Since they have a patio, this is exactly the kind of place you want in weather like this! ## Garden patio, indoor window seats and the mood at Jeongyukdo ![Outdoor garden patio tables at Jeongyukdo Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-03-1fi1t-900.webp) Even before stepping inside, we were surprised by how big and pretty the outdoor garden at Jeongyukdo Hapjeong is. So many patio tables! Definitely a spot to remember next time we want patio Korean BBQ near Hapjeong or Hongdae. ![Wide view of the outdoor patio seating at Jeongyukdo Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-04-10gx2-900.webp) ![Entrance and walkway leading into Jeongyukdo Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-05-9r8v7-900.webp) It was a bit warm that day, so we headed into the cool, comfortable interior instead. Second surprise: tons of celebrity autographs on the walls, haha. ![Indoor seating and group tables at Jeongyukdo Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-06-150xc-900.webp) There were plenty of indoor seats too. The place is large overall with group seating available, so it seems great for friend gatherings, work dinners, or dates alike. We sat right by a cool window seat. ## What's on the menu at Jeongyukdo ![Jeongyukdo hanwoo and pork menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-07-1xgl0-906.webp) ![Set menu page at Jeongyukdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-08-jg7su-906.webp) ![Side dish and drinks menu page at Jeongyukdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-09-lg9h0-906.webp) These are Jeongyukdo's signature menu items. Beyond hanwoo (Korean beef), there's a wide range of hanwoo pork options too, and it was nice to be able to pick set menus or side dishes to taste. ## What side dishes come with the meal? ![Tray of basic side dishes at Jeongyukdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-10-4di6x-900.webp) ![Individual plate of basic side dishes at Jeongyukdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-11-1mv02-900.webp) The basic side dishes (banchan) came out quickly, and it was nice that they were arranged neatly right in front of us instead of needing to reach across the table. ![Salt, wasabi, and whole-grain mustard condiments for the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-12-6r6xd-900.webp) Salt, wasabi, and whole-grain mustard for the meat all came out cleanly presented too. ![Hot charcoal brazier brought to the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-13-sgncg-900.webp) Right after, the piping-hot charcoal came in. ## Pork set for 49,000 won: what's in it and how it tasted ![Plate of raw pork set meat at Jeongyukdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-14-1agnj-900.webp) We ordered the pork set (₩49,000) — fresh ribs, pork neck, pork belly, and your choice of a hot pot with meljeot (salted anchovy) or hanwoo beef doenjang stew. We debated the pork specialty-cuts set with hangjeongsal, gabrisal, and galmaegisal, but ended up craving the pork belly and neck more, so we went with the pork set! ![Fresh pork ribs and belly on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-15-1wewo-900.webp) ![Pork neck grilling over the charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-16-ywztg-900.webp) Charcoal grilling meant the fire was strong and there was no oil splatter, which was great. The meat grilled up clean and light. ![Table spread of charcoal-grilled meat with soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-17-1l42z-900.webp) How do you resist a visual like this? We immediately ordered a bottle of soju and started with the side dishes that had come out first, haha. Having everything laid out like a tray right in front of me looked clean and was super convenient. ![Bubbling hanwoo beef doenjang stew in a hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-18-6ak13-900.webp) The doenjang stew (soybean paste stew) was bubbling away — not bland at all, but spicy and rich, the perfect pair for soju, and a spoonful between bites of meat cut right through the grease. ![Thick cuts of pork grilling on the charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-19-1ucfy-900.webp) ![Self-grilled charcoal meat at Jeongyukdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-20-1m47f-900.webp) Note: you grill the meat yourself here! The cuts were nice and thick, and I loved how the charcoal aroma soaked in. ![Charcoal brazier under the smoke-extraction hood](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-21-fvc29-900.webp) The smoke was sucked away really well too, so our clothes barely picked up any smell. Do they clean the hood religiously, or is it just good equipment? I tried a piece of the first batch grilled, and the meat was so tender and light that you could tell right away the quality was good. ![A perfectly grilled piece from the pork set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-22-llcgd-900.webp) Doesn't the fully grilled meat look gorgeous? The juiciness and flavor stayed great to the last bite, and being able to enjoy several different cuts at once made this set so satisfying! ![Fully grilled pork belly and neck on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-23-1jqiz-900.webp) We kept grilling and eating happily until the end. It was just the right amount for two — filling but not overwhelming! ## Verdict: a Hapjeong grill house for dates and group dinners alike ![Table at the end of the meal at Jeongyukdo Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set-24-laybs-900.webp) From 1++ hanwoo to domestic hanwoo pork specialty cuts, Jeongyukdo let us try it all in one visit! With easy transit access it's also a great meeting spot, and with a patio for this kind of weather plus private rooms and group seating indoors, it works for coworkers, friends, or dates — a true all-purpose Hapjeong grill house. If you're looking for a patio-style grill house around Hapjeong or Hongdae, I think this is one you should try at least once. ## Where it is - Jeongyukdo (정육도) - 14 Yanghwa-ro 6-gil, 2nd floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 양화로6길 14 2층 정육도 - 37.5491951, 126.9148751 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%95%EC%9C%A1%EB%8F%84/@37.5491951,126.9148751,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mapo-narrow-menu/hapjeong-jeongyukdo-weekend-date-charcoal-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
