Gangnam · Apgujeong / Seoul-style bulgogi house
Apgujeong Main Branch
한일관
Hanilkwan opened in Jongno in 1939 and moved to Apgujeong in late 2008 after its original building was cleared for redevelopment. It is widely treated as the reference point for Seoul-style bulgogi, thin sirloin in a light soy marinade cooked at the table. The same kitchen also serves a sharp, cold Seoul-style naengmyeon.

Come early, or you'll have to wait for awhile! The meat was so tender that it came right off the bone. I think I ate half of it, along with my soup! The pancake was a delicious appetizer, they pan fried it to perfection.
