ABOUT
Buchon Yukhoe 2nd Branch, also known as the annex, is a Korean raw-beef restaurant located inside Gwangjang Market in Jongno. It is part of the same restaurant operation as Buchon Yukhoe Main Branch and is situated only a short walk away. The two locations are known for their market-style setting and focused menu of yukhoe and related beef dishes. The signature dish is yukhoe, Korean-style seasoned raw beef served with sesame oil, pear, and other accompaniments. The menu also includes yukhoe bibimbap, yukhoe nakji tangtangi, yuk sashimi, and raw liver and omasum. The regular and special bibimbap options differ mainly in the amount of yukhoe, while tangtangi combines raw beef with chopped live octopus. The annex is a lively, compact market restaurant suited to casual meals and sharing several dishes. Visitors often choose it as an alternative when the main branch has a longer queue, although the annex can also become crowded. It is best for diners who want to experience Gwangjang Market's traditional yukhoe food culture rather than a quiet or formal dining atmosphere.
WHAT LOCALS SAY
The most consistent positive theme in visitor reviews is the freshness and texture of the yukhoe. Diners frequently praise the beef as fresh, tender, and well-seasoned. Some reviewers particularly enjoy the sesame-oil dipping combination and eating the beef with seaweed. The restaurant is often recommended for its raw-beef quality rather than elaborate presentation. Another recurring highlight is the beef radish soup served with the meal. Visitors mention the warm soup as a satisfying accompaniment, and some reviews specifically praise the flavor of the radish and beef. Yukhoe bibimbap is a convenient individual meal, while plain yukhoe and tangtangi are commonly chosen for sharing. The main drawback is waiting and crowding. Reviews describe long queues, especially around lunch and weekend market hours. Some visitors choose the annex because the main branch is more crowded, but the annex may also have a wait. Once seated, food is often described as arriving quickly, and the restaurant operates with a fast turnover. The overall appeal is freshness, generous portions, and market atmosphere—not quiet dining or leisurely service.
