Seoul: Lunch at Oneunjeong – Pork Rib Restaurant
It was Shinae who introduced us all to Oneunjeong on a trip to Seoul a couple of years ago. According to her, it is one of the best places to try traditional jjokgalbi in Seoul. Jjokgalbi (ģŖ½ź°ė¹) is Korean-style pork ribs, marinated in a sweet or savory, and sometimes slightly spicy sauce before being grilled or pan-fried to perfection. Unlike traditional galbi, which is often served in larger cuts, jjokgalbi is sliced into smaller, more manageable pieces, making it easier to eatāpreferably with your hands.
At Oneunjeong, the ribs are grilled out in front of the restaurant, and they come with a range of delicious banchan (side dishes). The restaurant provide plastic gloves, and part of the fun is about getting a little messy. The ribs are slightly crispy on the outside while staying tender and juicy inside. You can eat the meat straight off the bone, or wrap it in a lettuce leave with a bit of ssamjang (a Korean dipping sauce made with fermented soybean paste).
Oneunjeong is located near Gyeongbokgung Station. Itās a popular spot among both locals and tourists, known for its flavorful, well-seasoned pork ribs and friendly service. The casual, no-fuss atmosphere makes it a great place to unwind, especially after a day of exploring nearby Gyeongbokgung Palace. If youāre into Korean barbecue but havenāt tried jjokgalbi yet, this is your signāitās hands-on, packed with flavor, and absolutely worth the mess.

Hotels in South Korea are often surprisingly affordable, and they really go all in on the amenities. Even budget stays usually come with fresh slippers, toothbrushes, and those cute little bottles of shampoo and body washāeverything you need, and then some. Itās the kind of attention to detail that makes travel feel easy.
