Yeouido Minari Samgyeopsal 여의도미나리삼겹
Seoul · Yeouido & Han River · Meal
Minari is a peppery water celery that grows in spring, and in this Yeouido restaurant it is piled on the grill beside strips of pork belly. The vegetable cooks quickly, absorbs the fat and adds a fresh, grassy flavor that balances the richness of the meat. You wrap the pork and greens in lettuce with sauce, and the table fills with side dishes.
The dining room is lively in the evenings, with groups of colleagues and friends. Pork belly is usually ordered by the portion, with a minimum of two, so it suits a group. English may be limited, but photos help.
Prices are mid-range. Hours and menus may change, and the greens depend on the season.
Yeouido Station (여의도역), Lines 5 and 9, is a short walk. Use a map app to find the restaurant in the nearby lanes.
