Pungumu
A moment to unwind in the city.
A guide to pork barbecue, seafood stews, and meal sets at Pungumu, from tender thick-cut samgyeopsal and spicy nakgopse to set meals framed by assorted banchan.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
For diners focused on pork cooked slowly over a tabletop grill, Pungumu makes a satisfying stop. The thick-cut samgyeopsal cooks up tender on the iron plate; wrapped in free-refill sanchu lettuce alongside condiments and side dishes, each bite balances the richness of the pork against crisp leafy greens. In addition to classic aged pork belly, the barbecue menu extends to ogyeopsal—with skin attached for added bite—and aromatic variations such as basil samgyeopsal.
Beyond grilled meats, seafood stews and stir-fries hold their own on the table. Nakgopse combines octopus, offal, and prawns simmered into a rich, spicy broth, creating a concentrated stew that can also be ordered as part of the popular combination set with a choice of sides from among 28 dishes, alongside items like dak-galbi. Spicy-sweet stir-fried baby octopus (jukkumi) offers another lively option, with a springy chew and steady kick of heat that keep the meal moving.
Lunch sets provide another compelling draw. The ganjang saewoo set centers on prawns marinated in a savory-sweet soy sauce, rounded out by a spread of banchan and a fiery sundubu jjigae. Following the rich, soy-marinated seafood with the clean, chilled tang of mul-naengmyeon makes for a refreshing finish. With roomy seating arrangements, the dining room accommodates everything from casual lunches to lively evening dinners paired with all-you-can-drink plans.
