Compiled from 2 blog posts read in fullSources →
An all-you-can-eat barbecue place on Yeonsero 5da-gil, a short walk from Sinchon Station. For 16,900 won a head you take steak galbi, pork belly, pork neck, chicken neck and more from a self-serve bar and grill it yourself over charcoal at the table. We read 2 posts, from August to September 2026, and both describe actual visits. With so few posts, every count below is out of two.

What sets it apart
- Both posts describe the signature steak galbi as thick and closely scored; one gives the thickness as 1.5 cm. The '72-hour aging' line is the house's own claim, repeated by a blogger, so we did not count it.
- Nothing comes pre-grilled from the kitchen: both posts grilled at the table over charcoal. One relays a staff explanation that, because of the weather, frozen pork belly is currently also cooked on the charcoal rather than on a separate griddle.
- One post says ordering is done on a tabletop kiosk, which is also how you call for a grill change, and that staff came quickly when they did.
- Both posts say it is close to Sinchon Station; one puts it at about a five-minute walk.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
Neither post describes which floor it is on from experience; only the listed address says ground floor.
Nobody mentions a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller gets in. That means we don't know, not that there is a problem.
Nobody says whether the restroom is inside or whether it is split by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know
- The only opening hours we have are a copied block at the end of one post: daily, 16:00 to 01:30. No second post confirms it, and nobody mentions closing days or last orders. It does not appear to open for lunch.
- Both posts give the same price: 16,900 won per person for the basic all-you-can-eat set. The 18,900 won set with beef shabu-shabu and the roughly 7,000 won beef add-on each come from a single post. Nobody gives a full bill including drinks.
- Neither post waited, but both went early in the evening. One arrived around 5 p.m. and says the room was full about an hour later. We don't know whether there is a wait at peak dinner time.
- One post went with a younger coworker, the other just says two people. No post describes a group or family visit, and the mention of a large private room is one blogger repeating other reviews.
- The phone number, 02-3141-1397, appears only in one post's copied info block. Nobody says whether they take reservations.
