On a weekend drive, a couple shared the signature special-cuts platter, 850g of woodae galbi, bonkkotsal, sogalbisal, buchaesal, galbisal and citron-marinated grilled beef, with free refillable spicy beef hangover soup and a pack of ground beef handed over on the way out. Between the large parking lot and the well-spaced tables, Jowatso works as both a drive stop and a full dinner out. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Signature special-cuts platter, 850g (woodae galbi, bonkkotsal, sogalbisal, buchaesal, galbisal, citron-marinated grilled beef) - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–22:00 (last order 21:20) - **Parking**: Lot in front of the restaurant, plus a larger lot at the back - **Complimentary**: Spicy beef hangover soup, free with refills; ground beef given after the meal - **Facilities**: Group dining, takeout, reservations, Wi-Fi, high chairs, separate men's and women's restrooms, wheelchair access at the entrance and seating - **Side dishes**: Refills at the self-serve corner *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Signature special-cuts platter at Jowatso in Janghowon, Icheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-01-1i2ho-1200.webp) My husband and I went for a drive over the weekend to get some fresh air. I already love drives in general, but this time we ended up heading toward Icheon haha. We got hungry and, while trying to decide on lunch, ended up craving beef — so we stopped by Jowatso Janghowon Gamgok Main Branch! ## Jowatso Janghowon Gamgok Main Branch: hours and parking Jowatso Janghowon Gamgok Main Branch is a charcoal beef BBQ restaurant in Janghowon-eup, Icheon, Gyeonggi, open Mon–Sun 11:00–22:00 (last order 21:20).

There's an even bigger lot behind the restaurant! Parking space matters a lot on weekends or during meal times, and this was such a relief haha. Baby chairs and mini table fans are also on hand ✔️ Such a thoughtful owner 👍👍 The interior was spacious with generous gaps between tables, so it seemed like a good spot for family meals or gatherings too! And apparently the food is overseen by a professional cook certified in Korean, Japanese, Western cuisine, and even pufferfish preparation, so the trust in the food just shot up 🤍🤍 ## What comes on the 850g signature special-cuts platter What we ordered was Jowatso's signature special-cuts platter 🖤 An 850g platter made up of woodae galbi (premium rib meat), bonkkotsal (chuck flap), sogalbisal (rib finger meat), buchaesal (flat iron), galbisal (rib meat), and citron-marinated grilled beef! ![Table set with basic side dishes at Jowatso](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-03-1d8fy-900.webp) ![Jowatso's basic side dish spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-04-1glm1-900.webp) You can grab any extra side dishes you want from the self-serve corner. ![Self-serve corner where guests can take side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-05-k5yon-900.webp) ![Side dish containers at Jowatso's self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-06-1rfst-900.webp) Wow..... the meat is seriously generous. ![The 850g special-cuts platter served generously](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-07-1ian6-900.webp) Since my other half can put away 1kg of beef by himself hahaha— Isn't the color amazing? Completely bright red ❤️ ![Plate of bright red raw special cuts at Jowatso](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-08-zvz5q-900.webp) ## Is the spicy beef hangover soup really free and refillable? Jowatso also gives you spicy beef hangover soup for free. And it's even refillable,,, an absolute paradise for drinkers 🫶 ![Free spicy beef hangover soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-09-1haxx-900.webp) ![Table with the soup and beef platter together](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-10-8l98l-900.webp) ![Jowatso beef grilling on the charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-11-7ihox-900.webp) ![Charcoal grill and meat on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-12-1hjj9-900.webp) ## Grilling order at Jowatso: bonkkotsal, buchaesal, then galbisal We started properly with the bonkkotsal. The more you chew, the more the savory beef aroma comes through, and the juiciness held up nicely — very satisfying to eat. The meat alone was already great, but pairing it with the basic side dishes brought out a different kind of appeal. It was great to have the hot soup on hand whenever we craved something warm mid-meal, and its spiciness paired really well with the meat too! Being able to enjoy hangover soup right alongside the BBQ at a meat restaurant was a nice touch 🤍 Put the meat on top of the rice that came alongside, and boom — beef sushi ෆ ![A grilled piece of bonkkotsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-13-4h963-900.webp) ![Beef sushi made with meat on rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-14-1h7s7-900.webp) ![Beef sushi served with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-15-7yqte-900.webp) ![Buchaesal cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-16-yh92x-900.webp) ![Cross-section of grilled galbisal](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-17-8ogb3-900.webp) ![A piece of beef picked up with basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-18-1gn6i-900.webp) The buchaesal was delicious, and the galbisal was delicious too. ![Mini table fan next to the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-19-m3ftt-900.webp) Grilling meat made things a bit warm, so we grabbed the fan and turned it on! It got a little hot from the charcoal, but the fan made it super comfortable 👍👍👍 ### Woodae galbi and citron-marinated grilled beef Ahh... ෆ my beloved woodae galbi. Not exaggerating much when I say it melts in your mouth... Next time I might just order a ton of only woodae galbi 😻 ![Woodae galbi grilling over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-20-18w79-900.webp) ![A well-grilled piece of woodae galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-21-1ogm3-900.webp) The sweet marinated meat is honey-good too! ![Sweet citron-marinated grilled beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-22-kxob1-900.webp) ![Final spread with marinated beef, soup, and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-23-g1v03-900.webp) We wrapped up with spicy beef hangover soup and a bowl of rice ෆ ## The free ground beef Jowatso hands you on the way out After finishing our meal, as we were leaving, they gave us free ground beef. It's something you can bring home and actually use, so it ended the visit on a really good note 👍 It's not just about eating the meat and leaving — these little extra touches are what stick with you haha. ![Free ground beef packed for takeaway after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive-24-1hz8c-900.webp) If you're looking for a great beef spot in Janghowon, Icheon, or want to try a variety of special cuts all at once, Jowatso is worth a visit! Between the generous signature special-cuts platter, the spicy beef hangover soup, and the ground beef takeaway, it was a thoroughly satisfying dinner. ## Where it is - Jowatso Janghowon Gamgok Main Branch (조왔소 장호원 감곡 본점) - 25 Seodongdae-ro 8809beon-gil, Janghowon-eup, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 이천시 장호원읍 서동대로8809번길 25 조왔소 - 37.1161771, 127.6137038 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A1%B0%EC%99%94%EC%86%8C%20%EC%9E%A5%ED%98%B8%EC%9B%90%20%EA%B0%90%EA%B3%A1%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.1161771,127.6137038,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-windowsill-cup/icheon-janghowon-jowatso-beef-drive/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
