Woojujip Hongdae is a beef-first Korean BBQ in Seoul, tucked into a Seogyo-dong side street in Hongdae. Our signature is tosi-jumulleok — hanging tender, a cut that yields only a tiny amount per animal, marinated 24 hours in a house sauce. This Seoul Korean BBQ is an 8-minute walk from Hongik Univ. Station and fires up the charcoal every day at 13:30.

Woojujip Hongdae is a charcoal beef specialist in Seogyo-dong, Hongdae — the Korean BBQ in Seoul that Japanese guests find by searching 韓国焼肉店 or 焼肉 近く, and Korean regulars simply call 홍대 고깃집. It is an 8-minute walk from Hongik Univ. Station, open every day 13:30–23:40 with last order at 22:50. The signature is tosi-jumulleok, 170g at ₩26,000, marinated 24 hours; the first order is a minimum of 2 servings. If you are shortlisting a Seoul Korean BBQ for tonight, that is the whole thing in one paragraph.
Hanging tender yields only a small portion per animal. We marinate it for 24 hours in a sauce we developed ourselves, so the texture stays soft while the sweet-savoury balance lands in the first bite. It is the dish Woojujip Hongdae is known for, and the one guests who searched for a Korean BBQ near them order again on the next visit.

The first order is for a minimum of 2 servings.
The name Woojujip comes from the characters 牛 (beef) and 酒 (drink) — the seal on our sign. Away from the noise of the main Hongdae strip, on a quiet Seogyo-dong lane, we built this Seoul Korean BBQ one cut at a time around a simple idea: good beef should not be a special occasion.
Hanging tender yields only a small amount per animal. We add a sauce we developed ourselves and let it rest, which pushes both the softness and the savouriness as far as they go. The sweet-salty balance lands the moment you take a bite — one cut you will only find here in Hongdae.
Beyond tosi-jumulleok there is Wooju galbi, beef short rib, marinated short rib and LA galbi — plain cuts that let the beef speak, and marinated ones that add depth. You pick by mood and by occasion, so repeat visits never repeat themselves. The price range is a large part of why this Seoul Korean BBQ keeps its regulars.
The room is modern but warm, so a meal here stays relaxed. Round grills sit under copper hoods; the layout works for two, for a family, or for a party that takes the whole room. It is the kind of Korean BBQ you can book for very different evenings.
Staff help grill the meat at your table, so a first visit — or a first Korean BBQ — never feels like a test. When the plates are cleared, ice cream arrives. Small things, but they are why 2030s locals and overseas guests end up at the same tables.
A modern, warm dining room; round grills under copper hoods. These are real photographs of Woojujip Hongdae — the room, the table and the fire of a Korean BBQ that works for a pair, a family or a full party.
LA galbi, Wooju galbi, beef short rib, marinated short rib and tosi-jumulleok, plus Korean pork neck and the pork assorted set. Prices follow the in-store menu board, and printed menus are available in Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese — guests who arrived searching 韓国焼肉店 or 焼肉 近く will find every dish below on the Japanese board too.

Came here for our first Korean BBQ dinner and loved it! We had pork neck, hanging tender, steamed egg, soybean paste stew, and cold noodles—everything was delicious. Service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Even with the language barrier, we felt very welcomed. Their special dipping sauce was great, and they even gave us soft serve ice cream at the end. After we paid, they handed us juice boxes and cookies, which was such a thoughtful and cute touch. Definitely recommend!
Will have free slushy while waiting outside (got the mango flavour! yummy!) From ordering to serving and cooking the meats for us, the experience were flawless, recommend it! Ordered a 150g hanging tenders and beef short ribs each. Other dishes are served right after sitting in. Personally like the steamed eggs very much! (caution hot haha)
We had such a satisfying BBQ experience today! The beef was incredibly tender and juicy, cooked perfectly right at the table. One of the highlights was dipping the meat into soy sauce mixed with egg — it might sound unusual, but it adds such a rich and delicious flavor that really elevates the beef. The cold noodles were also excellent — refreshing and a great balance to the grilled meat. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Overall, we're very happy with this dinner and would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves BBQ!
We came here for dinner on a Monday around 5:30 and there was about a 30 minute wait, but man was it worth it! Everything was delicious. They serve the dinner with a rich delicious ice tea. We also ordered a yuzu fizz and a plum fizz, both sweet and tasty. We ordered the short rib, which was buttery and melted in your mouth, it was my favorite. My husbands favorite was the marinated hanger. All of the pickled vegetables served on the side were scrumptious. I have never really liked kimchi, but after this dinner I have changed my mind, there was just the right amount of heat and sweetness to the dish, an unforgettable combination. The total for the two meals was about 49$ USD! They also gave you a little treat of juice boxes and a dessert to take home. Amazing! 5 stars in every way!!
금요일 오후 4시부터 외국인 손님들로 만석이 될 만큼 핫한 우주집 홍대본점입니다! 자리에 앉아 QR 코드로 편하게 주문할 수 있어 정말 좋았습니다. 육향이 진하고 육즙이 풍부한 토시살을 특제 간장소스에 푹 찍어 매콤새콤한 비빔국수에 싸 먹는 조합은 그야말로 환상적입니다! 포슬포슬한 계란찜으로 속을 달래주니 밸런스가 완벽하네요. 마블링이 뛰어난 갈비살도 쫄깃하고 고소해서 맛있습니다. 무엇보다 바쁜 와중에도 미소를 잃지 않고, 가장 맛있는 굽기로 완벽하게 고기를 구워주시는 친절한 그릴링 서비스, 기분 좋은 디테일한 배려와 마지막 달달한 아이스크림도 먹을 수 있어서 덕분에 대접받는 기분으로 편안하게 식사했습니다. 홍대에서 편안하고 퀄리티 높은 고기 데이트 장소를 찾으신다면 강력히 추천합니다!
Loved it! The meat was so good we may have stuffed ourselves a bit too much! There was a queue when we arrived but glad we waited which was really only about 20min and well worth it. The staff were so kind and cooked everything perfectly, the sides were amazing. My only advice would be to not order additional things and stick to the meats with the banchan as the meats were so good we had to short rib and the marinated hanger steak. There are only 8 tables hence the wait but honestly was fantastic! I would go back here over and over if I could.
Absolutely delicious, the tender beef dipped in their special sauce with half boiled egg complemented each other. The rice cake mixed with the sugar condiment was a surprising delight. For the price of 26k Won, I think it is worth the money paid. Would recommend.
Very good Korean BBQ experiences I've had. The beef is juicy and yummy — you can really taste the quality with every bite. They will help us to cut and cook the beef. Very nice. And the boss was very friendly.
It's no surprise this place has almost all 5-star reviews. From the moment we walked in, we could already feel that the service here was truly beyond expectations. Every staff member was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming — honestly one of the best services I've ever experienced at a Korean BBQ restaurant in Korea. Throughout the meal, they made us feel comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. The atmosphere was also amazing — clean, cozy, and very relaxing. And the meat… absolutely incredible! So tender and perfectly grilled in every bite. The quality was far beyond what I expected. After eating here, I completely understand why there's always a long queue. They even provided snacks and drinks for us, paying attention to every little detail and making us feel like special guests. If you're visiting Korea and looking for a really good Korean BBQ restaurant, this place is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommended and absolutely worth it!
Beef is very tender and the seasoning is great, the staff is very kind, polite and their cooking skills are great! Also the price is very reasonable.
