I hadn't been in a while, so I paid another visit to this longtime favorite among Uijeongbu Sinsigaji restaurants. Every time I visit Geuttaegeujip, one of the top restaurants in Uijeongbu Sinsigaji, the meat quality and side dishes are consistently great, and being open 24 hours is a huge plus on top of that. Since it runs around the clock, the meal menus are also great for daytime eating and I'd recommend them, but this time I came specifically for cauldron-lid pork belly, which I hadn't had in a while!! ![Cauldron-lid pork belly table setting at Geuttaegeujip in Uijeongbu Sinsigaji](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-01-fsee0-900.webp) - 📍 Location: 1F, 25 Beomgol-ro 145beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si - ⏰️ Hours: Open 24 hours - 🅿️ Nearby public parking — Baekseokcheon Public Underground Parking Lot No. 1, ₩300 per 10 minutes ## Where is Geuttaegeujip and where do you park? Geuttaegeujip is a 1–2 minute walk from Exit 1 of Uijeongbu Station on the light rail, right in the middle of the Sinsigaji entertainment alley, so it's easy to find. That said, parking right by the store is tight, so it's better to use a nearby public parking lot. I live nearby so I walked over, and since soju with pork belly is basically the golden rule, I was glad I could drink without worrying about getting home haha😆 ![Exterior of Geuttaegeujip in the entertainment alley near Uijeongbu Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-02-18jwn-900.webp) ![Entrance of Geuttaegeujip](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-03-1b3j6-900.webp) ![Fresh meat aging fridge placed at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-04-1jz01-900.webp) Right at the entrance, the fresh meat aging fridge catches your eye😋👍 ### Geuttaegeujip's menu and what we ordered ![Geuttaegeujip's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-05-70vn6-900.webp) Our order - Pork belly x2 - Pork neck x1 - Soju x3 ![Order of pork belly, pork neck, and soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-06-94qgg-900.webp) ![Clean and tidy interior of Geuttaegeujip](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-07-9c3q8-900.webp) The place has a clean, tidy style. Right after sitting down, we ordered two servings of pork belly first!!! ![Well-oiled, shiny cauldron-lid grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-08-sxrl3-900.webp) The cauldron lid was so well oiled and maintained it was practically shiny. ![Cauldron-lid grill set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-09-1a4ci-900.webp) ## Aged kimchi and the side dishes at Geuttaegeujip At Geuttaegeujip, the two servings of pork belly and the kimchi came out first. The kimchi was properly aged, and it's a perfect match with pork belly😋 Mushrooms and onions came out to grill alongside, and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) is included as standard! ![Two servings of pork belly with aged kimchi, mushrooms and onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-10-11lza-900.webp) ![Doenjang jjigae served as a basic side](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-11-b0b0l-900.webp) A very wide variety of side dishes came out. Since this place is known for its meal menus too, every side dish was delicious!! Side dishes: seaweed stem, broccoli, spicy radish salad, fish cake stir-fry, pickled radish, lettuce wraps, and chive-onion sauce to go with the meat ![Side dish spread including seaweed stem and spicy radish salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-12-6e2rc-900.webp) ## How the pork belly is grilled on the cauldron lid Once the grill was heated just right, the meat went straight on. The pork belly had a great balance of fat and lean meat — a really good cut. ![Raw pork belly placed on the cauldron lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-13-11e31-900.webp) Pork belly obviously calls for soju~~ ![Soju served alongside the pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-14-1knd4-900.webp) The grill cooks the meat fast, so it was ready in no time. That's a cauldron lid for you!!👍 The fat drains off well and the meat cooks nicely, so I really love cauldron-lid grills — cauldron-lid pork belly isn't that common, so I make a point of seeking it out. ![Pork belly cooking on the cauldron lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-15-1ytms-1200.webp) ![Aged kimchi placed on the oil-runoff side of the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-16-12zmn-900.webp) We placed the kimchi on the side where the oil runs off. Kimchi gets tastier the longer it grills, so it's fine to take your time with it. ![Long-grilled kimchi with pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-17-8crtr-900.webp) Pork belly grilled to a perfect golden brown!! ![A golden-brown grilled piece of pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-18-1cdhs-900.webp) Eating it with the chive-onion sauce is the cleanest and tastiest way. ![Grilled pork belly topped with chive-onion sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-19-1lnrm-900.webp) And wrapping a bite in fresh lettuce~ ![Pork belly wrapped in lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-20-1909z-900.webp) Eating along with the well-grilled kimchi, I naturally started craving rice. The kimchi was so good it went down easily, and rice was inevitable at that point haha. I always worry about weight gain, but the kimchi was so delicious I really wanted plain white rice😂 ![White rice served with grilled kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-21-tt90x-900.webp) ![Meat spread served together with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-22-7ye1o-900.webp) ### Adding pork neck: how it differs from the pork belly The pork belly was so good that I felt a little regretful and added one serving of pork neck. The pork neck also had an excellent fat-to-meat ratio👏👏👏 It's a bit leaner than pork belly, so it feels less heavy haha. I would've regretted it if I hadn't added the extra serving!!😂 ![Additional serving of pork neck ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-23-n9x3r-900.webp) ![Pork neck and kimchi grilling on the cauldron lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-24-18nnd-900.webp) The kimchi really seems to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting here!! Both the meat quality and kimchi quality backed each other up, and it was all delicious. ## Is Geuttaegeujip worth it? Final verdict Whenever I visit Geuttaegeujip, the meat quality, kimchi flavor, and side dishes are all excellent every time. Add being open 24 hours on top of that, and it's basically perfect~ It's an old-school spot that goes great with drinks, so it's good for having a soju with cauldron-lid kimchi pork belly, and since the side dishes are also skillfully made, it's a great place to come for a regular meal too!! If you're looking for a cauldron-lid kimchi pork belly restaurant in Uijeongbu Sinsigaji, Geuttaegeujip is the answer!! ## Where it is - Geuttaegeujip (그때그집) - 1F, 25 Beomgol-ro 145beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 의정부시 범골로145번길 25 1층 - 37.7371655, 127.0412333 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B7%B8%EB%95%8C%EA%B7%B8%EC%A7%91/@37.7371655,127.0412333,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@hwaseong-side-plate/geuttae-geujip-uijeongbu-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
