🔥 Korean Barbecue at an Old-School Spot by Jongno 5-ga Station, Orai Deungsim

Featured on Korean TV, Orai Deungsim is a long-running barbecue restaurant in an alley right by Jongno 5-ga Station. We recommend it to guests who want to experience the mood of a Seoul evening barbecue gathering.

If you are staying around Gwangjang Market or Jongno, we recommend grilling meat late into the evening at Orai Deungsim, a 2-minute walk from Exit 7 of Jongno 5-ga Station.

Grill unmarinated fresh meat to enjoy its natural flavor, or Korean favorite pork belly, right at your table. At ₩16,000 per 200 g, the prices are friendly.

Chewy grilled hagfish is one of Korea’s classic drinking snacks and a great pick for something different. Open until midnight every day, it is easy to drop by for a late dinner.
