Here: Rather than a 10,000-won all-you-can-eat, the strength is the meat quality that lets you properly enjoy fresh meat
Pugo Sejongjeom: Because it is not all-you-can-eat and you must order from 3 servings, it is burdensome if 1–2 people go - Daejangyuk Sejongnaseongbonjeom
Here: Differentiated by the unique menu called Saengpae
Daejangyuk Sejongnaseongbonjeom: For people who want thick aging pork belly, the thin Saengpae may feel lacking - Samgyeopsalgwa Jijimi Naseongjeom
Here: At 13,000 won for 150 g of Saengpae, the price is reasonable compared with premium female pig pork belly

Good to know
- Because the first order must be at least 3 servings, it is burdensome for 1–2 people to go and eat
- Because the fresh large-format slices are thin, they burn quickly if you leave your seat, so you have to keep flipping them
