Mongtan

몽탄

Review

Mongtan is famous in Samgakji for straw-fire grilling, and the long-standing hype can make the wait feel questionable. The signature beef ribs, however, delivered the distinctive smoky richness I had hoped for.

What made the meal more convincing was the care given to the supporting dishes. Even the doenjang stew tasted full and deliberate, and the generous spread works especially well for sharing.
