Visiting with my 7-year-old son, we used the kids' zone by the entrance with its arcade game and claw machine, the self-serve bar stocked with wrap vegetables, cheese and ramen noodles, and ordered thick-cut pork and bibim jjolmyeon (spicy chewy cold noodles). Mijin Chuksan Chilgok Branch is a spacious place that works just as well for a family meal with kids as for a larger group dinner. ## Good to know - **Address**: 122 Dongcheon-ro, 1F, Buk-gu, Daegu - **Hours (Sunday)**: 16:30 – 01:00 the next day - **Hours (weekdays)**: 17:00 – 01:00 the next day - **Last order**: 00:00 - **Chuseok holiday (September 24–26)**: 15:00 – 01:00 the next day - **Parking**: A few spaces in front of the restaurant plus the building's underground lot - **Review event**: Spam lunchbox or one bottle of soju - **Kids' zone**: Toys, arcade game, claw machine (claw machine costs extra) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![Mijin Chuksan Chilgok Branch main image](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-01-8d47v-966.webp) I heard there was a Korean BBQ spot in Chilgok that's famous for being both budget-friendly and great to visit with a baby, so I rushed straight over — here's my review! ![Exterior of Mijin Chuksan Chilgok Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-02-ypm8h-966.webp) ## Where is Mijin Chuksan Chilgok Branch, and what are the hours?

The moment my son walked in... he seemed to have already found his spot lol, settled right in lol lol. He's 7, so anything with these arcade games makes him so happy haha. ![A child sitting in front of the arcade game inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-03-gbdxc-966.webp) ![Arcade games and claw machine in the entrance kids' zone](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-04-44ejz-966.webp) Near the entrance there's a kids' zone where children can play for a bit. It has everything from toys to arcade games to a claw machine, so it was great for the kids to play a little before or after the meal — just note the claw machine has a separate usage fee 💰 ![Toys in the kids' zone at Mijin Chuksan Chilgok Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-05-18cak-966.webp) ## How big is the restaurant, and what's the atmosphere like? The place was actually a lot bigger in person than it looks in photos. When I visited there were quite a lot of customers, so it had a bustling, lively energy haha. ![Spacious dining hall bustling with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-06-1f81q-966.webp) ![A large table for groups at the BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-07-10o6g-966.webp) I saw tables with families and tables with larger groups eating together, so it seemed like a great place to visit with friends, for family meals out, or for company dinners — basically great for larger groups. ![Self-serve bar with lettuce wraps and side ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-08-1lycx-966.webp) ## What's on the self-serve bar at Mijin Chuksan Chilgok Branch? Mijin Chuksan Chilgok Branch had the best self-serve bar out of all the Korean BBQ places I've been to! It clicked why there were so many people haha 😋 There's lettuce wraps of course, plus kimchi, pickled vegetables, scallion salad and various side ingredients, and even cheese‼️ ![Self-serve bar ingredients including fernbrake, pineapple, and ramen noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-09-1q4xt-966.webp) There are also ingredients that are great to grill alongside the meat, like fernbrake and pineapple, plus ramen noodles and more — you can pick whatever sides suit your taste at the self-serve bar, which is the best 👍🏻 ![Sign for the spam lunchbox and soju review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-10-8u92g-966.webp) Don't forget to grab the review event — a spam lunchbox or a bottle of soju! ![Table set with various sauces and basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-11-rxouz-966.webp) Various sauces and basic side dishes A bubbling doenjang (soybean paste) soup — good on its own, but you can also bring over some ramen noodles and try it as a doenjang crab-flavor ramen 😋 ![Bubbling doenjang soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-12-14f4s-966.webp) ## How thick is the pork, and how does it taste? The moment the meat came out I was surprised — good quality, and quite a thick cut. ![A plate of thick-cut raw meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-13-12gn7-966.webp) ![Thick meat with just the right amount of fat marbling](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-14-1rp7q-966.webp) It had good thickness, with just the right amount of fat marbled through the lean meat, so once grilled it was juicy and savory rather than dry. Because of the thickness, once you sear the outside golden brown, the first bite bursts with juicy flavor, and the more you chew the more that distinctive savory meat flavor comes through. ![Meat grilling to a golden brown on the grill pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-15-1sdes-966.webp) Wrapping it in lettuce with garlic or sauce cuts the richness too, so I kept reaching for more without ever getting tired of it haha. Rolling it up with cheese (if you run low on cheese, there's more at the self-serve bar). ![A grilled piece of meat rolled with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-16-1prtb-1200.webp) ## Bibim jjolmyeon and the soda choices I was extra satisfied that Mijin Chuksan Chilgok Branch has bibim jjolmyeon (spicy chewy cold noodles) — eating a bite of meat followed by a bite of the noodles, that sweet-and-sour, spicy sauce resets your palate... which is exactly how you end up eating meat endlessly. ![Bibim jjolmyeon eaten alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork/michin-chukgsan-chilgok-kids-pork-17-1cor7-966.webp) Another thing that surprised me — unlike other Korean BBQ places, they had a variety of flavored sodas: watermelon soda, melon soda, even peach soda. This owner's sense of style is no joke‼️‼️haha ## Who is Mijin Chuksan Chilgok Branch best for? This was a place where I went for the meat and got surprised once by the size of the restaurant, then surprised again by how many customers were there. - ✔️Anyone looking for a budget-friendly Korean BBQ spot in Chilgok - ✔️Anyone looking for a spacious BBQ restaurant to visit with a large group - ✔️Anyone looking for a place to eat out with kids - ✔️Anyone who loves having a wide variety of side dishes This felt like the kind of place I'd think of again for a family meal with kids, a company dinner, or any day I want to eat meat comfortably with a bunch of people.
