Gajeong briquette BBQ: 59,900-won mixed platter for two, Euljiro

My husband and I were wondering what to have for dinner, and we suddenly craved briquette-grilled meat, so we headed to Euljiro Yeontan Gui Luone City Branch (을지로연탄구이 루원시티점), a BBQ place known around Gajeong Station haha. That night we had the mixed meat platter and cheese-grilled scallops for a proper dinner :)

How do you get to Euljiro Yeontan Gui Luone City Branch from Gajeong Station?

The restaurant is on the first floor of Samem Tower at 15 Yeomgok-ro 464beon-gil, Seo-gu, Incheon, about a 6-minute walk from Gajeong Station. It's on the ground floor, so it wasn't hard to find..! Parking is available too, so driving there felt easy.

The moment we opened the door, the old-school, retro atmosphere hit us. A faint, toasty briquette smell hung in the air, and as soon as we sat down I thought, "Ah, good choice tonight" haha. It's a perfect mood if you're looking for a BBQ place near Gajeong Station 🔥

How does the briquette-grilled mixed platter taste?

The star of the night was the mixed meat platter (모듬한판). You get several kinds of meat on one plate, so there's less agonizing over what to pick. When it hits the briquette fire, you get that sizzle and a rush of savory fat aroma, and honestly that's the most exciting moment haha.

Briquette heat is strong, so the outside turns golden while the inside stays juicy. When you pop a piece in your mouth, the smokiness hits first, then the meat's own richness builds as you chew. It feels like an extra layer of aroma compared with a gas grill, and I could see why this is considered one of the top BBQ spots near Gajeong Station..!

Since the platter has a bit of everything, the texture changes by cut. Some pieces are chewy, others almost melt, so alternating kept us from getting tired of it and we enjoyed it to the end. It's good wrapped in lettuce, and just as good eaten straight off the grill because the smoky flavor really comes through :)

Are the cheese-grilled scallops worth ordering with the meat?

Definitely order the cheese-grilled scallops (가리비치즈구이) too. We added them because we didn't want to eat only meat, and since Euljiro Yeontan Gui grills seafood as well as meat, the combo worked really well. The scallops come in the shell piled with cheese, and watching it bubble and melt over the fire was a treat for the eyes first.

One bite and the warm melted cheese stretches, followed by the chewy scallop. The cheese's richness and the scallop's subtle sweetness go together nicely, and eating one between pieces of meat felt like it reset my palate so it never got greasy 🧀 Eat them right when they arrive, since the cheese is at its chewiest while hot..!

How much did the mixed platter and cheese scallops cost for two?

We paid ₩59,900 for the mixed platter and cheese-grilled scallops between the two of us. Getting meat and seafood on one table was satisfying, and we left full 🥩 If you're looking for a BBQ place in Seo-gu, Incheon, it's a price that felt easy to go for.

Who is Euljiro Yeontan Gui Luone City Branch good for?

I think it suits people who love briquette smokiness, anyone who wants meat and seafood together, and anyone after a hearty dinner at a BBQ place near Gajeong Station. Just keep in mind that the briquette smoke does leave a bit of a smell on your clothes haha. It was great for the two of us, and since reservations and groups are possible, it also looks fine for a get-together. Next time I think of BBQ near Gajeong Station, this will probably be the first place that comes to mind.
