The order was three servings of whole pork neck (생돼지통목살) plus a side of white cheese fried rice, grilled by staff from start to finish and eaten with pine pollen salt, shiitake wasabi, cheese fondue and soybean powder. For a gathering where you'd rather talk than watch the grill, Anmin Yullyang is an easy choice. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 25-2 Yullyang-ro 201beon-gil, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do - **Type**: Fresh-pork charcoal grill restaurant - **What we ordered**: Whole pork neck (생돼지통목살), 3 servings; white cheese fried rice (side) - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; use alley parking or a nearby public parking lot - **Seating**: Hall tables plus a private room for 6-10 people - **Ordering**: Tablet ordering at every table - **Service**: Staff grill the meat from start to finish and move it to a small serving plate *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Table setting of whole pork neck at Anmin Yullyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-01-3wnr9-1200.webp) These days a lot of BBQ restaurants are decorated really nicely. But Anmin Yullyang, which I visited this time, felt different from the entrance onward. ![Anmin Yullyang entrance with stone wall and wood-toned door](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-02-1hfdm-900.webp) Anmin, a well-known spot in Yullyang-dong, looked so luxurious from the first glance that I thought, wait, is this really a BBQ place? With a stone-wall-style exterior, wood-toned doors, and cute little piglets painted above the entrance for a fun touch. Let me share my review of Anmin Yullyang. 25-2 1F Yullyang-ro 201beon-gil, Cheongwon-gu ![Exterior of Anmin Yullyang combining natural stone and wood](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-03-179yb-900.webp) ## Where is Anmin Yullyang, and what kind of BBQ restaurant is it? Anmin Yullyang, a well-known Yullyang-dong spot, is a whole-pork charcoal grill restaurant. It's located at 25-2 1F Yullyang-ro 201beon-gil, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju. The exterior combines natural stone and wood for an overall heavy yet upscale feel. There's no dedicated parking lot, so you'll want to use street parking or a nearby public lot. Once you open the door, the interior gives you another twist, haha. The wood-toned interior with bamboo-like materials and green plants scattered throughout creates a warm yet stylish atmosphere. The ceiling is exposed, but combined with the wood interior it actually feels quite tasteful. What I liked most of all was how clean it was. Each table came fully set with paper cups, glass cups, tissues, and wet wipes, which was really convenient. ![Interior of Anmin Yullyang decorated with wood tones and plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-04-s1ae3-900.webp) ![Table at Anmin Yullyang set with cups and wet wipes](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-05-5wyji-900.webp) ### A private room for 6-10: work dinners and family gatherings Anmin Yullyang also has a private room on one side that fits about 6–10 people comfortably, making it a good option for a Yullyang-dong BBQ work dinner or a family gathering. When I visited, there were both family groups and friend groups using it. ![Private room at Anmin Yullyang for 6–10 people](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-06-smj2x-900.webp) ## What we ordered: 3 servings of pork neck and white cheese fried rice At Anmin Yullyang, you order from a tablet at each table. I ordered three servings of whole pork neck (생돼지통목살), plus white cheese fried rice as a side. ![Tablet ordering screen at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-07-kfti3-840.webp) ### What banchan (side dishes) come with the meal? Here's the banchan (side dishes) that arrived shortly after. Seasonal pickles, well-fermented green onion kimchi, barley ssamjang with lettuce wraps, cabbage salad, cool radish kimchi, and yuzu, among a wide variety of items that pair well with meat. The lettuce especially was so fresh — take a bite of meat, wrap it in a lettuce leaf, perfect, haha. ![Banchan spread with seasonal pickles and lettuce wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-08-1gthk-900.webp) I also liked that the table had a card explaining exactly what each banchan was. And while grilling the meat, the staff at Anmin Yullyang kindly explained each one again in person. ![Card on the table explaining the banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-09-lvw7h-900.webp) ## What the staff grilling service is actually like Finally, the main event. The visuals alone screamed fresh, haha. What I ordered was three servings of whole pork neck. Plump pork neck arrived alongside king oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and shishito peppers. But Anmin's biggest advantage starts right here, haha. They grill the meat from start to finish for you. Grilling meat is honestly a bit stressful, isn't it? I'm not great at it myself, so at BBQ restaurants I'm often enjoying the meal while also worrying about the timing. At Anmin Yullyang, I didn't need to worry about any of that. ![Whole pork neck with mushrooms and shishito peppers on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-10-18f5x-900.webp) The staff member grilled the meat all the way from start to a perfectly ready-to-eat state. Watching the pork neck turn golden brown, I thought, ah, this is what proper grilling service looks like! Maybe because it was grilled so well, even though it