Gitteul Hongdae Main
깃뜰 홍대본점 · Korean BBQ
ABOUT
Gitteul is a Korean barbecue restaurant between Hongdae and Hapjeong that focuses on high-quality pork from Icheon. Its main order is the Icheon Pork Assortment, combining pork belly and pork neck, while smaller portions and special cuts such as Gitteul-sal are also available. The restaurant's defining feature is its grilling service: staff pre-grill and finish the meat for diners, making it easier to enjoy the meat without constantly managing the grill yourself. The restaurant sits slightly away from Hongdae's busiest streets and has a more polished atmosphere than a typical neighborhood samgyeopsal restaurant. Recent visitor posts repeatedly mention the quality of the pork, carefully prepared side dishes, and the staff's grilling technique. It is not a budget barbecue option—the 500g assortment is ₩56,000—but the portion is designed for sharing, so the price becomes more moderate when split between two people.
WHAT LOCALS SAY
Recent visitor content consistently focuses on the Icheon Pork Assortment rather than the individual cuts. The meat is brought out partially grilled, then finished by staff who cut and turn it carefully to retain the juices. Visitors particularly mention the tender pork neck, smoky aroma, crisp edges, and the ability to eat different cuts with different salts and sauces. The side dishes are another recurring part of the experience. Visitors mention seasoned perilla leaves, grilled seaweed, dipping salts, ssamjang, and fermented shrimp sauce, with the staff explaining which seasoning works well with each cut. Kimchi bibim noodles, steamed egg, and doenjang or gochujang stew are commonly added to round out the meal. Some recent reviews consider the restaurant relatively expensive, but still regard the meat quality and grilling service as the main reason for the price.

The 500g Icheon Pork Assortment combines pork belly and pork neck and is the most commonly featured main order. Staff handle the grilling, so you can concentrate on eating rather than managing the charcoal grill. Try the pork with the different salts, ssamjang, perilla leaves, and fermented shrimp sauce rather than using only one dipping sauce. Kimchi bibim noodles, steamed egg, and the house doenjang or gochujang stew work well as additions. The restaurant can become busy at dinner and on weekends; recent visitors mention using advance reservations or remote waiting when available.
