Sajikro Seoul
사직로 서울 Sajik-ro is the street the restaurant stands on, the road named after the Sajik altar to the gods of earth and grain just west of Gyeongbokgung; the name is simply that street plus Seoul.
Compiled from 13 blog posts read in fullSources →
Sajikro Seoul is a short-rib and Pyongyang naengmyeon restaurant on the second floor of 127-14 Sajik-ro, about a minute's walk from exits 3-1 and 4 of Gyeongbokgung Station (Homeboy Seoul occupies the ground floor of the same building). The draw is marinated beef short rib grilled over oak; in 2026 posts it costs 31,000 won a portion with a two-portion minimum, and a set of two portions plus seasoned minari and two bowls of after-meal naengmyeon is 82,000 won. Cold and spicy naengmyeon are 13,000 won, and one regular comes only for the minari soup and noodles. We read 30 posts from November 2024 to October 2026; 13 record an actual meal here. We set aside 14 that were about other businesses in the same building or on the same street (Homeboy Seoul, Dongwon Chamchi, Paru and others), and 3 were entries in multi-restaurant lists. Six writers said they paid themselves; none disclosed sponsorship.

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
- Evenings often mean a wait. The five posts that waited recorded 15, 30, 30, 30 and 40 minutes. You register on CatchTable at the second-floor entrance, or remotely in the app beforehand. One writer who arrived at 6:10 on a Friday as number four waited 30 minutes and saw the waitlist close entirely from 6:30; another who registered at 5:50 with two parties ahead and a 20-minute estimate got in after 40, and watched the list close and reopen. Two posts walked straight in, on a Saturday at 1 pm and on a weekday evening. A third who got in at 7 pm on a weekday added that lunch usually has a fair queue.
- The meat is not cooked at the table; it arrives already grilled from the kitchen, as three posts noted, one after about a ten-minute wait. One writer regretted that it comes on an ordinary plate and cools quickly.
- Four posts received a free doenjang stew through a Naver review event. One explained that staff don't check for the review first; they hand you the receipt as you pay and ask you to write one then. In the November 2024 post the stew was ordered separately for 6,000 won.
- Ordering is done on a device at the table: four posts used a table-order screen, kiosk or tablet at their seat, and one noted that the three-person rib and doenjang set appears only on that kiosk menu.
2 more
- Five posts found the room large or the tables comfortably spaced, and two noticed a separate room-like area suited to groups. One writer, by contrast, thought there were fewer tables than expected.
- Five posts said it is right by Gyeongbokgung Station; one gave the route as out of exit 3-1, past the Kim Bong-su naming office and about a minute in to the green sign.

Parking is unclear. One post saw a parking space on the ground floor; another heard it was cramped and saw signs pointing to nearby paid lots. Other posts list parking as available or unavailable in copied info boxes, which we did not count.

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
Five posts said it is right by Gyeongbokgung Station; one gave the route as out of exit 3-1, past the Kim Bong-su naming office and about a minute in to the green sign.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 4 of 13 posts |
|---|---|
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 4 (of 13 posts read) |
The restaurant is upstairs: four posts describe going up to the second floor, and one said parked cars were hiding the entrance.
No one said whether the way up to the second floor is stairs only or has a lift, or whether there is a step at the door. That means we don't know, not that there isn't one.
No post said where the toilet is or whether it is separated by gender.
No one mentioned: 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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 16 posts we gathered, 3 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
- Prices have gone up: the November 2024 menu had the oak short rib at 29,000 won a portion and the medium eobok hot pot at 38,000; in 2026 posts they are 31,000 and 45,000. Three posts called it expensive, while one thought the 82,000-won set for two was good value. One noted that rice is extra.
- Opening hours: five 2026 posts give 11:00 to 21:00, and one has lunch starting at 11:30. Five give a 15:30 to 17:00 break, and three a lunch last order of 14:00 on weekdays and 14:40 at weekends. The November 2024 post had 11:30 to 21:00 with a 15:00 to 17:00 break, so the hours have changed since. No post mentions a closing day.
- Company doesn't point one way: two posts went with friends, one with two colleagues for a wedding-invitation dinner, one with a partner.
- Two phone numbers appear: 0507-1345-4371 in two posts and 02-733-4371 in one. On reservations, one writer had only heard that CatchTable takes walk-in waitlisting only; no post describes booking ahead.
- One writer found a shard of glass in the scallion salad. It is a single report, so we can't say whether it is a recurring problem.
- Many posts repeat that the restaurant won Pungja's 'Ttoganjip' show; that is hearsay and we did not count it. One writer saw a poster and autograph from chef Lee Won-il of the show Matdosa 211 on the way out.
