HBC go-gi--jip (고깃집)

HBC go-gi-jip (고깃집)
서울 용산구 신흥로2길
tel: +82-2-796-5528

what was consumed: all you can eat k-style bbq (sirloin) on monday nights!

beef is expensive in korea. the "all-you-can-eat" mentality of the korean bbq that is ubiquitous in so.cal is not so common here. and yes, i think it's true, that beef is sometimes tastier from other places (in fact, lots of the beef here in korea is not from here. it's from the US or australia or new zealand or or or). but that doesn't matter. korean bbq is korean bbq and there's something really awesome about eating korean bbq IN korea. and so, i was so happy to go to HBC go-gi-jip.

now, i've only been to go-gi-jip (and to both of the locations that are near my home) on mondays because on mondays, they do an all-you-can-eat sirloin day (they do all-you-can-eat pork belly on thursday). i hear they're affordable on regular days as well. anyway, you have 1 1/2 hours to sit and eat as much as you can. and i surely do! you cook your own meat and wrap it in a bunch of greens. YUM. because, you know, sometime you just want to eat lots and lots. or, for me, that's just another day in my life. ha!
