GWANGHWARO
광화로 Gwanghwaro Gwanghwaro joins Gwanghwa, from Gwanghwamun, with ro, a brazier — the tables are set with charcoal braziers after the meat comes out of the oven.
Compiled from 28 blog posts read in fullSources →
A pork grill house on the second floor of a building on Saemunan-ro 9-gil, close to exit 8 of Gwanghwamun station. Neck and belly are part-cooked in a kitchen oven and served with roasted leek, and you finish them on a charcoal brazier at the table. The signature is the Gwanghwaro hansang, 600 g of neck, belly and kkodeul neck, which posts from September 2026 put at 65,000 won. Most diners follow the meat with doenjang stew, kimchi fried rice or cold noodles. We read 30 posts from 29 July to 15 October 2026; 28 are records of an actual meal. One discloses sponsorship, one says the writer paid, and the rest say nothing either way.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- The meat arrives part-cooked. Of the 28 posts that ate here, 27 got oven-roasted meat; the other ordered only the kkodeul neck, which never goes in the oven. At least seven posts note that the platter's kkodeul neck comes raw, separately and first. The 'over 500 degrees' figure is the house's own line; one writer who looked saw the oven thermometer reading 438 and 316. Posts mention the oven step taking a while, one putting it at about five minutes.
- Most posts call it roomy: eighteen say so, and two note the room turns an L-shaped corner further in. One post differed, calling it 'not a large space'. Four mention window seats with a view out. The 70-seat and group-room figures repeat the house's own wording across posts, so we did not count them.
- You order from a tablet or kiosk at the table; nine posts say so. Lettuce, garlic, chilli and ssamjang come from a self-serve bar, and posts repeatedly describe a spread of condiments — shiitake wasabi, low-salt pollock roe, anchovy sauce — with a printed guide to pairing them.
- Evenings can mean a wait. Two posts waited: about ten minutes on arriving at 6:30 pm to a full room, and 'a little' just before 7 pm. A third saw a queue outside while passing after work. Three booked ahead and walked straight in, and one noticed waiting seats by the entrance.

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
19 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 12 of 28 posts |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 2 of 28 posts |
The restaurant is upstairs. Twelve posts describe going up to the second floor, and four of them say you take a staircase on the left side of the building. Posts note a KT shop on the ground floor and a menu board by the entrance.
No post mentions a basement; twelve describe going up to the second floor.
We don't know whether a wheelchair or pram can get in. Four posts say you climb stairs to the second floor, but none mentions a lift or the entrance step either way — that is silence, not a no.
Two posts say the toilet is inside the restaurant, one adding that you pass the oven on the way. Separate men's and women's toilets appear only in copied info blocks, so we can't confirm it.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 30 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- The price may have moved. One post of 16 August 2026 gave 62,000 won for the 600 g platter; seven from 16 September on gave 65,000 won — the lower figure rests on that single post. The doenjang stew is 8,000 won in four posts and 9,000 won in two over the same months. For a sense of a meal: two people paid 75,000 won for the platter, fried rice and a soft drink; four adults with the platter, tartare, stew, steamed egg and noodles paid 'just over 100,000 won'.
- Opening hours come only from copied listings. Eighteen posts agree on 11:00 to 22:00 daily with a 15:00 to 17:00 break, but last orders split between 21:30 (eight posts) and 21:20 (four). Two say it opens every day of the year.
- Twelve posts give the phone number 0507-1496-7522; one gives 02-730-7522 instead. Some copy that bookings go through Naver or Catchtable, and three writers say they booked.
- The same phrases recur. 'Over 500-degree oven', 'about 70% pre-cooked', 'green-tea-fed domestic pork', '70 seats with rooms for 34 and 36' and '60 m from exit 8' appear in the same order, with the same hashtags, across a dozen-plus posts from August to October 2026, yet only one discloses sponsorship. We treat these lines as the house's own copy, not evidence.
