The writer and a senior coworker shared the Yukrab set for 2 (jingalbisal beef rib finger meat, toshisal hanger steak and lamb chops, 470g, ₩67,000), grilling the jingalbisal, then the toshisal, then the lamb chops. Even the writer, who is usually put off by the smell of beef, found the meat tender with no gamey taste. With garlic sauce good enough to refill and even the rice earning praise, Yukrab Jongno is a Jonggak Station Korean BBQ spot with a great atmosphere. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3rd floor, 42 Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul (Jonggak Youth Street) - **Getting there**: 5-minute walk from Jonggak Station Exit 4 - **Hours**: 16:00–23:00, last order 22:00 - **Reservations**: Bookable on Naver; an event is offered with reservations - **Yukrab set for 2**: Jingalbisal (beef rib finger meat) 120g + lamb chops 230g + toshisal (hanger steak) 120g + 3 pieces of cheese + doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), ₩67,000 - **Extra rice**: +₩1,500 - **Other sets**: Galbi set for 2, mixed set for 3 - **Drinks**: Soju, beer, whiskey, highballs, wine - **Seating**: Many private rooms - **Price reference**: ₩67,000 ≈ $50.5 · ₩1,500 ≈ $1.1 · ₩10,000 ≈ $7.5 (2026-10-22) *as written by the visitor on Jun 18, 2026* I was looking for a BBQ place near my office with a nice atmosphere and found Yukrab Jongno (육랩 종로점) in the youth street near Jonggak Station and Jongno 3-ga. So I went!! ## Where is Yukrab Jongno and what are its hours? ![Exterior of Yukrab Jongno in the Jonggak youth street](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-01-tshyr-900.webp) Yukrab Jongno is on the 3rd floor at 42 Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, a 5-minute walk from Jonggak Station Exit 4. It's open 16:00-23:00 with last order at 22:00. You can reserve through Naver, and they say there's an event for reservations too. ![The building housing Yukrab Jongno and the surrounding street](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-02-5d0xf-900.webp) It's in the Jonggak youth street, but it's on the 3rd floor, so look at the building carefully! ![Interior of Yukrab Jongno with many private rooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-03-1leqa-900.webp) ## What's the vibe for dates and company dinners? Yukrab Jongno has lots of private rooms, so the mood is great for a date, and it seems perfect for a Jonggak company dinner too! I went with a senior coworker, and the next table was a group of office workers having a company dinner. It's a room, though, so it wasn't noisy at all haha. The atmosphere was so good that I now want to come back with my husband. ![Private room seats and table at Yukrab Jongno](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-04-plfkh-900.webp) ## Yukrab set for 2: contents and price Yukrab Jongno's 2-person Yukrab set comes with 120g of jingalbisal (prime galbi meat), 230g of lamb chops, 120g of toshisal (beef skirt), 3 pieces of cheese and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) for ₩67,000. Extra rice is ₩1,500. Yukrab specializes in beef, so there's jingalbisal, sirloin, toshisal, garlic beef ribs, two-plus Hanwoo tenderloin and more, but they sell lamb too! The set combinations are so good that I ordered the 2-person Yukrab set instead of single items. - 2-person Yukrab set: jingalbisal 120g + lamb chops 230g + toshisal 120g + 3 pcs cheese + doenjang jjigae / ₩67,000 - Extra rice +₩1,500 Besides the 2-person Yukrab set I ordered, the 2-person galbi set and 3-person mixed set look good too, and the drinks aren't just soju and beer: there were whiskey, highballs and wine as well haha ![Set menu and drinks menu at Yukrab Jongno](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-05-hq3rm-900.webp) ### Yukrab Jongno review event discount The review event at Yukrab Jongno was really good. Depending on group size, a party of 4 can get up to ₩10,000 off, and for a group of 16, they say even 4 people joining gets you ₩40,000 off. No reason not to take part!!! ![Review event notice at Yukrab Jongno](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-06-2a0cj-900.webp) ## What sides and sauces come at Yukrab Jongno? The basic table setting at Yukrab Jongno is generous: 4 sauces and 6 side dishes. For beef there's wasabi, whole-grain mustard, garlic sauce and ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste), plus sauces like cumin (jjeuran) for the lamb chops, and the 6 sides were kimchi, pickled lettuce, salad, pickled garlic and 2 kinds of namul (seasoned vegetables)! And the sides are all delicious, and so are the sauces ㅠㅠ The sides pass already!! ![Table setting with 4 sauces and 6 side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-07-1fcsk-900.webp) The Yukrab set I ordered! The plating alone makes you reach for your camera. You know the vegetables and rice cakes that come with it are the best when grilled alongside the meat. ![2-person Yukrab set with jingalbisal, toshisal and lamb chops](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-08-13095-1200.webp) Doesn't the color of the meat look