About
Fresh yukhoe and salmon, plus charcoal-grilled yakiniku, in a dim Japanese-style room with private booths.
Raw beef and salmon share the bill with little charcoal braziers at Yukhoe Gongjakso, where the room has the low light and warm wood of a Japanese-style izakaya. Partitioned booths give dates and small groups some privacy, while the grill adds a faint smoky smell to the sharper, clean taste of the raw dishes. It is a drinking spot as much as a dinner stop, and it stays open well past the last train-hour rush: daily from 17:00 to 06:00. Start with yukhoe (육회), ₩9,900: fresh beef with sesame and vegetables, praised for having no gamey smell. For a mix of raw beef and fish, the owner recommends raw salmon yukhoe (생연어육회), ₩26,900; salmon sashimi (연어사시미), ₩22,000, is a simpler choice, served with wasabi, soy and tartar sauce. If you want something hot alongside, beef yakiniku grilled over a small brazier (소고기야끼니꾸화로구이) is ₩11,900. The charcoal brings a smoky edge, and reviewers mention refillable beef-bone broth as a useful counterpoint to the raw plates. Naver reservations are available, and groups are accepted; book ahead if you want to secure a booth. The restaurant is open every day, so late-night timing is unusually flexible. Parking is available, but the lot next door is a paid mechanical lot at ₩3,000 per hour; street parking near Hwayang police box may be free, but is unreliable. Come for a date, a small gathering, or a solo drink with food. The main caveat is the lighting: some visitors find the interior very dark, which suits quiet conversation more than careful inspection of your plate.
