Korean BBQ in Seoul is easier to plan when the chosen cuts and the dinner arrangements are clear. At Seolya Galbi Cheongdam, this guide looks at reading 100g as a menu unit, not a meal size, using an explicit example for 3 diners.
Reading 100g as a menu unit, not a meal size
A 100g listing explains how the restaurant prices a cut. It does not establish how much each guest needs. At Seolya the two signature rib listings exclude bone weight, which makes their units directly comparable. Start with the total weight actually being considered, then add the finishing dishes separately. The example below is a calculation, not a serving recommendation.
Three diners, ribs with tenderloin
For three people, the example adds garlic tenderloin to the rib order and counts two soups as chosen items. Mention the tenderloin preparation time when discussing service. The soup count is intentionally explicit: it is not a statement that every guest must take one soup, or that the remaining guest receives an unlisted complimentary dish.
An itemized food example
| Selected item | Listed unit | Example quantity | Line total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seolya marinated ribs | 100g / 59,000 KRW | 400g (4 x 100g) | 236,000 KRW |
| Garlic tenderloin | 100g / 52,000 KRW | 200g (2 x 100g) | 104,000 KRW |
| Gomtang | 1 dish / 19,000 KRW | 2 dishes | 38,000 KRW |
The selected beef totals 600g. These three food lines add up to KRW 378,000: 236,000 + 104,000 + 38,000 = 378,000. This is an illustrative order, not a restaurant-issued course or a claim that the amount will suit every appetite. Drinks, corkage, room charges and any unlisted additions are outside this subtotal. Menu prices are stated in KRW including VAT and may change.
Keep two separate numbers in the group note: the total selected meat weight and the number of people attending. Dividing one by the other is only an average for this hypothetical order, not a restaurant rule. Food preferences and finishing dishes can change the actual order even when the guest count remains the same.
Before finalizing the booking
The table is staff-grilled, so guests do not need to nominate a permanent grill cook. Tell staff which dishes matter most and whether the group wants to decide on extras later. A cooking service does not remove the need to agree on quantities.
