Tourist favorite

Korea time, from recent reviews. Hours may differ on holidays.

A Yeonnam-dong barbecue place whose name means "the pig that eats grass": thick pork belly grilled for you with heaps of minari (Korean water parsley), eaten wrapped in pickled radish instead of lettuce. Nearly everything on the short menu comes with minari, and it is a regular stop for foreign visitors exploring Yeonnam-dong.
