Grilled 4mm pork belly for three near Suwon Station: Taejang Sikdang

Taejang Sikdang Suwon Station Branch is a frozen pork belly (naengsam) restaurant on the second floor of an alley off Hyanggyo-ro in Paldal-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi. Three servings of the signature 4mm frozen pork belly were grilled with kimchi, bean sprouts and bracken fern, with steamed egg and cold bibim noodles on the side, and even at 4mm the pork was neither thin nor skimpy. With 90s to 2000s K-pop song festivals on the screens and a retro old-school mood, Taejang Sikdang suits a drink on the way home from work.

Suwon Station date spot for live octopus beef tartare: Yukhoe Dokjon

Yukhoe Dokjon Suwon Station Branch is a Korean beef tartare, sashimi and live octopus bar on the first floor of Dream Plaza on Hyanggyo-ro in Suwon, Gyeonggi. The order was the live octopus and hanwoo beef tartare set for two at 34,000 won, mixed with egg yolk and eaten with slices of pear, served alongside a beef and radish soup that comes as standard and simmers at the table over a solid fuel burner. Calm and tidy rather than noisy, Yukhoe Dokjon works well as a date spot for yukhoe and a glass of soju near Suwon Station.
