I arrived shortly after break time around 17:00 and the dining room was already clean and ready for dinner service. The interior uses warm wood tables and bench seating, with ventilation hoods at each table, so grilling feels comfortable and smoke-free.
The space is fairly wide, making it suitable for office gatherings, family dinners, or meals with friends.
There are also unique details like investment quotes on the wall and signed photos, reflecting the restaurant’s location in Yeouido’s financial district.
Small plants and decor add a cozy touch, making the space feel more welcoming than the average BBQ shop.

Taste Notes
Banchan and Setup
Side dishes are made in-house daily, and the setup is neat and well-balanced.
Fresh ssam greens, seasoned scallions, kimchi, doenjang (soybean paste dip), and salt for dipping are all included. There were also macaroni salad and pickled vegetables, which added variety.
The kimchi stood out especially and paired well with the grilled meat.
Chadol (Beef Brisket)
The chadol grilled quickly and had a fragrant, nutty flavor. The fat rendered nicely, keeping the texture tender without feeling heavy.
It had a slight smoky finish from the grill, making it satisfying even without sauces.
A quick dip in salt brought out more of the umami flavor.
Naengsam (Frozen Pork Belly)
The frozen pork belly sizzled as soon as it hit the grill. It cooks fast and crisps up nicely on the outside while staying moist inside.
When paired with grilled kimchi, mushrooms, and seasoned scallions, it became a simple but addictive combination.
Since the fat cooks off well, it is easy to eat without feeling weighed down.
Fresh Samgyeopsal (Pork Belly)
The fresh samgyeopsal was thick enough to have a good chew and locked-in juices.
The rendered fat on the grill also flavored the kimchi, mushrooms, and garlic being grilled alongside.
Once it got a golden crust, dipping in salt brought out its natural flavor. Paired with scallions in a ssam, it felt like the most complete bite of the meal.
Cheese Steamed Egg
The steamed egg came out warm and fluffy, topped with melted cheddar. The cheese added richness while the scallions added a clean finish.
It was kid-friendly and worked well as a break between grilled courses.
Cold Kimchi Noodles
The cold kimchi noodles were refreshing, especially after the grilled meat.
The broth had a clean, sour kick, and the toppings like julienned cucumber, egg garnish, and seaweed added texture.
It worked as a perfect finish to the meal.
Final Thoughts
Bangdon Sikdang is a reliable Korean BBQ spot in Yeouido offering quality cuts, clean banchan, and a comfortable atmosphere. The fresh samgyeopsal, brisket, and cold kimchi noodles worked especially well for a complete meal. A solid option for office gatherings, family meals, or travelers looking for good Korean BBQ near Yeouido Station.
