Pork belly for two after work near Uijeongbu Station: Cheonpo Hoegwan

Cheonpo Hoegwan Uijeongbu Main Branch is a minari (water celery) pork belly restaurant a 5 to 10-minute walk from Uijeongbu Station in Gyeonggi. Meeting a friend after work, the writer ordered two servings of pork belly and one serving of beef rolls, and filled the wait with the complimentary beef tartare and the kimchi pancake batter you fry yourself. Since the pork belly is grilled with minari, roasted kimchi and green onion salad piled on top, Cheonpo Hoegwan is a solid choice if you want minari pork belly in Uijeongbu.

Chuseok rush at Uijeongbu chicken shop Dalgom's: fried rice cakes

Dalgom's is a takeout dakgangjeong (Korean sweet crispy fried chicken) shop inside Jeil Market in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi. Ahead of Chuseok, with the market packed and a wait to order, this visit picked up the 1.5-chicken set in three flavors — garlic soy, sweet, and spicy garlic — plus fried rice cakes, and the chicken came out crisp outside, juicy inside, with a good balance across the three. Portions at Dalgom's are generous in true market style, making it an easy pick for sharing with family.
