Jirisan pork mixed grill ₩57,000 at a Samsong BBQ house: Neopttakjip

Neopttakjip Samsong Branch: a pork BBQ restaurant near Samsong Station

Neopttakjip! I visited because the reviews for this Samsong pork BBQ spot were just too good. It's always packed, and this restaurant near Starfield Goyang had me curious 💕

Neopttakjip Samsong Branch

1st floor Unit 101, Junplaza, 63 Dongsong-ro, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea Daily 12:00–23:00 Last order 22:00

Neopttakjip serves Jirisan pork 🐽 — apparently it's even been featured on the Jeongyukwang YouTube channel!

It's close to Samsong Station so it's easy to get to, and even though it's a BBQ place, the space is clean and the staff were genuinely kind, which made a great first impression ☺️ There are private rooms too, so it looked like a good spot for family meals, group gatherings, or a Samsong work dinner.

What side dishes and self-serve bar does Neopttakjip Samsong offer?

Before the meat arrived, Neopttakjip Samsong Branch set out a neat spread of basic side dishes that paired really well with the meat, so it was nice to try each one alongside the grill. The curry macaroni salad was unusual and delicious, and the pickled scallions and chili, plus the garlic scape relish, went perfectly with the meat ❤️ Side dishes matter a lot at a BBQ place, and I could see exactly why this is such a popular Samsong pork BBQ spot 🤤

The self-serve bar had lettuce wraps and garlic ready to go, and I could easily grab more side dishes or sauce whenever I needed.

Neopttak: to spread wide and flat, to be generous — I was curious what the name meant, and it turns out it's Jeju dialect.

Neopttakjip is:

• Korea's first ice-aged pork
• specially made cast-iron grill plates
• a signature meat-sauce dip to cut through the richness of the meat
• and an atmosphere with real old-school charm

A generous spread with good people, a cold drink~ this is a Samsong spot that soothes the day with meat and booze >.<

Neopttakjip Samsong menu and the signature ibulgalbi (blanket-cut ribs)

Neopttakjip's signature menu item is ibulgalbi (blanket-cut ribs) 💕 — a whole rack of ribs connected to the pork belly, sliced open wide right in the restaurant and grilled. They say the pork they distribute directly goes through first-stage selection, second-stage inspection, and third-stage aging before use. And after 14 years of insisting on good raw meat, sourcing, and even running their own distribution and logistics, you could really feel the owner's pride in the meat ☺️

Mixed grill 600g with grilled vegetables, ₩57,000

I was curious about Neopttakjip's signature raw ribs too, but how could I resist this visual... I ordered the mixed grill (600g) + grilled vegetables for ₩57,000, which lets you try five cuts at once: pork neck, pork belly, hayansal, sasal, and kkodeulsal 😋

The meat is really fresh and good. I'm personally not a huge fan of pork neck, but wow — it was so tender and juicy 🤤

The grilled vegetables were onion, king oyster mushroom, enoki mushroom, and sweet potato 💕

Country-style cheonggukjang as the side order

There were several side dishes to have with the meat — snail doenjang stew, sundubu jjigae, ramyeon, makguksu, and more. I went with the country-style cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew). Lately I've been craving something savory and hot like this so much ✨ It's really satisfying with rice, and there was no strong smell — it was rich and tasty, packed with tofu, vegetables, and plenty of meat. Highly recommend Neopttakjip's cheonggukjang!

Three ways to eat the pork, as the staff explain

The staff kindly explained a few tasty ways to eat it 💕

• First: sesame oil, ground perilla seed, and salt
• Second: piled high with pickled scallions and chili
• Third: with crunchy garlic scape relish!

Every combination was a winner 🤤 Of them all, the special pickled scallion and chili sauce was the absolute best 👍🏻 — something you can only taste at Neopttakjip!

The chewy kkodeulsal and the pork belly were great too — every single bite at Neopttakjip was delicious 💕 A restaurant near Starfield Goyang and a Samsong pork BBQ spot I'd recommend ✨

Finishing with hangjeongsal, and the weekend wait at Neopttakjip

We finished with hangjeongsal (pork jowl) 🤍 I wanted to try the ramyeon too, but we were both way too full so we gave up 🤣 The mixed grill is 600g, so the portion is really generous. It's been a while since I felt this satisfied at a Samsong pork BBQ place 💕 Stop by Neopttakjip if you're near Starfield Goyang : ) We went on a weekend evening and had a short wait!
