Korean BBQ restaurant in Hanam Misa: Gogitri Modeum A pork neck combo

My boyfriend and I were trying to figure out what to eat for dinner when we ended up at a pork restaurant that recently opened in Misa. The reviews kept raving about how good the pork neck was, so I thought, how good could it really be? Well, turns out it's actually amazing.

Where is Gogitri 88beonji Hanam Misa, and what are its hours?

Gogitri 88beonji Hanam Misa Direct Branch is on the 1st floor of 220 Misagangbyeon-jungang-ro, Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, and you can park at Woosung Misa Tower. Hours are Mon-Fri 16:00-22:30, Sat 12:00-22:30, Sun 12:00-22:00.

Gogitri 88beonji Hanam Misa Direct Branch is about a 10-minute walk from Hanam Misa Station, and it's very close to Misa Lake Park.

I visited around 5pm on a weekday, before the main after-work rush, so the restaurant was fairly relaxed inside.

The inside is bigger than it looks from outside, so it seemed like it could easily handle group bookings too.

Gogitri 88beonji menu and prices

Here's what the signature menu at Gogitri 88beonji Hanam Misa Direct Branch looks like.

• Gogitri Modeum A ₩45,000
• Gogitri Modeum B ₩64,000
• Pork belly or skirt meat ₩14,000
• Diced pork jowl ₩16,000
• Pork neck half portion ₩28,000

Ordering is easy through the kiosk at the table. The Gogitri Modeum A combo comes with pork neck, pork belly, and skirt meat on one plate, and Modeum B adds diced pork jowl. What I really loved was that the combo menus include free kimchi jjigae, so I didn't have to separately order doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) or kimchi jjigae.

Besides the set menus, there was also a good range of single cuts like pork belly, pork jowl, and diced pork jowl,

and plenty of side dishes too, like raw makchang (pork intestine), honeycomb tripe, and boneless chicken feet.

And instead of having to walk back and forth to a self-serve bar for lettuce, peppers, and garlic, you just order them through the kiosk and the owner brings them right over — super convenient.

Right now Gogitri 88beonji is running a review event where you get free honeycomb tripe.

We wrote a review and got the honeycomb tripe grilled up — dipped in soybean flour, it's seriously so good. Definitely try it if you can.

Why briquette pre-grilling makes the pork taste better

At Gogitri 88beonji Hanam Misa branch, once you order meat, they pre-grill it over charcoal before bringing it out. It's nice that grilling from start to finish yourself isn't necessary since it comes pre-grilled, which cuts down the cooking time, and because it's pre-grilled over charcoal, you get this subtle smoky aroma that made it even better.

The sauce line-up, including meljeot anchovy dipping sauce

Another thing that surprised me was just how many sauces they had. Beyond salt and wasabi, there's also a savory house sauce and even Jeju melitjeot (fermented anchovy sauce). The meat itself is delicious, but having so many sauces to choose from meant I could dip different cuts in different sauces, which was really nice. Personally, if I only have salt or ssamjang (dipping sauce) with meat, I get a little tired of it, but rotating through all the sauces at Gogitri 88beonji kept things interesting until the very end.

Gogitri Modeum A: the pork neck was the best part

The Gogitri Modeum A I ordered comes with pork belly, pork neck, and skirt meat together, so it was great being able to try several cuts at once. I usually love pork jowl or skirt meat and don't really care for pork neck because it can be dry, but the pork neck here is seriously, seriously good.

I usually eat the less exciting stuff first haha, so I grilled the pork neck first — and it wasn't dry at all, just tender and delicious. I'd seen a lot of reviews saying the pork neck was great, and now I completely understand why. It was so good that I wanted to just order more pork neck and nothing else.

When we asked for more garlic and lettuce, they brought over a ton right away, and grilling the garlic and dipping it in the melitjeot was incredible.

If you're looking for a Korean BBQ spot in Hanam Misa, how about Gogitri 88beonji Hanam Misa Direct Branch? If I go back, I'm definitely ordering pork neck, pork neck, pork neck haha.
