On a weekend evening, two diners waited about 15 minutes, then ordered two servings of pork belly, one serving of pork jowl and two bowls of rice, with kimchi stew and steamed egg served free. For two people, adding pork jowl to the pork belly kept the meal from getting repetitive and left them full. ## Good to know - **Address**: 73 Garam-ro, 1st Floor, Unit 103, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Sun 16:00–23:00 / Mon–Wed 17:00–23:00 / Thu–Sat 16:00–23:00 (Chuseok holiday schedule) - **Last order**: 22:00 - **What we ordered**: Pork belly x2, pork jowl x1, rice x2, Zero Coke x1 - **Complimentary**: Kimchi stew, steamed egg - **Wait**: About 15 minutes on a weekend evening - **Parking**: Lot behind the restaurant was full; used nearby public street parking - **Amenities**: Takeout, reservations, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, high chairs, mobile payment *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Main photo of charcoal-grilled pork belly at Tannae Paju Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-01-1pe6t-1200.webp) Hey everyone!

Let me share exactly what we ordered as a couple, plus an honest review :) ![Entrance of Tannae Paju Main Branch during the wait](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-03-1gm8d-900.webp) *We waited about 15 minutes.* ## Where is Tannae Paju Main Branch, and what are the hours and parking? Tannae Paju Main Branch is a charcoal-grilled pork barbecue restaurant located at 73 Garam-ro, 1st Floor, Unit 103, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do. We went on a weekend evening and waited about 15 minutes. - Hours - Sunday 16:00–23:00 / Mon–Wed 17:00–23:00 / Thu–Sat 16:00–23:00 (Chuseok holiday schedule) - Last order 22:00 - Parking / takeout / reservations / Wi-Fi available - Separate men's and women's restrooms / high chairs / mobile payment available ※ They said it's best to call ahead if you're visiting after 10 PM. For parking, we used the nearby public street parking — I remember it wasn't expensive at all. There is a lot behind the restaurant, but it was full 🫠 ![A dish of salted anchovy sauce placed over the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-04-1w08k-900.webp) *They put the charcoal in and set salted anchovy sauce on top.* ![Sauce plates served alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-05-1s5tv-900.webp) *The sauces* ![Basic side dishes served at Tannae Paju Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-06-klwzj-966.webp) The basic table setting. ## What two people ordered at Tannae ![Menu board at Tannae Paju Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-07-5pucf-966.webp) *Here's the menu for reference!* - Pork belly x2 servings - Pork jowl x1 serving - Rice x2 bowls - Zero Coke x1 And kimchi stew + steamed egg came out as free extras! Since there were two of us, just pork belly felt like it might not be enough, so we added a serving of pork jowl too — and in the end, it turned out to be a great call haha. These days you usually only get a single can of soda for writing a review, so getting a whole stew and steamed egg as a freebie — is this real life?! ## Two servings of pork belly grilled over charcoal ![Two servings of pork belly on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-08-omjoi-900.webp) *This is 2 servings* Of course, pork belly is the first thing you reach for at a BBQ place! Grilled golden brown on the grate, one bite gave a proper, savory flavor. ![Pork belly grilling over the charcoal grate](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-09-1kvy2-966.webp) Great wrapped in lettuce, and just as good eaten plain — the kind of flavor that keeps your chopsticks coming back without feeling heavy. ![A golden-brown piece of grilled pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-10-15ty2-966.webp) ![Pork belly served with lettuce wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-11-uloj7-966.webp) ![Pork belly cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-12-1vvsq-966.webp) ![Close-up of charcoal-grilled pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-13-9ds27-966.webp) My boyfriend and I kept saying "pork belly really is the best kind of meat~" while happily grilling away together haha. ![Meat being pre-grilled](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-14-1q4k4-m-966.webp) *Pre-grilling in progress~* ## One serving of pork jowl: how does it differ from pork belly? ![A serving of pork jowl on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-15-2ymz8-966.webp) While eating pork belly, we tried the pork jowl too, and I loved the chewy yet savory texture. ![Pork jowl grilling on the grate](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-16-10sq2-966.webp) ![Grilled pork jowl with a chewy texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-17-1rakb-966.webp) It has a totally different charm from the pork belly, so switching between the two kept things from getting boring. ![Pork belly and pork jowl grilling together on the grate](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-18-7rlx6-966.webp) ![A perfectly grilled piece of meat ready to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-19-vawrl-966.webp) 👉 Highly recommend the pork belly + pork jowl combo!★ ## The free kimchi stew and steamed egg ![The complimentary kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-20-nz9kj-966.webp) ![The complimentary steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-21-nu7ti-966.webp) ![Kimchi stew and steamed egg set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-22-19ka1-966.webp) After ordering the meat, kimchi stew and steamed egg came out for free. ![A bowl of rice served alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-23-17fon-966.webp) *Gotta eat rice with it~* Taking a break from the meat for a spoonful of spicy kimchi stew with rice — truly, Koreans run on rice-power... 😂 The steamed egg was soft and nice to eat between bites of meat, and by the time we'd finished two bowls of rice, it had become a pretty filling meal for the two of us. More than filling — we nearly burst haha. With a Zero Coke on the side, it was the perfect weekend date dinner! I wanted a beer, but since we were driving... had to pass..... blame the car (?) ![Self-serve bar at Tannae Paju Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal-24-tdou6-966.webp) *This is the self-serve bar.* ## Final verdict on Tannae Paju Main Branch On a weekend date in Paju with my boyfriend, we ate a hearty pork belly + pork jowl combo at Tannae Paju Main Branch. It wasn't just the meat — the free kimchi stew and steamed egg made it even better paired with rice. If you're visiting as a couple like we did, I'd recommend two servings of pork belly plus one added serving of pork jowl. I was tempted by the pork ribs too, haha! If you're on a date in Paju and today's the day you say "let's eat meat!" — try the pork belly and pork jowl combo like we did 🤍 ## Where it is - Tannae Paju Main Branch (탄내 파주본점) - 73 Garam-ro, 1st Floor, Unit 103, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 파주시 가람로 73 1층 103호 - 37.7351514, 126.7578806 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%83%84%EB%82%B4%20%ED%8C%8C%EC%A3%BC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.7351514,126.7578806,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@osan-late-noodle/tannae-paju-weekend-date-samgyeopsal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
