Gobau

Gobau is a meat restaurant in the food alley behind Garden Hotel in Dohwa-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, about a ten-minute walk from Gongdeok Station. It grills pork and special cuts over charcoal briquettes, serving salt-grilled meat, pork ribs, and pork skin, with the meat partially cooked before it goes on the fire. On Friday evenings the place can fill up and require waiting, the self-service bar offers lettuce refills, and the space is large. The ventilation is weak, so the meat smell settles heavily into clothing.
