We made a reservation before visiting, but Tableing reservations are available too, just so you know‼️ I recommend booking ahead because word is already out that this is a great meat restaurant in Jung-dong, Changwon, and waits at peak times are no joke—book ahead please🙏🏻

Anmin Jung-dong had even counted all the guests who were coming in👀 The tidy table setting made me feel like I was being treated, so my anticipation kept growing‼️

What comes in the Whole Pig Set

Anmin Jung-dong is a specialist in charcoal-grilled fresh pork in Jung-dong, Changwon. They say they use Korean pork raised on only good things👍🏻

You can order using the tablet at each table, and since there were four of us, we ordered the Whole Pig Set‼️

It’s 700 g of pork belly, pork neck, pork oyster blade, and herbal pork skin, served with mushrooms, my beloved shishito peppers, eggplant, and cherry tomatoes. The color of the meat at Anmin Jung-dong was truly on another level. Forget all that talk about aging—Anmin is all you need‼️ From the thickness to the texture, even the pork skin is herbally aged🔥 I really, really love herbal aging, you know❤️

Can you leave all the grilling to them?

And the best part was that, along with top-grade meat, they provide grilling service too. They cook everything, and all we had to do was pick up our chopsticks🔥

Top-quality meat meets professional grilling, so you can eat without ever needing to pick up scissors or tongs.

They cut the beautifully grilled meat and place the first piece on each person’s small plate. Can you see that perfect doneness‼️ Anmin’s grilling service is genuinely top-tier—I totally, completely agree👍🏻 They put a first piece of grilled meat on each plate and explained that we should enjoy it with salt first; not regular salt, but songhwa salt.

At Anmin Jung-dong in Changwon, you can also enjoy it with a wide range of accompaniments: shiitake wasabi, galchi sokjeot (fermented hairtail innards), curry soybean powder, cumin, fish soy sauce, and even cheese fondue.

Ahhh, have a drink🙌🏻 The juices are premium, that’s what I’m saying.

Pork that rivals lamb... Eating it with cumin was the absolute best❤️

That perfectly even grilling is honestly unbelievable~

They kept grilling while we ate and placed it on a mini brazier. I seriously need to learn how to grill meat like this....

As soon as each piece was cooked, everyone’s chopsticks went up, so we all ate it before the mini brazier could even fill up. At Anmin Jung-dong, even the herbal pork skin was grilled nicely and chewy, so we ate deliciously right to the end.

Steamed egg and soft tofu stew for dessert

The steamed egg and spicy soft tofu stew we ordered for dessert made Anmin Jung-dong, this great meat restaurant in Jung-dong, Changwon, complete. I was so satisfied because it made for such a wonderful end-of-day meal🙌🏻 It’s perfect for dates or small gatherings too, so I hope everyone gives it a try at least once❤️
