Cheonghwawon Daehangno Branch is a Taiwanese-Chinese restaurant in Jongno, Seoul, 166 meters from Exit 4 of Hyehwa Station and spread over two floors. The writer tried Taiwanese beef noodles for the first time here, ordering tiger fried rice and cream shrimp alongside them from the kiosk built into every table, which also takes payment. The thick beef noodle broth, smoky tiger fried rice and oversized cream shrimp made the combination especially satisfying.

Korean BBQ for 3 in Yeonsinnae, Seoul: half LA kkotgalbi and galbisal

Golmokjip Galbisal Yeonsinnae Main Branch is a charcoal beef rib restaurant near Exit 6 of Yeonsinnae Station in Eunpyeong, Seoul.

A solid Yeonsinnae meat spot for group dinners or family gatherings thanks to its long tables.

Moksam Hwaro Nowon Main Branch is a pork neck (mogsal) specialist Korean BBQ restaurant in an alley 2 minutes from Nowon Station Exit 1 in Seoul.

Moksam Hwaro broke the idea that pork neck is dry, and a return visit with family is already planned.
