On a Cheongpyeong five-day market day we picked hanwoo (Korean beef) and Australian beef cut by cut, grilled them over charcoal at a Gapyeong pension, and got free enoki mushrooms and beef tendon (seuji). The beef was tender enough that the kids kept reaching for more, which is why we keep going back to Ari Chuksan. ## Good to know - **Location**: 23 Gangbyeon-ro 1F, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, near Cheongpyeong Bridge - **Nearby**: Right next to Hanaro Mart Cheongpyeong, Cheongpyeong five-day market - **Selection**: Pork, beef, chicken, duck, marinated meats (gochujang jeyuk, soy-sauce bulbaek, beef bulgogi, LA galbi, pork wang-gui, pork cutlet), wrap vegetables, eggs - **Sourcing**: Pork is Hi-Pork; beef is bought directly at auction - **Naver reservation perk**: Book ahead and get lettuce, shredded scallions, salt and sauce on arrival - **Delivery**: Free shipping on orders over 70,000 won - **Parking**: Roadside parking on market days - **Price reference**: ₩70,000 ≈ $50.5 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![Main image of Ari Chuksan, a butcher shop in Cheongpyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-01-157bq-1200.webp) We were back in Gapyeong and decided to revisit Ari Chuksan, a place we'd been to before. Last time we bought Cheongpyeong pork belly and the meat was genuinely delicious, so it stuck with us. This time we visited on a sponsored basis, but honestly, no other place in Gapyeong has tasted as good as this one, so we came back on our own terms too. If you're planning a barbecue at a Gapyeong pension, this is a great Gapyeong butcher shop to stop by — for us it's become a Cheongpyeong restaurant we trust and keep returning to. ## Where is Ari Chuksan, and where do you park on market day? Ari Chuksan sits at 23 Gangbyeon-ro, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, near Cheongpyeong Bridge. The area is nice for a light stroll along the bridge, and on market days you can also browse the Cheongpyeong five-day market. ![Busy street near Cheongpyeong Bridge on Cheongpyeong five-day market day](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-02-14no3-966.webp) The day we visited happened to be market day, so it was buzzing with people. We barely managed to squeeze into a roadside parking spot before heading into Ari Chuksan. Hanaro Mart Cheongpyeong branch is right next door, so it's convenient to pick up everything you need before heading to your Gapyeong pension. We usually grab groceries from the mart too, but for meat specifically, Ari Chuksan is clearly the best, so we make a point of stopping by separately. If you're looking for a Gapyeong butcher shop, this is a Cheongpyeong restaurant worth remembering. ![Exterior of Ari Chuksan store next to Cheongpyeong Bridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-03-lrkcd-966.webp) ![Ari Chuksan entrance and signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-04-1qrvp-966.webp) ![View in front of Ari Chuksan store](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-05-sqwl2-966.webp) ## What meat can you buy at Ari Chuksan? Walking in, the owner greeted us warmly. The refrigerated and frozen sections were packed with a huge variety of meat, all neatly organized. ![Meat neatly arranged in Ari Chuksan's refrigerated display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-06-6jjde-966.webp) ![Meat displayed in Ari Chuksan's frozen section](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-07-s2lz5-966.webp) You can pick from pork, beef, chicken, and duck all in one place, plus a wide range of seasoned meats. House-made seasoned meats like gochujang jeyuk (spicy pork), ganjang bulbaek (soy-marinated pork), beef bulgogi, LA galbi, pork wang-gui, and pork cutlet give you plenty of easy options for grilling at a Gapyeong pension. ![Display corner of house-made seasoned meats](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-08-mdtfg-966.webp) ![Packages of beef bulgogi and LA galbi seasoned meats](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-09-dfp9g-966.webp) Cuts like pork tomahawk and whole pork belly, perfect for barbecue, also caught our eye. The pre-seasoned ones looked like they'd be great straight on the charcoal grill. It seems especially well suited for anyone looking for Cheongpyeong pork belly for camping or pension barbecues. ![Pork tomahawk and whole pork belly for barbecue on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-10-1jm2b-966.webp) ### Wrap vegetables and eggs in the same stop It's not just meat, either. They also sell lettuce, peppers, mushrooms, and perilla leaves that go well with grilled meat, so if you're short on time you can get everything at Ari Chuksan without a separate trip to the mart. ![Corner selling wrap vegetables like lettuce and perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-11-r5vtv-966.webp) We noticed the price for a tray of jumbo eggs and it was cheaper than expected — that caught our attention. ![Tray of jumbo eggs with price tag](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-12-quep3-966.webp) ![아리축산 계란 진열 코너](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-13-1qy9m-966.webp) Since they butcher cattle in-house, the beef liver and tripe were kept impressively fresh too. ![Freshly stored beef liver and tripe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-14-1qzuh-966.webp) ![Display case of beef cuts at Ari