A family of three ordered the whole pig set (700g) for ₩64,000 and had staff grill pork belly, pork neck, nakyeopsal (special cut), and herbal pork skin all the way through, served with seven sauces. With a semi-private room and roomy tables, it's a solid pick for a group dinner in Bongmyeong-dong. ## Good to know - **Whole pig set (700g)**: ₩64,000 · serves 3–4 - **Set contents**: raw whole pork belly + whole pork neck + special cut (nakyeopsal) + herbal pork skin - **À la carte**: whole pork belly, whole pork neck, special cuts assortment, pork skin, pork jowl (hangjeongsal) - **Sides & drinks**: stew, ramen, etc. / regular liquor, table cocktails, highballs - **Parking**: 3 spots in front of the building; nearby alleys if full - **Payment**: Cheongju Pay not accepted - **Reservations**: Available via Naver Reservation - **Seating**: Indoor waiting area, semi-private room inside - **Event**: Free plate of herbal pork skin for a receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* I heard there was an upscale, staff-grilled BBQ place in Bongmyeong-dong, so I checked it out. It's Anmin, a well-known restaurant in Cheongju's Bongmyeong-dong — popular enough to have a second branch in Yulryang-dong, and the meat was really good. My family had a genuinely satisfying meal here after a while! ## Things to check before you visit - 3 parking spots in front of the building; nearby alleys if full - Cheongju Pay not accepted ✖️ - Naver Reservation available ## Anmin Cheongju Bongmyeong-dong branch exterior and parking ![Exterior of Anmin, a Korean BBQ restaurant in Bongmyeong-dong, Cheongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-01-1k5qi-966.webp) Anmin has two branches — one in Bongmyeong-dong and one in Yulryang-dong. We visited the Bongmyeong-dong location this time. Only about 3–4 cars can park in front of the building, so we parked in a nearby alley. ## Interior mood and semi-private room You feel the upscale vibe the moment you walk in! When we arrived the place was nearly full, and by the time we left there was even a waitlist. That's how popular this Bongmyeong-dong restaurant is. ![Indoor waiting area near the entrance of Anmin Cheongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-02-19vgi-966.webp) There's a waiting area on the left. Having an indoor waiting space makes for a more comfortable wait...! ![Dim, upscale hall seating at Anmin Bongmyeong-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-03-gv73v-966.webp) ![Interior of Anmin with spacious tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-04-1s9mx-966.webp) The inside of Anmin Bongmyeong-dong is dim and has an upscale feel. The tables are big and the space is spacious, so it felt comfortable. ![Semi-private room seating at Anmin, good for group dinners](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-05-1hvaq-966.webp) There's also a semi-private room in the back, which seems perfect for business dinners. I'd recommend booking that room in advance. There really were a lot of groups having dinners there. A staff-grilled BBQ place that's also this clean — highly recommend for a Bongmyeong-dong group dinner spot! ☑️ ![Anmin's brand story printed on the table cover](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-06-1b63l-966.webp) There's a tablecloth laid out, and they counted guests one by one. Anmin, a Bongmyeong-dong BBQ restaurant that's clearly had many customers! I also read through Anmin's brand story and their tips for enjoying the meal. ## Menu lineup ![Anmin Cheongju's meat menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-07-toct5-966.webp) ![Menu board listing sides and drinks at Anmin](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-08-11thm-966.webp) The à la carte meat menu includes whole pork belly, whole pork neck, a special cuts assortment, pork skin, and pork jowl, and you can also choose whole or half sets. Sides include a variety of options like stew and ramen. There's also a wide selection of drinks — regular liquor, table cocktails, and highballs — so you can pair different drinks with the meat 🍹 ![Staff call button showing request options](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-09-5374l-966.webp) You can press a call button to easily request side dish refills, extra cutlery, and more. There were even options for sauce explanations and commemorative photos, which was fun! ## Basic side dishes and seven sauces The basic table setting was really clean. The side dishes and sauces were neatly gathered on a tray. The table was spacious, and since it's grilling service, the grill pan sits off to one side, so the tabletop never feels cluttered — a relaxed meal was possible. The water was nutty roasted barley tea, which was nice too! ![Anmin's basic side dishes and sauces arranged on a tray](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-10-14lu6-966.webp) The basic side dishes were seasonal pickles, well-fermented green onion kimchi, washed kimchi with yuzu-pickled radish, cabbage salad, barley ssamjang (dipping sauce), and lettuce