Jongno3-ga Korean BBQ with bean sprouts on the grill: Cham Dwaejitgan
Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch is a pork belly restaurant on the first floor of the Piccadilly CGV building by Jongno3-ga Station in Seoul, specializing in Boseong nokdon pork and Jirisan black pork. The cham samgyeopsal (pork belly) costs 16,000 won and arrives with kimchi, bean sprouts and minari (water dropwort) grilled in the pork fat, alongside thin potato wraps and a kimchi stew packed with thick cuts of pork. Order soju and the staff hand over a milk thistle supplement too — the kind of detail that makes Cham Dwaejitgan worth a second visit.
