Cham Dwaejitgan has 60 seats, table-side ordering and a self-bar where you can refill vegetables, so on the last evening of a trip the writer ordered extra pork belly and finished with fried rice. It is an easy choice for group dinners and family gatherings with a crowd. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Open until 4am the next morning - **Seats**: 60 - **Ordering**: Table order, pay on the way out - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; parking in front of the restaurant, or nearby alleys and public lots - **Self-bar**: Refills on a range of vegetables - **Extras**: Yogurt drink and candy after the meal *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* I heard there was a pork belly place where the staff grill the meat for you, so for the last meal of my trip I stopped by Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch (참돼짓간 천안두정점) in Dujeong-dong for a delicious dinner. Here's my review! ![Pork belly on the grill plate at Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-01-atbs2-1200.webp) ## Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch hours and parking > Let's enjoy meat and drinks comfortably until dawn ![Exterior of Cham Dwaejitgan in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-02-zflhc-900.webp) Cham Dwaejitgan, a pork belly spot in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan, stays open until 4am the next day, so keep that in mind if you want to enjoy a long, delicious night. There's no dedicated parking lot, but you can park in front of the shop or use the nearby alleys or public parking lots. On the day I visited, the spot in front of the shop was already taken, so I parked in a nearby alley. ![Entrance to Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-03-1ty6l-900.webp) ![Interior of the 60-seat Cham Dwaejitgan restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-04-mevaa-900.webp) ### 60 seats: room for group dinners and family gatherings Cham Dwaejitgan has a full 60 seats, so it's a great place to come with various gatherings, group dinners, and family meals to enjoy delicious meat. You order easily through the table-order system and pay when you leave. ## The Cham Dwaejitgan grill that drains the fat downward > Sizzle away and fall for the charm of the grill plate! ![Cham Dwaejitgan's grill plate that lets oil drip down](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-05-1f2aw-900.webp) Once you visit you'll meet this grill plate — the staff explained something about rice husks at the end, but I forgot, oops haha. Anyway, when you grill meat on this plate, the oil naturally drips down and the vegetables and kimchi underneath get deliciously grilled too. I'd never seen a grill plate like this at a Korean BBQ place before, so it was really interesting. ![Basic table setting with various vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-06-966fv-900.webp) Once you sit down, various vegetables are set out, and you can grab spoons and chopsticks from the drawer next to the table. ![Cham Dwaejitgan's self-bar stocked with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-07-3mxia-900.webp) ### Refilling vegetables at the self-bar The self-bar at Cham Dwaejitgan is packed full, which really shows the owner's generosity, and it's kept clean, so it was easy to refill on whatever vegetables I needed. Hearing the meat sizzle on the grill made me even hungrier, and having the staff grill it for me directly made for a really comfortable way to end the trip. ## Samgyeopsal grilled for you by the staff > Let's have a meal with meat that's comfortably grilled for us ![Staff grilling pork belly on the plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-08-oiesc-900.webp) Having the staff grill the meat on the plate was definitely convenient. I nibbled on various things to curb my hunger while waiting, and then all I had to do was enjoy the perfectly grilled pork belly. ![Golden-brown grilled pork belly and grilled kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-09-gwzko-900.webp) ![Pork belly and grilled vegetables moved down the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-10-13901-900.webp) The vegetables and kimchi grilled nicely with the oil dripping down from the plate, and the pork belly was brought down too — now it was time to wrap it up however I liked. ![Cham Dwaejitgan pork belly wrapped in perilla leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-11-2pbfm-900.webp) I love perilla leaves, so I started wrapping with those first, and as expected, it was amazing. Nutty and crisp on the outside, perfectly grilled — it went so well wrapped with the various vegetables that we ended up ordering extra pork belly, and that's no secret. ## How do the potato slice wraps taste? > Don't miss out on the potato slices either ![Potato slices for wrapping pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-12-1cypf-900.webp) The owner recommended pairing potato slices with garlic scapes and mushroom wasabi in a wrap, so I tried it. ![Potato slice wrap topped with garlic scapes and mushroom wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-13-1xohb-900.webp) ![Pork belly rolled up in a potato slice wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-14-ry2ko-900.webp) I rolled it up in the potato slice as recommended and took a bite — it was great. It was my first time wrapping pork belly with potato slices, and I'd never eaten this combination at any other Korean BBQ place before; it ended up tasting like a signature dish. ## Fried rice to finish and the mood inside Cham Dwaejitgan > You can't beat fried rice to finish ![Finishing fried rice cooked on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-15-19lee-900.webp) Fried rice is the unwritten rule for finishing off pork belly, right? After demolishing the pork belly, I ordered fried rice to finish, and the staff fried it up deliciously as always. ![Finished fried rice at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-16-zrzu7-900.webp) ![A spoonful of the fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-17-1n546-900.webp) With the staff comfortably grilling the meat amid the weariness of travel and finishing with delicious fried rice, it was a satisfying meal at this pork belly restaurant in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan. ![A partial view of Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-18-u8dzn-900.webp) ![A tidy corner of the Cham Dwaejitgan dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar-19-tcrvd-900.webp) There were so many other customers when I visited that I could only snap a few photos of part of the restaurant on my way out, so I'm a bit sorry I couldn't capture the whole place. It's a newly opened spot, so everything felt clean and pleasant to eat in, and after the meal they finished us off with a yogurt drink and candy as a service — a delicious day all around 😊 - The meat is fresh and delicious - The staff are kind - The restaurant is clean - I'd like to visit again ## Where it is - Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch (참돼짓간 천안두정점) - 10 Wondujeong 5-gil, Seobuk-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - 충청남도 천안시 서북구 원두정5길 10 101호 - 36.8311121, 127.134951 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B0%B8%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%93%EA%B0%84%20%EC%B2%9C%EC%95%88%EB%91%90%EC%A0%95%EC%A0%90/@36.8311121,127.134951,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@dinner-detours/chamdwaejigan-dujeong-samgyeopsal-selfbar/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
