About
Spacious Korean barbecue spot in Myeonmok-dong known for tender marinated pork ribs served alongside spicy raw crab and an extensive banchan buffet.
Tucked along Myeonmok-ro just five minutes from Sagajeong Station, Souga operates with the generous hospitality of a classic neighborhood charcoal grill. Marked by its expansive glass front and dedicated on-site parking, the restaurant caters easily to multi-generational gatherings, offering partitioned seating and private rooms that fill up quickly with local families celebrating birthdays or weekend reunions. The undisputed centerpiece here is the seasoned pork ribs (*dwaeji-galbi*). Thickly sliced with deep marinades that hit a balanced note—neither cloyingly sweet nor overly salty—the meat cooks over live charcoal, yielding tender bites with plenty of juices intact. Diners typically wrap the grilled ribs in fresh lettuce alongside pajeori (scallion salad) and charred garlic cloves, before concluding the meal with chilled bowls of tangy *mul-naengmyeon* (cold broth noodles) or rich soybean paste stew. Beyond pork ribs, the menu covers raw pork belly (*samgyeopsal*), Hanwoo beef, and hearty lunch staples such as *galbitang*, which arrives with substantial short ribs in a clean, milky broth. What truly sets Souga apart from stripped-down modern barbecue spots is its sprawling banchan spread. Before the charcoal even arrives, tables fill with over ten neat side dishes: springy warm japchae, acorn jelly soup (*muksabal*), geotjeori kimchi, seaweed salad, and pickled vegetables. Most notably, the restaurant still serves spicy marinated raw crab (*yangnyeom-gejang*) as a standard complimentary banchan—a rarity in today's dining landscape. The sweet and fiery kick of the crab pairs naturally with the savory grilled pork, leading many diners to pay for secondary orders of the crustacean. A central self-service bar lets guests freely replenish most side dishes, daily soup, and seasonal fruit before heading out past the post-meal coffee machine. Broad, comfortable, and unfussy, Souga hits the sweet spot for effortless group dining anchored by old-school Korean barbecue tradition.
