So many of them. Already looking forward to that full charcoal-smoke flavor! Next to it there's a mountain-view terrace for coffee after the meal — perfect spot to sit and sip a coffee afterward ![Used charcoal briquettes stacked behind the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-03-5rq4j-900.webp) ![Mountain-view terrace for coffee after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-04-ncn7i-900.webp) A clean, tidy entrance at Bulhyangjip! Door's open, let's go in. Dog owners take note — this is a restaurant where pets can dine with you. Just a heads up! ![Clean, tidy entrance of Bulhyangjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-05-1073s-900.webp) ![Entrance sign noting pets are welcome](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-06-1xnxd-900.webp) ## What are the indoor seats like (room, group tables, mountain view) Note the hours — open as normal even during Chuseok holiday. Clean interior. There's a room with low seated tables, big group tables, and tables facing the mountain view. The dining space is spacious and comfortable! With the roomy tables and private room, it also seems great for company dinners or family outings ![Spacious interior with seated rooms and large group tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-07-189fe-900.webp) One side has an open kitchen where you can watch the meat being grilled over charcoal inside! Seeing it in person makes it look even more delicious! I liked how clean the open kitchen looked. Gives off a real sense of confidence in hygiene ![Meat being grilled over charcoal in the open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-08-1oky1-900.webp) The fat is rendering off while the smoky char flavor sets in. Mouth watering already Tour of the restaurant complete! I sat at a table with a mountain view. With a view this good, the food is bound to taste even better ![Window-side table with a mountain view](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-09-1755a-900.webp) ![The menu checked at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-10-5wvjc-900.webp) ## What we ordered and the prices Let's order at the table - Scallion bulgogi, 1 serving — ₩15,900 - Charcoal pre-grilled pork belly, 2 servings — ₩33,800 - Cass non-alcoholic beer, 1 bottle — ₩4,000 - Countryside grandma's doenjang jjigae, 1 serving — ₩5,000 - Mom's hand egg custard, 1 serving — ₩7,000 - Bulhyangjip bibim noodles, 1 serving — ₩9,000 - Rice, 2 bowls — ₩2,000 - Total: ₩76,700 I was starving so I ordered a lot....!

He was totally taken by the scenery ![Non-alcoholic beer set on the mountain-view table](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-14-32rx5-900.webp) ## Scallion bulgogi and charcoal pre-grilled pork belly The scallion bulgogi and pre-grilled pork belly. Pork belly is a 2-person portion, scallion bulgogi is a 1-person portion. Since they come already cooked, you can eat warm food quickly right at the table! I was too hungry to wait, so this worked out great ![Scallion bulgogi and charcoal pre-grilled pork belly served already cooked](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-15-3giej-900.webp) ![Pre-grilled pork belly on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-16-bdsqe-900.webp) ## Side dishes: doenjang jjigae, egg custard, bibim noodles Then the side dishes started coming out. The countryside grandma's doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) has a bit of a homemade paste feel. Packed with ingredients and salty enough that mixing it into rice is amazing. Made me think of my grandmother's cooking... ![Countryside grandma's doenjang jjigae packed with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-17-i5c90-900.webp) Bulhyangjip's best menu, the bibim noodles, and the mom's hand egg custard made for the baby. Mom must really have big hands. It came out in a huge, huge stone pot — I thought ₩7,000 was a bit pricey, but that's because the portion was massive. The bibim noodles were a first-time delicious flavor for me. A bit of that nutty perilla oil (?) flavor with a moderate spiciness — you really have to try it to understand. Also worth noting, the portion here was enormous too. It was just two adults and one baby but the amount of food was massive. Time to dig in!! ![Mom's hand egg custard and bibim noodles served in a large stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-18-5hw7h-900.webp) First, the main meat dish. The scallion bulgogi loaded with scallions, yum. Eating the moderately salty bulgogi grilled over fire together with the sweet scallions is such a great combo. Not greasy at all so it goes down easily. It's a shame it only comes in a 1-person portion ![Scallion bulgogi loaded with scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-19-2wdva-900.webp) ![Scallion bulgogi and scallions grilled over fire](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-20-1kcfu-900.webp) ![A bite of scallion bulgogi picked up](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-21-1hg89-900.webp) ![A piece of charcoal pre-grilled pork belly with the fat rendered off](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-22-g4gsh-900.webp) The pre-grilled pork belly, having its fat rendered off over charcoal first, tasted nutty and light ## My menu recommendations after trying everything I ate so much meat and so many sides I nearly burst. Having tried a bit of everything, here's my comparison and recommendation - Meat pick: scallion bulgogi >>>> pre-grilled pork belly - The pre-grilled pork belly is tasty too, but the scallion bulgogi feels like Bulhyangjip's signature dish, so I'd recommend it more - We went with our baby and ordered more pork belly, but next time I'll order scallion bulgogi for 2 and pre-grilled pork belly for 1!! - Side pick: doenjang jjigae and egg custard! The doenjang jjigae is seriously a rice thief when you mix it into your rice. It tastes like it's made with homemade paste, genuinely like something grandma would have made. But the doenjang jjigae is a bit spicy so the baby can't eat it. So you need to also order something to share with the baby. Something baby and mom and dad can all eat — the egg custard can't possibly taste bad! A dinner that left baby, mom, and dad all satisfied and full. Thumbs up! Ate well and heading home 🤍 great taste, great scenery, great mood ![The table at Bulhyangjip after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-23-cze1q-900.webp) ![The mountain view at Bulhyangjip after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes/siheung-mulwang-bulhyangjip-pork-side-dishes-24-1ukgf-900.webp) If you're looking for a great meat restaurant near Mulwang Reservoir, a spot for a family outing or company dinner, or you just love meat with plenty of charcoal-smoke flavor, come check it out!
