Today I rushed over so excited because I found a genuinely legendary BBQ spot in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan!
Wow... the meat quality, the smoky aroma, the service, the banchan lineup — nothing here was lacking! If you love meat, you absolutely need to save this place. Let me introduce it right now!
What comes with the rice-husk smoking pan at Cham Dwaejitgan
Inside the grill pan at Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch, there's rice husk laid out. Can you see the rice husk inside the pan!?!? As the meat grills, this rice husk gives it that smoky aroma! The smell is seriously insane, I swear.
Here's how the basic banchan (side dishes) come out!!! Ssamjang (soybean paste), spicy sauce, wasabi, shiitake mushroom wasabi ssamjang, garlic, scallion salad, bean sprouts, minari (water celery)!!!
Especially that tangy, savory mushroom wasabi combined with crunchy minari, plus bean sprouts and kimchi grilled right on the pan — that combo was seriously the best! With so many different sauces, every bite of meat could be a new combination, so I never got tired of it.
Two servings of pork belly, one of pork neck, grilled by the staff
We ordered two servings of pork belly and one serving of pork neck at Cham Dwaejitgan!! Wait!?!? Isn't it so unusual that they bring out potatoes!?!?!? I'll explain what they're for later~~ Stay tuned~~
And another charm of Cham Dwaejitgan is!! Right this!!! The grilling service, TT Meat someone else grills for you is always the tastiest, you know what I mean...
We've all had that experience at a BBQ place where one person is stuck grilling the whole time, oil splattering everywhere, right?! But at Cham Dwaejitgan, you can totally forget about that worry!
A staff member provides a professional grilling service, cooking the meat to the perfect doneness themselves! All we had to do was chat comfortably and just pick up the grilled meat and eat...!
Plus, they use a specially made handmade grill pan that doesn't splatter oil, so I really loved that we could enjoy the meal cleanly and comfortably without worrying about oil splashing on our clothes! Totally perfect for a date course too, right?!
Minari and potato slices: the Cham Dwaejitgan wrap to try
My deliciously grilled prey... but this isn't the end! Cham Dwaejitgan's legendary cheat code shows up now — the combination with fragrant domestic minari! Wrap the minari, lightly grilled in the savory pork fat, together with the meat, and the greasiness completely disappears, leaving your mouth full of refreshing flavor.
Add my favorite mushroom wasabi on top and — nom.
The purpose of those potatoes from earlier turns out to be!! Grilling them and wrapping them with the meat!!! >_<
Wrapping meat with these really, really thinly sliced potatoes was genuinely a delicacy TT As someone who loves root vegetables, this was truly such a happy moment...!
Finishing with fried rice and cold noodles
We're Korean, so of course we can't skip fried rice for dessert! You know how it is!!!
They fry up the fried rice expertly for you too! All we had to do was pick up a spoon and dig in...
The cold noodles... were incredible too... looking back on it now!! The cold noodle broth was seriously amazing~~
If you need more banchan, you can just grab them from the self-serve bar, which is totally great!
The amenities corner, from phone chargers to mouthwash
While eating, I got hit once more by the owner's thoughtfulness 🥺❤️ On one side of the restaurant, they had carefully prepared a phone charger, hair ties, disposable aprons, plastic covers for storing clothes, yogurt, mouthwash, even kids' tableware! The perfect setup for tying your hair up and eating meat like it's a battle haha. This kind of small thoughtfulness from the owner is exactly what moves customers!
I'm genuinely touched... really. If you want to taste properly smoked, juicy pork in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan, or you're looking for a comfortable, friendly meat restaurant, you absolutely have to visit Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch! I'm planning to come back soon with friends too!
