Authentic low-and-slow Texas barbecue on the 2nd floor in Noksapyeong, Yongsan. Hardwood-smoked brisket, maple chipotle ribs, artisan sausages, and comforting house sides.
Every signature platter is served on butcher paper with your choice of two hardwood-smoked meats and three scratch-made sides.
Situated above Noksapyeong-daero on the second floor, Manimal Smokehouse brings authentic American barbecue technique to central Seoul. Founded on 15 years of dedicated pitmaster experience, every cut is treated with patience and seasoned hardwood smoke.
We cook with real oak logs in heavy offset smokers. The meat takes as long as it needs—rendered low and slow to create deep smoke rings and honest Texas textures without shortcuts.
A visual glimpse into our smoked platters, sides, craft beverages, and Noksapyeong second-floor dining space.
Authentic experiences shared by local diners, travelers, and barbecue enthusiasts.
"Fantastic experience here. Coming from Shanghai to visit in Seoul wanted to see what Texas style bbq might taste like. We were not disappointed. Met Jeff the pit master who explained he has been smoking for 15 years. We tried his brisket, smoked pork belly, Maple Chipotle baby back ribs, jalapeño and cheddar smoked sausage and sides. Macaroni and cheese was super tasty!"
"The best food we had during our 7 day holiday in a city that is already oversaturated with great and unique places to eat."
"We’re back! Second visit to South Korea and we had to come back here! I brought my partner with me this time who is vegetarian and she did not struggle to eat—side dishes served her needs perfectly. My mum and I both had the two meat platters which come with 3 sides. The food was incredible!"
"Delicious bbq! Their smoked chicken and Chipotle baby back ribs were very tender and flavorful. Their Mac and cheese was also very good."
"The restaurant looks nice and the service is good. The view from the window seats overlooking the street is enjoyable. Generous portions and a great craft beer selection."
Conveniently located on the 2nd floor along Noksapyeong-daero 40-gil in Yongsan District, Seoul.
