# Grill-it-yourself Korean BBQ terrace in Hongdae: Gogikkun Gimchunbae - By Jina M. (https://superchart.com/en/@roast-letter/) - Written Sep 22, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Mapo, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was provided as a complimentary meal from the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@roast-letter/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@roast-letter/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/index.md) ## In short Gogikkun Gimchunbae Hongdae Supgil Branch is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Hongdae, Seoul, a 7-minute walk from Hongik University Station with terrace seats beside Gyeongui Line Forest Park. The writer reserved a table, moved from the indoor reserved seat out to the terrace, and grilled the hanwoo beef and pork set for two — pork neck, beef short rib flap, today's beef cut, half-and-half naengmyeon and fried rice — with chuck flap tail as that day's beef. At Gogikkun Gimchunbae, terrace guests grill for themselves while staff grill indoors, so the outdoor mood is worth the extra work. ## Good to know - **Location**: 31-2 Seogang-ro 13-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (about a 7-minute walk from Hongik University Station) - **Hours**: Daily 12:00–23:00 (last order 22:00) - **Parking**: No parking on site; the nearest option is Sinchon 2 public off-street parking lot - **Ordered**: Hanwoo beef and pork set for two (pork neck + beef short rib flap + today's beef cut + half-and-half naengmyeon + fried rice) - **Today's beef cut**: Chuck flap tail (salchisal) - **Seating**: Terrace seats are self-grilled; indoor seats are grilled by staff *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* Today I visited a Korean BBQ place in Hongdae with a great terrace atmosphere! This time I went to Gogikkun Gimchunbae Hongdae Supgil Branch — the walk from Hongik University Station is pretty, and I really liked the terrace vibe haha. Let me introduce it right away! ## Gogikkun Gimchunbae Hongdae Supgil Branch: location, hours and parking - 📍 Location: 31-2 Seogang-ro 13-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 🕐 Hours: Daily 12:00–23:00 (last order 22:00) - 🚗 Parking: Not available ## How to walk from Hongik University Station, and what the restaurant looks like ![Exterior of Gogikkun Gimchunbae Hongdae Supgil Branch next to Gyeongui Line Forest Park in Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-01-jpth3-518.webp) It took about 7 minutes on foot from Hongik University Station! The walk over was so pretty that I was strolling along admiring the scenery, and then there it was — a lovely terrace BBQ place off in the distance. I didn't even realize it was Gogikkun Gimchunbae at first, I was just thinking 'wow, pretty' — turns out it was the place I'd booked, which made me so happy haha! There's no parking on site, but the nearest option is Sinchon 2 outdoor public parking lot! ## Terrace seats vs. indoor seats at Gogikkun Gimchunbae: what changes? ![View of the outdoor terrace seating at Gogikkun Gimchunbae Hongdae Supgil Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-02-6adr2-519.webp) ![Lit-up terrace table with a view of the forest path](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-03-7mzxe-518.webp) The terrace atmosphere... it's really so pretty. I love terrace seating so much ❤️ ![Table setting at the reserved terrace seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-04-cgc1h-m-521.webp) I'd made a reservation in advance, so I was led to my reserved seat! At first they showed me to an indoor seat, but I wanted the terrace, so I asked, and luckily a spot had just opened up, so I moved right away! On the terrace you grill the meat yourself, while indoors the staff grill it for you haha. Even though I'd have to grill it myself, the terrace atmosphere won me over, so I decided to just sit there! ## The menu and what comes in the hanwoo beef and pork set for two ![Beef menu board at Gogikkun Gimchunbae Hongdae Supgil Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-05-1wvfg-966.webp) ![Menu board listing pork cuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-06-my9sx-966.webp) ![Menu board showing the set menu composition](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-07-13t6z-966.webp) ![Menu board listing side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-08-1rplb-966.webp) They sell both beef and pork, and there were plenty of side dish options too, which I liked :) We ordered the 'beef and pork set for two.' The set came with pork neck + beef short rib flap + today's beef cut + half-and-half naengmyeon (cold noodles) + fried rice! ### The banchan (side dishes) that come with the set ![Basic banchan spread including wild garlic greens, bean sprouts, and pickled onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-09-13xbx-502.webp) The basic banchan came out right away — wild garlic greens, bean sprouts, pickled onion, salt, ssamjang (dipping sauce), scallion salad, and kimchi for grilling. They were all things that go nicely with meat, served in a clean, simple way! ## Chuck flap tail, pork neck and short rib flap: how they tasted grilled at the table ![Plate of raw beef and pork from the set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-10-u5tzo-1200.webp) The meat we ordered came out! It was today's beef cut plus pork neck and short rib flap. Today's beef cut was chuck flap tail (salchisal)! ![Chuck flap tail beef grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-11-1lc53-518.webp) I grilled the chuck flap tail first, and the moment it hit my mouth it just melted away..! True to its name, it was tender and juicy — so delicious, I could've cried. ![Thick-cut pork neck grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-12-w91ks-519.webp) ![Sliced grilled pork neck and short rib flap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-13-1d9t0-517.webp) Next was the pork neck and short rib flap! I personally like thick-cut pork neck over thin slices, and here it came pretty thick too. I cut it up well and grilled it — juicy without being dry at all. I actually think a well-grilled pork neck can beat samgyeopsal (pork belly), and this one was really delicious haha. ## The half-and-half naengmyeon (cold noodles) included in the set ![Bowl of half-and-half naengmyeon included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-14-1lfyk-522.webp) The half-and-half naengmyeon that came with the set arrived too. This was my first time having half-and-half naengmyeon at a BBQ place, and being able to enjoy mul naengmyeon (cold broth noodles) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed noodles) at once is really such a good idea...!! A bite of meat, a bite of naengmyeon — meat and naengmyeon really are the best combo haha. Between the two, bibim naengmyeon suited my taste a little more! It was spicy, so eating it alongside the meat kept things from feeling too heavy, and it was delicious haha. ## Finishing with kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi) fried rice ![Kkakdugi kimchi fried rice on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set-15-1mh3e-519.webp) Last but not least, I tried the diced radish kimchi (kkakdugi) fried rice! It came pre-cooked and was placed straight onto the grill. It was spicy and salty, perfect for finishing off after the meat! Even though I was full, the fried rice still found room to go in haha (stop eating already...) ## Is the Hongdae terrace at Gogikkun Gimchunbae worth booking? Gogikkun Gimchunbae Hongdae Supgil Branch was a great place to enjoy Korean BBQ in a pretty setting! From the beef to the pork, the naengmyeon, and the fried rice, everything was tasty overall, and above all, I loved the terrace atmosphere. If I'm ever having BBQ in Hongdae again, I think I'll go for the terrace seats again :) Thanks for another delicious meal 🐹💛 ## Where it is - Gogikkun Gimchunbae Hongdae Supgil Branch (고기꾼김춘배 홍대숲길점) - 31-2 Seogang-ro 13-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 서강로13길 31-2 - 37.5542779, 126.9322166 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B3%A0%EA%B8%B0%EA%BE%BC%EA%B9%80%EC%B6%98%EB%B0%B0%20%ED%99%8D%EB%8C%80%EC%88%B2%EA%B8%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5542779,126.9322166,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@roast-letter/hongdae-yajang-bbq-hanwoo-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
