Korean BBQ · Itaewon

Jamsugyojip (Haebangchon)

On TVBetter with a group ⓘ

Retro Korean barbecue in Haebangchon, the hillside neighborhood above Itaewon. The specialty is naengsam, thin slices of frozen pork belly that crisp up in seconds on the grill, served on an old-fashioned tray with sides. Finish with kimchi fried rice or a spicy squid stew, and stay late: it's open until 2 a.m.
