My husband and I returned for a reserved set, staff-grilled pork belly, kimchi, and fried rice.

From the outside, it feels more like a stylish bar than a Korean BBQ restaurant, right? Haha. There are none of those ceiling ventilation ducts you usually see hanging over every table at a barbecue restaurant, so the space feels wonderfully open! I was amazed by the gallery-like interior on my first visit too, and it was so pretty again that day that I took photos, haha. ![Gallery-like restaurant interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-03-16vja-900.webp) The professionals grill everything over high-heat grills in the kitchen, so the air inside is incredibly pleasant! The tables are generously spaced too, making it ideal for wedding-invitation get-togethers, dates, and work dinners 💛💛 ![Restaurant with generously spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-04-c5omj-900.webp) ![Comfortable duct-free Korean BBQ space](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-05-1limf-900.webp) ## The reservation set and staff-grilled pork When making our Naver reservation, we ordered the pre-grilled set in advance. That means this beautifully set table is waiting for you as soon as you arrive 🤩👍 ![Table set with the reservation set](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-06-159e1-900.webp) There are lots of menu options, so you can always order more as you eat! Honestly, I think every cut of meat at Onggijip is delicious! Haha. ![Onggijip meat menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-07-g85w9-900.webp) ![Meat menu available for additional orders](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-08-16q0e-900.webp) Once you sit down, the staff immediately cook the pre-grilled meat on the tabletop grill! There is absolutely no need to pick up the tongs, so you do not have to worry about conversation being interrupted while grilling or about burning anything, haha. You just wait after ordering and eat—it is so convenient 🤤 ![Pre-grilled meat cooked by a staff member](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-09-1ogvx-900.webp) ![Pre-grilled meat on the tabletop grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-10-58nuh-900.webp) Best of all, you do not have to worry about the smell of grease clinging to your clothes or hair! ## A neat spread and grilled napa cabbage kimchi The side dishes include fresh lettuce and perilla leaves, plus pa-muchim, a spicy-tangy seasoned scallion salad that really wakes up your appetite. Coarse salt and Onggijip's special ssamjang (savory soybean dipping paste) are also provided, so you can enjoy different flavor combinations with each cut 🤩 ![Basic spread of lettuce, perilla leaves, and scallion salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-11-1hr2u-900.webp) ![Coarse salt and special ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-12-19ich-900.webp) One of Onggijip's proudest features is the generously piled-on, nicely fermented napa cabbage kimchi that grills right alongside the meat! ![Grilled napa cabbage kimchi on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-13-12xby-900.webp) It was so delicious that I knew I would be thinking about it once I got home, so we immediately ordered more, haha. ![Additional order of napa cabbage kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-14-16v46-900.webp) ![Grilled kimchi eaten with pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-15-1fxi4-900.webp) ### The first bite with coarse salt For the first bite, definitely just a little coarse salt! Finished over the kitchen's powerful heat, the outside is crisp while the juices stay sealed inside. Dip it lightly in coarse salt with no other seasoning, and the rich pork flavor and savory juices burst across your mouth 🤤 ![Pork belly with coarse salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-16-9e40c-900.webp) ### Add grilled kimchi to a lettuce wrap On one fresh, crisp lettuce leaf, you have to pile on a juicy piece of pork and a big helping of spicy-tangy grilled kimchi, sizzling away in pork fat, haha. ![Lettuce wrap with grilled kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-17-lppqs-900.webp) ## Kimchi fried rice rich with pork fat The cheat-code combination of pork fat plus well-fermented grilled kimchi is a must! As you are finishing the meat, there is one K-dessert you absolutely cannot skip: fried rice. They stir-fry the rice on the grill with kimchi that has soaked up plenty of pork fat :) ![Fried rice stir-fried with pork fat and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-18-igqbq-1200.webp) Savory seaweed flakes and cheddar cheese go over the spicy-tangy fried rice, and even the smell gets your appetite going all over again, haha. ![Fried rice topped with seaweed flakes and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-19-7xe9c-900.webp) ![Kimchi fried rice cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-20-1xgnk-900.webp) How could it not be delicious when they make it this carefully?! When the bottom turns golden and crisp, scrape it up with a spoon for maximum texture and savory flavor. Top it with a little piece of the pork you saved, or eat it with a piece of grilled kimchi, and it is a clean-plate moment! 🤤😂 ![Crispy scorched fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-21-105hn-900.webp) ![Fried rice with pork and grilled kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-22-1p9ky-900.webp) They say you can receive flying fish roe cheese fried rice free by taking part in the Naver review event, so it might be worth joining :) ![Flying fish roe cheese fried rice review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-23-19o0h-900.webp) ![Onggijip Naver review event information](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip-24-116xw-900.webp) ## Where it is - Ongijip Main Branch (옹기집 본점) (압구정 고기집 옹기집 본점) - 3 Nonhyeon-ro 152-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 논현로152길 3 다우빌딩 1층 - 37.5208967, 127.0285486 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%95%EA%B5%AC%EC%A0%95%20%EA%B3%A0%EA%B8%B0%EC%A7%91%20%EC%98%B9%EA%B8%B0%EC%A7%91%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5208967,127.0285486,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@side-dish-pages-3/apgujeong-grilled-pork-kimchi-onggijip/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
