Songpa Korean BBQ lunch with pork and squid: Baekhyang Jipbulgui

I came back to Baekhyang Jipbulgui (백향짚불구이), a great spot near Ogeum Station, because I was craving a delicious, healthy lunch!

Baekhyang Jipbulgui is a place where you can enjoy meat and seafood dishes filled with the aroma of straw fire, and its special flavor with that gentle smoky scent is so appealing. A place to taste the true essence of straw-fire grilling, relying on nothing but fire and aroma! The straw-smoked meat and seafood, along with healthy ssam (fresh wrap) vegetables and a variety of side dishes, made for such a satisfying meal.

It is a place I would want to visit when looking for a special lunch near Ogeum Station, or when I am in the mood for a smoke-filled meal that is a little different from usual.

A clean straw-fire-grill restaurant near Ogeum Station

The exterior already had a modern, tidy feel, and it is conveniently close to Ogeum Station.

With its neat interior, it would be perfect for dining alone, a work lunch, or a family meal. The clean atmosphere made me feel even more comfortable during the meal.

Especially on weekday lunches, there are good-value lunch options ready for a hearty meal.

Ordering weekday lunch pork and squid straw-fire-grill sets

• [Weekday lunch] Straw-fire-grilled pork set ₩14,000
• [Weekday lunch] Straw-fire-grilled squid set ₩14,000

I ordered one spicy seafood dish and one non-spicy meat dish, haha. It was such a nice combination since we could enjoy two different menus together. Since you can have both meat and seafood, it would be great for a group with different tastes too, right?!

There is also a self-service bar, so you can freely refill any ssam vegetables or side dishes you need.

Above all, the ssam vegetables were really fresh and there was such a wide variety, so I could enjoy plenty of them with the meat.

A generous spread cooking over straw fire

🔥 The dishes cooking deliciously over the straw fire, hahaha! 🔥 I loved that every dish at Baekhyang Jipbulgui felt carefully prepared.

Straw-fire-grilled pork with a gentle smoky aroma

The straw-fire-grilled pork had a wonderfully subtle straw-smoked aroma infused into it~

Unlike ordinary seasoned grilled meat, this place adds its own straw-fire aroma, making the flavor so much deeper :)

Wrapping the straw-smoked meat in fresh ssam vegetables was seriously heavenly, haha.

Medium-spicy straw-fire-grilled squid

And I chose the medium-spicy option for the straw-fire-grilled squid.

Grilled directly over straw fire, it had a deep smoky flavor and a wonderfully chewy texture.

The squid looked delicious from the start! Its spicy, chewy flavor made me want a whole bowl of rice, haha.

Eating it with the plump bean sprouts and ssam vegetables that came alongside added a crisp texture and softened the spiciness a little, making it even more delicious.

✔️ Baekhyang Jipbulgui is where you can enjoy both meat and seafood with that straw-fire aroma ☺️

✔️ From the good-value lunch menu to the generous spread, I was so satisfied. If you are looking for a meat spot with a true straw-fire aroma, Baekhyang Jipbulgui! 🔥

✔️ I would recommend it if you are looking for a hearty, special meal near Ogeum-dong 😊
