Four people, including kids, cleared a 3-4 person set of pork belly, pork neck, and pork jowl (320g, 320g, 120g) that staff pre-seared over 1200°C oak fire and finished grilling tableside, in a spacious 150-seat space with private rooms. It's a hearty, hassle-free stop before or after shopping at Yeoju Premium Outlets. ## Good to know - **Order**: Oak-fired pre-seared BBQ 3-4 person set (pork belly 320g + pork neck 320g + pork jowl 120g) - **Meat spec**: Low-temperature aged 10 days, cut 17mm thick for pre-searing - **Pre-searing method**: Pre-seared in an oak wood-fired kiln at 1200°C, then finished tableside by staff - **Seating**: About 150 seats, with private rooms - **Takeout**: 30% off when packing meat to go - **Hours**: 11:00–21:30 (last order 20:30) - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Parking**: Spacious *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* Before shopping at Yeoju Premium Outlets, you know you have to eat properly first, haha. This time I visited Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2, near the outlets, where staff grill meat that's been pre-seared over oak firewood. ![Table setting of oak-fired pre-seared BBQ at Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-01-1nc7w-966.webp) *Yeoju Premium Outlets restaurant | Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2* ## What is Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2's 1200°C oak-fired pre-searing? What stands out most at Hwassi2192 is that it's not your usual charcoal grilling but oak wood-fired pre-searing. They raise the temperature of the oak wood-fired kiln up to a whopping 1200°C to pre-sear the meat first. When you order, the kitchen pre-sears the meat and brings it to the table, where staff grill it once more for you — so you can eat comfortably even with kids! The best!! ## What we ordered - Oak-fired BBQ large plate, 3-4 person set The oak-fired pre-seared BBQ 3-4 person set, the large plate. It comes with pork belly 320g, pork neck 320g, and pork jowl 120g. Since the meat comes out pre-seared, it looks appetizing right away. Starting with the pork belly ![Pre-seared pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-02-rcf42-1200.webp) Pork neck ![Pre-seared pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-03-1kpgw-966.webp) And the pork jowl too ![Pre-seared pork jowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-04-yb18w-966.webp) They said the meat is low-temperature aged for 10 days and cut to a 17mm thickness suited for pre-searing. So scientific... ![Close-up of thick pre-searing cut meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-05-1omc1-966.webp) *Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2* ### How did the pre-seared meat taste? There's a reason for pre-searing at high heat. The fat renders right out while the outside cooks golden and crispy, and the inside stays juicy and moist. ![Wood-fire pre-seared meat with golden-browned surface](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-06-h3po2-966.webp) Since it's already seasoned, they told us to try the first piece plain, without dipping it in anything, to taste the meat itself. Eaten plain, it really did have a subtle oak aroma running through it — so delicious. ![The first piece of meat eaten plain without any dip](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-07-f3pg0-966.webp) ![A piece of pork belly with oak aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-08-1or7f-966.webp) The pork neck was thick too, with a good balance of lean richness and juiciness. ![Thickly grilled pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-09-qdjpm-966.webp) The combo of perilla leaves, radish wrap, and shredded green onion was great too! ![Meat served with perilla leaf radish wrap and shredded green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-10-1k75i-966.webp) ![A wrap of radish with meat and shredded green onion on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-11-1a6x3-966.webp) The pork jowl, grilled over the wood fire, had a golden-browned surface and the fat's nutty flavor really came through — perfect as a drinking snack too, haha. ![Pork jowl grilled over wood fire](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-12-wjemc-966.webp) ![Cross-section of golden-browned pork jowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-13-1ygmv-966.webp) Since the meat is pre-seared over oak firewood, every cut had such good flavor on its own that it was delicious even with just a light dip of salt. ![Wood-fire pre-seared meat eaten with just a dip of salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-14-e45a8-966.webp) At first I wondered if the four of us could finish it all, but the kids said the meat was so good that we ended up cleaning the whole plate, haha. ## What's the space and atmosphere like — is there a private room? Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2 looked fairly sizable even from outside, but stepping in, the space was even larger and more substantial than I expected. ![Spacious interior of Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-15-hxpuf-966.webp) ![Roomy table arrangement at the BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-16-1fc1h-966.webp) They said it can seat around 150 people, but it doesn't feel like a BBQ place with tables crammed tightly together — it's spacious overall, so it was comfortable for a family meal too. ![Overview of the restaurant space seating about 150 people](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-17-8bcj5-966.webp) *Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2* There's also a private room space, making it a good fit for anything from family dinners to gatherings with a larger group. ![Private room space good for family dinners and gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-18-1pmg0-966.webp) *Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2* ## Good for takeout before a camping trip too You can also get the meat to go, and they said takeout comes at a 30% discount. ![Sign for the 30% off takeout discount](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-19-t1x25-966.webp) I ate here before shopping at Yeoju Premium Outlets this time, but seeing this made me think it'd also be great to pack meat ahead of a camping trip or travel to Wonju or Gangwon-do. ![Meat packed for taking on a camping trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill-20-c5z0t-966.webp) ## A good stop before or after shopping at Yeoju Premium Outlets If you're looking for a place to recharge before or after shopping near Yeoju Premium Outlets, order the oak-fired BBQ set with pork belly, pork neck, and pork jowl together and enjoy a hearty meal! You can eat comfortably without the hassle of grilling it yourself! - Hours: 11:00 ~ 21:30 - Last order: 20:30 - Closed: Every Monday - Parking: Spacious ## Where it is - Hwassi2192 Nam-Yeoju Branch 2 (화씨2192 남여주 2호점) - 939 Yeojunam-ro, Ganam-eup, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 여주시 가남읍 여주남로 939 - 37.2243148, 127.5597822 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%94%EC%94%A82192%20%EB%82%A8%EC%97%AC%EC%A3%BC%202%ED%98%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.2243148,127.5597822,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@dining-room-glimpse/hwassi-2192-namyeoju-oak-wood-grill/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
