It's Bangiok, a place that grills meat!

Atmosphere, Seating, and Cleanliness
I found it quite cozy inside, surprisingly!
The seating is divided by partitions, making it feel relatively private.
However, you can hear everyone's voices, so soundproofing is not great.
On the bright side, the restroom was clean!
Menu Notes and What We Ordered
The menu featured beef and pork.
We ordered a platter from Bangiok and then focused on pork dishes.
Although I couldn't take pictures, they offer corkage-free service if you leave a review on Naver.
We brought a bottle of port wine and enjoyed it.
The restaurant also sells a variety of wines, and they provided wine glasses as well.
Side Dishes and Stew
The side dishes were delicious!
Pickled fern, radish pickles, and white kimchi were all tangy and perfectly suited my taste.
Everything was tasty, and refills were available!
They served two portions of soybean paste stew, so we had to share them side by side.
Grilling and Meat Quality
Now, let's grill some meat!
The meat was grilled perfectly!
Platter Set Review and Value
We started with the platter set, which included premium ribs, Jeju fried pork belly, and Jeju pork tomahawk.
They grilled the premium ribs first, and we enjoyed them with mushrooms and vegetables.
The beef was incredibly tasty, with a unique flavor!
The fried pork belly and tomahawk were also delicious, with great texture!
Honestly, I felt the platter set was a bit lacking in value, so we decided to focus on pork afterward.
The quality of the grilled meat was excellent, and the ventilation was top-notch, so there was no lingering smell.
