On a weekday visit at 6pm, two servings of pork belly plus freshly cooked stone-pot rice and a cola came to ₩36,000 in total, and the Haenam cabbage and minari (water dropwort) were refilled all evening. With thick-cut pork belly, beef tartare served as a free side and a kimchi pancake you fry yourself, Cheonpo Hoegwan is an easy pick for a team dinner or a casual drink. ## Good to know - **Location**: 21 Beomgol-ro 145beon-gil, 1F, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do (5-minute walk from Uijeongbu Station Exit 2) - **Hours**: 11:00 – 23:00 - **Parking**: Available - **What we ordered**: Pork belly ₩16,000 x 2 + freshly cooked stone-pot rice ₩2,000 + cola ₩2,000 = ₩36,000 - **Lunch special**: ₩12,000 (bulgogi + freshly cooked stone-pot rice) - **Included free**: Beef tartare side dish, ureong doenjang (freshwater snail soybean stew, no refills), refillable wrap vegetables and minari - **Price reference**: ₩36,000 ≈ $26 · ₩16,000 ≈ $11.5 · ₩2,000 ≈ $1.5 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* I heard there was a delicious meat restaurant in Uijeongbu that gives out unlimited domestic Haenam cabbage and minari (water dropwort), so I went to check out Cheonpo Hoegwan Uijeongbu Main Branch (천포회관 의정부본점). ![Signature pork belly dish at Cheonpo Hoegwan Uijeongbu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-01-1amr7-1200.webp) ## Where is Cheonpo Hoegwan, and when is it open? - 📍 Name: Cheonpo Hoegwan (21 Beomgol-ro 145beon-gil, 1F, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea) - ⏰ Hours: 11:00 – 23:00 - 🅿️ Parking: Available ### How long is the walk from Uijeongbu Station? ![Hanok-style exterior of Cheonpo Hoegwan Uijeongbu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-02-ubabc-900.webp) Cheonpo Hoegwan is about a 5-minute walk from Exit 2 of Uijeongbu Station. Thanks to its hanok-style exterior, it stood out from a distance. ![Standing sign advertising the ₩12,000 lunch special](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-03-9cujh-900.webp) Lunch special ⭕️ Given today's prices, getting a hearty bulgogi plus freshly made stone-pot rice for ₩12,000 seemed like a pretty great deal! (I should come back for lunch sometime...!) ### What the dining room is like at 6pm on a weekday Walking inside, the space was much bigger than I expected! I visited around 6pm on a weekday, and several tables were already full, which showed just how popular this place is. ## Cheonpo Hoegwan's menu and our ₩36,000 bill ![Cheonpo Hoegwan menu board listing pork belly and beef rolls](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-04-1nj0j-900.webp) ![Menu board showing Seoul-style bulgogi and sundae gopchang jeongol](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-05-gkgus-900.webp) The menu was packed with variety, from the signature pork belly and beef rolls to Seoul-style bulgogi, sundae gopchang jeongol (blood sausage and intestine hot pot), and various side dishes! We ordered pork belly — ₩16,000 x2, freshly made stone-pot rice — ₩2,000 x1, and cola — ₩2,000 x1. (₩36,000 total) ## Ureong doenjang, wrap vegetables and free-flow minari ![Table of side dishes set out with uroeng doenjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-06-rb2tm-900.webp) As soon as we sat down, several side dishes were set on the table. The staff let us know in advance that the uroeng doenjang (snail paste stew) couldn't be refilled separately, and even gave us a tip that dipping the meat in it tastes amazing. ![Plate of wrap vegetables with perilla leaves, cabbage, and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-07-1vb8e-900.webp) Can you see how fresh the wrap vegetables look 🥹 They prepared a full spread of fresh perilla leaves, cabbage, and minari! The minari in particular kept getting refilled, so we had plenty throughout the meal without ever running short. ## Beef tartare served free as a side dish ![Plate of beef tartare served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-08-i3m8t-900.webp) ![Beef tartare topped with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-09-13pck-900.webp) The amazing part was that beef tartare came out as a basic side dish. Topped with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and minari, it was fresh and tender — really satisfying. ## The kimchi pancake you fry yourself ![Self-serve kimchi pancake batter and cooking area](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-10-b0ha3-900.webp) ![Kimchi pancake frying golden brown in a pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-11-665lq-900.webp) Cheonpo Hoegwan's special touch was the self-grilled kimchi pancake! Once we sat down, they handed us a separate batch of kimchi pancake batter, and there was a designated cooking area off to the side where you fry it yourself. Heating up the pan with plenty of oil and pouring in the batter to cook it golden brown was genuinely fun. ## ₩16,000 pork belly: how thick is it, and how does it taste? ![Plate of thick raw pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-12-xajli-900.webp) ![Two pale-pink cuts of pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-13-u35uj-900.webp) The main dish, pork belly, was noticeably thick at a glance, and the pale pink color of the meat looked so fresh! ![Side dishes of kimchi, spicy radish salad, and shredded scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-14-xkm0t-900.webp) The side dishes for grilling alongside the pork belly were really varied too. Grilling kimchi, spicy radish salad, and shredded scallions together with the meat let us enjoy a wide range of flavors. Whoever thought of that combo has great taste...❤️ ![Pork belly and side dishes grilling on the grate](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-15-1tu01-900.webp) ![Thick pork belly turning golden brown on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-16-diu5n-900.webp) ![Kimchi grilling alongside pork belly on the grate](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-17-ijhm8-900.webp) ![Close-up of fully cooked pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-18-1wa9t-900.webp) ![A juicy piece of pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-19-1s6zs-900.webp) (Can you see how good this looks ㅠ) The pork belly was thick enough that every bite released more savory juices into my mouth — truly delicious. ![Pork belly placed on top of kimchi pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-20-xi5n5-900.webp) ![Wrapping meat in kimchi pancake to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-21-mvkf7-900.webp) I highly recommend wrapping the meat in the kimchi pancake ( the combo is seriously delicious..🥹❤️ ) ## ₩2,000 stone-pot rice, finished with sungnyung (toasted rice tea) ![Glossy, freshly made stone-pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-22-dz3xk-900.webp) ![Fluffy stone-pot rice scooped into a bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-23-1kzw7-900.webp) ![Sungnyung made by pouring hot water into the stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo-24-cie5r-900.webp) The stone-pot rice was glossy and had that fluffy, chewy texture — really good. Pouring hot water into the pot to make a savory sungnyung (scorched rice tea) to finish the meal warmed up my stomach and cleaned my palate — I really liked that touch! ## The verdict on Cheonpo Hoegwan in one line Just a 5-minute walk from Uijeongbu Station makes it easy to get to, and Cheonpo Hoegwan generously serves up domestic Haenam cabbage and minari without holding back. Thick pork belly, fresh beef tartare, and the self-grilled kimchi pancake on top made for a satisfying, filling meal. I'd recommend it for an evening work dinner or a casual drink with friends 🐷 ## Where it is - Cheonpo Hoegwan Uijeongbu Main Branch (천포회관 의정부본점) - 21 Beomgol-ro 145beon-gil, 1F, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 의정부시 범골로145번길 21 1층 - 37.7369608, 127.0412764 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%9C%ED%8F%AC%ED%9A%8C%EA%B4%80%20%EC%9D%98%EC%A0%95%EB%B6%80%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.7369608,127.0412764,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jangchung-back-counter/uijeongbu-station-samgyeopsal-weeknight-dinner-cheonpo/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
