We started with pork belly first. On your first order, you get one free plate of mushrooms. ![Complimentary plate of mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-09-frxyi-900.webp) Extra mushrooms, ₩2,000. We love mushrooms so we added more, and honestly we were surprised how much you get for the price. ![Plate of extra mushrooms ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-10-yhzis-729.webp) We put the meat on the grill and started off with a cold beer. ## Pork belly grilled over charcoal heat ![Pork belly cooking on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-11-d5zz6-900.webp) Grilled over charcoal, the heat was really intense. And the meat tastes better if you cut it once it's almost fully cooked — that way you lock in the juices! ![Golden-brown grilled pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-12-87ufy-900.webp) We tried it first with musaengchae (spicy radish salad) — sweet, tangy, and spicy with a bit of icy slush on top, it was so good paired with the meat!! ![Icy musaengchae radish salad with grilled meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-13-1b7pi-900.webp) ![Lettuce wrap piled with meat, rice, and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-14-kutss-900.webp) Piling thick slices of meat, rice, bean sprouts and onion onto fresh lettuce and eating it with the crisp lettuce salad and golden-brown meat was clean and packed with flavor — we never got tired of it, all the way through. ![Full table spread with the grilled meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-15-17qmq-900.webp) ### Doenjang jjigae, ₩2,000 You can't have pork belly without doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew)! It came out bubbling in a hot stone bowl and stayed hot to the last spoonful, rich and savory. The spicy, deep umami cut through the fattiness of the meat perfectly — a great partner that made a whole bowl of rice disappear. ![Doenjang jjigae served bubbling in a stone bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-16-1jrdk-900.webp) ### Pork jowl, ₩6,900 per 100g ![Plate of raw pork jowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-17-cj5xk-900.webp) ![Pork jowl cooking on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-18-1dfza-900.webp) After the pork belly, we also tried pork jowl, and the texture was totally different — that distinctive slightly crunchy yet chewy bite, savory and juicy the more you chew. ![Fully grilled pork jowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-19-w0emj-900.webp) ### Bibimnaengmyeon, ₩4,500 ![Bowl of bibimnaengmyeon with sauce on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-20-wgezz-900.webp) ![Mixed bibimnaengmyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-21-nxrid-900.webp) We ordered bibimnaengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) partway through the meal. The noodles were chewy and the sauce nice and tangy — great wrapped up with the charcoal-grilled meat. ![Complimentary slushie served to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-22-h73md-900.webp) ![Cool slushie served in a cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill-23-11un8-m-900.webp) ## A free slushie to finish The slushie is complimentary. After eating our fill of meat, it was a really clean, refreshing way to end the meal. My kid loved it haha. With great meat, plenty of side dishes and sides, good value, and easy parking, this place seems like a great spot for a family gathering or work dinner in Taejeon-dong. ## Where it is - Sangnok Hoegwan Yeontan-gui Taejeon Branch (상록회관 연탄구이 태전점) - 350-6 Hoean-daero, 1F, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 광주시 회안대로 350-6 1층 - 37.3842394, 127.2363542 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%83%81%EB%A1%9D%ED%9A%8C%EA%B4%80%20%EC%97%B0%ED%83%84%EA%B5%AC%EC%9D%B4%20%ED%83%9C%EC%A0%84%EC%A0%90/@37.3842394,127.2363542,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chungcheong-meal-postcards/sangnok-hoegwan-taejeon-charcoal-grill/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
