We celebrated a friend’s promotion with thin-sliced pork belly, thick pork belly, soy-marinated crab, one free Hangang ramyeon per person, and ice cream. Verdict: a fun, filling choice for a celebratory group dinner. ## Good to know - **Free perk**: One free Hangang ramyeon per person *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## A Gangnam Korean BBQ restaurant picked for a promotion celebration Since it was a promotion celebration, we wanted somewhere we could sit comfortably, chat, and eat something delicious 👀✨ While looking for a Gangnam Korean BBQ restaurant that could fit a group, we decided on Bongu Hwarro (봉우화로) Gangnam Station Branch 🥩🔥 ![Bongu Hwarro Gangnam Station Branch sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-01-umizb-900.webp) *Here it is!

They really know what they are doing, haha. It was delicious with the seasoned scallion salad 🌿 and just as good wrapped in ssam (lettuce wraps) with garlic for one big bite 🧄🥩 If you come to a Gangnam Station Korean BBQ restaurant, you have to eat meat this generously, right? 😎🔥 ![Green onion kimchi and ssam vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-06-1xi2j-900.webp) Further inside, there is also a lovely little space like this, hehe 🤍🐥 ## Thin-sliced and thick pork belly together We started with thin-sliced pork belly 🔥🔥 Because it was sliced so thin, it cooked quickly once it hit the grill, making it perfect to eat first when you are hungry 🤤 ![Thin-sliced pork belly on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-07-ly4cc-1200.webp) More than anything, the restaurant was spacious and the seating had plenty of room, so it was easy for a group to sit and talk 😊 When you are choosing a Gangnam Station Korean BBQ restaurant for a friend gathering or work dinner, a roomy restaurant is quite an important point, and Bongu Hwarro Gangnam Station Branch was good in that respect 🙌🏻 ![Restaurant seating suited to a group](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-08-1iyo3-900.webp) We watched the thin-sliced pork belly sizzling away and all waited for it to cook faster, haha 😂 Once it was nicely browned and I took a bite, it was savory with a gentle smoky flavor—so good ❤️ ![Thin-sliced pork belly cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-09-1s9s8-900.webp) ![Nicely browned thin-sliced pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-10-ckvz5-900.webp) ### Soy-marinated crab alongside the meat There was another menu item that was quietly such a welcome surprise while we ate the meat: soy-marinated crab 🦀✨ Being able to have soy-marinated crab at a Korean BBQ restaurant made the meal feel even more varied and generous. ![Soy-marinated crab eaten with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-11-m4pki-900.webp) ![Soy-marinated crab side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-12-1gmiw-900.webp) Adding bites of the salty soy-marinated crab here and there went well with the meat and kept my appetite going, ho ho ho 🤭🦀 ![Salty soy-marinated crab accompaniment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-13-10blv-900.webp) ![Soy-marinated crab and meat meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-14-1djtl-900.webp) After properly getting our appetites going with thin-sliced pork belly, we also tried regular thick-cut pork belly 🥩🔥 It definitely had a different charm from the thin-sliced version! ![Order of thick-cut pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-15-1p54m-900.webp) ![Thick pork belly on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-16-1v5jh-900.webp) As the thick pork belly browned on the grill, the outside became crisp while the inside stayed moist, with a great bite 🤤❤️ ![Nicely cooked thick pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-17-wvhk1-900.webp) A large piece was delicious with just a light dip in salt, delicious with seasoned scallion salad, and of course delicious tucked into a ssam with garlic. This is exactly why pork belly is so good 🌿🧄🥩 The thin-sliced pork belly was great for eating quickly, while the thick pork belly was fun to grill slowly, so ordering both was even better 🙌🏻 ![Thin-sliced and thick pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-18-2eff5-900.webp) Celebrating while eating delicious meat made the atmosphere even nicer 🥰 ![Meat meal for a promotion celebration](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-19-fzksk-900.webp) ## One free Hangang ramyeon per person and dessert Another thing I loved about Bongu Hwarro, this Gangnam Station Korean BBQ restaurant, was the Hangang ramyeon (instant noodles cooked at a self-service machine) 🍜❤️ We each got one Hangang ramyeon for free, so we picked one out and diligently cooked our own 😆🙌🏻 We were quite full after eating plenty of meat, but you just cannot say no to ramyeon, can you…? 😂🍜 ![Preparing free Hangang ramyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-20-wqrce-900.webp) ![Hangang ramyeon cooked by hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-21-1polf-900.webp) Bringing a ramyeon each and cooking it ourselves somehow made it feel like eating ramyeon by the Han River 🔥 Taking a sip of hot ramyeon broth between bites of meat was just soooo delicious ㅠㅠㅠ 🤤 ![Hot Hangang ramyeon broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-22-zxywk-900.webp) The salty, warming broth was just right to finish after the meat, and in the end everyone cleared one ramyeon each, haha 🍜🤣 Rather than ending with just meat at a Gangnam Station Korean BBQ restaurant, getting free Hangang ramyeon too made the whole meal more fun 😋 ![Ice cream dessert after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-23-92b9a-900.webp) And we made sure to get dessert too 🍦🤎 To finish the meal, we could sprinkle Joripong (crunchy puffed-grain cereal) over ice cream 😆 It was much better than plain ice cream—the Joripong added a crisp, nutty texture, and it was unexpectedly delicious, haha. ![Ice cream topped with Joripong cereal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen-24-1mwgf-900.webp) One bite of ice cream followed by a crunchy bite of Joripong was just perfect as dessert after the meat 🍦✨ Meat → Hangang ramyeon → ice cream, and I was really stuffed, hahaha 🤣🤣 But since it was a day to celebrate our friend’s promotion, eating delicious things, laughing our hearts out, and talking together made it all the more enjoyable 🎉💕 ## Where it is - Bongu Hwarro (봉우화로) (봉우화로) - 76 Bongeunsa-ro 18-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 봉은사로18길 76 스타팰리스 - 37.5017533, 127.0273416 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B4%89%EC%9A%B0%ED%99%94%EB%A1%9C/@37.5017533,127.0273416,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-placemat/gangnam-samgyeopsal-promotion-ramen/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
