I had bulgogi for the first time in a while because it seemed like prokogi was the recommended dish over samgyeopsal, and it was delicious! I found that adding perilla leaves made it tastier than having it with lettuce, so I recommend trying it that way. The restaurant was spacious and nice, but the attitude of the staff was a bit disappointing.

For the past 2-3 days, the cold weather has returned and I found myself craving something hot and spicy like a stew. I remembered there were some Korean restaurants in the middle of Daimyo, so I headed straight there. I found it! Looking at the menu, I saw they had a stew-like dish that looked perfect. I entered the restaurant and since it was still early, I was the first customer. The spacious interior made me feel like I had the place to myself (a few more people came in later, which was reassuring). There was a QR code on the table for ordering, indicating that this method has become quite popular. There were also menus on the table, so I carefully looked through the photos and descriptions before ordering on my phone. The staff recommended the "Pekpa (Hot Charcoal Bulgogi) Set Meal," but I decided to stick to my original plan. There were two types of stew available - the 7-Minute Pork Kimchi Stew for 880 yen (with rice) and the Semaul Miso Stew for 880 yen (with rice). The description of the former mentioned "thickly sliced pork simmered for the most delicious 7 minutes, cut with scissors, etc.," resembling Samgyeopsal, so I went with that. It's bound to be delicious. The stew that arrived was the hot and red one I was hoping for. Along with rice and namul, a container of chopped Korean seaweed was served, with instructions to sprinkle the seaweed over the rice and then pour the stew like curry. I love Korean seaweed, so I was pleasantly surprised and felt lucky! I sprinkled a generous amount of seaweed, poured the pork belly-filled kimchi stew over like curry (as instructed). The colors looked great and it was very appetizing. The spiciness wasn't too strong, but the hot pot warmed me up and the generous amount of rice left me feeling full. All this for 880 yen is a great deal. Other menu items are also reasonably priced, mostly under 1,000 yen. I'd like to try the Pekpa set meal next time. The restaurant may look dark and a bit intimidating from the outside, but I highly recommend it.

On a regular day off, I finished my errands in the Akasaka area and decided to look for a lunch spot in the Akasaka Daimyo area. After finding out that the restaurant I was aiming for was "sold out" or unexpectedly closed, I finally decided to try out "Semaul Shokudo Niku Tenjin Daimyo branch" which I had seen before. It seems to be a famous Korean restaurant with branches in Japan. The entrance had a photo of what seemed to be the founder, giving off a local vibe. Upon entering, K-pop music was playing in the slightly dimly lit restaurant filled with mostly female customers. There were hardly any men... which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I looked at the menu and decided to go with the recommended "Pekpa (Hot Charcoal Bulgogi) set" for 880 yen. You could choose between soy sauce flavor and gochujang flavor, and this time I chose soy sauce flavor. After about 10 minutes, the dish arrived. It was grilled meat coated in soy sauce sauce served on a hot plate. The set came with rice, lettuce, two side dishes, gochujang, and seaweed soup. It was quite a generous portion for the price. Wrapping the sweet soy sauce marinated grilled meat in lettuce and eating it was delicious, with a hint of charcoal flavor. The portion of lettuce was also plentiful, so there was no need to worry about running out. I used the slightly awkward metal chopsticks commonly found in Korean restaurants to finish the meal, and ended with the seaweed soup. The meal had a good portion size and a sense of authenticity, but the high ratio of female customers, which is common in Korean restaurants, was quite extreme in this place, making it a bit uncomfortable for a lone male diner. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a ramen restaurant that had just opened on a Sunday afternoon around 2 pm, but it was closed. According to the information, it was supposed to be open on Sundays! Oh well, there's no point in getting upset here. I decided to walk around and stumbled upon this place. I had been wanting to try it for a while, so it was like a dream come true. The original store is located in Gangnam, Seoul, and they have about 200 branches in Korea, making it a well-known restaurant among Koreans. Inside, there were only table seats, K-pop music playing on the TV, and a casual atmosphere. I was told to sit wherever I liked, so I chose a seat randomly. They had a lunch menu available until 3 pm, with one dish and two flavors. However, you could also order from the regular menu, which included stews and set meals. Since I was there within the lunch hours, I ordered the Bulgogi lunch set with spicy sauce. They served a pot of water for each table. The dishes were all served together on one tray. The grilled pork was served on a hot plate and already coated in the spicy sauce, making it delicious when eaten with rice. There was also plenty of fresh lettuce for wrapping, which made for a healthy meal. The set also came with two side dishes, spicy sauce, and seaweed soup. For the price of 880 yen, it was quite reasonable to enjoy charcoal-grilled pork. It was great that they were open on Sundays and offered lunch specials at the same price as weekdays.

