Yeouido steak set medium-rare on a mini brazier: Hurato Sikdang

Today I'm writing up my visit to Hurato Sikdang Yeouido, a rice bowl and gyukatsu spot in Yeouido! The gyukatsu quality was great and it was a good place for a draft beer, but also solid for a filling meal in Yeouido. Best of all, the menu had a lot of variety, so it was easy to pick something that suited whatever you were in the mood for~

Where is Hurato Sikdang Yeouido, and how do you get there?

Hurato Sikdang Yeouido is located on the 3rd floor of Yeouido Finance Tower. It's close to Yeouido Station and Yeouido Park, so it was easy to find and the access was great!

Arriving right after break time: seats at Hurato Sikdang Yeouido fill up fast

Most of the seating was 2–4 person tables. I visited right as break time ended, and even then the place filled up with customers fast..!

There were also bar seats near the entrance, which looked great for couples or solo diners who want a comfortable spot to eat.

Ordering by phone at the table with NPC

You can order easily right from your seat using NPC (tableside) ordering. Just tap your phone on the table and you can check the menu and order right away, no need to call over a staff member~

What's on the menu at Hurato Sikdang Yeouido

Here's the menu board at Hurato Sikdang Yeouido. From gyukatsu (breaded fried beef cutlet) to curry to noodle dishes, there was a wide variety, so even if you go with a group, everyone could pick something to their own taste and still eat well.

Before the food came out, they lit the mini brazier so it was already hot and ready by the time the gyukatsu arrived. I liked that they set it up so we could eat everything warm.

What we ordered: the gyukatsu set and the steki set

The gyukatsu and steki sets arrived beautifully arranged.. haha. Meat, rice, soup, sauce, and kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) all laid out generously on the table — it looked appetizing just from the visuals.

Both the gyukatsu and the steki set were served medium rare, and the portion of meat was more generous than I expected, so it was really filling. There were even three different sauces, and dipping the meat into each one gave a different flavor every time!

Now you just place the meat on your personal brazier and grill it to whatever doneness you like. The heat was pretty strong, so even a small piece cooked fast — no waiting around, you could eat right away.

The steki stayed tender even grilled to well-done

Once the meat was cooked, I dipped it in sauce and topped it with a bit of wasabi. The gyukatsu was crispy outside and juicy inside, and the steki was tender and full of juices — really delicious. The steki in particular was the best meat I've ever had at a gyukatsu restaurant.. haha. Even though I was already full, it was so good I kept reaching for more lol. Even grilled to medium well-done, the juiciness was still there, and even at well-done it stayed tender — the meat quality was genuinely excellent..!

Pairing the sets with a Kirin draft beer

So I couldn't resist and ordered a Kirin draft haha. Beer usually fills me up fast so I can't drink much, but the size was just right to pair with the meal, so I could enjoy it without feeling weighed down. In the end I finished it off completely, no leftovers.

On my way out I noticed a super cute clicker at the register and ended up tapping it a few times before leaving (?)
