Goundon is tucked inside Ikseondong’s hanok alley, with outdoor seating that gives the meal a relaxed, local atmosphere. The traditional surroundings made it a fun place to enjoy Korean BBQ while experiencing the character of the neighborhood.

Fresh Korean BBQ Sides and Vegetables

The pork belly came with fresh lettuce, minari, green onions, garlic, kimchi, and dipping sauces. I loved wrapping the grilled pork with the fresh vegetables for a classic Korean BBQ bite.

The thick pieces of pork belly were grilled right at the table until nicely browned. Watching the samgyeopsal cook made the meal even more tempting before we started eating.
