Dangok Station Korean BBQ: 200g pork belly ₩15,000, Bongyong Pajeori

I'd been craving pajeori samgyeopsal (scallion salad pork belly) for a while, so I visited Bongyong Pajeori Samgyeopsal near Dangok Station!

How to walk to Bongyong Pajeori Samgyeopsal from Dangok Station

Bongyong Pajeori Samgyeopsal is at 228 Bongcheon-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, South Korea, about a 5-minute walk from Exit 2 of Dangok Station! Walk toward Dangok intersection and you'll spot it quickly.

Rice is ₩1,000 when you order pork belly, but during lunch hours 11:30–14:30 it's free, so this place also works well as a lunch spot!!!

Inside Bongyong Pajeori Samgyeopsal: seating and atmosphere

It really felt like a place that's been running for a long time! The kind of spot that can't help but be a genuine local favorite 👍

Bongyong Pajeori Samgyeopsal menu and prices

The menu board at Bongyong Pajeori Samgyeopsal only had domestic pajeori samgyeopsal 200g for ₩15,000, and rice. That's really the whole menu — pork belly and rice!! They don't sell anything else, which honestly smells like a real local favorite, haha. Pretty affordable, right?!

If you take part in the review event, they'll give you a drink or rice, so keep that in mind~

What comes with the meal: banchan and table setting

The basic side dishes at Bongyong Pajeori Samgyeopsal are lettuce, kimchi, garlic, and pickled radish. Once I ordered, the table came out generously set up~ Fresh lettuce, kimchi, and garlic came as standard, along with tangy-sweet pickled radish soup that paired well with the meat! There was also sauce, essential for pork belly, so I could mix and match to my taste, haha.

The kimchi was tangy too, which went really well with the pajeori samgyeopsal~!!

How does the pajeori samgyeopsal taste?

And now the thing I was most looking forward to — the pajeori (scallion salad)! Even in photos you can see the generous pile of shredded scallions, and eating it together with the pork belly, the combo really lived up to the name, haha. Piling the spicy-tangy seasoned scallions onto nicely grilled pork belly and wrapping it in lettuce cut the greasiness while adding a crunchy texture from the scallions — I just kept reaching for more, ugh. Writing this is making me want to eat it again, ugh.

The pork belly grilled up golden brown, nicely browned on the outside with a juicy inside! The best part was how the savory fat from the pork belly blended with the pajeori seasoning, haha. Loading up on pajeori was definitely better than eating the pork belly plain!

The best way to eat pork belly with scallion salad

My favorite way to eat it was putting a piece of pork belly on lettuce, piling on plenty of pajeori, adding garlic, and eating it all in one bite. You get the savoriness of the pork belly, the spicy-tangy pajeori, and the sharp bite of garlic all at once — a combo that anyone who likes pork belly would find satisfying, haha.

Like in the photo, at the end I kept eating pork belly together with pajeori — the pajeori went so well with the meat that I kept adding more throughout the meal, haha. With lettuce and garlic added in too, it made for a satisfying, filling meal!!

Final verdict: who should eat at Bongyong Pajeori Samgyeopsal

I think Bongyong Pajeori Samgyeopsal is a great spot for anyone who likes the pork belly and pajeori combo! Since rice is free during lunch hours, it's also good for those who want pork belly with rice as a full meal~~ The savory flavor of the pork belly itself was great, but the biggest draw here is really the pork belly loaded with pajeori, just like the name says, haha. Next time I visit, I want to properly enjoy the pork belly and pajeori combo all over again! 🥩💕

+ It was so good that I already promised my friend we'd go back, haha. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
