Family dinner pork BBQ in Yeongjong: sunlit window seat at Hanmaeum

Hanmaeum Jeonguk Sikdang Yeongjong Sky City Branch (한마음정육식당 영종하늘도시점) is a butcher-shop-style Korean BBQ restaurant in Yeongjong Sky City, Incheon. The blogger booked a dinner table, sat at a sunlit window seat and ate the half-pig set with jjolmyeon (chewy spicy-sweet noodles), and was impressed by the thoughtful touches: high chairs, a playroom CCTV monitor, mouthwash, a coffee machine and friendly staff. For a family BBQ meal out with kids in Yeongjong, Hanmaeum Jeonguk Sikdang Yeongjong Sky City Branch is a satisfying choice.
