Charcoal-grilled Korean BBQ in Yongin: Dongbaek Hanokjip

If you’re looking around Dongbaek in Yongin for a meat restaurant with easy parking, a comfortable space, and—most importantly—perfect meat quality and rice, this is the place.

Today, I’m introducing the “Mukjjang Jangchaegim-recommended absolutely perfect course” I enjoyed at Dongbaek Hanokjip Charcoal Grill Butcher Restaurant!!!

The exterior and spacious interior

The interior is also very spacious and pleasant, making it just right for family gatherings or company dinners!! Highly recommended!!

After the basic side dishes are set out, you can use the self-service bar for anything more. Drinks and alcohol are self-service too—and they even have a soju freezer! The combo of slushy soju and meat needs no explanation, haha.

Choosing your cuts at the butcher counter

There are table-order items too—marinated pork grill, beef ribs, jjigae (stew), naengmyeon (cold noodles), and more—but it’s so fun to see and choose your own cuts at the butcher counter, from top-grade Korean beef to Korean pork.

Side dishes and the binchotan charcoal grill

They set out a full spread of sides: seasoned bean sprouts and scallions, cabbage salad, sliced onions, pickled radish wraps, white kimchi, pickled garlic stems, and corn salad. Every single one was exactly what you want with meat!!

The binchotan charcoal clearly has great heat, and the thoughtful detail of providing separate grills for beef and pork lets you enjoy the meat’s natural flavor properly!!!

The butcher-counter refrigerator along one side of the restaurant really caught my eye!!! Inside, gleaming top-grade Korean beef and fresh Korean pork were carefully stored by cut, so it was really satisfying to check the quality with your own eyes and pick exactly what you wanted, haha.

From pork neck and belly to fresh Korean beef brisket

Even when eating just one thing, do it strategically!!! First, we started grilling pork neck and pork belly one after the other on the pork-only grill!!

We grilled the Korean pork neck and belly until beautifully golden and loaded with charcoal aroma, then absolutely demolished them with fresh wrap vegetables, haha. Crispy outside, tender inside, and full of juices—it’s the kind of flavor that makes drinks go down far too easily!! But I held back for work the next day, haha.

Instead, I ordered a Jecol to lift my mood at least!

After finishing the pork, we changed the grill, and then the fresh Korean beef brisket we’d been waiting for appeared, haha.

And when you come here, steamed rice is an essential order!!! They use Suhyangmi rice, which is known for tasting good, and wowwww... the rice genuinely tasted sweet! It was glossy too, and I couldn’t help saying, “This rice is sweet, so sweet,” haha. Seriously delicious 👍👍👍

This wasn’t the frozen brisket we usually eat—it was fresh Korean beef brisket, so even the thickness was different!! It was definitely thicker! We gave it just a quick grill over the charcoal, added a little wasabi, and wrapped it with white rice: completely, ridiculously delicious, haha. I strongly recommend this combination, no question!!!

Grilled seaweed with Suhyangmi rice

Then I spotted grilled seaweed on the menu and immediately asked for it! Wow... it’s a completely insane rice thief, haha. You know the charcoal-grilled seaweed sold at famous markets, right? You lightly grill the seaweed over the binchotan charcoal, wrap it around that sweet Suhyangmi rice, and wow... it was so good I finished a whole bowl of rice in no time!!! You absolutely have to try the charcoal-scented seaweed plus Suhyangmi combination, haha.

Suhyangmi certified!!! Even the deodorizer was a nice touch!!!

Mukjjang Jangchaegim’s absolutely perfect course

Easy parking, perfect-quality meat, and even the Suhyangmi rice—there was nothing that wasn’t delicious here, haha.

• Korean pork neck ➔ pork belly ➔ change the grill, then thick fresh Korean beef brisket + wasabi + Suhyangmi rice are essential!
• Naengmyeon is recommended too!!
• Be sure to request the “grilled seaweed (complimentary)” on the menu, lightly grill it over charcoal, and wrap it around Suhyangmi rice. A total rice thief!
• Amazing binchotan charcoal heat + separate beef and pork grills + a soju freezer stocked with near-frozen soju
