Hello from Seoul! Today, we are at all you can eat chicken bbq restaurant.
The name of this restaurant is 사계진미(Sa-gye-jin-mi). You can get here from Gangnam station(강남, exit number 10) and it is not too far from Sinnonhyeon station(신논현), too. The detailed address is on the bottom of this page, so please go check it.
Dakgalbi(닭갈비) here is not usual one that we commonly know. That is normally spicy chicken with some vegetables in a big pan.
But today, I will introduce a grilled chicken thigh with charcoal and Korean BBQ grill because it is becoming more popular in Korea these days.
The Price
Can you guess how much it is? It is only $12.20. If you pay an extra $4, you can also drink unlimited soju and beer. Wow…! 🙂
What to Eat
There are 3 types of chicken bbq. The first one is plain Dakgalbi, which is seasoned only with salt and pepper. I can see they only use chicken thighs!
The second one is marinated with soy sauce.
The last one is a spicy one!
Tips on Grilling
When you grill the chicken, you should do it in order! Let’s grill the chicken that is less seasoned first. If you taste the soy sauce marinated chicken or spicy one first, you might hardly feel the taste of plain chicken bbq.
Also, when you put this chicken on the grill, the skin side should be placed on the pan first. It helps prevent the meat from burning and the fat from the skin will make the chicken more flavorful.
+Korean Fried Chicken
What’s more, you can even have Korean fried chicken here. There are 2 types of fried chicken: normal fried chicken & fried chicken with sweet soy sauce.
I don’t know if you know it or not but it really goes well with this sliced green onion.
+Traditional Chicken Soup
I like refreshing and spicy soup, so I will put some chili in it. OMG! It really calls for Soju!
If it is not delicious, what kind of food would it be? If you visit Seoul in cold winter like today, it would be even more perfect food for you 🙂
+Makguksu(막국수)
As always, eating Dakgalbi is not the end! We always hide the highlight like a secret weapon. That is~ Makguksu!
Noodles look a little bit different from the usual ones and the texture is completely different.
When I was a kid, I did not like Naengmyeon(냉면) because it was too chewy and springy. Compared to the normal cold noodles, this is much softer. I can say it is very similar to Japanese-style soba.
Unfortunately, this is not included in the price, but you can enjoy this for only $3.30. It means there is no reason not to have this, right? 🙂
If you have tried only Dakgalbi in a big pan, why don’t you try this different style Dakgalbi? It is getting popular and popular these days in Korea!
Alright, this is it for today and we will see you next time!
