Located in an alley in Euljiro, Bogeon-og is a famous eatery serving Seoul-style Bulgogi.

I was really looking forward because there are so many tasty eateries that include a butcher shop like here. This eatery supposedly first opened its doors in the 1970s.

It was packed when we got there, so we had to wait. Thankfully, we got in after waiting for approximately 10 minutes.

We ordered Bulgogi (Seoul-style) which my wife was craving. Other diners were having also Yukhoe Bibimbap, Yukhoe (raw beef), Samgyeopsal (pork belly), and Kimchi-jjigae (kimchi stew). It all looked so tasty.

There were additional seats on the second floor and the ambiance was lively with gatherings of diners and drinkers. Even on the first floor, there were a good number of people enjoying their food paired with some drinks.

 

Bulgogi  18,000 won (per person)

 

Banchan (side dish)

Seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned bok choy, kimchi, green onion kimchi, lettuce & perilla leaves, chili pepper & garlic, stir-fried anchovies.

 

Deliciously riped green onion kimchi

Unfortunately, we only had beef bulgogi, which was a shame because the green onions would have been perfect with grilled pork.

The side dish of fried anchovies was also very delicious.

We were told that if we cook it too much, the beef would become tough.

​Wrap the meat in perilla leaves, pepper, and mushrooms to make a Ssam (Korean-style wrap with meat), then eat it. And drink Somaek (Korean-style cocktail made with soju and beer) at the end.

We added Somyeon (noodles) when we were almost done with the bulgogi.

Lastly, we made fried rice with veggies, sliced green onion kimchi, and stir-fried them. The end of a very delightful lunch.

For 66,000 won, we got 3 bulgogi, 1 soju, 1 beer, 1 bowl of rice, and 1 somyeon.

The person at the table next to me told me that this restaurant's bulgogi is half the price of the popular Wooraeok's. The last time we went to Wooraeok, we had only Naengmyeon (cold noodles) without bulgogi.

Although the meal was delicious, the ambiance of the restaurant made it stand out.  When I got home, I looked online and discovered that Euljiro 4-ga Station is close to many great restaurants.
