Geumdwaeji Sikdang
금돼지식당
A highly popular BBQ joint in Sindang-dong, grilling bone-in pork belly on cast-iron plates over briquettes, consistently selected for the Bib Gourmand, with weekend queues often reaching two hours.
Located on Dasan-ro next to Yaksu Station, Geumdwaeji Sikdang is one of Seoul's most sought-after pork BBQ restaurants, consistently featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand from 2019 to 2026. Staff grill the meat for you at the table using cast-iron plates and coal briquettes. The signature cut is the bone-in pork belly (bon samgyeop), and the marbled neck meat (moksal) is also highly popular. The meat is firm, juicy, and rich in flavor. Reservations are not accepted, and a two-hour wait on weekends is common, with substantial queues even during off-peak hours. Expect to spend around 30,000-45,000 KRW per person. It is about a three-minute walk from Exit 2 of Yaksu Station on Subway Lines 3 and 6.
