The writer arrived at 5:30pm on a Friday after work and ordered three servings of ogyeopsal (five-layer pork belly) and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), and the owner measured the grill temperature with a thermometer and cooked the meat at the table. With a beach walk right after dinner, Neolpanji works well for a group night out or a date. ## Good to know - **Location**: 210 Samho-ro, 1st floor, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (2-minute walk from Yeongildae Beach) - **Hours**: 17:00–24:00 (until 1:00am the next day on Saturdays) - **Parking**: Roadside parking along Yeongildae Beach or the public parking lots - **Waiting**: Naver reservation essential on weekends - **Meat options**: Makchang (grilled intestine), samgyeopsal (pork belly), ogyeopsal (five-layer pork belly) - **Order minimum**: At least 3 servings on the first order, pork skin not counted - **Ordering method**: Tablet at each table - **What we ordered**: 3 servings of ogyeopsal, doenjang jjigae *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Main photo of Neolpanji, a BBQ restaurant near Yeongildae Beach in Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-01-77fbp-1200.webp) Today my work bestie and I headed out for Friday-night fun 🍺🍺🍺 to Yeongildae Beach, one of Pohang's hottest spots. I mean, Yeongildae is basically THE place in Pohang, so of course we had to go on a Friday~! lolllll I heard there's a pork-belly sanctuary for office workers right by Yeongildae Beach, perfect for get-togethers and dates alike, so I went to check out [Neolpanji Yeongildae] — here's my honest review!! 😃 ## Where is Neolpanji Pohang Yeongildae Branch, and when is it open? - 📍Location: 210 Samho-ro, 1st floor, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do - ⏰Hours: 17:00–24:00 (open until 1:00am the following day on Saturdays) - 🅿️Parking: roadside parking along Yeongildae Beach or nearby public parking lots - ⭐Waiting: Naver reservation required on weekends ## How to walk to Neolpanji from Yeongildae Beach ![The walk to Neolpanji from Yeongildae Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-02-lezlq-966.webp) Neolpanji is a 2-minute walk from Yeongildae Beach, right next to the shore. Parking was possible along the roadside by the beach, and there's a public parking lot nearby too, so parking wasn't hard at all 🅿️ We clocked out early on Friday and rushed over, arriving around 5:30, and before long the place was completely full,, if you're planning a weekend visit, reservations are a must 🫠 ## Inside Neolpanji: seating, mood and the side dish spread ![Interior seating at Neolpanji Pohang Yeongildae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-03-1u7k3-m-966.webp) ![A uniform hanging in the interior of Neolpanji](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-04-172yl-m-966.webp) The interior was TOP ❗ among local restaurants. It felt like an old, well-worn place with real character, but overall super clean. Not a speck of dust on the floor or tables either. There was a uniform hanging on one side of the shop, and soccer happened to be playing on the TV ⚽ — a guess (?) that it's the owner's taste haha ![Neolpanji's menu listing makchang, samgyeopsal, and ogyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-05-1rry0-966.webp) They had makchang, samgyeopsal, and ogyeopsal, and note that on your first order you need at least 3 servings, not counting pork skin ⭐ ![Tablet PC for ordering placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-06-mu8e8-966.webp) Ordering was easy with the tablet PC set up at each table haha ![Side dishes at Neolpanji including green onion salad and wrapping vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-07-1ky1l-966.webp) For side dishes, they gave us a nice variety: seasoned green onion salad, dried radish, wrapping vegetables, bean sprouts to grill, bracken fern, and more haha ![A drink poured alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-08-1ie2e-m-966.webp) You can't have meat + Friday night without alcohol🍻 Watching her pour it so smoothly..🫶 just looking at it feels refreshing~ ## How were the three servings of ogyeopsal and the doenjang jjigae? What we ordered at Neolpanji: 3 servings of ogyeopsal and doenjang jjigae. Finally, the main event 〰️〰️〰️ ![Greens and ogyeopsal on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-09-8vfkt-966.webp) The owner measured the grill temperature with a thermometer and personally laid out the greens and meat in order for us ![Three servings of ogyeopsal grilling to a golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-10-yto91-966.webp) We ordered 3 servings of ogyeopsal 😉 Watching the meat turn golden brown — looking at this photo again while writing this post is making me want it all over again😂 ![Grilled ogyeopsal with the skin still attached](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-11-2i7yw-966.webp) The meat had zero gamey smell, and the flavor was savory and incredibly rich!! Since it was ogyeopsal, the skin was chewy and springy too, so delicious 😋 ![Neolpanji's thick doenjang jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-12-bp8a0-966.webp) You can't skip doenjang jjigae when eating meat. It had a thick, rich consistency, which made it even tastier. You could down a whole bottle of soju with just the stew~ lol ![A walk along Yeongildae Beach after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly/pohang-yeongildae-friday-night-pork-belly-13-r9bn0-966.webp) After eating, we took a walk along Yeongildae Beach 🚶➡️🚶➡️ With the weather cooling down lately, walking like this helped digestion and set such a nice mood💞 Neolpanji is close to the ocean, which I love, and it's perfect for get-togethers or dates too, so I think I'll want to come back often haha.
