The signature platter: seasoned wagyu short rib, 800g for 69,000 won
What I ordered at Yuksik Wang was the garlic-bomb seasoned wagyu short rib platter, 800g. It costs ₩69,000.
The moment the platter arrives, the sheer portion size catches your eye, and with a mountain of minced garlic piled on top, the visual impact is real.
What I liked most was how tender the meat was.
Even grilled over charcoal, it wasn't chewy at all — soft enough that I kept reaching for another piece.
If you dislike the tough, chewy texture beef can sometimes have, I'd recommend this place.
The short rib meat at Yuksik Wang in Icheon was so tender it practically melted the more you chewed — really impressive.
Piled with garlic and grilled over real charcoal
Once the meat hits the charcoal, it sizzles away and picks up that proper smoky charcoal aroma.
Grilling the generous pile of garlic alongside it adds a sharp, sweet garlic flavor that pairs really well with the short rib.
The seasoning isn't overly sweet or intense either — it's a mild, subtle marinade flavor.
It goes well with rice, and it's just as good as a drinking snack.
Grilling mushrooms and cheongyang peppers alongside the meat makes for a much better meal than just eating meat non-stop.
Side dishes and steamed egg: what comes with the meat
The spread that came with the meat was solid too.
There's a fluffy, puffed-up ttukbaegi gyeranjjim (steamed egg in a stone pot),
along with scallion salad, kimchi salad, and corn salad.
There's also soy sauce, pickled chili, and fresh wasabi to pair with the meat. The charcoal-grilled short rib was so tender that even though 800g seemed like plenty, it vanished in no time — pure magic!
The texture wasn't chewy at all, more melt-in-your-mouth, so my chopsticks kept going back for more. It's a generous, great-value portion, yet somehow we cleared the whole platter.
Why Yuksik Wang stays busy with Icheon diners
After visiting in person, I could see why this popular Icheon restaurant draws so many customers.
The meat is tender and the portion is generous, all for ₩69,000 for 800g — really great value.

It's not just a meat-only spot — it works well as a proper meal with rice too.
In the evening, the atmosphere suits having a drink as well.
It's a place that works well as a BBQ restaurant, a bar, and a meal spot all in one.
On busy days there can be a wait, so it's a good idea to plan your visit time with a bit of buffer.
Review event: free spicy grilled chicken neck or pork skin
I also took part in the review event and tried the spicy chicken neck.
After eating short rib, grilling up spicy chicken neck over charcoal offered a whole different appeal. The spicy seasoning perked up the palate, and it paired well alternating with the short rib.
Adding the review event menu on top made the whole spread even more generous.
