Yunssi Grill Bang - Great Fusion Korean in Hongdae

Yunssi Grill Bang is a Korean fusion restaurant that is located in Hongdae's new happening district, Yeonnam-dong.  If you have never been to Yeonnam-dong which is out exit 3 of Honggik University Station, you should absolutely make the trip.  There is a park that was put in recently that is a wonderful place to hang out on summer nights and a ton of foreign restaurants with excellent food.  Yeonnam-dong is more quiet than the rest of Hongdae, but still keeps the cool modern atmosphere which is making it a hot place among Koreans.

Yunssi Grill Bang is one of those places that makes Yeonnam-dong so cool.  This place is extremely popular and so it almost always has a huge line outside the door.  The atmosphere in this place is excellent for a Friday night out with the friends and gives a sort of a bar like feel.  You will enjoy Yunssi Grill Bang is you like soju, but it is also just a nice place to go with friends or even for a fun date.

This place features a variety of set menus, many of which involve a special type of samgyupsal (pork belly) that has been smoked or marinated to give it a special touch.  The meat comes with a variety of side dishes that you can choose from.  We had a gugbab (a soup dish containing rice) and bibimnengmyeon (mixed cold noodles).  I especially liked the gugbab and samgyupsal, but the nengmyeon was also quite good.

This is a very unique restaurant that makes Korean food, but with a twist that makes it stand out just about every other restaurant that I have been to.  This is fusion food that is done well, and everything here tastes great.  I have noticed though that some Koreans do not find this restaurant as good as I do, and I think this is because they have an expectation of how Korean food should taste and this place deviates from that expectation.  However, like I said there is always a huge line outside this place which shows it popularity.

I apologize for not having pictures of the food, but you can consult the blogs below for food photos.
