First-hand: what a Seoul restaurant owner ordered here and what it cost.
A second-floor seafood pocha in Bangi-dong, a short walk from Jamsil, set up like a fish-market bar. The menu is sashimi platters, grilled shrimp, sea squirt and sea cucumber; the shrimp is cooked under a glass lid in a pan at your table and the lid comes off when it is done.
A gopchang grill house in Bangi-dong, a short walk from Jamsil, where staff grill the beef intestines at your table. The assorted platter puts gopchang, daechang and makchang on one pan, and Google reviewers mention a clean room, quick table turnover and a fried rice finish cooked in the same pan.
