# Hapjeong Korean BBQ with bibim naengmyeon and Seoul Pay: Ijjok - By Yerin Poh (https://superchart.com/en/@jangchung-noon-stool/) - Written Sep 15, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Mapo, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@jangchung-noon-stool/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@jangchung-noon-stool/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/index.md) ## In short Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal is a kimchi-and-pork-belly Korean BBQ restaurant on the basement floor near Exit 3 of Hapjeong Station in Mapo, Seoul, where the owner grills everything for you. Instead of a set menu, the order was two servings of fresh pork belly at 180g each, one whole pork jowl (hangjeongsal) at 150g and bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles), all à la carte, finished with fried rice plus extra cheese. The thick whole pork jowl paired with the cold noodles, and the cheesy fried rice ending, made the meal fully satisfying at Ijjok. ## Good to know - **Location**: B1, 20 Dokmak-ro 3-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (Hapjeong Station Exit 3) - **Hours**: 11:30 - 23:00 (last order 22:00) - **Break time**: 15:00 - 17:00 - **Order**: Fresh pork belly 180g x 2, whole pork jowl 150g x 1, bibim naengmyeon x 1, finishing fried rice with extra cheese - **Drinks**: One bottle of Chamisul Fresh soju, Zero Coke - **Payment**: Easy-payment store (paid with Seoul Pay) - **Set menus**: 2-3 person set, 3-4 person set / swappable for fresh pork belly or fresh pork neck *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* Do you guys like kimchi samgyeopsal (grilled kimchi pork belly)? I love it soooo much that I already had it near Hapjeong Station last time! But I found an even better kimchi samgyeopsal spot in Hapjeong, so I have to tell you about it right away! It's Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal in Hapjeong! 📍Location: 20 Dokmak-ro 3-gil, B1, Mapo-gu, Seoul (Hapjeong Station Exit 3) ⏰Hours: 11:30 - 23:00, last order 22:00 / break time 15:00 - 17:00 ✅Simple payment accepted (I paid via Seoul Pay!) ## Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal in Hapjeong: menu and what we ordered ![Menu board showing Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal's set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-01-1tijf-900.webp) They have set menus like the 2-3 person set and 3-4 person set, so it seems like a good option for company dinners or gatherings. The set comes with meat, steamed egg, and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) — a classic combo! ☑️Can swap for raw pork belly or raw pork neck ![Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal à la carte menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-02-wl9ht-900.webp) ![Additional page of the Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-03-gpenq-900.webp) We were originally going to order a set menu right away, but that day I was really craving bibim naengmyeon, so we ordered raw pork belly 180g x 2, whole gullet meat 150g x 1, and bibim naengmyeon x 1 instead! ➕Later we also added cheese to the finishing fried rice. (Highly recommend the cheese add-on..🧀) ![Chamisul Fresh soju and Zero Coke on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-04-5b2sd-900.webp) For drinks, we ordered a bottle of Chamisul Fresh soju and a Zero Coke! ## Side dishes at Ijjok: the pickled bean sprouts stand out ![Side dish spread at Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-05-1ahbm-900.webp) Here's a look at the side dishes at Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal! Usually at pork belly restaurants you get pickled onions, but here they serve pickled bean sprouts as a side dish, which is unusual! ![Pickled bean sprouts served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-06-1o3b2-900.webp) The sauce is similar to the pickled onion one, so the flavor is similar, but the texture is different, making it feel like a whole new side dish. If you put this pickled bean sprout on top of kimchi and pork belly together, it's really harmonious and delicious! ➕Bonus: it doesn't get messy on your mouth and fits in one bite, which is even better!! ![Table with ssamjang, salt, and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-07-z5mbo-900.webp) ![Salt and wasabi placed at each table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-08-okqxq-900.webp) Ssamjang (dipping sauce) comes out with the side dishes, and salt and wasabi are set at each table so you can help yourself to as much as you want, which is nice. ## The owner grills the pork for you — how did it taste? ![Interior of Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal with aprons hanging on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-09-1ubv5-m-900.webp) *Aprons hanging all over the walls!* Getting ready to properly dig in~ ![Raw pork belly and kimchi placed on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-10-tgbwb-900.webp) All you have to do is wait for the meat to be grilled. This is a place where they grill it for you, so the owner, who's really skilled at grilling, does it all herself.. And honestly, the owner grills the meat really, really well..👍 I didn't realize it when I was younger, but lately I've really felt that a restaurant that grills the meat for you is the best. ![Grilled kimchi samgyeopsal cooked by the owner](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-11-1nidh-1200.webp) First off, the meat just looks different(?). It's chewy but you can really feel the juices bursting inside, so after one bite I nodded to myself, like ah, this place... it's good, I'm glad I came.. ![Kimchi, potatoes, and mushrooms cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-12-10m92-900.webp) Plus the heat on the grill was really good, so the kimchi cooked up super deliciously, and the potatoes and mushrooms were really tasty too. ![Fully cooked pork belly with side dishes on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-13-w8v0k-900.webp) ### Thick whole pork jowl with bibim naengmyeon at Ijjok The whole gullet meat is just as delicious as the pork belly, if not more. True to its name of "whole" gullet meat, it's not thinly sliced but comes out nice and thick, and it's really tasty.. ![Thick whole gullet meat on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-14-lgfi4-900.webp) ![Bibim naengmyeon served alongside the whole gullet meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-15-unugf-900.webp) Right around when we were eating the whole gullet meat, the bibim naengmyeon arrived, so we tried them together, and I recommend this combo. Bibim naengmyeon + meat.. it's a combination that can't fail. ![Finishing fried rice with added cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon-16-1ztrm-900.webp) ## Finishing with fried rice and extra cheese After finishing all that, we thoroughly enjoyed the finishing fried rice with cheese added too. Fried rice is basically the golden rule, right? Their fried rice is really good too.. I was clearly super full, but I ate half of it myself.. I highly recommend the finishing fried rice too. It's even better with cheese added~ ## Where it is - Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal (이쪽 김치삼겹살) - 20 Dokmak-ro 3-gil, B1, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 독막로3길 20 지하 1층 - 37.5492023, 126.9169637 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%AA%BD%20%EA%B9%80%EC%B9%98%EC%82%BC%EA%B2%B9%EC%82%B4/@37.5492023,126.9169637,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jangchung-noon-stool/hapjeong-ijjok-kimchi-samgyeopsal-bibim-naengmyeon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
