Demachi Stand

Part of the fun of samgyeopsal is choosing the meat, then deciding what to tuck into each lettuce wrap. Demachi Stand offers classic pork belly alongside herb, salt-and-lemon, salt-and-garlic and mala-seasoned varieties. You can also try deppe samgyeopsal, a Korean-style grilled shabu-shabu. Diners who have tried the all-you-can-eat course describe the pork as juicy, with a rich sweetness from its fat, and enjoy combining it with lettuce and seasonings. Try different meats and build each wrap with perilla leaves, Korean seaweed, kimchi or spring onion salad for a changing combination in every bite.

The all-you-can-eat course lists pork jowl, pork tongue, pork skirt and pork shoulder, as well as chive pancakes, tteokbokki, rice, seaweed soup and ice cream. It suits a group looking to make pork the focus of the meal; alternatively, you can order samgyeopsal and other pork dishes individually. Another option is Set A, which lists 4 grilled pork items, jjigae and fried rice. Depending on the group and the mood, you can gather around a spread of pork or make the stew the centrepiece and enjoy it with a rice dish.

Korean beer and slushy makgeolli are among the drinks, alongside ginger chu-hi and fresh lemon chu-hi. For dessert, the menu includes patbingsu and ice cream. Patbingsu is listed as one order per group, while ice cream is one order per person. This is a casual spot suited to friends and groups, and a free-flow drinks option is also available. Dinner reservations are recommended, so consider booking if you are planning an all-you-can-eat meal.
