Our Visit
Today, I visited the 4th branch of Changsin Yukhoe located in Gwangjang Market. Changsin Yukhoe has a total of 4 branches and each one has its own unique charm with different owners. There are various menus available other than beef tartare, such as mung bean pancakes, green onion pancakes, and beef tartare rice bowls for meals.
The fourth branch of Changsin Yukhoe has two entrances, one inside Gwangjang Market and one outside. The exterior entrance is located a 2-minute walk from Jongno 5-ga Station Exit 8 and is easy to find. When you go up to the second floor, you will be welcomed by a spacious and pleasant store. The store is spacious, but please note that there is not much space between tables.
There are menus on the walls in the front and back of the store. When you book with Creatrip, the table will be set up on time, so you don't have to worry about waiting!
On one side of the store, there is a refrigerator for alcohol. If you order a slushie soju, the owner will make it for you. There are various types of alcoholic beverages such as beer, makgeolli, traditional liquors, in addition to soju, which all pair well with yukhoe.
Water is self-served. Take a bottle our of the fridge if you're feeling thirsty.
*Yukhoe (200g) 19,000 KRW
*Yukhoe and beef sashimi set 32,000 KRW
*Yukhoe wiht live octopus 32,000 KRW
*Meat Wanja (3 pieces) 10,000 KRW
Mung bean pancake with meat 5,000 KRW
We ordered a serving of Meat Wanja as well. The meat wanja, which is basically a meat patty, is filled tightly with onions and meat, and the outside is crispy while the inside is moist and tender, making it a dish that you can keep on eating. Also, if you eat it with the onion dipping sauce provided, the sweet and sour flavor of the onion sauce enhances the richness of the meat dumplings.
This restaurant's Yukhoe has gochugaru (red pepper flakes) inside, which adds a slight kick.
When I came down, I went through the door located inside Gwangjang Market, and as soon as I came down, I saw bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes) and gogiwanja (meat dumplings).
How to Get There
Exit through Exit 8 of Jongno 5-ga Station.
If you go straight about 70m, you will see a sign on the left.
Go up to the second floor and you'll arrive!
