Inside Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul: four-person tables and a group room

The inside of Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul~ Basically 4-person tables, and there was also a separate group room near the entrance! Very clean interior.

The menu at Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul and the signature pork neck and belly set

True to its name, there was a wide variety of black pork dishes! We ordered Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul's signature pork neck + pork belly set menu!

Side dishes and the house-made mushroom wasabi

The basic side dishes at Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul included white kimchi, lettuce, mountain garlic leaves (myeongi namul), cabbage salad, chive salad and more, but the real kicker was that they give you mushroom wasabi as standard 😆

The basic side dishes were self-serve, so you could take as much as you wanted. I was surprised how clean the self-serve bar was.

Charcoal-grilled black pork, from king oyster mushrooms to the owner's pre-grill

Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul is a charcoal-grill restaurant! First they lit the charcoal and grilled the king oyster mushrooms, which come wrapped in foil as a standard item.

The king oyster mushrooms grilled over charcoal were amazing...!!! Packed with mushroom juices. Our family cut them into long pieces to eat 😊

Aged raw Jirisan black pork (600-2), ₩62,000. The owner first showed us the size of the black pork belly and neck. It looked thick-cut and fresh!! And it's even Jirisan black pork👍🏻

Then it was pre-grilled and cut into bite-sized pieces for us. So convenient not having to grill it ourselves haha

Looks super appetizing right?!🤗 The pork neck was cut thick. The pork belly we could cut to our own taste.

Thick-cut black pork neck that still came out tender

I used to think pork neck was just so-so, but eating it at Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul changed my mind..! Even though it was thick, the pork neck was truly tender and packed with juices 🥹🥹 There's a reason it's their signature dish.

Five-layer pork belly dipped in house-made meljeot (salted anchovy sauce)

Next up, pork belly! We dipped the pork belly in homemade meljeot (fermented anchovy sauce). First time pork belly melted in my mouth like that. I kept marveling at it the whole time I was eating.

Also with the mushroom wasabi~~ This mushroom wasabi was so good I refilled it three times👍🏻

They also gave us a bit of ggodeulsal (crunchy pork cut) on the house — chewy and nutty. It would be great as a standalone menu item, but unfortunately they only offer it in small servings on the house ㅜㅠ Every single cut was so delicious...💓

600g for three, then one more serving of pork belly

Even after the three of us ate close to 600g of meat, we still ordered an extra serving of black pork belly haha. One serving came with two pieces.

Mountain garlic leaves, mushroom wasabi in lettuce wraps~~ The meat was so tender it just slid right down...🥹🥹

Steamed egg and mukbaan (acorn jelly noodle soup) came on the house! You could really feel the owner's genuine care in the food here. Even the mukbaan broth was made from scratch, giving it real depth of flavor...!!! Even my food-savvy mom approved of the mukbaan ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Dessert bibim naengmyeon for ₩5,000

Dessert bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles), ₩5,000. They had both regular naengmyeon and a dessert-portion naengmyeon! We ordered the dessert bibim naengmyeon~~

Even the sauce here is all made in-house by the owner at Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul 🥹 That's why it had such depth of flavor — a meat restaurant where you can really feel the owner's dedication👍🏻

Is Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul worth it for a family dinner?

We came as a family and ate until we were completely stuffed..🥹 Above all, from start to finish every single dish showed the owner's genuine care at Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul!! I was really satisfied, but even my mom and dad ate it up too!! My mom said this is what real pork belly should taste like~ high praise ^^ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Since it's close to home, I'm sure we'll definitely be back. If you want kind service and delicious black pork, head to Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul Gajeong Ruwon City Main Branch! Highly recommend it as a meat restaurant in Incheon's Ruwon City!👍🏻
