It is on the second floor of the old Ojjju building! ![Exterior of Taejang Sikdang Suwon Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-03-gg384-966.webp) You will take responsibility for me not gaining weight, right!?

The atmosphere was absolutely wild. ![1990s-style interior at Taejang Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-05-1yih7-966.webp) Just like the old days~ This is the kind of Suwon Station retro favorite where frozen and fresh pork belly coexist, and where you can soak in memories for a moment. With the analog-TV vibes, Hongchil and I were fully immersed in the nostalgia of Koyote, Lee Hyori, BoA, Shinhwa, Fin.K.L, S.E.S., Jewelry, H.O.T., Sechs Kies, and more. The tables were wide, making the meal so comfortable and pleasant. The ventilation was excellent—huge pass—and the chairs had storage too, another huge pass. Taejang Sikdang near Suwon Station was also perfect for a group get-together or company dinner. Have a team dinner here and you are definitely getting promoted on ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s vibes alone (???). If you are the same age, a date will be 100% successful too. We also looked out over the Suwon Station Rodeo intersection. When the weather is nice, they even open the windows! You get that outdoor-night-drinking vibe near Suwon Station too. The staff wore baseball-uniform-style outfits, so the team spirit looked great—and it was nice to see. ![Retro arcade machine and waiting seats at Taejang Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-06-1c8qf-966.webp) *Childhood World, Adult Hongchil.jpg* You can enjoy the retro arcade machines to your heart’s content, and the thoughtful waiting area and games mean you will not be bored while waiting. ![Taejang Sikdang dining area late on a weekday night](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-07-1gdcd-966.webp) ![Taejang Sikdang interior with diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-08-1ab2z-966.webp) Even while we were eating late on a weekday night, customers kept coming into Taejang Sikdang.

It is a whopping 540 g—almost a geun, the traditional Korean unit! We chose frozen rather than fresh pork belly because it felt more retro, then headed straight for this Suwon Station favorite. Taejang Sikdang’s crazy rebellion! Behold, the rebellious lineup of side dishes: a generous spread of varieties, sauces, and vegetables. ![Frozen pork belly meal with Saero](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-12-1x524-966.webp) All right, are we ready to dig into frozen pork belly with Saero, our family’s go-to soju, again today? Come along, friends. ![Staff grilling frozen pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-13-1mmmu-966.webp) For the first round, a seriously celebrity-level beautiful staff member expertly grills it for you. She is truly so pretty, come see for yourselves♡ I fell for her too. As each slice of frozen pork belly went on the grill, I nearly floated up with them (??), but for safety reasons I will come back down for a moment. This is not ordinary budget frozen pork belly. It is flash-frozen to lock in all the juices: juicy, bursting with flavor, and full of aroma. ![Flash-frozen pork belly on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-14-lvx33-966.webp) ![Frozen pork belly sprinkled with pepper](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-15-8815o-966.webp) The best thing about frozen pork belly: it cooks quickly. And sprinkling on lots of pepper brought back that old-school frozen-pork-belly feeling—so good. ![Side dishes grilled in frozen pork belly fat](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-16-1dpnj-966.webp) They grill the assorted side dishes alongside it too, and the combination of bean sprouts, bracken fern, and aged kimchi sizzling in the pork fat could not possibly be bad!!! The smell of delicious meat filled the air; I was already beyond salivating. We are almost there, but let’s hold onto our last thread of reason for a second. The cooked meat is gently placed over the sides, and now there is only one thing left: eating. Ahh~ This is a place to get immersed in the flavor of frozen pork belly that calls for a drink, and the retro atmosphere. Perilla leaves with shredded scallions… green-onion kimchi combinations… an endless hell of endlessly possible combinations. Once you start eating, the crazy combinations go down like crazy. This really is a Suwon Station frozen pork belly favorite. ![Frozen pork belly with perilla leaves and shredded scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-17-3gjb7-966.webp) ![Frozen pork belly with assorted side-dish combinations](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-18-gmtue-966.webp) It was a distinctive frozen pork belly restaurant where all the combinations kept things interesting and varied. One slight disappointment: for Hongchil’s household’s elementary-school-kid palate, the aged kimchi was too aged and intensely sour. Even grilled, it had not one bit of sweetness… it was just old…. A shame, but we enjoyed it with the other sides. It is okay, because new side dishes were still waiting for us. This soy sauce with marinated egg yolk was especially the kick: its lightly tangy, sweet-salty flavor and rich yolk came together for a bit of a sukiyaki-like feeling. ![Marinated egg-yolk soy sauce with frozen pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-19-19bj8-966.webp) A drink simply had to happen, so we kept enjoying it with Saero. ![Frozen pork belly meal with Saero](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-20-1vn0n-966.webp) ## Finishing with mul naengmyeon and Taejang fried rice Mul naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles in broth), ₩6,000. After devouring frozen pork belly like crazy, only the Korean dessert palate cleanser remained. Our mul naengmyeon fanatic Hongchiri will conduct a totally-not-an-evaluation evaluation. The noodles were springy and properly cooked without going soft, the broth had just the right amount of ice slush, and it came generously topped with radish kimchi and egg. The mul naengmyeon passed perfectly too. ![Mul naengmyeon at Taejang Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-21-1likk-966.webp) ![Mul naengmyeon with icy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-22-1odud-966.webp) The flower of Korean dessert and Taejang’s final boss: Taejang fried rice, ₩4,000. It is okay if you did not leave any meat or sides—there is already plenty of pork and kimchi in it. Order it and fluffy, well-fried Taejang fried rice arrives on a hot iron plate. They say it is made with a one-of-a-kind secret recipe born after months of research! Hongchiri is making a heart artwork to express his feelings again. But unlike his heart, the impatient Hongsun goes straight in with her spoon. Instinct: protected at all costs. You absolutely have to order the Taejang fried rice. With plenty of pork belly in the special sauce, it was truly the final boss of Korean dessert. ![Taejang fried rice on an iron plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-23-1f3on-966.webp) ![Taejang fried rice with scorched rice crust](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/suwon-retro-pork-taejang-24-1kcjh-966.webp) Once you get that scorched rice crust with the independently developed secret sauce and special cooking recipe, Taejang fried rice tastes like heaven! Please try it at least once. It was clearly very different from an ordinary frozen pork belly restaurant, and we enjoyed a delicious, generous, great-value meal at Taejang Sikdang near Suwon Station. Hongchil’s household recommends it as a place we will definitely visit again and again!! ## Where it is - Taejang Sikdang Suwon Station Branch (태장식당 수원역점) - 23 Hyanggyo-ro, 2F, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 수원시 팔달구 향교로 23 2층) - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 향교로 23 2층 - 37.2684706, 127.0035865 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%83%9C%EC%9E%A5%EC%8B%9D%EB%8B%B9%20%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.2684706,127.0035865,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@quiet-meal-hours/suwon-retro-pork-taejang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
