We ordered 600g of Yeon Makchang and special makchang, plus yeolmu bibim guksu and a slushie. Verdict: a satisfying choice if you want tender makchang without the usual smell. ## Good to know - **Menu**: Yeon Makchang, special makchang, frozen pork belly, beef brisket, chicken feet, pork belly - **Order amount**: 600g total - **Review event**: Yeolmu bibim guksu or old-fashioned jajangmyeon - **Hours**: 17:00–24:00 - **Parking**: Space for 3 cars in front of the restaurant *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* While looking for dinner in Dangye-dong, Wonju, I went out for some slightly special makchang (grilled pork intestine) this time. Even the name Yeon Makchang sounds a little different from an ordinary makchang place. Its biggest feature is that it uses makchang aged with lotus leaves. I heard lotus leaves are valued not only for their flavor but also for their benefits, putting this a cut above regular makchang. They are said to lessen the concern over makchang's distinctive smell while bringing out a chewy yet tender texture and nutty flavor. ![Signature image of lotus-leaf-aged makchang at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-01-w5wdk-1200.webp) ## Where is Yeon Makchang in Wonju's Dangye-dong? ![Location guide for Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-02-1tcup-966.webp) It is near Rose Park in Dangye-dong, in the dining alley, so it is well located for a meal or drinks nearby. It is also easy to reach from Wonju Intercity Bus Terminal, so it seems like a good option for anyone looking for food near Wonju Terminal. ![Menu guide for Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-03-1kjyg-966.webp) Besides makchang, they have frozen pork belly, beef brisket, and chicken feet. If you want both pork belly and makchang, visit Yeon Makchang, a good spot in Wonju's Dangye-dong. ## A clean, newly opened restaurant ![Interior view of Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-04-ml3qu-966.webp) The first thing I noticed when I entered Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch (연막창 단계점) was how clean the restaurant was overall. Since it had newly opened, the interior facilities and tables all felt well maintained and spotless. ![Tidy table area at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-05-7umci-966.webp) Rather than the old-school atmosphere typical of a meat restaurant, it was bright and tidy. It also looked like a good place for a group dinner in Dangye-dong. ![Interior facilities at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-06-hgf01-966.webp) I especially liked that the restroom was inside. ## How were Yeon Makchang and special makchang different? ![Yeon Makchang and special makchang menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-07-1w4n2-966.webp) I was curious about the difference between Yeon Makchang and special makchang. The special makchang uses a thicker cut, so I think people who care about texture would like it. I was curious about both, so I ordered them both—and I really liked them both. ![Ordered Yeon Makchang menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-08-113w0-966.webp) ![Review event menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-09-19n3v-966.webp) Join the review event and try either yeolmu bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles with young radish greens) or old-fashioned jajangmyeon with your makchang. ## Trying 600g of lotus-leaf-aged makchang ![Makchang table setting and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-10-h0dsf-966.webp) ![Neatly arranged basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-11-1i386-966.webp) I also liked how neatly the basic side dishes were set out. The bean sprout soup seemed like it would be a good match with chicken feet. ![Bean sprout soup and accompanying table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-12-ppgol-966.webp) ![Side dishes for a makchang meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-13-eqxmi-966.webp) There is also a self-service bar, where you can bring back any vegetables or side dishes you need. Wrap vegetables, kimchi varieties, and ingredients to grill were all laid out neatly. ![Self-service bar with vegetables and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-14-12smo-966.webp) The perfect makchang companion, right? Try it with the mulberry makchang sauce. ![Mulberry makchang sauce accompaniment](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-15-15uhc-966.webp) We ordered 600g in total, and the two of us were full. At Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch, the makchang comes par-grilled, so you just grill it once more at the table until nicely golden. ![Par-grilled makchang cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-16-14wyv-966.webp) Roll the makchang around on the grill and cook the surface until golden, and the outside turns savory while the inside keeps its chewy texture. Two important things when eating makchang are its smell and texture. Perhaps because it was lotus-leaf-aged makchang, it did not have that off-putting distinctive smell; the nutty flavor came through first. You can get tired of it as you eat, but not at all! I felt like I could keep eating it. ![Grilled lotus-leaf-aged makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-17-ktlov-966.webp) I ordered yeolmu bibim guksu because I wanted a refreshing finish. It comes with plenty of yeolmu, and its spicy, tangy seasoning goes well with the noodles. After the rich, savory flavor of makchang, a bite of yeolmu bibim guksu felt like it freshened up my palate, so they made a nice pairing. ![Yeolmu bibim guksu as a finishing dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang-18-1hgmz-966.webp) We finished with a nostalgic slushie! Since it is newly opened, I liked how clean it was overall and that I could try lotus-leaf-aged makchang, something a little different from the usual kind. I recommend it to anyone who has hesitated because of makchang's tough texture or distinctive smell! If I visit again, I will try ordering pork belly with the makchang too. ## Where it is - Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch (연막창 단계점) (연막창 단계점) - 66 Cheonsa-ro, Wonju-si, Gangwon State, South Korea (강원특별자치도 원주시 천사로 66 1층) - 강원특별자치도 원주시 천사로 66 1층 - 37.3474231, 127.9323982 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%97%B0%EB%A7%89%EC%B0%BD%20%EB%8B%A8%EA%B3%84%EC%A0%90/@37.3474231,127.9323982,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-spoon-map/wonju-terminal-makchang-yeonmakchang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
