To find a Korean beef charcoal grill restaurant like this in Gangnam, Seoul at non-Gangnam, Seoul prices is a real special find. You can order a so-called half cow here, an assortment of different parts of the cow that fancier places have started calling beef omakase and charging multiples more.

They also have the dessert nengmyun, basically a half-portion nengmyun to be eaten on top of a belly full of meat. The nengmyun here is Hamheung style.

It's special also in that it is next door to a private art gallery owned by friends of mine, housed on property belonging to their grandfather, once infamously rented out (unknowingly) to the hottest private gamling parlour operator in Korea.

If only those walls could speak...
