Sunday lunch Korean BBQ in Gangnam, 4 servings for two: Bongu Hwarro
Bongu Hwarro is a 150-seat charcoal-grill pork belly restaurant on Bongeunsa-ro 18-gil near Gangnam Station in Seoul. Arriving with a friend at noon on a Sunday, we ordered 2 servings of pork belly, added 2 more at half price under the 20th-anniversary deal, and shared one water naengmyeon (cold noodles) — 4 servings in total. The charcoal brazier brought to the table gave the pork belly a smoky flavor that drew a gasp on the first bite, and the only regret was being too full for the free ramyeon and Joripong ice cream.
