Menu and prices at Seorak Makguksu Chuncheon Dakgalbi

Each table has a tablet for ordering, so we could just look at the pictures and order easily.
We ordered three dishes: charcoal seasoned dakgalbi, charcoal soy sauce dakgalbi, and bibim makguksu.
How did the charcoal dakgalbi and bibim makguksu taste?
As soon as we sat down, they brought over bottled water and wet wipes. It's a small thing, but I really like it when they hand you a hygienic bottle of water like that.
The side dishes came out first in a row — cabbage salad and dongchimi (watery radish kimchi). Personally, the tangy dongchimi and cabbage were great to munch on between bites of dakgalbi.
Lettuce, pickled perilla leaves, pickled radish, yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi), a special sauce, and sliced garlic — all neatly laid out.
When our dakgalbi arrived, I noticed this place uses 100% fresh chicken thigh meat, so the texture was really moist and tender! 🍗✨ And since it's grilled over real charcoal instead of gas, the subtle smoky aroma and juiciness were the best part.
What I appreciated most was that a staff member grilled and set everything up from start to finish, so all we had to do was chat with family while we waited.
Since they grilled it to just the right doneness for us, we could enjoy conversation without any worry about burning the meat 🙌
I tried the charcoal soy sauce dakgalbi first — sweet and savory, so it's a hit with everyone from little kids to grandparents 👨👩👧👦
We also had some rice cakes grilled in between — rice cakes cooked over charcoal are always a treat. So delicious.
The charcoal seasoned dakgalbi wasn't overly spicy either, with deep savory flavor that really got our appetite going. We paired it with the spicy-tangy bibim makguksu!
Picking up a piece of this smoky Yeoju dakgalbi and wrapping it into the bibim makguksu—
—the savory and clean flavors combined into a fantastic combo 💯
