There was no gamey or fishy smell at all, and the texture was super chewy 😋 The yukhoe especially is tossed in a "magic sauce," so maybe that's why the savory flavor just exploded! ![Yakiniku table setting at Yukhoe Gongjakso Sejong University branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break-10-1rbx5-900.webp) ![Yakiniku meat sizzling on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break-11-n1v47-900.webp) ## Yakiniku is best when it's lightly cooked The second dish was yakiniku! It was my first time having it, and maybe because the meat quality is good, this melted in my mouth too.. Personally, I liked it lightly cooked better than fully cooked!! The meat sizzling away,, ![Yakiniku grilled piece by piece by a friend](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break-12-1tun2-900.webp) My friend grilled every single piece for me,, 🥹 My friend is the best! ![Salmon dish at Yukhoe Gongjakso Sejong University branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break-13-1b3c4-900.webp) ![A thick-cut piece of salmon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break/sejong-univ-yukhoe-bar-study-break-14-1ij83-900.webp) ## Definitely order the salmon The salmon at Yukhoe Gongjakso Sejong University branch had the thickness and freshness of a proper raw fish restaurant.

Since the yukhoe is good, of course the bibimbap was super delicious too. I'm usually disappointed because yukhoe bibimbap tends to skimp on the beef, but here there was plenty of yukhoe and it tasted great! ## Yukhoe Gongjakso Sejong University branch as a first-round bar and dinner spot With good-value set menus and hearty dinner specials, I don't think there's a better place for a first-round bar that doubles as dinner.
