Euljiro Yeontan Gui Luone City Branch: waiting list and free parking

Euljiro Yeontan Gui (을지로 연탄구이) Luone City Branch is a briquette-grill BBQ restaurant in Luone City, Incheon, and this was already my third visit. There is sometimes a wait, but if you write down your name and number they contact you, which is convenient, and you can park for free in the underground lot.

The prices are so friendly that it's an easy place to go. I even run into someone I know every time I go to Euljiro Yeontan Gui ..haha.. That's how famous a spot it is in Luone City.

What's on the Euljiro Yeontan Gui menu?

Euljiro Yeontan Gui is known for pork and beef, but it's also famous for seafood. In autumn, the salt-grilled king prawns are the thing to get!

This is the menu board at Euljiro Yeontan Gui in Luone City. It's an old menu, so prices have gone up by about ₩500 now, but it's still really cheap.

• Meat: pork belly, pork neck, pork jowl, makchang (pork intestine), beef short rib, beef toshisal

Free side dishes and the self-serve bar

The side dishes at Euljiro Yeontan Gui are really lavish too. Pickled onions, ssambu (pickled radish wraps), seasoned lettuce and more, a good variety that goes well with the meat.

The bean sprouts, kimchi, garlic and pineapple placed on the grill can be grilled and eaten too. And the signature side dish of Euljiro Yeontan Gui: icy shredded radish salad!!!!!

Side dishes are unlimited at the self-serve bar right in front :)

Round 1: beef chuck flap tail and beef rib finger

At Euljiro Yeontan Gui we start with beef. We ordered toshisal (chuck flap tail) and galbisal (short rib meat), and toshisal is my number-one pick. Beef of this quality for under ₩10,000, isn't that a total bargain . . . ♥

And this is amazing.... the beer and soju come in a bucket full of ice. You can drink it ice-cold down to the very last glass. What a clever touch . . ...!!

Maybe because I hadn't had beef in a while, I was so excited . . . . Beef of this quality at this price.. I was so satisfied.

They grill it for you nicely! It's beef, so it wasn't cooked for long.

The grill and briquettes are so hot that the beef turned golden brown quickly. They pressed it firmly on both sides so the juices wouldn't escape.

Beef that makes your mouth water just looking at it .... How is this beef under ₩10,000 . . ?

They snip it into bite-size pieces. Wow . . . the juiciness is insane.. One bite and you're truly happy. The taste of stress melting away..

I always eat rice with meat. Beef and rice is love, whenever I eat it . .. Your whole mouth gets happy with every bite.

Honestly, I don't usually wrap beef in lettuce, you know? But there were so many tasty side dishes that I wanted to try different fillings and make a nice wrap. It was delicious, of course. Now that I know this taste, I want to eat it again even while writing this.. my mouth is watering..

How do you get more icy radish salad?

The icy shredded radish salad at Euljiro Yeontan Gui isn't at the self-serve bar, so ask the staff and they'll refill it for you!!! This is the real kicker. Please, please try it. The bean sprouts are good too.

2,500-won doenjang stew and grilled pineapple

We ordered doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) at Euljiro Yeontan Gui too. It was ₩2,500. Insane value, right ..!!

It had tofu, zucchini and various other ingredients, and it tastes really refreshing, cutting right through a greasy stomach.

Whenever I go to Euljiro Yeontan Gui I always grill the pineapple. At first I just ate it as it was, but the men at the next table were grilling theirs. They knew food better than we did. Since then I grill it, and it's jmt (insanely delicious).

Round 2: more beef rib finger; round 3: pork jowl

Next is round 2, the beef short rib. The short rib at Euljiro Yeontan Gui comes cut into bite-size pieces, so grilling it is super easy.

Luone City BBQ favorite Euljiro's short rib . . . again so delicious.. The texture is chewy and nutty.

Next is round 3, pork jowl (hangjeongsal). The jowl is also chewy and amazing again..

It's really so good. Euljiro Yeontan Gui is worth waiting for. We waited about 20 minutes this day and the time wasn't wasted at all.

Free hangover ramyeon with the review event

The hangover ramyeon at Euljiro Yeontan Gui is free if you join the review event!!!!! It's packed with dried pollack and bean sprouts, and one sip of the broth really cured my hangover. Seriously crazy good. Be sure to join and finish with the hangover ramyeon.

Is Euljiro Yeontan Gui Luone City Branch worth a return visit?

Euljiro Yeontan Gui is a Luone City pork and beef spot where you can enjoy beef in the ₩9,000 range to your heart's content. Every time I go I'm surprised by the prices and by the taste. All the dishes this time were a success too!!!

The one regret is that the restaurant is always full of customers, so I couldn't take photos of the interior. A blogger to the bone, sadly.. Next time I'll come right at opening and take pictures of the inside too, okay?
