[KOREA] YOOGANE DAKGALBI

Yoogane is one of famous restaurant among local and tourist, speciality in 닭갈비 DAKGALBI, or stirfried spicy marinated chicken. It is originally from Busan but very famous in seoul. It has many branches around popular tourist's spots in Seoul, and now i want to show you 2 branches that i've visited.

HONGDAE BRANCH

163-11 Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul

Hongik MRT Exit 9, go straight then turn left, go straight again till you find H&M turn left.

CLASSIC ORIGINAL DAKGALBI

₩8000/person

Firstly they put big pan in the middle of the table with much marinated chickens and slices of potato inside ( best part : we dont do cook here, the waiter will help stir the dish)

Secondly, they give "something" around the pan

Then, they put some veges, cabbage and leek

You can add some additional inside, like udon, ramyeon, extra tteokpokki and cheese, 

price around +₩1500

And after they take out the "lid" you can enjoy or meal, korean always thinks never left the sauce behind, so my friend order for additional rice with nori +₩1500, and cook it on pan with the rest dry sauce liquid from chicken.

MYEONGDONG BRANCH

1. 66-6 Chungmuro 2(i)-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul

2. 3-1 Myeongdong 2(i)-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul

there are 2 branches that both very near each other

Myeongdong station exit 8, go straight ahead

SEAFOOD DAKGALBI

₩32000 

大/대/big size

well the same way to serve, here the seafood one is more attractivre with giant mussels, shrimps and octopus but the taste totally the same with original one. Here we added additional ramyeon +₩1500, we cant live without ramyeon hahahaah

Here is the plus point in Myeongdong branch, because of the spacious place, they serve 바찬 sidedishes free flow self service! WOOHOO salad madness

Well overall, yoogane is not the greatest dakgalbi in town and not really my type. I prefer like jjimdak or dakgalbi with different version in nami island. But i'm not saying this bad, but just so-so.

Taste 7.5/10
