender to chew. Really delicious ✨

When I only eat salad or poke, the sweet dressing sometimes leaves me feeling empty, and as someone who loves Korean food, I always find it too greasy...☁️ But the tangy curry kept it clean and I finished the whole bowl! The crunchy garlic flakes were a perfect match too.

That flame-grilled flavor on the steak was the best! I thought of it as a light salad place, but the meat topping really has that fire aroma and the curry is good too. Loved this place 🫶🏻
