Hello!

Today, I'm sharing my experience at Hyeongje Special Meat Cuts (Yeonnam Branch), a restaurant specializing in unique cuts of meat that I visited while exploring Yeonnam-dong.

I'm a big fan of these special cuts.

It was such a treat to have them after a long time!

Let's get right into the review.

Hyeongje Special Meat Cuts, Yeonnam Branch


Located at 1st floor, 258 Donggyo-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul (Yeonnam-dong)

Business Hours:

Daily: 3:00 PM - 1:00 AM

Last Order: 12:30 AM

You can find it walking into Yeonnam-dong.

It's an 8-minute walk from Hongik University Station (Exit 3)!

As you stroll through Yeonnam-dong, you'll arrive at...

Hyeongje Special Meat Cuts (Yeonnam Branch)!

The answer is meat.

It was a clear answer, indeed.

You can check the various meat menus sold outside like this!

Inside Hyeongje Special Meat Cuts (Yeonnam Branch):


The interior is clean and quite spacious.

Already famous as a 맛집 (delicious restaurant) in Guro.

The Yeonnam branch is newly opened!

I heard that the restaurant was created by meat experts with 20 years of experience.

My expectations are rising!

They even have their own aging cellar.

I thought it was very fascinating.

The restaurant is generally very clean.

Interesting Image

There are seats on the second floor as well, and it's also very spacious.

They are open year-round, only closed on holidays.

They're open until 1 AM except for Sundays, so it seems like a great place for company dinners and drinking.

Menu at Hyeongje Special Meat Cuts (Yeonnam Branch):

Peaceful Scenery

You can conveniently order using a QR code.

There's also a large menu board inside.

They sell both pork and beef, so you can enjoy a wider variety of options.

While there are many Korean BBQ restaurants,

it's rare to find places that specialize in these special cuts.

Making it even more valuable.

Also, they have a diverse selection of side dishes, which is even better.

We ordered the "Pork Platter," 된장찌개 (Doenjang Jjigae - Soybean Paste Stew),

and "Drug Bibimbap"!!

These are the side dishes and sauces that come as a base!

I like to try a variety of things.

And I was happy that there were plenty of sauces and side dishes.

The pickled chili peppers were the best.

And this is just my personal preference.

But I like Korean BBQ places that offer wasabi.

I think it's a sign of a Korean BBQ restaurant that truly knows flavor.

Kimchi to stir-fry, and

Green onion salad and seasoned lettuce to enjoy together!

Ready to eat meat.

Hopeful Tomorrow

This is Korean beef yukhoe (beef tartare) with minari.

The owner kindly brought it to us as a promotion for the opening.

The meat quality was excellent, and the minari had a wonderful aroma.

Being able to eat Korean beef yukhoe like this...

I recommend you go before the opening event ends..

Pork Platter (52,000 KRW):

Consisting of 500g of kkodeulsal (pork neck end), pork skirt meat, pork jowl, and pork shoulder butt.

The pork platter has arrived!!

Mysterious Appearance

Doesn't the meat look amazing?

I was surprised by the color and how beautiful it was.

And the staff kindly explain which cuts are best to eat first!

Grilling and eating diligently in order...

I couldn't say anything other than, "It's so delicious."

Fresh and high-quality meat

doesn't have any unpleasant smell and tastes great.

Can you see that 육즙 (juiciness)?

The reason why special cuts are good

= Each cut has a very different appeal

First bite with salt. Yum!

Valuable Experience

Grilling and eating diligently in order.

Sometimes, I think it's a really good choice to enjoy special cuts of meat instead of pork belly.

Each has a different texture, and the fat distribution varies for each cut.

So, it was nice to be able to enjoy a variety of savory and flavorful tastes...

The feast and blessing of flavors are endless.

It's a shame to miss out on the savory 된장찌개 (Doenjang Jjigae - Soybean Paste Stew).

I need to have some soup again.

Sweet "Drug Bibimbap"

It was unique and delicious!

A different charm that's savory and sweet~

I won't say much, and I'll conclude the review

with this photo.

Happy Moment

That was Hyeongje Special Meat Cuts (Yeonnam Branch) in Yeonnam-dong.

The restaurant is newly opened, so the interior is very clean,

the meat is so delicious,

and the staff are friendly, making it a very pleasant visit!

Impressive Appearance

I still remember the taste of the pork platter.

As expected, it's different since it's already a famous 맛집 (delicious restaurant) in Guro.

I want to earn a lot of money and go again.

I highly recommend it for Korean BBQ in Yeonnam-dong or for company dinners and eating out!

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
