Despite its name, this place isn't a real farm. Instead, it’s a cozy Korean BBQ restaurant beloved by locals for its fresh ingredients, generous portions, and authentic countryside vibes — all right in the heart of Seoul!
What is Heungbu Farm?
Heungbu Farm specializes in traditional Korean BBQ, focusing mainly on pork dishes like samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly) and mokssal (neck meat). The meat here is incredibly fresh, with just the right amount of marbling, and is grilled right at your table over a charcoal fire, giving it an amazing smoky flavor you’ll fall in love with.
What makes this place stand out is its rustic, farm-like atmosphere. The wooden interiors, simple décor, and lively energy will make you feel like you’ve been transported out of the city and into a cozy countryside eatery.
