Two servings of smoked pork belly came with bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) and beef kkakdugi bibimbap, and the thick-cut pork belly grilled over real charcoal had great smoky flavor and juiciness, with the side dishes standing out even more.

Walked in feeling excited. The atmosphere is upscale yet cozy and full of character — I was so surprised at how spacious and comfortable it is. Neatly arranged wooden tables with generous spacing between them. It was a late weekday afternoon, so it was great for photos >.< There are partitions that give a private feel, for those who prefer more personal gatherings. Perfect for company dinners, dates, family gatherings, or wedding invitation meetups. ![Byeoljin Hwarogui hall seating divided by partitions](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-04-1dnvb-966.webp) ![Interior of Byeoljin Hwarogui with wooden tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-05-12ndo-966.webp) There's also a room that fits up to 8! The place is so huge I couldn't fit it all into photos. ![Bar table seating at Byeoljin Hwarogui](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-06-1pysp-966.webp) It's a Korean BBQ restaurant but it really is upscale 😳 There's even a bar table. They even provide covers so your clothes don't pick up that grilled-meat smell — so thoughtful. The restroom inside was also super clean. Perfect score, perfect score. ![Neatly kept interior space at Byeoljin Hwarogui](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-07-15w84-966.webp) ## Smoked barbecue / smoked pork belly / crazy-good side dishes ![Byeoljin Hwarogui menu board with lunch special information](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-08-cud58-966.webp) The lunch special price is genuinely great value. Spoiler: not just the meat but the side dishes here are seriously delicious, so definitely try the lunch special. ![Byeoljin Hwarogui menu details](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-09-1nznv-966.webp) ## Byeoljin Hwarogui events Byeoljin is running various promotions right now! - Receipt review event: free naengmyeon - Reserve on Naver → free steamed egg - Arrive before 5 PM → free beef kkakdugi fried rice or braised beef - Arrive after 8 PM → free beef kkakdugi fried rice or braised beef - Birthday this month → free naengmyeon - First bottle corkage free — wine, whiskey (excludes traditional liquor) So many perks — definitely check them out before you go ☺️ Wow, when I got to the table there was a welcome letter with my name on it — so touched. ![Welcome letter with guest's name placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-10-1q843-966.webp) ![Basic side dish spread including olives and myeongi namul](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-11-1upfp-966.webp) ### The basic side dish spread The basic banchan arrived neatly laid out right away. One fresh wasabi, salt, and special sauce per person (so good). Olives and garlic pickles that go perfectly with meat, pickled onions, stir-fried kimchi, myeongi namul (wild garlic leaves). Having olives is a nice unusual touch! And everyone gets their own bowl of dongchimi (watery radish kimchi), which was so good my friend finished two bowls. ![Individual bowl of dongchimi served per person](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-12-pdwid-966.webp) A salad also comes out. You know a pre-meal salad is a must! Good for the blood sugar and all that. ![Pre-meal salad served before the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-13-oufqd-966.webp) First ordered some jinro soju and Cass beer. Wet the throat a bit and start. What I picked was: - Smoked pork belly, 2 servings - Bibim naengmyeon - Beef kkakdugi bibimbap ![Table with jinro soju and Cass beer at the BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-14-itips-966.webp) ![Ordered smoked pork belly for two set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-15-fwdus-966.webp) ### Smoked pork belly — ₩16,900 Wow, look at that gorgeous color. Smoked pork belly / ₩16,900. Thick-cut pork belly. Plated with colorful fresh garnish — shishito peppers, king oyster mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, eggplant. ![Thick-cut smoked pork belly plated with garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-16-1w71w-966.webp) Feels like being at a fancy barbecue joint. Straight onto the charcoal-heated grill it goes! ![Pork belly placed on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-17-1uxa5-966.webp) One pair of tongs per person haha. The kind you only see in mukbang videos — genuinely so convenient that I ordered my own set once I got home. They grip both the side dishes and meat so well. ![One pair of meat tongs provided per person](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-18-7u8ch-966.webp) ![Smoked pork belly grilling to a golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-19-17uhm-966.webp) The meat grills to a beautiful golden brown. There's a subtle smoky aroma woven through it. Thick, pretty cuts of meat, juices bursting out. First time trying smoked pork belly — had no idea it could be this good. ![A piece of smoked pork belly dipped in the special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-20-1usgv-966.webp) That special sauce is legitimately delicious, and the moment you dip a perfectly crisp-outside-tender-inside piece of pork belly into it, the rich juices and deep smoky aroma explode in your mouth — I couldn't help but gasp. So, so good. ![Bibim naengmyeon and beef kkakdugi bibimbap side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-21-n80tm-966.webp) ### Bibim naengmyeon (₩9,000) and beef kkakdugi bibimbap The true side dishes of meat. Bibim naengmyeon/₩9,000, beef kkakdugi bibimbap. Why are the side dishes here this good?! I'm not exaggerating, it's insanely delicious. Wrap the meat with the spicy-tangy, chewy noodles, then take a bite of beef kkakdugi bibimbap on the hot sizzling plate — crunchy kkakdugi (radish kimchi) and savory beef packed in — pure bliss. ![Beef kkakdugi bibimbap being stir-fried on the hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-22-133kv-966.webp) Hands too busy from how delicious it was. ![Crispy rice bits stuck to the bottom of the fried rice pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-23-3u8wv-966.webp) Even scraped up the crispy rice bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. So, so good... such a happy meal. ## Byeoljin Hwarogui final verdict An upscale, spacious Korean BBQ spot. Subtle smoky aroma, thick juicy smoked pork belly, a tidy basic banchan spread. The meat itself is excellent, and side dishes like bibim naengmyeon and beef kkakdugi bibimbap are genuinely amazing at Byeoljin Hwarogui. Highly, highly recommend ㅜㅜ!! Definitely going back. ![Smoked pork belly being grilled at Byeoljin Hwarogui](https://img.superchart.com/images/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal-24-dkia8-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Byeoljin Hwarogui (별진화로구이) - 11 Hangang-daero 77-gil, 1F Byeoljin, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 용산구 한강대로77길 11 1층 별진 - 37.541775, 126.9721264 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B3%84%EC%A7%84%ED%99%94%EB%A1%9C%EA%B5%AC%EC%9D%B4/@37.541775,126.9721264,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cup-and-plate/byeoljin-hwaro-gui-smoked-samgyeopsal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
