After cycling from Bulgwangcheon to Haneul Park, I had pre-grilled pork belly, makchang, and doenjang-jjigae, with grilled green-onion kimchi as the standout pairing.

There are plenty of dishes to enjoy alongside the meat, and the pre-grilled meat is delicious—so let me introduce this place in detail! ## Mapo Gui Madang Bukgajwa Direct Branch: location and parking Name: Mapo Gui Madang Bukgajwa Direct Branch Address: 2 Geobukgol-ro 23-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea Hours: 16:00–22:30 (Closed Mondays) ![Exterior of Mapo Gui Madang Bukgajwa Direct Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-02-5hgn5-966.webp) Mapo Gui Madang, a Korean barbecue restaurant in Bukgajwa-dong, is a 10-minute walk from both Jeungsan Station and Digital Media City Station. ### Is parking available? There is room for around three cars beside the restaurant. If spaces are unavailable, please use a nearby public parking lot. ## A comfortable interior for get-togethers and team dinners I arrived right as the restaurant opened, so I was able to photograph the whole space. With neatly arranged tables and grills lined up nicely, it would be great for a gathering or company dinner, right? ![Restaurant interior with neatly arranged tables and grills](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-03-18w2i-966.webp) When I stepped inside, the first thing I noticed was how much larger and roomier it was than I expected. The tables were spaced comfortably apart, making it easy to chat over a meal, and the whole place felt clean and orderly. ![Restaurant interior with comfortably spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-04-y9mqn-966.webp) Round tables and comfortable chairs made it a nice setting to grill meat with friends or family. One side of the restaurant displayed the menu and added that warm, familiar feel unique to a Korean barbecue spot, making it easy to drop in without any fuss. ![Korean barbecue space with round tables and chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-05-cur1b-966.webp) Natural light streamed through the large windows, so the interior felt bright and open. Rather than overly formal, it was a space that suited the idea of enjoying delicious meat comfortably at a Bukgajwa-dong Korean barbecue restaurant. ## Gui Madang menu and prices Check the Gui Madang menu and place your order with the staff ^^ ![Gui Madang menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-06-1jjcw-966.webp) ![Gui Madang menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-07-qbozj-966.webp) ![Gui Madang menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-08-13k61-966.webp) ![Gui Madang menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-09-1w69e-966.webp) ![Gui Madang menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-10-1mgff-966.webp) ![Gui Madang menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-11-1yne7-966.webp) ![Gui Madang menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-12-1gx6p-966.webp) - Frozen pork belly: ₩9,900 - Whole pork belly: ₩13,900 - Whole pork neck: ₩13,900 - Whole makchang (beef large intestine): ₩13,900 - Spicy stir-fried webfoot octopus: ₩13,900 - Fried rice: ₩5,000 - Jjagyechi (instant noodles with black-bean sauce and cheese): ₩5,000 - Minari (water celery): ₩3,000 - Green-onion naengmyeon (cold noodles): ₩9,000 - Gosari (bracken fern): ₩3,000 - Bibim-naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles): ₩9,000 - Soju: ₩5,000 - Beer: ₩5,000 - Soft drinks: ₩2,000 ## Ordering pre-grilled whole pork belly and makchang ### What we ordered - 2 servings of whole pork belly - 1 serving of makchang - Doenjang-jjigae and soju ![Order of whole pork belly and makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-13-dkjeq-966.webp) > A pork belly specialty restaurant where the meat is deliciously pre-grilled over Chiaksan charcoal, then sizzles away on a natural-stone grill. Once you order, the staff first grill the food deliciously for you. And then~ they cut up the thick whole pork belly on the well-heated grill and cooked it again for us. ![Thick whole pork belly on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-14-scul8-966.webp) And then~ they grilled the green-onion kimchi and kimchi too, both of which were so delicious even on their own. ![Green-onion kimchi and kimchi grilling with whole pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-15-1jfcs-966.webp) I also ordered delicious doenjang-jjigae (soybean-paste stew), which is a must when eating meat~ After a while, you start craving something hot and brothy, you know~ ![Doenjang-jjigae ordered with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-16-14xjt-966.webp) ![Whole pork belly accompaniments and doenjang-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-17-1ikih-966.webp) If you like the pairing of whole pork belly and green-onion kimchi, I recommend eating them together too ^^ My husband, who does not usually eat much green-onion kimchi, kept eating it with the meat, saying it was delicious~^^ ![Whole pork belly paired with green-onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-18-125b3-966.webp) ### Golden-grilled makchang and the house special sauce I ordered makchang because pork belly alone felt like it would be a shame~ The makchang also arrives pre-grilled, then gets another turn on the grill. ![Pre-grilled makchang cooking again on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-19-zb9om-966.webp) Makchang has that wonderfully chewy bite of its own, and when it is grilled until golden, a savory flavor really comes through. ![Golden-grilled makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-20-1f8az-966.webp) ![Grilled makchang with house special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard/bukgajwa-samgyeopsal-pakimchi-mapoguiyard-21-10zdn-966.webp) The nicely golden-grilled makchang is even more delicious when dipped in Mapo Gui Madang's house special sauce. ## A meat meal after riding along Bulgwangcheon If you are cycling along Bulgwangcheon and looking for a delicious Korean barbecue restaurant, how about visiting Mapo Gui Madang Bukgajwa Direct Branch in Bukgajwa-dong?
