Why Gogikkun Kim Chunbae Gongdeok Direct Store on exam day
Gogikkun Kim Chunbae Gongdeok Direct Store (고기꾼김춘배 공덕직영점) is the BBQ place near Gongdeok Station I picked for a celebration-and-recharge dinner on the day my husband Juni finished his engineer exam. The forest-park view, the service and above all the amount and taste of the meat are so good that this is already our nth visit. We keep thinking about it.
Juni's long exam study was finally over and exam day had come! After he worked hard and came back from the test, we returned here to recharge with hearty, delicious meat.
Location and parking
Gogikkun Kim Chunbae Gongdeok Direct Store faces the Gyeongui Line Forest Park and is 517m from Exit 1 of Gongdeok Station. We came by car and used the paid parking lot across the street.
What are the interior and the Gyeongui Line Forest Park view like?
As always, the interior was kept clean and tidy. And looking out at the green Gyeongui Line Forest Park, you feel like you've left the city for a trip. I fell for that view all over again.
How to order and what we chose
You can order easily on the kiosk at the table. Once we ordered, they neatly set out ssam (wraps), scallion salad, pickled onion, kimchi, ssamjang (wrap sauce) and more.
- Hanwoo + pork set for two (600g): ₩124,000
- Half-and-half naengmyeon (cold noodles): ₩7,000
- Zero Cola
We always eat just pork, but today is a special day, so let's go for hanwoo!!
The hanwoo sirloin: how it arrives and how it tasted
After we ordered, the hanwoo came out first. A heap of the fresh minari (water dropwort) we love, mushrooms, and then... the. Han. Woo. Oh hanwoo, I missed you! The marbling was a work of art, the slices were nice and thick, and everything looked fresh. I loved it.
The restaurant sells various cuts, including 1++ hanwoo sirloin, galbi (ribs), salchisal (chuck flap tail) and saeu-sal (flap meat). Since it's premium meat, I can't even put the juiciness into words.
When the delicious sirloin was cooking, we were ready to dig in!
My mouth was watering. Juni said all the hard moments of studying were forgotten and he was so happy. Hanwoo really is different.
The sirloin is delicious on its own, but we started enjoying it in different ways with minari, mushrooms and sauce. Being hanwoo, even the juices are different, and the deeper nuttiness and tenderness the more you chew were the best. If you come to Gogikkun Kim Chunbae Gongdeok Direct Store, the hanwoo sirloin is a must!
Round two: pork belly and pork neck
The second round of the hanwoo + pork set was pork belly and pork neck. And that wasn't all. They again gave us generous amounts of minari and gosari (bracken fern), which is why I keep coming back here.
When the meat just keeps coming like this, we feel happy. We're a meat-loving couple, so the two of us finish it all haha.
Once the tasty pork belly and neck are grilled, eating them with the gosari and minari grilled alongside is the absolute best combo. We chatted about this and that, told funny stories, and Juni and I lost track of time while recharging.
Can't pick mul or bibim? Get the half-and-half naengmyeon
The half-and-half naengmyeon (₩7,000) at Gogikkun Kim Chunbae Gongdeok Direct Store lets you taste both mul-naengmyeon (cold broth noodles) and bibim-naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles). With pork, naengmyeon is a must, right? But picking one is always a dilemma. Mul? Bibim? Ah... I can't choose, I want both! If that's you, go for the half-and-half.
You get both kinds, and both were so tasty that my chopsticks kept going back. The half-and-half naengmyeon was perfect.
How generous are the portions?
The portions at Gogikkun Kim Chunbae Gongdeok Direct Store were so big that even a big-eater couple gave up on fried rice. We actually planned to order the kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi) fried rice too, but with so much meat, veggies and naengmyeon, we never got to it. Since I'm disappointed... I'll just have to visit again~ hehe.
According to the writer, Gogikkun Kim Chunbae started as the Hongdae main branch in 2015 and is run as directly managed stores. It's a premium BBQ place where you can enjoy both hanwoo and pork, so enjoy the Gyeongui Line Forest Park view and recharge with family, friends or your partner.
