Three of us women went together, and since the staff grill the pork belly for you, I could eat comfortably the whole time. No conversation getting cut off because someone had to flip the meat, no worrying about it burning — I could just focus on catching up with friends I hadn't seen in a while over a relaxed dinner. If you're looking for a Korean BBQ spot in Osong, this one's worth keeping in mind. ![Storefront view of Pork by Man's Grill, a Korean BBQ restaurant in Osong](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-01-1ybfw-1200.webp) ## What is Pork by Man's Grill like at 6pm? We arrived at 6pm and the place was really busy. Tables were nearly all full, and I saw a lot of families having dinner too. Families with young kids especially stood out. You'd expect a Korean BBQ place to feel loud and chaotic, but seeing families eating comfortably gave me the impression this is a spot you could bring kids to without much stress. Choosing Pork by Man's Grill for a good meal in Osong was a solid call!! ![Interior of the Korean BBQ restaurant packed with evening diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-02-1r1di-900.webp) ## Why Pork by Man's Grill is easy for three women The best part of the night was, again, that staff grill the meat for you. The three of us didn't have to put the meat on, flip it, or check how done it was — the staff did all of that, and it was such a relief. Managing the grill is usually the most annoying part of eating BBQ, and not having to think about it meant we could focus on the meal. Since this was a rare chance to catch up with friends while I was traveling for work, this kind of service felt even more welcome. ![A staff member grilling meat on the tabletop grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-03-1cjnx-900.webp) ![Pork cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-04-qecwf-900.webp) ## Thoughtful table service from the staff The staff were mostly young, and they were really attentive to what we needed. When we started sharing the meat, they brought over extra plates for splitting food without us even having to ask. It's a small thing, but as a diner it felt really convenient and thoughtful. Even during a busy evening rush, they anticipated what we needed, which made it clear they were paying close attention to customers. ![Table set up with plates for sharing food](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-05-4wauu-900.webp) ## What comes in the 2-3 person set: pork jowl, neck and belly We ordered the 2-3 person set. When you're dining with a group, it's easier to pick a set that lets you try a variety of cuts rather than ordering everything separately. The set came with pork jowl, neck, and belly, so we got to try all three cuts. Even though it's all pork, the texture and flavor differ from cut to cut, so it was fun tasting each one. For the three of us, the portion was also easy to share, so it felt like a no-pressure order. ![2-3 person set plate with pork jowl, neck, and belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-06-4qiho-900.webp) ### Golden-brown pork belly, the classic staple The pork belly turned golden-brown on the grill with a savory aroma rising off it — as the go-to grilled pork cut, it was familiar and delicious. Best of all, since the staff grilled it for us, we got to eat it right when it was at its best. Not having to worry about grilling timing let the conversation flow naturally, and I thought it would be especially convenient for a group of women dining together. ![Golden-brown grilled pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-07-gz4zd-900.webp) ### How the pork jowl and neck taste The pork jowl had a distinct chewy texture, giving a different feel than the belly, while the neck was light and clean-tasting. Eating all three cuts at once was more fun than sticking to just one — you could pick whichever suited your mood. For a group of three like us, the 2-3 person set for sharing multiple cuts, with the option to add more if something runs out, seems like a good approach. ![Grilled pork jowl and neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-08-oei9q-900.webp) ## Best side to add: the signature steamed egg It felt like a waste to order only meat, so we also got the signature steamed egg (gyeranjjim). When eating meat, having one soft dish to break things up keeps the meal flowing nicely, and the steamed egg played that role. It worked well both eaten alongside the meat or as a little palate change. If you're dining with a group, adding a side like this on top of the meat dishes seems like a good idea. ![The signature steamed egg we ordered alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-09-yxusx-900.webp) ### Bibim yeolmu noodles that pair well with the pork One of the combinations I remember most from that night was the spicy-sour yeolmu noodles (bibim yeolmu guksu, young radish greens noodles). Eating meat continuously can get a bit heavy, but the spicy, tangy, cool yeolmu noodles cleaned up the palate nicely. Eating a well-grilled piece of pork belly together with a bite of the yeolmu noodles was especially good — the savoriness of the meat and the spicy kick of the noodles complemented each other, and I kept reaching for more between bites of meat. ![A bowl of spicy-sour yeolmu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-10-1ek3o-900.webp) ![Table spread with pork belly and yeolmu noodles eaten together](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-11-1tr19-900.webp) ## An Osong Korean BBQ restaurant popular with families Looking around while we ate, I saw a lot of families. Quite a few had young children with them, and the place felt lively with diners during the evening. Having staff grill the meat seems convenient for families too, since it takes away the hassle of grilling while also looking after kids. For friends dining together like us, it means being able to focus on conversation, and for families, it seems to give a bit more ease during the meal. ![Lively view of the restaurant's dining hall during the evening rush](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-12-354sh-900.webp) ![Table set with meat and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-13-1d1r2-900.webp) ## When Pork by Man's Grill is worth a trip What I liked most about dinner at Pork by Man's Grill was how comfortable the whole meal was. The 2-3 person set let us try pork jowl, neck, and belly, and ordering the signature steamed egg and yeolmu noodles alongside made it a great fit for three people — with staff grilling the meat, we could eat at a relaxed pace while chatting. The thoughtful service from the young staff, who brought extra plates without being asked, also stuck with me. Tables were nearly full during the evening, and I saw a lot of families, which gave off the feeling that this is a popular spot for people looking for a meat dinner in Osong. It was a stop I made with friends on a day I had a work trip, and I got to enjoy good meat and comfortable conversation, ending the evening on a good note. If you're looking for a good Korean BBQ spot in Osong and want to eat comfortably without the hassle of grilling it yourself, it's worth trying out the meat grilled by the staff at Pork by Man's Grill. ![Entrance to the Osong branch of Pork by Man's Grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-14-1hiu6-900.webp) ![Exterior of the second-floor Korean BBQ restaurant on Osongsaengmyeong-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner-15-1eufd-900.webp) ## Where it is - Pork by Man's Grill (포크바이맨스그릴) - 166 Osongsaengmyeong-ro, 2F, Osong-eup, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea - 충청북도 청주시 흥덕구 오송읍 오송생명로 166 2층 - 36.6318975, 127.3274685 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8F%AC%ED%81%AC%EB%B0%94%EC%9D%B4%EB%A7%A8%EC%8A%A4%EA%B7%B8%EB%A6%B4/@36.6318975,127.3274685,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@plate-compact/pork-by-mans-grill-osong-womens-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