different? The marbling is so good ㅠㅠ The 2-person Yukrab set has 470g of meat in total, which is plenty for two! We're two women and we both nearly burst,, A staff member explained each cut and said to grill them in the order jingalbisal, toshisal, lamb chops, and then you can just grill comfortably!! You can't have meat without doenjang jjigae. ### Why I even praised the rice Koreans run on rice (밥심)! I ordered just one extra bowl, and no exaggeration, the rice was so sticky and delicious that my senior and I guessed it must be good rice and kept praising it even after leaving the restaurant lol I was so curious where the rice comes from••• ![Marbled beef from the Yukrab set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-09-h83pi-900.webp) The marbling is insane ![Jingalbisal placed on the brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-10-vsyxj-900.webp) ![Jingalbisal cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-11-1izkl-900.webp) ![Jingalbisal grilling with vegetables and rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-12-74hd0-900.webp) ## How do you grill the jingalbisal, and how does it taste? In the Yukrab set you grill the jingalbisal first. Unlike pork, beef doesn't have to be cooked through; you can have it rare, medium or well-done to taste. I think we grilled it to about medium-well haha Cooked on the outside, a little less inside! ![Jingalbisal grilled to medium-well](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-13-48lzp-900.webp) ![Grilled jingalbisal with sauces on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-14-1go2q-900.webp) I put all the sauces on my plate and tried each one, and Yukrab's garlic sauce is sweet without the bitter edge of garlic, so good that I asked for more haha ![Grilled beef resting on vegetables and rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-15-7b9px-900.webp) Once the meat was cooked a bit, I laid it on top of the vegetables and rice cakes lol Honestly I'm very picky about the gamey smell particular to beef, but Yukrab's jingalbisal had really no gamey smell and was full of juice, so so delicious! The meat itself seems so good that I think it'd be tender even grilled well-done, with no dryness at all. ![A piece of jingalbisal from the Yukrab set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-16-1p0b6-900.webp) ## Is the toshisal at Yukrab Jongno tender? Toshisal comes after the jingalbisal! I normally like the more tender buchaesal (oyster blade) better than toshisal, but Yukrab is a toshisal spot. The texture was so tender I wondered whether toshisal could really be this soft, and every bite was full of rich beef flavor. ![Yukrab toshisal grilled on the brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-17-id8fx-900.webp) ## Lamb chops and grilled cheese Last, we grilled the lamb chops. (But the earlier meat was so good and plentiful that I was already more than half full,,) ![Lamb chops grilling on the brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-18-16vzk-900.webp) They said the cheese in the set falls through the grill if you put it directly on the brazier, so we grilled it on top of the vegetables lol Grill the lamb chops golden on top and bottom, and if you call a staff member, they'll cut them into bite-size pieces for you! ![Lamb chops cut into bite-size pieces by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-19-l1s1z-900.webp) ![Cheese grilled on vegetables next to lamb chops](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-20-13fzk-900.webp) You know lamb chops really divide people, because of that lamb smell ㅠㅠ But I think Yukrab's lamb chops are better quality than most lamb specialty restaurants. No gamey smell, so tender and delicious! If you turn them to brown the outside, they're tender inside and nutty outside. ![A golden-grilled lamb chop piece](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-21-1476z-900.webp) ![Lamb chop with cumin](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-22-wxv1t-900.webp) ![Lamb chop eaten with grilled cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-23-i4ir2-900.webp) Cumin is the best match for lamb, right? I also tried it with the grilled cheese, and it was a nice treat haha ![Lamb chop bone gnawed as a finish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner-24-o368x-900.webp) To finish, you have to gnaw the bone on the lamb chop haha My senior said she was full, so I ate two, hehe. So chewy and really delicious! Even if you're full, pick the bones clean like me (?) If you're looking for a great-atmosphere spot near Jonggak Station for a company dinner or a date, I highly recommend Yukrab Jongno! ## Where it is - Yukrab Jongno (육랩 종로점) - 3rd floor, 42 Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 우정국로2길 42 3층 육랩 - 37.5694552, 126.9854065 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A1%EB%9E%A9%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.5694552,126.9854065,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@nakwon-small-compact/jonggak-yukrap-set-garlic-sauce-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
