Had 목구멍 for lunch and it wasn’t very crowded when we visited. The minimum order to proceed was 3 portions of meat so we ordered 2 pork belly, 1 pork neck, 2 rice, 1 ramen, and water parsley (for 4 pax). One major plus point was that the staff will help you cook so you don’t have to worry about undercook or overcook the meat. The pork meat was really juicy and tender, and it was really good that we ordered 1 more set of pork belly and pork neck each. Really enjoyed the lunch there and would certainly revisit this restaurant again when I visit Seoul. Highly recommended! [Accurate as of 10 March 2026]

Our favourite Korean food = BBQ! This place definitely has to be on your list if you plan to visit Hongdae. The price is affordable. However do expect a longer wait to get seated during dinner hours as this place is quite famous. We waited during cold weather and they provided us hot pad which is kinda thoughtful. The staff helped us to grill the meat and they taste really good! We have ordered 3 types of meats which is on their menu (pork belly, pork neck and beef).

This Korean BBQ restaurant was surprisingly popular with Thai customers! I originally wanted to visit because I was following in the footsteps of Byeon Woo-seok, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. The weather was quite cold when I visited, but thankfully there were heaters available outside while waiting in line, which made the wait much more comfortable. Once I finally got to try the food, I completely understood the hype. The grilled pork was absolutely delicious, and there were many different cuts and options to choose from. The side dishes were continuously refilled, which was a nice touch. One of my favorites was something called water parsley. Grilled and eaten together with the pork, it was an amazing combination. Another thing worth mentioning is that all the staff who grilled the meat for us were incredibly good-looking. They honestly looked like professional models! If I ever get the chance to visit Korea again, I will definitely come back for another meal. Highly recommended!

To be honest, if u hv tried other BBQ shops ard Seoul, this does not stand out. Food is nice but not until very delicious. Can come but I might stay away for the time being. The place fills up very fast, there are chairs for u to sit while waiting. There are a lot of celebrities who have come to this restaurant as well

Very good quality meats. They serve US beef and Korean pork cuts. Personally the pork neck and the pork belly is very good. The meat portions are cut and sliced upon each order received. Also tried the ramen (hot) and it’s also good. Good service as the staff does the BBQing. Reasonably priced and definitely not a tourist trap. Reservations recommended.
