It's located in the basement of Banpo Shopping Town Building 5! That's where the Hata place is, super familiar to any Banpo kid haha. It had been so long, I was really glad to see it

Clean raw meat with a wet-aging technique — I can't even imagine how juicy this is going to be🥵🔥
Side dishes and the refillable European vegetable salad
From yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi) to myeongi namul (wild garlic leaves), scallions and a special sauce & salad — such a neat spread of side dishes! ヾ(•ω•`)o The salad in particular was made with European vegetables, so the butterhead lettuce and such were super tender and delicious
It went so well with the beef that we even got a refill🤤👍👍
The 400g couple set for two: galbisal, tosisal, usamgyeop
We went as a pair, so we ordered the couple set. ✅️Couple set (₩49,900/400g) — includes: galbisal, tosisal, beef brisket, doenjang jjigae (rice separate). It was well composed for two people to try a little of various beef specialty cuts. And the meat quality was pretty good!! Can't believe you get this quality at this price (★‿★)
Just look at that beautiful color on the meat🤤🤤 The special sauce that came with it was really tasty too. Salty with a bit of tang, so dipping it in between bites kept things from getting monotonous. The finely chopped cheongyang chili (spicy green chili) on top was especially perfect with it
Myeongi namul + beef brisket + cheongyang chili = an express train straight to paradise
Chadol doenjang jjigae packed with ingredients
The doenjang jjigae here is seriously hearty. Packed full of meat and tofu!!!
When you start feeling a bit greasy, a spoonful of this disappears in no time
Ah, so beautiful... The wider piece is tosisal / the smaller one is galbisal
Which cut was best at Ugojip? The galbisal
Personally, the galbisal was the tastiest here for me. Super chewy texture, with juice bursting out with every bite
Dipping the chewy, good-quality galbisal generously into the special sauce paired really really well. Since it's a corkage-free spot, it's such a big plus that you can bring along whatever alcohol you feel like, wine or otherwise, without worry!
The tosisal was also totally hefty yet tender, genuinely delicious. Meat that fills your mouth and bursts with juice — being able to get this level of beef quality at this price was so great (╹ڡ╹ )
Who should book a table at Ugojip in Banpo?
Ate well right up to the last bite at Ugojip! A budget-friendly beef spot I'd want to return to whenever I want a light meat meal around Express Bus Terminal / Banpo. With a baby chair available, it seems good to go with a baby too, and with one bottle of wine corkage-free, it feels even more relaxed to visit ლ(╹◡╹ლ)
Totally recommend it whenever you want beef that's easy on the wallet
