A sensational tour that takes you around one of the more complicated markets in Seoul and is a great introduction to learning Korean barbeque which is essential for anyone spending time in the country. Hyunu the host is extremely knowledgable on food and specifically that Korean beef.

Hyunu made the experience so special and enjoyable. He is extremely knowledgeable, warm and genuinely interested in getting to know his guests too. He was a great conversation maker and and cooked our beef to perfection! A definite highlight of our stay in Seoul!

We enjoyed this experience because we wanted to learn more about Korean BBQ and Korean beef. Hyunu was very informative without being boring. We learned about the different grades, cuts, and differences between males and female cows and their flavor. At the end, we selected some excellent cuts and Hyunu expertly grilled them for us in the upstairs grilling area. Overall, a worthwhile and delicious time.

We had such a lovely day with Hyunu at the market and later at the restaurant. It was super interesting learning about the history of Korean BBQ and then learning about all the different cuts of meat. He was very knowledgeable, great at relaying information and he was super friendly and welcoming.
A great conversation over an amazing meal that's cooked by the expert hands of Hyunu. You buy your meat at the market and we were so glad we took recommendations from Hyunu as to the cuts to get - it was AMAZING quality meat. Bringing his own oil and salt is a lovely touch as the quality salt really makes the meat taste better.
The sides at the restaurant were unlimited so do arrive hungry as there's plenty to eat.
Highly recommend to meat lovers visiting Seoul.
Thanks Hyunu for a great experience.
