Over dinner with a friend of 30 years, the Anmin half-pig set brought pork belly, pork neck and pork skin, and staff grilled it at the table and handed over the pork neck dipped in pine pollen salt, tender and full of juice, before a finish of hwang doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) with an extra serving of hand-torn dough flakes. Even a diner who never used to order pork neck called this the best pork neck of their life. ## Good to know - **Address**: 64 Dongjin-ro, 2nd floor, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam - **Hours**: 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM (last order 9:30 PM) - **Ordered**: Anmin half-pig set (pork belly, pork neck, pork skin), hwang doenjang jjigae, extra hand-torn dough flakes - **Parking**: Iutnanum public parking lot (across from Han Eobuwa Bada in Seok-dong) - **Seating**: Bar tables, couple seats, group tables - **Payment**: Zero Pay accepted - **Reservations**: Available on Naver; groups welcome *as written by the visitor on Aug 11, 2026* ![Anmin Jinhae whole-pig BBQ cover image](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-01-1mg23-900.webp) Wondering where to find good BBQ around Seok-dong in Jinhae?

😋 ## Pork neck, pork skin and pork belly: how the three cuts compare ![Anmin half-pig set on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-11-152x4-900.webp) *Anmin half-pig set* Honestly, I usually prefer pork belly over pork neck because pork neck tends to feel dry 😅 ![Golden brown grilled pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-12-16i2q-900.webp) *Grilled pork neck* But here... the pork neck was insane! 🤩 They placed the very first piece of grilled pork neck on my plate 🌟 ![First piece of pork neck served on an individual plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-13-1qncj-900.webp) *That first bite~~* and told me to dip it lightly in pine pollen salt 🧂 — the moment I took a bite, my eyes genuinely widened, no exaggeration! 👀✨ How could pork neck be this tender yet chewy, with juices spreading through my whole mouth~ wow~😍 I can confidently say it was the best pork neck I've ever had!!! 🏆 The pork skin was chewy and savory through and through~~🎉 chewy but didn't stick to my teeth, which was even better, and the pork belly — well, I don't even need to say it, it was just soooo good I realized that with meat, quality matters of course, but who grills it and how also really matters! Once cooked, the meat was kept on a small brazier so we could eat it warm the whole time! 😋 ## Pine pollen salt, shiitake wasabi and yuzu pickled radish They also kindly explained how to enjoy the sauces 🎶 grilled green onion dipped in fish sauce tasted almost like a salad 👍 ![A piece of meat topped with shiitake wasabi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-14-1bu5t-900.webp) *Shiitake wasabi meat* My personal favorite, the shiitake wasabi sauce, exploded the umami of the meat 🌶 The cheese fondue topped with breadcrumbs 🧀 let you enjoy softness and crunch at once, which kids would probably love too 💖 ![Sauces and side dishes served with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-15-mt9ew-900.webp) ![Side dishes including yuzu wrap radish and pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-16-mrtr1-900.webp) ![Meat wrapped in yuzu wrap radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-17-mdn1h-900.webp) ![Meat wrap topped with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-18-10gyb-900.webp) There was a yuzu wrap radish I'd never seen before, and its fresh citrus scent cleanly cut through the richness of the meat — meat on the radish, pickles on top~ (suddenly thinking of an old Korean drama, showing my age here haha ㅋㅋㅋ) then sauce on top, wrapped up and eaten — it was absolutely delicious! 🍋 ## Highballs and the hwang doenjang jjigae finish ![Highball menu including Earl Grey and basil tomato flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-19-thueh-900.webp) *Highball menu* It wasn't just the meat — the highball selection was really varied too 🍹 From Earl Grey highball to basil tomato, acacia, there were so many I was curious about 🍋 but I'd driven, so I couldn't have any, which was such a shame 😭 Next time I'll leave my car at home 🚗 and definitely enjoy a highball too 🍻 (Oh wait! Didn't take a photo~~😓 ended up snapping it mid-bite ;;) A meal isn't complete without a stew after the meat~~~ so for our finishing dish we ordered the hwang doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) 🍲 it was packed with mussels and crab, and the broth was incredibly clean and deep 🦀✨ Just looking at the photo now while writing this at night is making me crave it again — not telling anyone~😅 ![Dumpling soup noodles added to the hwang doenjang jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-20-190rs-900.webp) *Added dumpling soup noodles* We're both dumpling soup lovers, so we even added a serving of dumpling soup noodles, and picking out the chewy pieces was so much fun! 💯 ## The receipt photo booth at the entrance Even in the middle of a rush with customers pouring in, the staff never lost their smile while serving us ✨ ![Entrance of Anmin Jinhae](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-21-vrziz-900.webp) *Store entrance* Even while paying at the end of the meal, they kindly asked if the service had been good, which really left an impression on me 😊 On the way out, we spotted a receipt photo booth at the entrance 📸 ![Photo taken at the entrance receipt photo booth](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-22-zuoej-900.webp) *Receipt photo* My 30-year best friend and I took a few shots like we were back in high school taking sticker photos — so nostalgic and fun! 👭 The meat was amazing, but little touches like this made the place even more memorable! 💖 For anyone in Seok-dong, Jinhae looking for a truly delicious BBQ spot, especially the best pork neck of your life, I genuinely, truly recommend Anmin Jinhae !!!👍👍👍 ![Atmosphere inside Anmin Jinhae](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-23-1ifcx-900.webp) There were so many customers I couldn't take many photos of the interior, but after eating there myself, I 200% understood why it's always so packed. 😘 I'm definitely coming back next time for the highballs! 🍹 ![Final shot of the table spread at Anmin Jinhae](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck-24-199lp-900.webp) With excellent meat quality, friendly service, fun little extras, and a varied spread of sides and sauces, Anmin Jinhae is a Seok-dong restaurant I'd strongly recommend for anyone who wants a satisfying, well-rounded meal ✨ ## Anmin Jinhae: hours, parking and reservations - Address | 64 Dongjin-ro, 2nd floor, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam, South Korea - Hours | 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM (last order 9:30 PM) - Parking | Iutnanum public parking lot (across from Han Eobuwa Bada in Seok-dong) - Seating & space | Bar table, couple seats, group seats - Payment | Zero Pay accepted - Other | Reservations available, group bookings possible ## Where it is - Anmin Jinhae (안민 진해) - 64 Dongjin-ro, 2nd floor, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam, South Korea - 경상남도 창원시 진해구 동진로 64 2층 - 35.1515706, 128.7021502 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%88%EB%AF%BC%20%EC%A7%84%ED%95%B4/@35.1515706,128.7021502,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coastal-restaurant-days/anmin-jinhae-seokdong-pork-neck/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
