## In short

Yukhoe Gongjakso Sejong University branch is a Korean cooking pub in the food alley outside Exit 4 of Children's Grand Park Station in Gwangjin, Seoul, decorated with cherry blossoms. Two people who booked a Friday 6pm table shared the 35,000-won mungtigi beef sashimi drinking set, 12,900-won beef bul-chobap (flame-seared beef sushi) and two bottles of soju, grilling buchaesal (chuck flap) beef and five kinds of skewers on a mini charcoal brazier. With every door thrown open for a half-outdoor beer-garden feel, Yukhoe Gongjakso works just as well for a date as for drinking alone.

It had been a while since I looked for somewhere near Konkuk University Station for dinner and drinks, and I stumbled on an izakaya with really nice vibes. Let me introduce Yukhoe Gongjakso Sejong University branch, a great-atmosphere yukhoe (beef tartare) spot near Konkuk University Station :)

## Where is Yukhoe Gongjakso Sejong University branch?

Yukhoe Gongjakso Sejong University branch is on the 1st floor of 50 Gunja-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. It's a 4-minute walk from Eorini Daegongwon Station Exit 4 through the Ongnumong alley, or a 7-minute walk from Konkuk University Station Exit 1 through Hwayang Market.

- ✔️ 4-minute walk from Eorini Daegongwon Station Exit 4 via the Ongnumong alley
- ✔️ 7-minute walk from Konkuk University Station Exit 1 through Hwayang Market

I took a bus and got a bit lost at first, but once I entered the food alley it was easy to spot.

### The cherry-blossom exterior on the Children's Grand Park alley

I visited on a night with a warm breeze, perfect weather for open-air drinking, and they'd smartly thrown all the doors wide open. That way even the seats inside get that open-air feel〰️

### Opening hours and parking in Gwangjin

### Do you need a reservation, and is there a wait?

## Inside Yukhoe Gongjakso: couple seats and group tables

![Open-air table seating facing both indoors and outdoors](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-03-nq8pm-900.webp)

Before you even step inside, you're greeted by open-air tables that face both indoors and outdoors👋 This table setup seems to be Yukhoe Gongjakso's signature — other branches have the same kind of table.

Inside, cherry blossoms stand out in a Japanese-style interior paired with soft lighting, making it the perfect date atmosphere💕

![Partitioned couple seating inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-05-1iqss-900.webp)

![Group seating for several people](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-06-1ihod-m-900.webp)

From partitioned couple seats to group seating big enough for a crowd, there are tables to suit every taste. Having a restroom inside the shop is a total +500 points in my book👍 The ceiling is covered in lit-up cherry blossom branches, and the mood was genuinely great.

## Menu, prices and what we ordered

![Menu board and prices at Yukhoe Gongjakso Sejong University branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-08-43ua8-900.webp)

They say all the beef used across the menu is clean-raised Australian beef, round or rump cut, slaughtered at dawn and flown in the same day, then prepped the moment it's ordered👀 Beyond beef dishes like yukhoe, mungtigi, and yakiniku, there's also a range of non-beef options like beet-cured salmon, jokbal/bossam, and ₩3,900 side dishes. ✅ There's also a 900ml sake half-price promotion going on!! (₩19,900)

- Mungtigi beef sashimi set ₩35,000
- Beef bulcho sushi ₩12,900
- 2 bottles of soju ₩5,000 x 2

The two of us ordered the mungtigi beef sashimi set — 190g mungtigi + 5 skewers + 200g budachal beef — plus beef bulcho sushi on the side, so we filled up on carbs too.

### The complimentary starter: beef and egg soup

![Complimentary beef egg soup served as a base dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-09-1cyxq-808.webp)

A beef bone broth-based egg soup comes standard, tasting like a mix of beef radish soup and egg soup — savory and salty in the best way… and they refill it endlessly on request👏👏

## What comes in the 35,000-won mungtigi beef sashimi set

![Full spread of the mungtigi beef sashimi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-10-rryzh-900.webp)

![Five skewers and budachal beef on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-11-1b7bt-718.webp)

![Plate of thinly sliced mungtigi beef sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-12-fg81n-m-785.webp)

Ta-da! Here's how the mungtigi beef sashimi set arrives. The skewers were ginkgo nuts x2, spring onion chicken, heart, and chicken skin — plus yakiniku-ready budachal beef and thinly sliced mungtigi!

![A drink-summoning spread of food on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-13-l25mk-900.webp)

Truly a drink-summoning spread of food🍻

![A piece of pre-seasoned mungtigi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-14-13ece-900.webp)

I tried the mungtigi first — it comes lightly pre-seasoned, so it felt complete on its own without needing to dip it in any sauce.

![Beef sashimi dipped in chojang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-15-bk6kb-900.webp)

Sesame oil sauce and chojang (vinegared chili sauce) came on the side too. I tried the chojang, and honestly the tangy flavor paired surprisingly well with the raw beef sashimi?!

### Grilling buchaesal (chuck flap) beef on the mini brazier

While we were eating the sashimi, they brought over a mini charcoal grill, so next we grilled the budachal beef yakiniku.

![Thinly sliced budachal beef cooking quickly](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-17-1ambe-900.webp)

The meat was sliced thin, so it cooked really fast. I dipped the lightly grilled budachal in sesame oil sauce — grilled meat and sesame oil sauce, still the best combo,,👏

![Heart and chicken skin skewers on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-18-q6hs4-900.webp)

![Close-up of five skewers grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang/yukhoe-gongjakso-sejong-mungtigi-sang-19-urg2l-900.webp)

The grill's flame was barely holding on so I scrambled to throw the skewers on too haha. It happened that all the skewers were exactly the kinds I like, so I got secretly excited🤤 My personal favorite was the heart skewer!! Not the dried-out, tough kind of heart — this was chewy with just the right seasoning, absolutely delicious🥹🥹 It brought back the taste of the ₩5,000-for-5 skewers I used to buy from a food truck guy behind YBM in Jongno back in the day🥹🥹🥹

## Beef bul-chobap (flame-seared beef sushi), 12,900 won

After eating mostly raw dishes, I felt a bit hollow, so I added the beef bulcho sushi to fill up on carbs. It looked like they'd practically poured on the mayo and teriyaki sauce, plus a cute garnish of radish sprouts and microgreens.

It's huge — technically bite-sized but violently oversized, spilling out everywhere💦 But honestly, isn't that a plus?
