• Gogi-Gui

In Korean culture, meals are a deeply rooted communal activity with a rich history. This cultural significance is especially highlighted by the popular dining tradition of gogi-gui, or Korean barbecue.When friends gather around a built-in table grill to cook various cuts of meat together, it creates an engaging, shared dining experience that fosters a strong sense of camaraderie.

• Pro (fessionals)

It's in our name: we keep things clear-cut with a premium à la carte menu emphasizing pork and beef cuts, complemented by a classic selection of savory pairing favorites.All of our cuts of meat are meticulously sourced and skillfully prepared using quality ingredients overlooked by all-you-can-eat establishments.

• Samgyubsal

Samgyubsal (삼겹살), or sliced pork belly, is a popular gogi-gui choice. The juicy cut of meat is served unmarinated and unseasoned, relying on two traditional dipping sauces—ssamjang (쌈장) and gireum-jang (기름장)—to enhance its savory richness.

• Expertly Cut

We offer eight cuts of pork alone, highlighted by our specialty cut, beoljib samgyubsal (벌집 삼겹살)—honeycomb-cut pork belly. These thick pork slabs are scored by hand to tenderize the meat and expose more surface area for optimal grilling.

• Ssamjang

A staple in gogi-gui, ssamjang is used with grilled meats wrapped in a leaf of lettuce. The term "ssamjang" (wrapping paste) is derived from "ssam" (쌈), meaning wrapped, and "jang" (장), meaning fermented paste.This bold and flavorful sauce combines a seasoned mixture of soybean paste (doenjang, 된장) and red chili pepper paste (gochujang, 고추장) to create a rich, umami-heavy taste.

• Gireum-jang

Gireum-jang, or oil sauce, is a simple yet highly savory Korean dipping sauce made with toasted sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.The rich, nutty sauce is primarily used to dip cut pieces of samgyubsal or chadolbaegi (차돌박이)—unseasoned, paper-thin slices of beef brisket point, prized for its rich marbling and fast cooking time.
