Hongdae · Mapo-gu, Seoul
427 m from Hongik Univ. Station — a seven-minute walk. Woohwa Hongdae Main Branch is a Korean BBQ house that grills only No.9 Hanwoo, the highest marbling score inside Korea's 1++ grade, over live charcoal. Seven cuts — ribeye cap, tenderloin, chuck flap tail, Woohwa ribeye, flat iron, short plate and premium beef tongue — all orderable by the 100 g, plus sets for one to four people. Open every day from noon until midnight. If you came to Hongdae looking for a Korean Restaurant worth the trip, this is the Korean BBQ to end the search on.
The Hanwoo served here is No.9 — the highest marbling score within Korea's own 1++ beef grade. Ribeye cap, tenderloin and chuck flap tail are ₩44,000 per 100 g; Woohwa ribeye and premium beef tongue ₩41,000; flat iron and short plate ₩38,000. Seven cuts, every one of them orderable by the 100 g, which is rarer than it sounds for a Korean BBQ in Hongdae.

It is charcoal, not gas. Searing the surface over a live charcoal fire lets the fat drip, catch and come back up as smoke that settles into the meat — which is why the sign outside reads “프리미엄 숯불 소고기”, premium charcoal-grilled beef. For most guests searching for a Korean Restaurant in Seoul, it is the first thing they check.
Each cut behaves differently. Saeusal, the ribeye cap, is a small muscle lifted off the loin and named for its shrimp-like shape; the premium beef tongue comes from the innermost part of the tongue, the part that moves least and so stays tenderest. Tenderloin is ordered from two portions up. If you would rather eat it raw, the gochujang beef tartare is ₩24,000, cut from chuck tender prepared the same day.
“Meet Saeusal, a special Hanwoo cut named after its shrimp-like shape. There is no actual shrimp involved! This prized part of the ribeye is known for its rich marbling, tender texture, and deep, savory flavor.”
1++ No.9 is the grade the restaurant states for its beef. Which cuts are on hand can change with the market, so please check the board when you visit.
Dining alone, the Set for 1 is ₩109,000; for four, the Set for 4 is ₩299,000. A set skips the business of choosing cut by cut and brings out the combination the kitchen would have picked for you. If this is your first Korean BBQ in Hongdae, it is the fastest answer on the menu.

Guest reviews
I recently visited "Uhwa" for their Korea beef BBQ, and it was an absolute delight! The dining environment is fantastic, with an excellent ventilation system that leaves you completely free of any greasy smoke odor.
The highlight was definitely the premium quality of the korea beef. This was gorgeous, making every bite incredibly tender, juicy, and bursting with rich flavor.
The staff were also highly professional, proactively helping us monitor the grill to ensure every cut was cooked to perfection.
From the meat quality to the ambiance and service, everything was good, I will definitely be back for more! 💯S*****y F**g
A true gem for beef lovers! The meat was absolutely delicious—tender, juicy, and high quality. Every bite was a pleasure. The cooking was perfect, and the side dishes complemented the meal so well. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent. You can really feel the care put into both the food and the customer experience. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great food. I’ll definitely come back again!H***r E* M*******I
We had such a wonderful dining experience here. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, making us feel truly welcomed from the moment we walked in. You can really feel a Korean omakase-style level of service — thoughtful, detailed, and professional.
The meat quality was outstanding — extremely fresh, tender, and flavorful. You can definitely taste the difference with their dry-aged beef; it’s on a completely different level compared to regular cuts.
Highly recommend trying their doenjang stew — it was rich, comforting, and full of depth. The Hanwoo cold noodles were also a pleasant surprise and absolutely worth ordering.
Overall, a fantastic experience. I would definitely recommend everyone to give this place a try!M****n L*
홍대에서 정말 제대로 된 소고기 구이 전문점을 찾았어요.
매장 분위기부터 고기 퀄리티, 그리고 사이드 메뉴까지 무엇 하나 빠지는 게 없어서 먹는 내내 감탄만 하고 온 곳이에요.
✨ 시선 강탈! 드라이아이스 퍼포먼스와 영롱한 마블링
처음 고기가 나올 때 드라이아이스 연기 속에서 등장하는데, 비주얼부터 압도적이라 카메라를 안 들 수가 없더라고요! 신선함이 눈으로 그대로 보이고 고기마다 이름표가 정성스럽게 붙어 있어서 대접받는 기분이 확 들었습니다.
🥩 육즙 가득, 입안에서 사르르 녹는 소고기
화력 좋은 화로에 가지, 버섯, 애호박 등 야채와 함께 구워 먹는 소고기는 그야말로 예술이었습니다. 한 입 베어 물자마자 입안 가득 퍼지는 진한 육즙과 부드러운 식감이 독보적이에요. 겉은 바삭하게 육즙을 가두고 속은 촉촉하게 구워져서 소금만 살짝 찍어 먹어도 고기 본연의 풍미가 엄청납니다.
🍜 고기의 기름진 맛을 싹 잡아주는 완벽한 사이드
고기를 맛있게 즐긴 후, 라면과 냉면으로 마무리를 감행했는데요. 이 선택이 정말 신의 한 수였습니다!
