Jongno Korean BBQ set with kimchi fried rice, short indoor wait
Meongseokjip Jongno 3-ga Branch is a yajang-style (outdoor grill) Korean BBQ restaurant tucked into an Ikseon-dong alley in Jongno, Seoul. With a long wait for the outdoor terrace, the writer sat indoors under an open ceiling and ordered the Meongseok Set (aged pork belly for two plus flower pork collar) with doenjang jjigae and kimchi fried rice. The indoor seats still show the sky, so if you want to skip the wait, they're a solid choice.
