Anmin Jung-dong takes up a spacious ground-floor spot near Unicity in Changwon's Jung-dong. It's the kind of place where you can eat pork belly in an upscale atmosphere. Since it's one of the busiest spots in Changwon with long waits, we did a 5pm opening run reservation hahahaha. You can also reserve by phone or through on-site tableting, so it's best to book ahead.

Parking is completely stress-free here — park at the public lot right in front and get 2 hours free, making this a Changwon pork belly spot with zero parking worries.

Inside Anmin Jung-dong and the private group room

Inside, Anmin Jung-dong has a warm, calm, and upscale wood interior. The atmosphere is nice enough that it'd work well for bringing your parents, too. The tables and seats themselves are big and wide, so a large group can sit comfortably — a real Changwon Jung-dong pork restaurant.

There's also a private group room for a quieter, more secluded setup, which makes it great for family gatherings in Jung-dong, Changwon.

Anmin Jung-dong menu and what we ordered

This Changwon Jung-dong pork restaurant only serves domestic fresh grilled pork. There were 5 types of grilled cuts prepared: pork belly, whole pork neck, special cuts, pork skin, and pork jowl. For drinks, there's everything from higher-end options like Ilpum Jinro and Hwayo to cocktails, so there's plenty of choice.

• Whole pork belly (3 servings)
• White fried rice
• Steamed egg

Side dishes come as a full spread, and the yuzu pickled radish steals it

The side dishes come as a full spread — lots of variety, neatly arranged, which just puts you in a good mood. Cabbage salad, lettuce wraps, all the right things to eat alongside the meat. For me, the kicker here is the yuzu pickled radish! The subtle yuzu aroma makes it so good!

Three servings of whole fresh pork belly: thick enough to earn the name

Ta-da — whole pork belly, 3 servings! The meat is thick, so it really lives up to the 'whole pork belly' name, don't you think?

Staff grill the pork from start to finish

Above all, the standout feature of this Changwon Jung-dong pork restaurant is that the staff grill the meat completely from start to finish. All you have to do is eat happily!

The staff grill it to the perfect doneness and cut it into bite-sized pieces! Meat grilled by a true grilling expert really is different... so delicious...

Once grilled, the pieces are neatly arranged on a separate spot on the warm grill plate — and the color alone is enough to make your mouth water! Such a well-grilled Changwon Jung-dong restaurant — they even grill the vegetables all together, perfect to eat alongside the meat.

First bite, dipped in the classic salt — pork belly that melts in your mouth. Anmin Jung-dong has a variety of sauces so you can mix and match to your own taste, which keeps it from getting boring.

White fried rice and steamed egg, the two sides to order

I'd never heard of 'white fried rice' before, so I ordered it out of curiosity — and it really is completely white! It's a cream-based fried rice piled high with snow-white cheese. The seasoning isn't too salty or heavy, but there's a subtle spiciness from the chili peppers mixed in, which keeps the white fried rice from getting tiresome. Savory and soft — really tasty.

We also ordered steamed egg to go with the white fried rice — perfectly seasoned and fluffy, so good! Gone in a flash!
