Visiting on an open run in September, the writer tried medium-spice tomato-jang pork belly at ₩20,000 per serving, crispy potato pancake, and stone-pot pollack roe fried rice, with staff slicing the meat and torching it for extra smoky flavor. It flipped the assumption that a creek view means overpriced food, and a return visit is on the cards. ## Good to know - **Address**: 142 Surero 661beon-gil, Wabu-eup, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - **Hours**: Open daily 11:00–21:00 (Mondays close at 20:30) - **Break time**: 15:30–17:00 - **Parking**: Dedicated lot on-site; free public parking nearby - **Tomato-jang pork belly**: ₩20,000 per serving (cheese+pork belly or pork belly only) - **Crispy potato pancake**: ₩25,000 - **Payment**: Kiosk ordering, pay after eating - **Reservations**: Available via Catch Table; no orders before opening - **Notes**: Dog-friendly; 20% off drinks at the café next door with receipt *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* 2002 Witch's Arpeggio is a dog-friendly restaurant with a creek view, known for its aged tomato-jang pork belly. I'll admit I was secretly surprised at how good it was. ![Exterior of 2002 Witch's Arpeggio, a dog-friendly restaurant with a creek view](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-01-1b87j-1200.webp) - 📍Address: 142 Surero 661beon-gil, Wabu-eup, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - ⏰Hours: Open daily Mon–Sun 11:00–21:00 / Break time 15:30–17:00 (*Mondays close at 20:30) - 🚗Parking: Dedicated lot on-site, free public parking nearby - *Dog-friendly - *20% off at the café next door after your meal ## Finally hitting the creek in September, a dog-friendly restaurant in Namyangju Hi, this is Rittle. 🚗🚗 When the weather softens up, I'm the type who just grabs the car keys and goes wherever without a second thought. In summer, even a creek trip never really felt cool enough, so I held off until September finally arrived. Eating at 2002 Witch's Arpeggio, a dog-friendly restaurant in Namyangju that's perfect for this kind of weather, while listening to the cool sound of water and actually seeing the waterfall with my own eyes — the heat just melted away. ![Creek and waterfall view seen from the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-02-1yy7e-550.webp) ## Parking, the opening-run rush, and creekside seats filling up fast You can use the restaurant's own parking lot — all the nearby lots are public anyway, so just park wherever's convenient. When I visited, there was some grass-cutting going on, so I parked safely right in front of the restaurant. ![Dedicated parking space in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-03-9h5qz-550.webp) Opening time is 11am, but even if you arrive early, orders aren't taken before then — and reservations through Catch Table are possible too, so keep that in mind. I did an opening run, but by the time I was leaving, the creekside seats were already completely full :) ![Outdoor tables facing the creek](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-04-1h7w8-550.webp) ![Outdoor seats empty right after opening](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-05-1hrk5-550.webp) ![Outdoor grill table facing the creek](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-06-1x79q-550.webp) ![Outdoor seating with the surrounding creek scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-07-1jnx0-550.webp) ### Outdoor seats if you've got a dog, indoors if it's hot If you're visiting with a dog, I'd recommend the outdoor seating — you can park a stroller there too, and looking around, most people had brought strollers, making for a comfortable meal. I liked that the air conditioning was on inside, so you can eat comfortably in the cool. It's not a private room, but there's a semi-private space set up inside too. ![Air-conditioned indoor seating with a semi-private space](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-08-t0jl7-550.webp) ## 48-hour aged tomato-jang pork belly, medium spice Ordering is done via kiosk, and it's pay-after-you-eat, which made it easy to add more along the way. The most famous item on the menu is the tomato-aged pork belly. ![Fresh tomatoes used as the base for the sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-09-qzhqb-550.webp) Fresh tomatoes placed all around the restaurant turned out to be the actual base of the sauce. 25 years of research and a 48-hour aging process — it's a menu item packed with real effort. 