Gangnam Korean BBQ with grilling service: Deo Bareun Jeongyuk Sikdang

A Hanwoo butcher restaurant I returned to near Sinnonhyeon Station

I came back because this was a place where I had delicious Hanwoo beef at a good value. It is across from Kyobo Book Centre near Sinnonhyeon Station, haha.

Have you been well~? Last time, I ate so well here, and I remembered loving how it was a little casual, yet they grilled all the meat for us and everything was so neat! Wow, corkage is free for one bottle here too. There are lots of wine shops nearby, so next time it might be nice to pick up a bottle and bring it along..!!

Every one of the complimentary side dishes is delicious. All the seats are sofa booths with large tables too, so there is plenty of room to sit comfortably, which I love.

Lettuce salad, green onion kimchi, and white kimchi.

Myeongi namul (pickled wild garlic leaves), radish, and salad. That salad topped with nutty sesame dressing is sooo good, haha.

Hot, sanitized utensils, haha.

The Bareun Whole Cow set and side dishes

Just like last time, we ordered the Bareun Whole Cow set.. The Bareun Whole Cow set (500 g + yukhoe) is ₩139,000. I want to try the Jeju black pork too.. but the Hanwoo is so delicious that I had to have it again, haha. Black pork, I will definitely come back for you next time..

They also sell the Hanwoo by individual cut. The set seemed like a better value, so we chose that, haha. It is affordable because it is a butcher restaurant, and they do not even charge a table-setting fee—amazing~

Alcoholic drinks are ₩6,000. Check out the side dishes too. The ₩11,000 Hanwoo chive rice soup we had before was filling because it was loaded with Hanwoo! Today, we ordered nurungji (scorched rice) soybean paste stew and bibim naengmyeon, haha. Nurungji + soybean paste stew is ₩7,000, and the dessert-sized Hamheung bibim naengmyeon is ₩6,000.

The charcoal arrived~ I prefer meat cooked over charcoal to meat cooked on a pan!!

And here came the Hanwoo~ We had an even selection of sirloin, flat iron steak, rib meat, and brisket flap. The fine marbling looks so delicious ㅜㅜ

Attentive service that grills every piece of meat

The staff grill all the meat for you~ Everyone is so kind too. I was really impressed by how they wore clean uniforms and turned away while grilling so as not to interrupt our conversation—so thoughtful~ It is service like a truly upscale Hanwoo barbecue restaurant, but at a much better value, so this place makes me happy every time I come!

The yukhoe (Korean-style raw beef) included with the set was fresh and tasty too.

The sauces are salt, wasabi, and ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste). I only dip mine in salt. The meat is really delicious, so a tiny dip of salt is best!

They grilled it perfectly and placed it on our plates~ I think sirloin is the tastiest Hanwoo cut >.< The moment I took a bite, it just melted away~ So tender, nutty, and delicious!!

When we had eaten a fair amount, they came over and put the next flat iron steak on the grill. Flat iron steak has more of a meaty flavor. I ate so much beef flat iron steak while dieting that it is not my favorite texture, haha, but maybe because it is Hanwoo, it was still delicious haha.

The next cuts made their entrance too~ I was exhausted after work, so I was happy that everything was grilled perfectly for us ㅠ_ㅠ And those mushrooms were incredibly tender too; the moment I bit into one, it gave way softly and almost tasted like meat, haha. It felt like bonus meat, which was nice haha.

Brothy Hamheung naengmyeon and nurungji soybean paste stew

With all the different cuts, we kept eating without a chance to get tired of it~ We had our meat, so now it was carbohydrate time.

It is Hamheung bibim naengmyeon, but it is a little like mul-bibim naengmyeon, with broth. I loved that I could cool down and drink the broth too!

You know exactly what I mean, right? Haha. The noodles were cool and chewy, and the broth was tangy and refreshing~~

And the soybean paste stew. This was pleasantly spicy and delicious too!

It was heavenly with the warm nurungji~ My second visit was just as satisfying. This is a place I want to recommend enthusiastically to everyone around me! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality meat and service without an overly stiff atmosphere >.<
