Grill Jonggosan

About

Perched on the 13th floor near Saetgang Station, this spacious Yeouido institution serves Korean grilled meats, whole abalone pot rice, and gulbi sets with scenic views.

Perched on the thirteenth floor of the Ailex Tower near Saetgang Station, Grill Jonggosan is a long-standing Yeongdeungpo fixture that corporate teams rely on for both midday team lunches and evening gatherings. The high-altitude dining room features sweeping Yeouido views and abundant natural daylight, even offering a direct line of sight to the seasonal Han River fireworks. While the restaurant has a single private room, the expansive main hall—capable of hosting well over a hundred guests—is the preferred setting thanks to its airy, comfortable scale. The kitchen moves effortlessly between seafood traditions and classic Korean grill fare. Midday service centers on generously composed sets that arrive with an assortment of home-style banchan, including seasoned cucumbers, acorn jelly, chili-glazed anchovies, ripe radish kimchi, and a crisp salad tossed in bright yuja dressing. The gulbi jeongsik (dried yellow corvina set) delivers mild, tender fish paired with a clean, savory doenjang jjigae and finished with a glass of sweet maesil (plum) tea. Another signature lunchtime highlight is the whole abalone pot rice (jeonbok sotbap), served in a sizzling vessel filled with sliced abalone, ginkgo nuts, zucchini, mushrooms, and shredded seaweed. Guests steady the hot wooden base to stir in the accompanying seasoned sauce, melding the textures before spooning up bites alongside warm soybean paste stew. For those looking to combine land and sea, the lunch menu also pairs abalone pot rice with an 80-gram portion of domestic hanwoo beef. Staff handle the grilling tableside, cooking the beef to medium alongside mushrooms and sliced potatoes, then shredding the tender meat along the grain to serve with seasoned scallions. Whether booked in advance for swift weekday lunch spreads or visited after dark when tabletop grills dominate dinner service, Grill Jonggosan delivers dependable Korean standards framed by panoramic city vistas.
