Pyeongyang Naeng Myeon
3.0
at Bukchangok
-Bukchang, Jung, Seoul, Republic of Korea-
with SL, IL, ICK
Bukchangok is a Korean restaurant. Specializes in grilled Korean beef, specifically Hanwoo.
SL, Asia sales rep for Hachette, is back in town for her twice-annual sales trip (see most recently 17.098 Handmade Marinated Pork Ribs). After looking over new releases in her hotel – and more importantly, about terms for a Hachette X dbBOOKS partnership at SIBF 2027 – we walked down the street for dinner.
The food was good. The bulgogi was decent but skimpy on the meat (Hanwoo 1++). The MNM wasn’t truly Pyeongyang-style, closer to Seoul-style, but otherwise okay. The clean, mild flavors suggest northern influence.
