Four pork cuts for two on one plate: Seongsan Jejutgan Jeonju

This is a story about Seongsan Jejutgan Jeonju Sin-sigaeji, a Korean BBQ restaurant near Jeonbuk Provincial Office in Hyoja-dong, Jeonju.

A bite of meat tasted at a jejutgan — that single mouthful carries Jeju within it.

A day we wanted to try several cuts for two

On a day when two of us wanted to enjoy plenty of different pork cuts near Jeonbuk Provincial Office in Hyoja-dong, Jeonju, we headed to Seongsan Jejutgan Jeonju Sin-sigaeji. We ordered the Aewol Han-geun 2-3 person set and shared the 600g portion between us. Rather than picking just one cut, we could taste our way through teokmoksal (premium neck meat), pork jowl, pork skirt meat, and raw ribs in turn — a menu worth keeping in mind when looking for a Korean BBQ restaurant in Jeonju Sin-sigaeji.

Location and atmosphere at Seongsan Jejutgan Jeonju Sin-sigaeji

Seongsan Jejutgan Jeonju Sin-sigaeji is located on the 1st floor of the Kolon Building, 69-9 Hongsanbuk-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk State. It's easy to reach from Jeonbuk Provincial Office and the main Jeonju Sin-sigaeji commercial district, which makes it a satisfying choice for dinner after work or a gathering spot. With comfortable seating and a pleasant atmosphere suited to company dinners, get-togethers, family meals, and dates alike, Seongsan Jejutgan Jeonju Sin-sigaeji apparently reopened as a renewed version of the original jejutgan, refocused more purely on the meat itself. What stood out was hearing that even the skin portion of the pork belly is aged, aiming for a texture that's chewy on the outside and juicy inside. From the moment the meat started cooking on the grill, you could feel the difference in aroma and juiciness. Here's a closer look at what we ordered.

Aewol Han-geun 2-3 person set, 600g for ₩49,800

The Aewol Han-geun 2-3 person set is 600g for ₩49,800. According to the menu, it includes dotjumeok-gui (teokmoksal, premium neck cut), thousand-layer pork jowl, pork skirt meat, and raw ribs, all on one plate. The set also comes with a choice of kimchi hot pot or pork belly skin. Being able to alternate between different textures and flavors within a single set meant the meal never felt monotonous, even with just the two of us.

The four cuts

First, the dotjumeok-gui is labeled teokmoksal, so it's worth a look for anyone who likes a thick cut of pork neck. The thousand-layer pork jowl promised a savory flavor, the pork skirt meat a different kind of texture altogether, and the raw ribs a clean, straightforward pork taste. Grilling four different pork cuts on one plate made it fun to naturally compare which cut we each preferred. At 600g, it was plenty for two people to share.

Kimchi hot pot vs. pork skin — which to choose?

Being able to choose between kimchi hot pot and pork belly skin is another perk of this set. It's worth deciding at order time based on whether you'd rather have a warm hot pot alongside the meat, or finish with some chewy pork skin after.

Group seating and amenities

The restaurant offers group seating, reservations, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, and separate men's/women's restrooms, with group seating available for anywhere from 4 to 80 people. That makes it a good option not just for a two-person dinner in Hyoja-dong, but also as a reference point for group dinners in Jeonju Sin-sigaeji. If you're looking for samgyeopsal (pork belly) near Jeonbuk Provincial Office, being able to enjoy several cuts together is a definite plus.

Wrap-up

If you want to load one plate with several pork cuts and eat generously for two in Jeonju Sin-sigaeji, or if you'd like to compare the charms of each cut side by side, Seongsan Jejutgan Jeonju Sin-sigaeji is worth a visit.
