Pollock roe banchan at an Okjeong BBQ restaurant: Mat Chandeul
In short
Mat Chandeul Wang Sogeum Gui Yangju Branch is a pork belly and pork neck BBQ restaurant on Okjeong-dong-ro 7da-gil in Yangju, Gyeonggi. The writer ordered raw pork belly and pork neck, which staff grilled from start to finish while checking the grill temperature, and the side dishes ran from myeongi wild garlic, seasoned bean sprouts and pickles to salted pollock roe, with an aged kimchi hot pot and stone-pot rice to finish. Thick-cut meat, a large parking lot and a dessert coffee machine make Mat Chandeul an easy choice for both work dinners and family meals.

How thick are the raw pork belly and pork neck cuts?
What we ordered at Mat Chandeul Wang Sogeum Gui Yangju Branch was raw pork belly and pork neck. As soon as we sat down and ordered, the clean side dish setup arrived along with the main meat.
I was a little surprised when I saw the state of the meat right away — the cuts are seriously thick! They come out nearly steak-thick,
The rosy freshness and marbling were really good ✨ I could tell right away why it's mentioned as a top pick among Okjeong pork belly restaurants 🤤
Staff grill for you and check the grill temperature
At Mat Chandeul Wang Sogeum Gui Yangju Branch, staff check the grill temperature and grill the meat from start to finish for you 👍 And you know how at a BBQ place there's usually one person stuck grilling the whole time and barely gets to eat?
Since they grill it to just the right doneness, you can just relax, chat, and wait. I tried the first bite of well-cooked pork belly dipped lightly in salt, and with the golden crust outside and juices bursting with every chew, it was really satisfying 🔥
Side dishes with salted pollock roe, plus aged kimchi hot pot and stone-pot rice
Mat Chandeul also has a solid basic side dish lineup. Wild garlic (myeong-i namul), seasoned bean sprouts, and pickled vegetables come out together, and they pair cleanly with the meat 💯
And what surprised me was that salted pollock roe (myeongnan) came out too, and it was genuinely a highlight!! With such a variety of side dishes, I kept eating without ever getting tired of it! I was also impressed by the friendly service — they had a self-serve bar and quickly refilled any side dish that ran low!
To finish, I added an aged kimchi stew (mukeunji ttukbaegi) and stone-pot rice and left feeling completely full 🍚
Delicious !!!!!!!!!!!
