OUR STORY · AGING

How we age our meat.

Dry aging and wet aging, run in parallel — the cross-aging process is the whole reason this Hongdae restaurant (홍대 맛집) tastes the way it does.

CHAPTER · 01

Dry aging plus wet aging — cross-aged.

One line at the top of our menu board says it all: “All our meat is cross-aged with DRY AGING + WET AGING.” Pork belly and premium pork neck spend 480 hours — a full 20 days — in the aging room. Dry aging draws out moisture and concentrates the flavor; wet aging relaxes the texture. The Blue Ribbon Survey describes this Hongdae restaurant as serving “Korean pork cross-aged for over 20 days, combining dry and wet aging so the pork aroma comes through without any gaminess.”

CHAPTER · 02

Cut thick, grilled for you.

We cut the pork neck a full 2cm thick — slice it thin and all that aging goes to waste. Minari and aged kimchi go on the grill alongside the meat to cut the fat, and our staff handle the grilling for you. The line that repeats most often in our Google reviews is simply that someone grilled it for them. Even if this is your first Korean BBQ, you get every piece at exactly the right moment.

FAQ

Questions we're asked.

The questions we hear most before a first visit. For anything else, call +82-2-6487-9950.

Q · 01

Where is Kim Sukseong Hongdae located?

We are at 1F, 32 Hongik-ro 3-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul. It is about an 8-minute walk from Hongik Univ. Station (Line 2 / AREX / Gyeongui-Jungang), and roughly 10 minutes from Sangsu Station (Line 6) or Hapjeong Station (Lines 2 & 6). Most people walking over from the main Hongdae strip find it easily.

Q · 02

How do I make a reservation?

You can book online through the CatchTable app or Naver Booking, or call +82-2-6487-9950. Friday and Saturday evenings and late-night hours can get busy, so a reservation is recommended.

Q · 03

What are the opening hours?

We are open every day from 12:00 noon until 2:00 AM the next morning, seven days a week. Because we run straight from lunch through to the early hours, a lot of guests come for late dinners or a second round after a show.

Q · 04

What is cross-aging?

It means applying dry aging and wet aging together. Dry aging removes moisture in open air and concentrates the aroma; wet aging tenderizes the texture in vacuum. We alternate between the two and age our pork belly and premium pork neck for 480 hours — 20 days. The gaminess disappears and what is left is clean, nutty pork flavor.

Q · 05

Are there foreign-language menus?

Yes — printed menus are available in Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese. Each menu has photos and short descriptions of the cuts, so ordering is straightforward even if this is your first Korean BBQ.

Q · 06

What do you recommend ordering?

For a first visit, order the aged pork belly (160g, ₩17,000) and the premium pork neck (160g, ₩17,000) together — same 480-hour aging, completely different textures. For a group, the Premium Kim Sukseong Special (₩188,000) brings rib eye cap, Hanwoo chuck, premium pork neck and pork belly together with stew, marinated crab, corn cheese and minari, so you can compare everything in one sitting. Finish with the spicy marinated crab rice (₩9,000) or DIY fried rice (₩4,000).

Q · 07

Do I have to grill the meat myself?

No — our staff grill it for you. With thick-cut aged meat the timing makes all the difference, so we would rather handle it. It is the single most repeated comment in our Google reviews.

Q · 08

Is this a good Hongdae restaurant for foreign visitors?

Yes. We keep menus in Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese, and our staff do the grilling, so a first Korean BBQ is easy here. It is an 8-minute walk from Hongik Univ. Station and we serve until 2 AM, so a late arrival is fine.