was pork neck, it wasn't dry at all — golden and crisp on the outside, moist and tender inside. The juices were still there, and for a moment eating pork neck felt as tender as eating beef. After finishing the grilling, they move the meat onto a small grill plate, which is also a really nice touch. ![Small grill plate holding the meat grilled by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-11-v4lti-900.webp) ![Golden-brown grilled pork neck pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-12-1v0xt-900.webp) It meant I could enjoy every last bite warm. There's also a vent right above the table that sucks up the smoke, so even with continuous grilling, the room stayed comfortable and never felt stuffy. ## Four ways to eat the pork neck: pine pollen salt, shiitake wasabi, cheese fondue, soybean powder The first bite, as the staff suggested, I dipped in pine flower salt. It was clean and let the natural flavor of the meat really come through. ![A piece of pork neck dipped in pine flower salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-13-xerbw-900.webp) ![Plate with pine flower salt and sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-14-ywrzd-900.webp) Next I tried a bit of shiitake wasabi on top, and the earthy flavor of the shiitake combined with the wasabi's kick made it go down clean without any greasiness. Dipping it in cheese fondue sauce added a savory, creamy layer that gave it a totally different feel. Highly recommend. ![Pork neck dipped in cheese fondue sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-15-rzz25-900.webp) ![A piece of pork neck topped with shiitake wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-16-hukle-900.webp) Dipped in soybean powder, the nuttiness comes alive even more, and paired with the cabbage salad, the tangy crunch really wakes up your appetite. ![Soybean powder served with cabbage salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-17-16qsr-900.webp) Wrapping it in fresh lettuce needs no explanation. In particular, putting a piece of pork neck on top of the seasonal pickles with some garlic or seasoning made for a clean yet deep flavor that I personally really liked. ![Lettuce wrap with pork neck and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-18-1yw5h-900.webp) ![A piece of pork neck placed on seasonal pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-19-jf0t8-900.webp) ![Pork neck spread served with various sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-20-e847g-878.webp) At Anmin Yullyang, you can enjoy one type of meat in so many different combinations that you never get tired of it while eating. ## Is the white cheese fried rice worth ordering? And then the side I ordered, white cheese fried rice. I asked the staff what side dish was good, and they said it was really tasty so I ordered it — honestly, when it first arrived I thought, what is this, haha. But after tasting it, my opinion completely changed. ![White cheese fried rice ordered as a side](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-21-iasuy-900.webp) ![A creamy spoonful of white cheese fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-22-1pj4o-900.webp) The savory cream sauce soaked into mushrooms and cheese, with a slight spicy kick, made for a soft dish that wasn't overly rich. The texture was thick and creamy, and the cheese's savoriness clung to your mouth — this was genuinely delicious. Finishing off pork neck with white cheese fried rice is a combination I highly, highly recommend. Personally, out of everything I ate that day, this was the dish I thought, I definitely need to eat this again. ## Final verdict on Anmin Yullyang Anmin Yullyang felt less like a place to simply eat meat and more like a whole-pork charcoal grill restaurant where you enjoy the atmosphere and service together. ![View of the Anmin Yullyang hall with bamboo and plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-23-offe8-900.webp) With its upscale wood interior blended with bamboo and plants, plus a private room, it seemed like a solid choice when looking for a Yullyang-dong BBQ spot for a group dinner. What I especially liked was that since the staff grill the meat from start to finish, conversation never gets interrupted by grilling duties — you can just sit back and focus on the food and the chat. ![Table at Anmin Yullyang near the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice-24-g3mjz-900.webp) I was also very satisfied with getting to try the pork neck in so many different ways thanks to the variety of sauces and side pairings. And above all, the white cheese fried rice — highly recommend. If you're in Yullyang 3-jigu looking for a Yullyang 3-jigu BBQ spot that also delivers on atmosphere, this place is worth a visit. And since Anmin makes all its ingredients in-house, knowing that made me feel the care put into the food even more. If you want to enjoy delicious meat while leaving the grilling to the staff and relaxing, this Yullyang-dong pork belly favorite, Anmin Yullyang, gets a big thumbs up from me. I'd come back a million percent. ## Where it is - Anmin Yullyang (안민 율량) - 25-2 1F Yullyang-ro 201beon-gil, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea - 충청북도 청주시 청원구 율량로201번길 25-2 1층 - 36.6645078, 127.5003852 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%88%EB%AF%BC%20%EC%9C%A8%EB%9F%89/@36.6645078,127.5003852,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@before-plates-arrive/anmin-yullyang-pork-neck-cheese-fried-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