Chuksan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-15-jo40j-966.webp) ![Hi-Pork brand pork on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-16-1y13f-966.webp) They said the pork is Hi-Pork brand, and the beef is sourced by buying good raw cuts directly at auction. Being able to compare different types and cuts of meat side by side is a real advantage when choosing a Gapyeong butcher shop. ### Naver reservation perks and delivery from Ari Chuksan They mentioned that if you reserve through Naver before visiting, they'll also prepare lettuce, sliced scallions, salt, and sauce to go with the meat. These are the small things that are easy to forget when prepping for a Gapyeong pension barbecue, so reserving ahead and grabbing it all at once is genuinely convenient. Orders over ₩70,000 come with free delivery, which is handy if you want to reorder from further away after trying it. ![Well-marbled beef on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-17-qn11l-966.webp) ## Choosing hanwoo and Australian beef side by side Last time we enjoyed Cheongpyeong pork belly, so this time we decided to try beef. We chose both Korean beef (hanwoo) and Australian beef, picking several cuts to compare. Looking at the marbling and color of the meat on display, we couldn't wait to grill it. ![Packaged Korean beef and Australian beef purchased at the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-18-ydb39-966.webp) They said they tend to be generous with extras if you visit on weekends. ![Enoki mushrooms and beef tendon given as a free service](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-19-l373o-966.webp) That day, they gave us enoki mushrooms and beef tendon (seuji) as a service, and told us the tendon tastes great added to ramyeon. These warm, generous extras are one more reason we remember Ari Chuksan as a Cheongpyeong restaurant. ## How the beef tasted grilled over charcoal at the Gapyeong pension Once we finished shopping, we headed back to the Gapyeong pension to start the barbecue we'd been looking forward to. ![Charcoal barbecue starting at the Gapyeong pension](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-20-1g18z-966.webp) Grilling meat over charcoal while taking in a beautiful view is one of the simple joys you can't skip on a Gapyeong trip. As soon as we laid the beef on the grill, the vivid color alone looked delicious. Watching the surface sear quickly over the charcoal and the juices rise to the top made it hard to wait. Meat picked out fresh from a Gapyeong butcher shop and grilled on the spot really does taste different. ![Beef cooking over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-21-cydk9-966.webp) ![Charcoal-grilled beef with juices rising](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-22-9drsv-966.webp) ![Beef pieces grilled to perfect doneness](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-23-erxej-966.webp) Without overcooking it, we grilled it just right and took a bite — it was so tender. Not the kind of meat that gets chewy the more you chew it, but something that melts in your mouth while the savory juices spread. With a faint hint of charcoal smoke on top, it was delicious enough to eat on its own without any seasoning. ![Plate with both Korean beef and Australian beef grilled together](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq-24-1wewh-966.webp) Both the Korean beef and the Australian beef were great, and better than expected, so it felt worth picking out a variety. The Cheongpyeong pork belly last time already had great juiciness, and now the beef succeeded too — we're already wondering which cut to try next. "A Cheongpyeong restaurant you keep coming back to because of the taste" perfectly describes our family's feelings about this place. ### Beef tender enough for the kids More than anything, the kids ate really well. The meat was tender enough that they had no trouble with it, and the moment they finished one piece they'd ask for more, keeping us busy at the grill. On days when feeding the kids doesn't take forever, that alone makes for an easy meal. My spouse and I paired the well-grilled beef with a glass of sake each. Eating meat full of charcoal aroma while taking in the travel scenery — that moment alone felt really good. It's this kind of taste that makes us look for pensions with barbecue options first when booking a Gapyeong pension. ## Why we keep going back to Ari Chuksan After enjoying the Cheongpyeong pork belly last time and now the beef, Ari Chuksan naturally comes to mind whenever we think of Gapyeong. It's a Gapyeong butcher shop with a wide variety of meats and vegetables for barbecue all in one place, which made grocery shopping during our trip that much easier. But in the end, what keeps bringing us back is simply the taste of the meat. Thanks to the tender beef that even the kids devoured, we left satisfied once again with Ari Chuksan, a Cheongpyeong restaurant we plan to revisit on our next trip to Gapyeong. ## Where it is - Ari Chuksan (아리축산) - 23 Gangbyeon-ro, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st floor - 경기도 가평군 청평면 강변로 23 1층 - 37.7346503, 127.4150823 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%84%EB%A6%AC%EC%B6%95%EC%82%B0/@37.7346503,127.4150823,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@city-edge-lunch/cheongpyeong-butcher-hanwoo-aussie-beef-bbq/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
