There's a Gangnam Station BBQ place I always think of when I want good meat for a get-together with friends or a date, haha.

You get beef and pork in one go, and the meat quality was amazing, so this is my record of officially approving it as a great Gangnam Station BBQ spot 😋

Chunbae Couple Set: how it's served and how it tastes

For the Chunbae Couple Set (₩71,000), side dishes and charcoal are set out first, then the 450g of skirt meat, boneless short rib and pork belly arrive, and staff grilled it in order from the beef to the pork belly.

The side dishes get laid out (there was myeongina namul, pickled wild greens, which was perfect with the pork belly!) and then the charcoal comes out.

Then our Chunbae Couple Set arrived. Skirt meat, boneless short rib and pork belly, 450g in total, and you can feel the freshness just from how the meat looks, wow.

Staff grill everything from start to finish

The best thing about Gogikkun Kimchunbae Gangnam is that the staff grill all the meat for you from beginning to end 😭 A special service worthy of a Gangnam Station restaurant, haha. Since they grill, you can just chat and be fed, which was so comfortable!

Skirt meat and boneless short rib

They grilled the beef skirt meat first. The smell alone was insane 🤤 The moment I bit into a well-cooked piece, the juices burst in my mouth and it was tender and just melted, hahaha. The staff member was also so kind, explaining the cuts while grilling it perfectly, which put me in the best mood, haha.

Next up, the boneless short rib! Just as tender.

The mushrooms that came with it were cut up at this point and set on the table too, haha.

Finishing with fresh skin-on five-layer pork belly

The raw pork belly still has the skin attached, so the texture is super chewy >< With every bite a rich, nutty flavor fills your mouth, and finishing with pork after the beef means you never get tired of it. A perfect combo, hahaha. Dip it in the scallion salad or the sauce and even when you're full you can't stop your chopsticks 😭
