The Gasan Digital Complex, along with the Guro Digital Complex, is a prominent office-dense area in the southwestern part of Seoul. While it used to primarily house industrial complexes, it has now transformed into a hub for cutting-edge industries.
Due to the high influx of people here, you can also find quite a few restaurants with long-standing histories nearby. Pungnyeon Galbi is one such restaurant that has been serving meat in one location for a considerable period.

“Restaurant Review: Slightly Understaffed for the Number of Customers”
However, there was a slight downside. It was the dinner rush hour, and the restaurant was bustling with guests. Unfortunately, there weren’t enough staff members, which resulted in them constantly being busy.
As a consequence, even the basic setup took quite a long time, and trying to place an additional order was challenging as we couldn’t easily find staff members around.
Nevertheless, despite this, it’s a unique place that allows you to grill meat outdoors on a rooftop in the heart of the city. It’s an excellent spot to gather with friends, grill meat, and enjoy good conversation.
