Yullyang-dong BBQ with Sunset mocktail while pregnant: Anmin Yullyang

Hi, this is Yeni :) I heard that eating plenty of grilled meat before giving birth is something you won't regret, so I went straight out to find a BBQ restaurant in Yullyang-dong. I'd been to another Anmin location in Bongmyeong-dong before and remembered it fondly, so I was curious about the Yullyang branch too!

My conclusion: it's delicious as expected, the interior is upscale, and since the staff grill everything for you, it's a great spot for a group dinner.

Why Anmin Yullyang works for a group dinner in Yullyang-dong, Cheongju

If you're looking for a good group-dinner BBQ spot in Yullyang-dong, I recommend Anmin. Here's why:

• Spacious seats and tables
• Private interior
• Meat grilled for you by staff
• A BBQ restaurant that lets you focus on conversation
• Delicious meat and menu items

There are other reasons too, but when it comes to group dinners, being able to focus on conversation matters — and since the staff grill everything for you, eating is easy. The tables and seats are spacious too, so even coming with a group and ordering lots of dishes felt comfortable!

The interior is designed so well that it acts like a partition between tables, giving it a private atmosphere. That makes it even easier to focus on your own table — perfect for a group dinner!

Very pregnant me, diligently eating meat haha. The lighting is pretty too, so photos come out nicely.

The banchan (side dishes) pair well with the meat too — pickled vegetables, green onion kimchi, salted hairtail guts jeotgal, house sauce, and fish sauce, all classy touches that give this BBQ restaurant a really upscale feel.

What to order at Anmin Yullyang: pork skin, jowl and the special cuts

Let me recommend some menu items at this Yullyang-dong BBQ restaurant! There's pork skin jowl, pork neck, pork belly, and special cuts. Personally, if you like jowl meat and a chewy texture, I recommend the pork skin jowl. And if you like savory, meaty aromas, you'll enjoy the special cuts.

Beyond that, the stews, ramen, and cocktails were all delicious too — there's nothing you can go wrong with at this Yullyang-dong BBQ spot that's great for group dinners.

The Sunset mocktail, flavored with lemon juice and orange juice, was tangy and sweet — great for cleansing the palate throughout the meal.

Two servings of special cuts: galmaegisal and deungsimdeotsal

Today's meat was two servings of special cuts! It came as a combo of galmaegisal (skirt meat) and deungsimdeotsal, which you can only find at Anmin Yullyang. A vegetable garnish to go with it is included by default, and if you like vegetables more, you can order extra as a side.

The grilling service felt effortless again today! You just sit and chat, and before you know it, they've handed you perfectly grilled meat.

Wow... the staff's grilling skills are no joke. The savory aroma of the meat cooking fills the air at this Yullyang-dong BBQ restaurant, making your mouth water.

Grilled to just the right degree like this, all you have to do is eat when you come for a group dinner — doesn't that sound easy?!

As always, the first bite dipped in just salt is best for tasting the meat's true flavor. Since I love wasabi, I asked for some and added it on top. The meat itself was so savory and delicious that I stuck to just salt the whole time haha.

Once the perfectly grilled meat is placed on the mini brazier, you just pick pieces off one by one. Since there's a small flame under the brazier too, even the last pieces stayed warm. The well-grilled vegetables were delicious eaten alongside each piece!

Dipping the meat deep into the salted hairtail guts jeotgal, which I love, gives it a really wonderful flavor. The sauces that don't overpower the taste of the meat really make this Yullyang-dong BBQ restaurant shine even more.

Sides at Anmin Yullyang: steamed egg custard and soyu ramen

Here are the steamed egg custard and soyu ramen I ordered as sides. Both had a subtle Japanese-style feel to them.

The fluffy steamed egg custard was really savory yet soft, with none of that eggy off-smell. There was a faint hint of bonito flakes, which gave it even more depth. If you're having a drink at your group dinner, I think this would make a great side dish for it too.

I finished with the soyu ramen as a palate cleanser, and honestly, the quality was good enough to make you wonder — is this a ramen shop or a BBQ restaurant? I felt like you could have a drink at your group dinner and get some hangover relief at the same time haha.

If you're wondering where to hold your group dinner in Yullyang-dong, don't hesitate — go check out Anmin. I think it'll be a choice you won't regret!
