Seoul Trip / Gangneung Trip: Kolombo Sikdang, a Local Restaurant near Gangneung Central Market

Colombo Sikdang, located near Gangneung Central Market, is a galmaegisal (pork collar) specialty restaurant that appeared on Heo Young-man's Baekban Journey Gangneung episode. My boyfriend really wanted to visit, so we went there.

It's a small barbecue restaurant with about 6 round tables, and since it's a famous restaurant in Gangneung, we were worried that there wouldn't be any seats.

Huh? Why is no one here?

We guess it's because we visited around 5 PM on a weekday. After a while, locals started coming in and grilling galmaegisal.

The simple menu includes kimchi, seasoning sauce, and쌈 (쌈 채소) – a variety of leafy greens for wrapping. This simple setup reflects the restaurant's confidence in the inherent taste of the meat. The juicy galmaegisal, grilled over charcoal, is incredibly cost-effective. And sometimes, they generously throw in some free 삼겹살 (samgyeopsal – pork belly) as a bonus. To finish the meal, we recommend the spicy and clean-tasting 내장 전골 (naejang jeongol – innards stew).

Also, only cash or bank transfers are accepted; credit card payments are not possible.

In this day and age... no credit card payments? This is a bit of a bummer ㅠㅠ

Originally, my boyfriend and I planned to just have a bottle of soju, but after tasting the amazing side dishes, we ordered another one!!

It's been a while since I've seen a bottle of cider! Chilsung Cider, it's been a while.

Beef innards stew ₩20,000

Colombo Sikdang is a barbecue restaurant that uses charcoal grills.

The beef innards stew is also cooked over charcoal, allowing it to simmer gently.

Green onions, glass noodles, and various types of beef innards, the combination of the innard's fat and the spicy seasoning…

The first sip of the broth was actually a bit bland…

I thought it was kind of disappointing, but…

After simmering for a while and the broth reduced, the umami flavor was incredible.

The Gangneung restaurant, Colombo Sikdang, had an abundance of innards in its beef innards stew.

There was osori gamtu (pork belly), makchang (large intestine), daechang (large intestine), etc., and there was no gamey smell at all, and it was tender.

My boyfriend and I love this kind of old-fashioned atmosphere, so we were satisfied.

It looked like a small portion for two people, but it was plenty as an alcoholic beverage.

We wondered if we should order galmaegisal as well, but we were too full, so we regretfully couldn't.

Almost everything is self-service, and the owner isn't particularly friendly, but we were able to enjoy delicious appetizers at a reasonable price. If we visit Gangneung again, we will definitely visit again.
