Aged 480 hours. Itaewon Korean BBQ
Kim Sukseong Itaewon is an Itaewon Korean BBQ house where every cut is cross-aged — dry aging and wet aging together. Three minutes on foot from Itaewon Station Line 6, open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Among Itaewon restaurants, this is the one built around aged Korean pork and Hanwoo 1++ beef on one grill.
One idea holds this Itaewon Korean BBQ together: aging. 480 hours of cross-aging is where we think a serious Itaewon restaurant has to begin.
CHAPTER · 01
Dry plus wet, cross-aged.
The promise printed across the top of our menu board is literal: every cut at Kim Sukseong Itaewon goes through dry aging and wet aging in turn. Dry to drive off moisture and concentrate flavour, wet to hold the juices in — 480 hours on the same piece of meat. It is the reason guests who judge Itaewon restaurants by their aging keep coming back.
CHAPTER · 02
Cut thick, at 2cm.
Aged pork neck goes on the grill at a full 2cm. Cut it thinner and the juice that 480 hours built up simply runs out onto the plate. Our Kimsukseong Special sets put that thick-cut neck alongside limited-run aged pork belly, gabrisal and special cuts — one grill that explains why this ranks among Itaewon restaurants worth the trip.
CHAPTER · 03
Korean pork and Hanwoo, 24 hours.
Pork is Korean Han-don, beef is Hanwoo — nothing else, and the origin line is printed at the bottom of our board for anyone to check. Kim Sukseong Itaewon is also open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Late at night or before sunrise, aged Korean BBQ is three minutes from Itaewon Station — rare even among Itaewon restaurants.

FAQ
What visitors searching for Itaewon restaurants ask us most before they come.
Where is Kim Sukseong Itaewon located?
+
Unit 2, 12 Itaewon-ro 19-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. It is about 200m — a 3-minute walk — from Itaewon Station on Line 6, one block off the main Itaewon-ro, so it is an easy walk if you are working through a list of Itaewon restaurants.
What are the opening hours?
+
We are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year — Monday through Sunday, with no regular closing day. That makes this one of the few Itaewon restaurants you can walk into late at night or just before sunrise. Hours can change, so for a very late visit it is worth calling +82-507-1351-6817 first.
How do I make a reservation?
+
Three ways: call +82-507-1351-6817, book through the CatchTable app, or use Naver booking. All three reach the same restaurant, and the “Reserve” button anywhere on this page opens them directly.
What does “cross-aging” mean here?
+
It means applying both dry aging and wet aging to the same cut. The line at the top of our menu board reads: “All meats are cross-aged using [DRY AGING + WET AGING].” Dry aging drives off moisture and concentrates flavour; wet aging keeps the juices in. At this Itaewon Korean BBQ we give that process 480 hours.
What should I order on a first visit?
+
For two, the Kim Sukseong Special 2 (550g, ₩56,000); for three or four, Special 1 (800g, ₩81,000). Both build on the thick 2cm pork neck and add aged pork belly and gabrisal. If you prefer single cuts, the aged pork belly (160g, ₩17,000) and gabrisal (150g, ₩19,000) are the ones to get — and almost everyone finishes with the spicy marinated crab rice (₩9,000).
Do you serve beef as well as pork?
+
Yes — two Hanwoo 1++ cuts: chuck flap (110g, ₩49,000) and neck chain (130g, ₩29,000). Pork is Korean Han-don and beef is Hanwoo only; the origin line is printed at the bottom of the menu board. Having both on one grill is what sets this Itaewon Korean BBQ apart from pork-only Itaewon restaurants.
Is there a menu in English?
+
Yes — the board is printed in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese, and all four hang in the store. Switch the language on this site's menu page and you will see the scan of that exact board. Itaewon draws visitors from everywhere, so all four languages are kept on hand.
Are there dishes besides the grilled meat?
+
Plenty. Spicy marinated crab rice (₩9,000), pork kimchi stew (₩9,000), beef brisket soybean paste stew (₩9,000), pork-loaded jjapaghetti (₩10,000), and minari bibim noodles, cold noodle soup and blue crab ramen at ₩7,000 each. At lunch there is also the pork-loaded kimchi stew special (₩10,000) — so it works as a plain meal stop too, not only as a Korean BBQ night out.
