I will be reviewing Pungseongjip, one of the top three Chadolbagi (beef brisket) BBQ restaurants in Seoul, located in the Samgakji district. A friend of mine highly recommended this spot for its thickly sliced beef brisket, which might require a reservation to avoid waiting in line.

 

Menu

Apart from beef brisket, Pungseongjip offers other beef cuts such as beef sirloin, as well as pork barbecue like pork belly and neck.

Although the selection of side dishes is limited, they pair well with the meat.

The meat takes a while to come out as it's cut by hand after the order is made. To avoid waiting, we ordered 3 servings of beef brisket and 3 servings of Hangjeongsal (Pork Jowl cut) from the start.

 

Chadolbagi (beef brisket)   29,000 won(180g)

Pungseongjip is famous for its thick slices of beef brisket, which tastes and looks different from other restaurants.​

With thin beef brisket, it's done right away on the grill, but with thick cut like this, it takes longer for both sides to cook properly.

The meat-to-fat ratio was perfect, and there was a nice balance between the chewiness of the meat and the gentle melting of the fat.

The beef brisket tasted great on its own with a little salt, but it was also delicious when eaten over rice.

 

Doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew)  9,000 won

We also ordered soybean paste stew, which had a wonderful scent of the herb shepherd's purse. It would be a tasty meal with some rice.

Hangjeongsal (Pork Jowl Cut)  20,000 won (180g)

Hangjeongsal was also very tasty and had a different texture compared to other pork barbecue restaurants.

I wasn't expecting the pork to taste so good since this place is known as one of Seoul's top three beef brisket places. But, Hangjeongsal was really tasty, even better than the beef brisket.

I wanted to try Yukhoe (raw beef). However, for four people, six servings of meat and soybean paste stew made us so full that we couldn't eat anymore. I will for sure try Yukhoe the next time I go back to Pungseongjip.

The beef brisket is really tasty, but, I highly recommend trying the pork Hangjeongsal.
