[Seoul] 쇠고집 (Soegojip) in Insadong: Korean BBQ in a Beautiful Hanok Setting

Nestled in the charming cultural hub of Insadong, 쇠고집 (Soegojip) offers not only incredible Korean BBQ but also a chance to dine in a beautiful hanok (traditional Korean house). Insadong is known for its preserved historic streets, galleries, and traditional shops, creating a unique setting that transports you to a more nostalgic side of Seoul. 쇠고집 (Soegojip) fits right in, with its hanok-inspired architecture and serene interior, perfectly blending tradition with the area’s artistic vibe.

Inside, the restaurant feels warm and inviting, with wooden beams, earthy tones, and a spacious layout that preserves the hanok’s open and airy design. Dining here is an experience in itself—sitting in a classic Korean space as you grill premium hanwoo beef at your table, surrounded by the sights and sounds of Insadong. The cuts of beef here are exceptionally tender, practically melting in your mouth with each bite.

The side dishes, or banchan, are a feast of flavors, and best of all, they’re refillable, so you can enjoy unlimited rounds of kimchi, pickled vegetables, greens, and a hearty soup, which perfectly complements the rich flavors of the BBQ.

With prices between ₩22,000 to ₩30,000 per person (about $20-$27 USD), Soegojip isn’t just a meal; it’s a full cultural experience. If you’re looking for authentic Korean BBQ in a truly beautiful, historic setting, 쇠고집 (Soegojip) in Insadong is hard to beat.