냉면: 살얼음이 동동 띄워져 나와서 한 입 마시는 순간 속이 뻥 뚫릴 정도로 너무 시원했어요. 고기 먹고 살짝 기름진 입안을 깔끔하게 정돈해 주는 정석 같은 맛입니다.
라면: 일반 라면이 아니에요! 국물이 정말 진하고 녹진해서 깊은 맛이 나는데, 먹다 보면 중간중간 차돌박이가 듬뿍 들어가 있어서 씹는 맛과 풍미가 대박입니다. 소고기 전문점다운 고급스러운 라면이라 국물까지 남김없이 흡입하고 왔네요.
💡 총평
분위기도 고급스럽고 고기 질은 말할 것도 없이 훌륭한 홍대 '우화'.
여기에 가신다면 시원한 냉면과 차돌 가득한 녹진한 라면은 필수로 꼭 같이 주문해서 드셔보세요! 조만간 소고기 충전하러 또 방문할 예정입니다.
추천 메뉴: 소고기 모듬, 차돌 라면, 물냉면
재방문 의사: 200%!안*원
A restaurant where you can enjoy high quality beef. The presentation was marvelous and perfect for photo taking. The service is impeccable, you just need to sit down and eat as oppa will cook all the food for you. Another bonus is that oppa can communicate in English and it made me felt more comfortable as I didn’t need to worry about miscommunications. And it’s one-person dinning friendly!Y****e
Found this restaurant after stopping by ALAND to check out some local designer brands, and it turned out to be such a great find. The atmosphere was nice, and the food definitely impressed.
Strongly recommend ordering the rib eye steak—it’s incredibly soft, juicy, and easy to chew. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Would come back again!C**y C****g
Absolutely loved the Korean BBQ here! The beef was amazing—so tender and full of flavor. What really stood out was the staff properly cooking everything to perfection right at the table. Excellent service all around. Can’t wait to come back!T* L*
The meat quality here is excellent. We are very particular about the kind of beef we eat and this restaurant did not disappoint. They cook your meal for you. The staff is very polite very helpful and very friendly. The side dishes are delicious. Presentation of the food is also lovely.Z***h Z***r
Amazing hanwoo beef experience here with Uhwa~ Staff are very approachable, sweet and attentive; they grilled the beef at a good pace so we’re always eating freshly grilled beef at all times. The beef were fresh, tender and juicy, and the staff cooked them very well! Blueberry-ade was yum!! Would definitely come back again <3A*y L**g
Fantastic Korean BBQ experience! The Hanwoo is top-tier, tender and succulent. The staff takes care of all the grilling, so we could simply relax and enjoy our meal. Conveniently located near Hongdae, it’s an ideal choice for anyone craving authentic beef barbecue.K**e L*u
My friend found this place from Chatgpt and it really delivered! Best KBBQ I have had. Amazing service. No wait on a Thursday night. They gave us mashed pumpkin instead of mashed potatoes and it was awesome!A*y V*
Reviews left on the restaurant's Google place, quoted as written. Names are masked through the middle, and nothing in a body is edited — each stays in the language it was written in.
Hours, bookings, what to budget, which cut to order, eating alone — the eight questions asked most before a first visit to this Hongdae Korean BBQ.
Noon to midnight, every day. The hours are the same on all seven days, so lunch and a late dinner are equally possible — and because this Korean BBQ lights its charcoal from midday, the early hours are usually the quieter ones.
No separate last-order time is published. If you are coming late, please call to check.
Yes. Call the restaurant on 010-4626-2813, or book through its Naver Place page or by Instagram DM. Please give the date, time and number of people.
Google's listing additionally names CatchTable among the booking routes. Only the Naver and Instagram links the restaurant supplied directly are published here.
Google's listing puts it at ₩100,000 or more per person. Premium Hanwoo runs ₩38,000–44,000 per 100 g and the Set for 1 is ₩109,000, so two people sharing a set plus a cut or two land in that band. Lighter things sit alongside: soybean stew ₩8,000, Hanwoo cold noodles ₩8,000, steamed rice ₩1,000.
As of October 2026; prices may change.
If it is your first visit, take a set. If you would rather choose cut by cut, there are seven, all 1++ No.9: ribeye cap, tenderloin and chuck flap tail at ₩44,000 per 100 g, Woohwa ribeye and premium beef tongue at ₩41,000, flat iron and short plate at ₩38,000. Tenderloin is ordered from two portions up.
Yes — there is a Woohwa Set for 1 at ₩109,000 on the menu: 100 g each of Woohwa ribeye, flat iron and short plate, so one person still gets three cuts. Google's listing says guests typically stay between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
The clips the restaurant supplied show staff grilling the beef at the table — every table has its own charcoal grill, and in the footage a member of staff works the tongs and times each cut. Whether staff take the whole job every time is not something the restaurant has stated, so please check when you visit.
Yes. The restaurant keeps menu translations in English, Japanese and Traditional Chinese, and this site is in those four languages too. Each table also has a picture-based ordering tablet, so you can order from the photographs without reading a word of Korean.
A visitor update on the restaurant's Google listing also notes the English menu.
Google's listing shows high chairs, Wi-Fi, dine-in and delivery, and marks the place as LGBTQ+ friendly. The restaurant is on the second floor, with a long window-lined hall and enclosed room-style seating beyond it.
Nothing has been stated about parking, so nothing is claimed here. Please ask the restaurant if you need to know.
