Three servings of flash-frozen pork belly came with fried rice and spicy noodles, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays a free side of cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew) and steamed egg filled the table alongside the generous banchan. Thin-cut naengsam sizzles fast on the grill, giving a crispy-yet-savory bite that's worth the trip. ## Good to know - **Address**: 9 Uwa-ro, Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk-do, South Korea, 1st floor - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 17:00–24:00 (closed Sundays) - **Parking**: Roadside parking near the restaurant - **Flash-frozen pork belly**: ₩14,000 - **Spicy mixed noodles (bibim guksu)**: ₩6,000 - **Fried rice**: ₩3,000 - **Day-of-week service**: Mon/Wed/Fri: kimchi stew / Tue/Thu/Sat: cheonggukjang *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* Hello there ♥️ Crispy and savory frozen pork belly!

Since it's so thin, it starts sizzling the moment it hits the grill haha. ![Golden-brown naengsam grilled alongside kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam-18-1catx-900.webp) ![Glistening naengsam and grilled garlic scapes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam-19-9hm7t-900.webp) Golden brown and gorgeous >< so shiny lol. With just the right amount of fat rendering out, you really get that savory pork flavor coming through haha. Crispy at first bite, savory at the finish — that's the charm of naengsam!! Grilling kimchi, garlic, and garlic scapes alongside the pork belly cuts the richness while adding even more umami 👍🏻 ![Picking up a piece of grilled naengsam](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam-20-2i9ix-900.webp) Wrapped some in lettuce too 🥬 ![Frozen pork belly wrapped in lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam-21-n3j2r-900.webp) ![Fried rice made on the grill with leftover pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam-22-vainv-900.webp) ## Finishing with fried rice and spicy mixed noodles Leave a little meat, chop it up small, and mix it with fried rice for an explosion of savory goodness! So fluffy and delicious haha. ![Sweet and tangy spicy mixed noodles ordered for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam/jeonju-ajungri-frozen-pork-belly-worldnaengsam-23-1d7y6-900.webp) When things start to feel a bit rich, finish off with the sweet and tangy spicy mixed noodles~ The noodles have just the right thickness, and the combo of sauce and sesame oil is unbeatable!