🍅🍅 I was curious how it would taste since it's not the usual gochujang pork belly but a tomato-based sauce — just trust it and order it :) Between cheese+pork belly and plain pork belly, I picked the basic pork belly! It was ₩20,000 for one serving. ![Raw tomato-jang pork belly set, ₩20,000 per serving](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-10-1yhmx-550.webp) You can also choose your spice level. We figured cheese would suit something closer to buldak-level heat, so we went with medium spice, and it hit the spot perfectly. Tomato plus spicy actually works surprisingly well together. ![Medium-spice tomato-marinated pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-11-3tz8m-550.webp) ## Side dish: crispy potato pancake, ₩25,000 For a side, we ordered the crispy potato pancake — if you're a fan of thick-cut kettle potato chips, just order it, no questions asked. I'd never had a potato pancake this crispy before, and I was won over. It was ₩25,000. ![Crispy potato pancake side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-12-7ezwr-550.webp) For drinks, there's zero-sugar cola, regular cola, and a full range of alcohol, plus I was curious about the house-made makgeolli :) The pollack roe fried rice, currently part of a review event, should be ordered at the end of your meal. ![Drinks and alcohol menu including house-made makgeolli](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-13-8uztc-550.webp) ## Basic side dishes, self-serve bar, and tomato kimchi The basic side dish spread came out generously, and since I was told the japchae (glass noodle stir-fry) is best eaten warm, I dug in right away. It tasted like the japchae we all know, so it's the kind of dish everyone can enjoy. ![Warm japchae served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-14-1v0zw-550.webp) The tomato kimchi is also made in-house, and with cheongyang chili peppers mixed in, it had that charming refreshing-yet-sharp taste. ![House-made tomato kimchi with cheongyang chili peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-15-os0ij-550.webp) If you need a refill on the wheat crepes, just ask a staff member, and everything else is self-serve at the bar. Honestly, I had this bias that a creekside restaurant would just mean paying extra for the view, but Arpeggio changed my mind. The owner is kind, and being able to fill up as much as you want at the self-serve bar made for a really filling meal. ## Staff sliced it for us and even added smoky flavor with a torch Here's today's star, the tomato-jang pork belly, fully soaked in the sauce. A staff member sliced it for us themselves, checked the doneness, and told us the perfect moment to eat it, which made things really easy. ![Tomato-jang pork belly grilled and sliced by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-16-kphgo-550.webp) At the end, they torched it for extra smoky flavor, so there was no way it wasn't delicious. Leave a little of the mung bean sprouts piled on top aside — adding them to the pollack roe fried rice at the end makes it even tastier. ![Pork belly and mung bean sprouts finished with a torch for smoky flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-17-8bx28-550.webp) Following the proper way to enjoy pork belly step by step, I could enjoy it even more. ![A piece of pork belly eaten in the proper order](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-18-dfbq8-550.webp) Gochujang-based sauces can sometimes taste a bit heavy, but with the tomato base you'd never guess unless someone told you — the aroma isn't overpowering, it's just simply delicious. ![Pork belly served with wheat crepes and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-19-yvw5r-550.webp) The crispy potato pancake felt like eating fried potato in pancake form, with a satisfying ASMR-like crunch. Needless to say, we couldn't stop eating it, and I thought it would've been even better with some ketchup. ![Cross-section of the crispy potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-20-w7q7d-550.webp) ![A piece of crispy potato pancake picked up](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-21-1tlj1-550.webp) ## Finishing with stone-pot pollack roe fried rice For the stone-pot pollack roe fried rice, when you order it at the end, they clear the grill plate and place it on top. Wait until the hourglass runs out, then mix it up and dig in. ![Stone-pot pollack roe fried rice served with an hourglass timer](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-22-12hpy-550.webp) The crispy scorched rice and the pop of pollack roe went really well together, and wrapping it in seaweed made it even better. ![Pollack roe scorched rice wrapped in seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-23-m5kon-550.webp) ### Paying and a 20% discount at the café next door After you finish eating, take your bill to the counter to pay. Show your receipt at the café next door and you can enjoy drinks at 20% off, so keep that in mind :) ![Creek view at 2002 Witch's Arpeggio after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly-24-15ngf-550.webp) The tomato-jang pork belly was unexpectedly delicious, and I'd definitely go back to 2002 Witch's Arpeggio. ## Where it is - 2002 Witch's Arpeggio (2002 마녀의 아르페지오) - 142 Surero 661beon-gil, Wabu-eup, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 남양주시 와부읍 수레로661번길 142 - 37.6220965, 127.2636562 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/2002%20%EB%A7%88%EB%85%80%EC%9D%98%20%EC%95%84%EB%A5%B4%ED%8E%98%EC%A7%80%EC%98%A4/@37.6220965,127.2636562,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-doorway-2/namyangju-valley-view-tomato-pork-belly/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
