The staff grill the meat themselves in a separate grilling area and bring it out, so you do not have to grill it at the table. Totally great 👍👍 But it does take a little time.

The large Korean pork salt-grilled platter for four women

Finally, the meat came out!! The four of us ordered the selected Korean pork salt-grilled large platter, 900g for ₩75,000.

It looked a little short, so we were about to order more.

But the rest of the platter had not come out yet; I liked that the platter lets you have both samgyeopsal (pork belly) and moksal (pork neck). The outside was nicely browned while the inside stayed juicy!

The combination with the minari (water parsley) and aged kimchi that come with it is seriously so good 🌿 The pork itself was delicious, but I especially liked that it arrived at its tastiest doneness without us having to grill it ourselves.

My girls enjoyed it so much. We added pork skin too (₩9,000), and it was insanely delicious.. It was so good I could not even take a photo.

Special kimchi fried rice with added snow cheese

🧀 Special kimchi fried rice + added snow cheese, ₩8,000. And I seriously, seriously recommend adding snow cheese to the kimchi fried rice…. 👍👍👍👍

We said we were full after the meat, but once that savory cheese was piled generously over the kimchi fried rice, somehow this went down too. The girls I went with raved about it the moment they tried it, saying it was seriously delicious!

I recommend adding snow cheese rather than having the kimchi fried rice plain 🧀🔥
