They also take reservations for group dinners, so if you're looking for a gathering or company dinner spot in Jongno3-ga, this would be great! ![Aged meat on display at the entrance of Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-02-wbnsa-900.webp) You can see the meat aging right at the entrance, which makes it feel even more trustworthy, right?

There were also various sauces to eat with the meat. Personally, the salt was the star... it was delicious even just dipped plain. ![Thin pork belly and black pork belly on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-11-7mby3-900.webp) ![Staff grilling pork belly at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-12-1x4zf-900.webp) The pork belly and black pork belly we ordered first came out. Staff grill everything for you, so you don't have to worry about a thing~ And the key point of Cham Dwaejitgan in Jongno3-ga was wrapping the meat in thin potato slices — such a treat! ![Cham Dwaejitgan pork wrapped in a thin potato slice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-13-139mp-900.webp) ![Golden-brown pork belly and potato slices](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-14-rja17-900.webp) ![A piece of pork belly topped with grilled potato and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-15-3pyf9-900.webp) No difference between the black pork belly and regular pork belly, both were delicious — the fat was savory, the meat was juicy, and it was great even just dipped in salt. The minari was fragrant too haha. Like the description said, the combo of grilled potato + pork belly + minari + pickles was also really tasty..👍 ![Cham Dwaejitgan pork belly dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-16-k1rmq-900.webp) ![Meat, minari, and pickles on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-17-18l2v-900.webp) ![Close-up of Cham Dwaejitgan black pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-18-1fjce-900.webp) ![Grilled potato, pork belly, and minari combo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-19-6unw9-m-900.webp) Since there were two of us, we had to order 3 servings' worth(?), so we added pork jowl. Need I say more — it was springy, just fatty enough, and really delicious. ![Extra order of pork jowl at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-20-1livy-m-900.webp) ![Pork jowl cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-21-12g7r-900.webp) We simply ordered one bottle of beer, but they thoughtfully brought milk thistle along with it haha. ![A bottle of beer served with milk thistle](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-22-1o8g7-900.webp) ![Beer and a full spread of meat at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-23-3itjv-900.webp) ### Finishing the meal with fried rice We left a bit of pork jowl to stir-fry together with the fried rice! The fried rice itself wasn't heavily seasoned, so it was actually nice and mild haha. If it's a bit bland for you, adding ssamjang would work well too! ![Fried rice stir-fried with leftover pork jowl at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house-24-ge0mn-900.webp) This is exactly why we saved a bit of pork jowl..haha. Personally, every pork menu item was delicious, but the plain pork belly itself was good enough that I felt like I could just order that alone next time. That's how good the meat is here! ## Is Cham Dwaejitgan worth the wait? If you're looking for a good pork belly restaurant near Jongno3-ga, how about Cham Dwaejitgan! Since it's aged pork, it's tender and full of juice, and since the staff grills it for you, you can enjoy delicious meat without any hassle. I recommend Cham Dwaejitgan for a Jongno3-ga meat dinner! ## Where it is - Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch (참돼짓간 종로본점) - 1 Donhwamun-ro 5ga-gil, 1F CGV Theater, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Donui-dong 137) - 서울특별시 종로구 돈화문로5가길 1 피카디리 cgv극장 1층 1-89호 - 37.5710346, 126.9912405 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B0%B8%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%93%EA%B0%84%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5710346,126.9912405,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@open-chair-seoul/jongno-samgyeopsal-charm-pig-house/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
