Tips from parents who've been

💡 Office workers fill the place at lunch (11:30-13:00) and dinner (18:00-20:00), which makes a stroller awkward. 💡 The evening meat dishes come with a charcoal grill on the table. Seat your child on the inside, away from it. 💡 Water comes bottled and the cutlery is wrapped, which reassures parents who care about hygiene.

Tips for going with kids

💡 The grilled mackerel set is not spicy and is the easiest lunch to share with a child. 💡 In the evening, cut the pork belly, shoulder or jowl small and serve it with rice and children manage it comfortably. 💡 Lunch sets come with soybean paste stew. If your child will share it, ask when ordering whether it can be made without chilli.

Travelling in Korea

💡 The main lunch sets are stir-fried pork and grilled mackerel, at around 11,000 won. 💡 Evening dishes centre on pork belly, shoulder and jowl, at roughly 16,000-35,000 won. 💡 In Korean barbecue restaurants staff often grill the meat and cut it with scissors, which makes K-barbecue easy for visitors.