This is a truly Korean flavor ^_^ A famous restaurant even among FC fans, with prices that are very reasonable and generous portion sizes for set meals. The Galbi-chim is incredibly delicious! During lunch, the place was full of women. This time, I ordered Kimchi Jjigae and Bulgogi set meal. It was satisfying in terms of taste and portion size^_^

I visited Yoritampurukogi for the second time and ordered samgyupsal, seafood and chive pancake, Semaul miso stew, Saba-ruchumokbap (Korean rice ball you make yourself), and Makgeolli. Yoritampurukogi is thinly sliced meat that you wrap with vegetables and eat. It's fun because you can dip it in various sauces and eat it however you like. The meat is grilled by the neat Korean staff. Samgyupsal is thick and delicious. Semaul miso stew came with rice, I think. You can eat it together or separately, and it had just the right amount of spiciness. Making your own Korean rice ball, Saba-ruchumokbap, by mixing it with gloves was enjoyable. It's Instagram-worthy and makes you feel like you're in Korea. I will definitely go back!

The popular Korean restaurant chain "Seumaru Shokudo" in Daimyo offers authentic Korean cuisine at a good cost performance. With over 130 stores in Korea and increasing in Japan, you can enjoy the taste of real Korean cuisine. I tried the Pekpa set meal and it was delicious. You can adjust the spiciness, so even if you don't like spicy food, you can enjoy it. The restaurant is bright, clean, and lively, making it easy to visit for lunch or dinner. - Pekpa set meal: 880 yen - Restaurant information: Name: Seumaru Shokudo Niku Tenjin Daimyo branch Hours: 11:30-23:00 Phone: 092-406-7746 Closed: Irregular holidays Private room: No Location: 1-9-11 Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka

At the famous "Semaul Shokudo Niku" in Daimyo, they have a dish called Pulgogi lunch set. The name of the restaurant includes "meat," so it's no surprise that there's meat everywhere inside. The aged Pulgogi set costs 880 yen and you can choose between soy sauce or gochujang flavor. The sweet and savory Pulgogi goes well with rice, but there's so much sauce that it's almost like eating just sauce with a little bit of meat. I ended up pouring the leftover sauce over the rice. It's nice that you can get plenty of vegetables.

The inside of the store is very lively with Kpop music. It has depth and is spacious. It feels different from the traditional Korean Semaul restaurant, maybe because it's still new. In these times, when we can't go out much, it feels like a mini trip nearby. As for the lunch menu, they have two types of Pekpa set meals. There is plenty of Sunny lettuce and two side dishes. It also comes with a seaweed soup. The rice portion is generous and soft. Wrap the meat, bean sprout namul, kimchi, miso in lettuce and rice and enjoy. It's delicious♡ However, the raw onions in the meat are spicy. I wish they were cooked a bit more. Personally, I like raw onions but it took me a while to get used to it this time. A brief moment of a small trip. Thank you for the meal.

Korean Cuisine Semaul Shokudo This restaurant has a sign with a picture of a cook, giving it an authentic Korean feel. I decided to try the Bulgogi and the delicious Sabal Chumokbap that I heard was good. The staff will cook and cut the Samgyeopsal for you. The Wakame soup is a must, it really adds to the Korean experience. Sabal Chumokbap is basically a mayo Korean seaweed rice ball, which you can make yourself with white gloves on. It's fun and playful. The restaurant is clean and the seating is organized, making it easy to use. The prices are reasonable, so it's a good option for a Chamisul festival. #Chamisul Challenge #Korean restaurant #Tendency to name the restaurant #Sabal Chumokbap #Basically a rice ball #Comes with Wakame soup #Samgyeopsal #Green chili peppers are a must #Kimchi is sour.

There is a restaurant in Shin-Okubo that has a menu called Yorutan Pork Bulgogi. I was curious about what Yorutan Pork Bulgogi is, but it seems to be thinly sliced pork loin meat rolled up and covered in sauce to make it into bulgogi. This type of bulgogi is not very popular in Korea, but I wonder if it is trending in other countries due to the various fusion dishes that Korea develops. In fact, in Western countries, sliced meat is not commonly sold, and the thinly sliced meat sold for Asians is frozen in a rolled-up state to prevent sticking together. This dish became popular in Japan (and Korea) because it is unusual for Japanese (Korean) people. I ordered it with gochujang flavor, but the seasoning was unique. It would be disappointing if it was served as a set meal, as it would just be a regular yakiniku set meal.

