On a summer trip to Yangyang, two servings of chuck flap tail (salchisal) came with pot rice and kimchi stew, and the beef grilled over coffee-wood bijangtan charcoal melted with no gamy smell, down to the savory scorched rice crust in the pot. For a clean, well-made meat meal in Yangyang, Yeoyejeong is the answer. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Wed–Mon 11:30–21:00 (break 15:00–17:00) - **Closed**: Every Tuesday - **Lunch last order**: Meat orders by 13:30; lunch specials by 14:00 - **Ordered**: Chuck flap tail (salchisal) for two, pot rice, kimchi stew - **Address**: 49 Ssangsolbaegi-gil, Seo-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do *as written by the visitor on Aug 19, 2026* ## Why Yeoyejeong was the summer vacation meat stop in Yangyang Yeoyejeong is a charcoal barbecue restaurant at 49 Ssangsolbaegi-gil, Seo-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do. I hadn't been to Yangyang for a summer vacation in a while, and honestly there aren't many good restaurants in this area ㅠㅠ Between driving all the way to Sokcho or having barely any other options, I found a real hidden gem that only locals seem to know about! > Hours — Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon 11:30–21:00 (break 15:00–17:00), closed every Tuesday. Lunch meat orders close at 13:30 / lunch specials close at 14:00 ![Front view of Yeoyejeong's entrance in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-01-20dms-m-966.webp) ## Yeoyejeong's mountain-lodge exterior and dining room The first thing that caught my eye the moment I arrived at Yeoyejeong was the classic, mountain-lodge-style wood-toned exterior. ![Wood-toned exterior with a mountain-lodge look](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-02-7prup-966.webp) A gorgeous timber building blending into nature, with rows of onggi jars (traditional earthenware pots) out front — even before stepping inside, it felt warm and inviting. ![Timber building courtyard with onggi jars](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-03-o23pb-966.webp) The interior was just as clean and cozy, making it a really comfortable place to eat during a trip. ![Clean, cozy seating inside Yeoyejeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-04-1lvcw-966.webp) Thanks to the quiet, unhurried atmosphere visible through the windows, it's also a solid pick for a family gathering or a date. ![Window-side seat with a view outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-05-1esux-966.webp) The wall covered in fans' drawings almost seems to speak to what this place is all about haha. ![Wall covered with fans' drawings](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-06-1xprr-966.webp) ## What we ordered at Yeoyejeong: chuck flap tail for two, pot rice and kimchi stew At Yeoyejeong we ordered two servings of chuck flap tail (salchisal), plus pot rice and kimchi stew. The marinated ribs are famous here too, but the place clearly takes such pride in its meat that I went with the salchisal instead. Yeoyejeong really delivers on value for money! ![Table spread with chuck flap tail](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-07-ltlxu-966.webp) They apparently use salt-aged beef along with a special kind of charcoal. ![Coffee-wood bijangtan charcoal on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-08-199aw-966.webp) ### Why Yeoyejeong grills over coffee-wood bijangtan charcoal They use coffee-wood bijangtan charcoal, which costs 2–3 times more than regular charcoal. It doesn't spark, so it's reassuring with kids around, and even when fat drips onto it, it doesn't flare up or produce much smoke — so your clothes end up barely smelling like smoke and the meal stays clean. ### Where Yeoyejeong's lettuce and side dishes come from You could feel real care in the side dishes and vegetables served with the meat. The lettuce for wrapping comes from a year-round contract with pesticide-free, sterile hydroponic smart farm lettuce grown by the Yangyang-gun Association for the Disabled. Eating it felt like taking part in something good, which warmed my heart even more. ![Smart-farm lettuce and side dishes laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-09-zkx6o-966.webp) The peppers and vegetables used in the side dishes are apparently either grown directly on fields in Yangyang or sourced fresh from Yangyang Market. Maybe that's why every single side dish felt clean and made from fresh ingredients. ## Chuck flap tail at Yeoyejeong: marbling and charcoal aroma Yeoyejeong's salchisal drew a gasp the moment it arrived, with marbling packed in tight. ![Raw chuck flap tail with dense marbling](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-10-1mu1j-966.webp) You could tell at a glance the meat quality was excellent. ![Close-up of chuck flap tail on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-11-g7417-966.webp) They grill it carefully over the charcoal haha. ![Chuck flap tail grilling over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-12-1mzix-966.webp) Garlic and mushrooms went on the grill along with it. ![Grill topped with garlic and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-13-1nvra-966.webp) Cooked just lightly on the grill and taken in one bite, the savory juices bursting from the marbling and the tender texture were truly outstanding. ![A lightly grilled piece of chuck flap tail](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-14-13vge-966.webp) The meat really melted in my mouth. ![Cross-section of grilled chuck flap tail](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-15-149es-966.webp) No gamy smell, not chewy at all, and full of charcoal aroma — completely my style! ![Chuck flap tail served with salt and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-16-zj4je-966.webp) The meat's quality was so good on its own that even with just a touch of wasabi and salt, you could taste its natural flavor fully. I really recommend the salt-and-wasabi combo! I never expected to find the best salchisal of my life in Yangyang! ![Lettuce wrap with ssamjang and chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-17-1lamw-966.webp) Wrapped in fresh lettuce with just ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste) and chives on top, it's also delicious. ![Full spread of chuck flap tail, pot rice, and kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-18-1dgsq-1200.webp) ## Order Yeoyejeong's pot rice and kimchi stew together Make sure to also try the pot rice (sotbap), with its deep, savory flavor, and the spicy kimchi stew (kimchi jjigae) at Yeoyejeong. ![Kimchi stew bubbling in an earthenware pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-19-1l2by-966.webp) The spicy, deep kimchi stew is genuinely appealing — its hot, tangy broth cuts right through the rich fattiness of the salchisal. ![Kimchi stew broth packed with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-20-77bvy-966.webp) Simmered a long time for deep flavor and packed generously with ingredients, it holds its own against any dedicated kimchi stew restaurant. ![A bowl of kimchi stew served out](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-21-115jj-966.webp) Being able to eat freshly cooked pot rice at such a reasonable price is one of this place's biggest strengths! ![Freshly made pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-22-1k2us-966.webp) They first scoop out the fluffy, glossy rice, then pour warm water into the pot to make a scorched rice crust (nurungji). ![Warm water poured into the pot to make nurungji](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-23-9acd5-966.webp) I really loved this nurungji! ![Finished savory scorched rice crust](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-chuck-flap-clay-pot-rice-24-hrqc3-966.webp) Savory and deep-flavored, it goes perfectly with both the meat and the kimchi stew! ## Who Yeoyejeong in Yangyang suits best With its charming atmosphere plus excellent meat quality and side dishes, Yeoyejeong is a Yangyang restaurant that had it all.
