Craving minari (water dropwort) with samgyeopsal, the writer came with her husband and child and ordered cham samgyeopsal with three sides — kudzu cold noodles, steamed egg and kimchi stew — and liked minari topped with mushroom wasabi best.

I'd been singing about wanting minari samgyeopsal for days, so my husband took me to a newly opened place in Dujeong-dong that grills the meat for you — Cham Dwaejitgan in Cheonan.
Cham Dwaejitgan, Dujeong-dong
What pork does Cham Dwaejitgan in Dujeong-dong use?
This Cheonan restaurant known for its staff-grilled BBQ carefully selects only top-quality Jirisan black pork and Boseong green pork, so they say every cut served is top-grade.
The dining room at Cham Dwaejitgan: groups and kids
It's hard to believe it's a BBQ place — there's no smell at all, and the clean, spacious dining room made it easy to chat comfortably while eating. It can seat groups too, so if you're looking for a spot for a work dinner or gathering in Dujeong-dong, this seems like a solid choice. The atmosphere also felt right for a date with friends, family, or a partner — and with staff grilling the meat for you, even better! That's why I'd also recommend it for eating out with a child.
A grill smoked with charcoal and rice husks
That thing next to the charcoal is rice husk — they say using premium charcoal and domestic rice husks to smoke the meat preserves its natural juiciness and deep flavor. Now even more excited for the taste, we started off by ordering the samgyeopsal (pork belly)!
The menu at Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch
The menu at this Dujeong-dong spot includes cham samgyeopsal (Boseong green pork), kkotmoksal (Boseong green pork), Jirisan black pork ogyeopsal, Jirisan black pork moksal, cheonjeopsal (Boseong green pork jowl), gabrisal (Boseong green pork special cut), Jirisan kudzu cold noodles in broth or spicy, kimchi jjigae, doenjang jjigae, steamed egg, fried rice, soy-margarine egg rice, plain rice, plus drinks and alcohol. Here's the pork belly we ordered along with the basic table setting.
How the staff-grilled service works
At Cham Dwaejitgan in Dujeong-dong, staff grill the meat to a perfect, delicious doneness themselves, so eating with a child is comfortable and still tasty. No juggling a kid while trying to grill — you can just relax and eat.
Minari, wraps and the unlimited vegetable self-bar
Minari (water dropwort), scallion salad, garlic scapes, bean sprouts, mushroom wasabi, garlic, chili peppers and other accompaniments — along with fragrant domestic minari — make the meat even more delicious.
Cham Dwaejitgan has a variety of wrap vegetables ready, and every vegetable side dish except minari is unlimited refill from the self-bar!! Minari and sliced potato can be ordered as extras.
Three sides: kudzu cold noodles, steamed egg and kimchi stew
I went to Dujeong-dong for minari samgyeopsal, but the pork belly was so good we ended up ordering a solid lineup of sides too. Cold noodles, steamed egg, kimchi jjigae... haha. Oh, and the kimchi jjigae had really generous chunks in it??!!
The best bite: minari and mushroom wasabi on pork belly
There were plenty of sauces too — ssamjang, spicy sauce, salt, wasabi — so I mixed and matched different combos. My favorite was minari with wasabi pork belly, and for the cold noodles I paired it with the spicy sauce — absolutely amazing!
I'd watch for a moment while they grilled it deliciously, then tend to my kid, and by the time I looked back everything was already grilled — haha. The grilling service at Cham Dwaejitgan in Dujeong-dong is amazing!
Sliced potato with pork belly and aged kimchi
The look of it is insane, right?? And at Cham Dwaejitgan they grill sliced potatoes alongside the meat — this thing is a gem. Grilled potato with pork and aged kimchi piled on top, wow... it deserves applause, honestly.
Amenities and final thoughts on Cham Dwaejitgan
