Late-night Korean BBQ set before the last train in Jongno 3-ga: Chowon
In short
Chowon Restaurant Jongno 3-ga Branch is a pork belly outdoor tent restaurant beside Tapgol Park near Jongno 3-ga Station in Seoul. Four friends stopped in on a Sunday night as their fourth round and ordered the beef-and-pork belly set (53,000 won) with two bottles of Saero soju, and the thin-cut beef brisket and frozen pork belly cooked fast enough to keep eating right up to the last train. Since Chowon Restaurant leaves the indoor walls open as well as running the terrace, every seat feels like an outdoor tent — an easy pick for late-night Seoul Korean BBQ.