7-point pork kimchi jjigae 880 yen I came back because it was delicious last time. This time is here. It's nice to have various things included at this price. The taste was as expected haha. The acidity of Korean kimchi is still good. I would like to come back again.

I visited here for the first time, and the place was almost full with customers. I decided to try the "ペクパ定食" for lunch, as it was the only option available. It seemed to be some kind of bulgogi dish. The meal arrived promptly, and it included Sanchu and side dishes, which seemed healthy. The taste was a bit strong, but when wrapped in Sanchu and eaten with rice, it was just right. The portion size was perfect for lunch, and I can see why this place is popular. I would like to try the kimchi hot pot next time.

I used this restaurant for lunch. The place was full with customers coming in one after another. The interior was clean and had a nice Korean feel to it. I love Sundubu, and it was delicious here! I will definitely come back to this restaurant. The lunch set was a great deal with a generous amount of vegetables to wrap and eat with. I would like to try their dinner menu as well!

I have been to the famous restaurant Semaul Shikdang in Seoul, South Korea, and I was surprised to find out that it has opened in Fukuoka! The samgyupsal and other meats are delicious, but my recommendation is definitely the pork kimchi jjigae! It's seriously the best. The cost performance is good, so it's a great place to use for girls' gatherings. I will definitely go again!

I visited the newly opened Semaul Shokudo Tenjin Otemon store on January 14, 2021. This popular Korean restaurant chain has recently opened in Fukuoka and is known for its delicious Korean BBQ dishes. The lunch menu offers a variety of options, and I tried the spicy beef bulgogi set meal. The portion was generous, and the meat was tender and flavorful. The meal also included side dishes like seaweed soup, kimchi, and bean sprout namul. Overall, it was a satisfying and filling lunch experience. The restaurant is located in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka, and is only open for lunch on weekends and holidays.

A newly opened Korean restaurant in Daimyo. As indicated by the "meat" character after the dining hall, it is a Korean restaurant that focuses on meat dishes. I first heard about it because there was a long line when it opened, and I was curious about what it was. When I looked it up on Tabelog, I found out that there are also branches in Tokyo and Kumamoto. It's interesting how the restaurants are positioned. Fukuoka has many Korean restaurants (maybe other prefectures do too), and it seems to be a highly competitive area. All the restaurants seem to be very popular. Even on a weekday, there were a few people waiting in line in front of the restaurant. It truly shows the popularity of Korean cuisine. From the looks of the interior, it seemed like quite a few Korean customers were visiting. Perhaps it's because it's the taste of the locals. The signature dishes of the restaurant are the Hot Charcoal Bulgogi and the 7-Minute Pork Kimchi Stew, both of which I ordered this time. The only salad available was the Chorogi Salad, and since it was just meat, we decided to order it. It was a typical Chorogi Salad, but the top part without sauce was a bit bland. The Hot Charcoal Bulgogi was cooked by the staff, but they left shortly after starting to cook, so we were unsure whether we should cook it ourselves, and unfortunately, some parts ended up burnt. I apologize for the poor quality of the photo due to the smoke hood overlapping. I thought the 7-Minute Pork Kimchi Stew was just a stew, but it came with rice as well. There was quite a lot of rice, and looking back, that alone might have been a satisfying amount. In that case, the cost performance is actually very good. The rice was soft, and I would have preferred it to be a bit firmer. You can eat the stew by pouring it over the rice, or if you don't like it too mushy, you can eat them separately. Besides pork, there was also chicken in it, and the meat was delicious. The kimchi had a taste similar to the authentic one, with a slightly strong sourness. I wanted to drink the soup from the pot, but I didn't make much progress. I think the cost performance is not bad, but I wouldn't wait in line for it. Looking forward to the future.

Opened in December 2020, this Korean BBQ restaurant is a place I have visited in Seoul and Shin-Okubo. I love this style of Korean BBQ, where you wrap thinly sliced meat with vegetables. While thick cuts of Samgyeopsal are great, the thin slices here are tender like mille-feuille. Both the beef and pork are delicious. Do you make it yourself? The Korean rice balls are also popular. Many people eat it like Bibimbap. The staff greets you cheerfully with "Annyeonghaseyo." It's nearby but has a foreign atmosphere, allowing you to experience a bit of the extraordinary. I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. I will definitely go again.

Authentic Pork Bulgogi for 880 yen. It's affordable because it's made with pork. The large rice portion is quite generous!