wraps. And there were so many sauces — pine flower salt, curry bean powder, cumin, shiitake wasabi, cooked hairtail intestine jeotgal (salted seafood), fish sauce, and cheese fondue sauce — seven kinds in total 👏 Both the side dishes and the sauces were genuinely all delicious... ![Sauce and side dish guide placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-11-1le06-966.webp) It also helps to check the sauce and side dish guide placed on the table! ![Charcoal and the in-house-made grill pan at Anmin](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-12-luvv0-966.webp) The charcoal looked great, and especially the grill pan — it's a special one made in-house by Anmin, so you get a distinctive grilling experience. ## Whole pig set (700g), ₩64,000 ![Raw meat components of the whole pig set (700g)](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-13-1qn0s-966.webp) A 700g whole pig set with raw whole pork belly + raw whole pork neck + raw special cut (nakyeopsal) + herbal pork skin — great for 3–4 people to share! There were three of us, so this is what we ordered. ![Staff grilling the whole pig set on the grill pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-14-wut2e-966.webp) Anmin is a Bongmyeong-dong BBQ restaurant where staff grill everything from start to finish. Not having to worry about whose turn it is to grill makes this a top candidate for a group dinner spot!! It was also nice being with family, since we could just relax and talk. ![Whole pork belly and whole pork neck grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-15-2hf7d-1200.webp) ![Cherry tomatoes and vegetables grilled alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-16-1hi2b-966.webp) Since it's a whole cut of pork, getting the doneness just right can be tricky, but the staff grilled it perfectly, making it even more enjoyable. A few cherry tomatoes, eggplant, king oyster mushrooms, and garlic scapes came out too. Once the meat is fully grilled, they place it on a mini brazier. The gentle heat keeps it warm while you eat. ![Fully grilled meat placed on a mini brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-17-1azka-966.webp) ### How the pork neck and pork belly tasted The pork neck had an outstanding savory, clean flavor. Being a whole cut, it was thick but still tender, which I loved. The pork belly was chewy and savory, with just the right fat ratio — really delicious! My family, eating genuinely great meat after a while, was thoroughly satisfied at this Bongmyeong-dong BBQ restaurant in Cheongju 🖤 ![A piece of grilled pork belly dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-18-wg5yb-966.webp) ![Grilled pork paired with the seven sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-19-flwkw-966.webp) For the first bite, dipping it in salt to taste the meat's natural flavor is great, and after that I tried various sauces to my taste. The hairtail intestine jeotgal wasn't fishy at all, and it was fine, and the cheese fondue sauce was sweet and savory in a way that kept pulling me back! ![Meat dipped in cheese fondue sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-20-55x5h-966.webp) ![Grilled nakyeopsal, the special cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-21-nid3l-966.webp) ### Special cut: nakyeopsal The special cut, nakyeopsal, had a springy, chewy texture and a great savory flavor — genuinely delicious! I almost wanted to order the special cuts assortment separately... ![Lettuce wraps and basic side dishes served with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-22-15xvp-966.webp) There were no unnecessary side dishes — all of them paired well with the meat, and they tasted great too, so my hand kept reaching for more. ![Herbal pork skin grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-23-eerg9-966.webp) ### Herbal pork skin The pork skin especially was really delicious. It's herbal pork skin flavored with various medicinal herbs — the subtle herbal aroma was appealing, and the chewy, springy yet soft texture was so good!! ![Herbal pork skin dipped in curry bean powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set-24-1qok3-966.webp) Dipping it in the bean powder doubled the savory flavor! You can get a free plate of herbal pork skin for writing a receipt review, so if you love pork skin, definitely take part ✔️ ## Summary With its upscale atmosphere and grilling service, Anmin is a Bongmyeong-dong BBQ restaurant in Cheongju that's perfect for a group dinner. Between the clean table setting and the quality meat, it was a satisfying meal at this Cheongju Bongmyeong-dong restaurant ✨ ## Where it is - Anmin Cheongju (안민 청주) - 40 Deogam-ro 12beon-gil, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea - 충청북도 청주시 흥덕구 덕암로12번길 40 1층 - 36.6507177, 127.4551102 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%88%EB%AF%BC%20%EC%B2%AD%EC%A3%BC/@36.6507177,127.4551102,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-lunch-signs/anmin-cheongju-bongmyeong-pork-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
