Date-night Korean BBQ in Haengdang-dong: giant-bowl stew, Pujutgan
Pujutgan Saenggogi-jeom is a 100-seat fresh-meat Korean BBQ restaurant in Haengdang-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, a short walk from Exit 10 of Wangsimni Station. On a Thursday evening after work, a married couple ordered one serving each of pork belly, pork neck and skirt meat, which staff grilled at the table on a cauldron-lid griddle, then finished with the free doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) served in a giant metal bowl and a bowl of bibim-naengmyeon (cold spicy noodles). Easy access and generous free stews and noodles make Pujutgan Saenggogi-jeom a good pick for both a date and a team dinner.
