And here’s this place’s special secret weapon! They bring out house-made danggui jangajji (pickled Korean angelica) 🌿 Its gentle angelica aroma cuts through the richness of the meat, and the pairing is simply spot-on. Haha. ![Kimchi, wrap vegetables, and pickled Korean angelica side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-danggui-samgyeop/apgujeong-rodeo-danggui-samgyeop-14-2y8hx-966.webp) ## Bone pork belly finished by the owner after robot pre-grilling This is the biggest draw at Chobeoljip Apgujeong Rodeo Branch (초벌집 압구정로데오점)!!!
