Yuk Tongryeong Myeongdong Main Branch

Yuk Tongryeong is a Korean BBQ restaurant in central Myeongdong specializing in aged black pork, with its most recognizable dishes built around thick-cut ogyeopsal and samgyeopsal. The restaurant ages its black pork for around 15 days and grills it over charcoal, giving the meat a combination of rich pork flavor, crisp exterior, and a substantial, chewy texture. Its signature 15-day aged black pork ogyeopsal is currently one of the restaurant's main menu items, while moksal, samgyeopsal, and handmade galbi provide easier alternatives for groups with different preferences. The restaurant is particularly convenient for travelers because the staff grill the meat for you, making the experience much less intimidating for visitors who have never used a Korean BBQ table grill. The location is only a short walk from Myeongdong Station and the restaurant is accustomed to international visitors, with foreign-language menus available according to restaurant information. This makes it a practical introduction to Korean BBQ when you want the classic combination of charcoal-grilled pork, side dishes, dipping sauces, and a busy Korean dining atmosphere.
