A private-room Korean BBQ restaurant in Ruwon City, Incheon

Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul Gajeong Ruwon City Main Branch is open Monday to Friday from 16:30 to 24:00 and Saturday to Sunday from 12:00 to 24:00, with last orders at 23:00. Parking is available in the restaurant building, too!

Today, I visited Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul Gajeong Ruwon City Main Branch, a meat restaurant in Gajeong-dong, Incheon, with my family. The interior was clean and spacious, and because we had reserved, everything was set up in advance—so nice!!! 👍 They first bring out the basic side dishes, and you can use the self-service bar if you need more.

A private-room restaurant for company dinners and family gatherings

Honestly, not every meat restaurant has private rooms, right? But Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul in Ruwon City, Incheon has rooms for company dinners!!! It’s perfect for a work dinner or family gathering~

Thick, fresh Jirisan black pork

They carefully low-temperature-age Jirisan black pork for seven days, then pre-grill it over charcoal. The thick, fresh meat was absolutely amazing!!! ✨️

Complimentary steamed egg and muksabal

At Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul, a meat restaurant in Ruwon City, Incheon, steamed egg and muksabal (cold acorn-jelly soup) come complimentary!!! Isn’t it great to get two free dishes?! Of course, we had to have a can of Coke, too!!!! A meal just isn’t complete without a drink~~🥤

Our order and the convenient grilling service

As I mentioned above, they pre-grill the meat for you, and the grilling service was so convenient and nice, haha. They also use solar salt from Sinan!! A generous sprinkle over the meat~🧂 They do not pre-grill it back in the kitchen; they do it where diners can watch, so you get a little fire show and can see the entire grilling process~~🔥🔥

• Jirisan black pork 600g set for 3 (pork neck + five-layer pork belly) — ₩62,000
• 2 bowls of Suhyangmi rice — ₩2,000
• 1 can of Coca-Cola — ₩2,000

Suhyangmi rice that was nutty and delicious on its own

They use premium Suhyangmi rice, and it was seriously delicious!!! It was glossy as if it had been brushed with oil, the grains were large, and it had such a lovely nutty flavor even on its own.🍚 My younger brother said he wished we could eat rice like this at home, too.🤣🤣 (It was enough to make the saying, “Rice is all the same wherever you go,” completely disappear!)

From salt to meljeot and shiitake wasabi

They told us to try it with salt first, and wow, it tasted heavenly. Next, black pork with meljeot (fermented anchovy sauce)!!!🩷 We kept the meljeot over the charcoal, and the chili peppers in the sauce were incredible with the meat, too. The owner also recommended pairing the pork with shiitake wasabi, and that was fantastic!!!💚

The owner said many guests think the meat is undercooked, but that the bright rosy pork is actually at its most delicious. I took a bite and was surprised by how chewy it was and how the juices burst out!!! (It isn’t undercooked.😉) And the button mushrooms in foil!!!🍄 They said wrapping mushrooms in foil brings out their umami and keeps them juicy. (They don’t shrivel up, which is great!!!🙂)

Everyone in my family said it was the first time in a while they had eaten meat this delicious. The meat was great, the rice was great, and we all said we should come back next time. (I need to bring my husband, too~!🩷) If you’re looking for a fantastic meat restaurant in Seohae-gu, Incheon for a company dinner, lunch or dinner gathering, or date, I highly recommend Heukdwaeji Hyeongjedeul!!!
