“Moksal grilled on the cast-iron plate is tender and juicy, and well balanced”

  • Moksal (pork neck)BestEven the front cut is tender and juicy, with lingering sweetness
  • Bon Samgyeopsal (pork belly)For balance, Geumdwaeji's pork belly tastes better
  • Namyeongdon Gabrisal (pork rib-cap, on Geumdwaeji's grill)Tender, but loses some chewiness

Liked

  • Tender, juicy meat
  • Signature green onion sauce paired with basil
  • A modern take on traditional salt-grilled BBQ

Downsides

  • Wide contact area on the grill cooks the meat too fast
  • Thick cuts tend to end up with crumbly lean meat
Tips
