## In short

Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal (이쪽 김치삼겹살) is a Korean BBQ restaurant in a basement space off Dongmak-ro near Hapjeong Station in Mapo, Seoul, grilling Dodram Hanpork sow meat. Arriving just past 5pm on a weekend as the first customer, the writer ordered the 2–3 person set (two servings of fresh pork belly, one whole pork jowl, steamed egg and doenjang jjigae) for 55,000 won, and Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal was nearly full by 6pm. A few chewy bits in the pork belly aside, the aged kimchi grilled alongside the jowl, the large earthenware steamed egg and the free power bank loan made the meal a satisfying one.

## Parking at Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal near Hapjeong Station

Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal, a Korean BBQ spot near Hapjeong Station! It uses Dodram Korean female pork, so you know you can trust the meat 🐖 It's tucked in an alley with no dedicated parking, so we looked around on an app and found a cheap paid lot instead (a place called Youngchang Parking, in the Hapjeong back alleys — small, but cheap).

## First customer at 5pm on a weekend, nearly full by 6pm

We visited just after 5pm on a weekend and we were the first customers — by 6pm the place was almost fully booked 😳 It said basement level, which worried me a bit, but it turned out to be like a semi-ground floor, so that was a relief. If you go down about half a flight further,

there's another set of tables down here! Cozy and a really interesting layout. The restaurant also didn't have that typical greasy meat-shop smell, which I liked. By 6pm there were reservation-only tables downstairs, so it looks like you can book ahead 🧚🏻‍♀️ I'd recommend reserving if you're coming after 6.

A go-to spot near Hapjeong Station for group dinners — even famous comedians come here for their staff dinners 💗

This looks like a spot to stash your bag so it doesn't get oil splattered on it. There wasn't any signage explaining it, which was a bit of a shame — I only figured it out by watching the table next to us use it 🥵 I remember there being about 3-4 slots.

## What comes in the 55,000 won 2–3 person set

They have everything from set menus to full meal courses! There's a full-meal menu too, so it seems like a good spot to visit for lunch as well. We ordered the 2-3 person set: fresh pork belly x2 + whole pork jowl x1 + steamed egg + doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) = ₩55,000! Three servings of meat plus two side dishes — amazing value. Highly recommend the set menu 💗

The grill plate was exactly my type of grill — perfect for grilling kimchi and garlic. They even had the good sense to add a splash guard so oil doesn't fly everywhere ✨

### Side dishes: wrap greens, scallion salad and pickled bean sprouts

The basic side dishes were lettuce wraps, scallion salad, and bean sprout pickle, which tasted like the pickled onion side you usually get at BBQ restaurants. But since it's bean sprouts instead of onion, the crunchy texture combo was exactly my style. It cuts right through the greasiness of the pork belly 🔥🔥

## Grilled aged kimchi with the pork belly and whole pork jowl

The color of the meat and the fat ratio were both satisfying 🍀 I don't like too much fat because it gets greasy, so this ratio was just right. Anyone with the same taste as me out there~

As long as they're not too busy, the staff grill the meat for you, which is nice. First they oil the grill with some fat, then lay down the well-cooked aged kimchi (mukeunji) — that kimchi is the real kicker 🤤 Because of that kimchi I really wanted to order the fried rice too, but I was too full and had to give it up. So disappointing...

My beloved potatoes and mushrooms, sizzling away too ~~ 🥔🍄

The pork belly had some chewy parts, so the score-cut pork jowl, tender and grilled beautifully, ended up being even tastier 🤗 The kimchi was so well-fermented, sweet and tangy and delicious. Eating it together with the bean sprout pickle is the best! The golden-brown potatoes and mushrooms were genuinely amazing too.

![A piece of grilled meat with wasabi and salt on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-kimchi-samgyeopsal-weekend-five/hapjeong-kimchi-samgyeopsal-weekend-five-15-5oeej-900.webp)

It's delicious with just a dab of wasabi, and just as good dipped in salt, but if you're Korean, isn't a lettuce wrap with meat, ssamjang, and aged kimchi always the winner 🥇 A familiar flavor that never fails you.

### A big earthenware steamed egg and a chunky doenjang jjigae

The steamed egg didn't come out in the small pot you usually get at BBQ places — it came in a big earthenware pot, which I loved 🐥 Truly fluffy and soft.

So many BBQ places these days serve mediocre doenjang jjigae, but this one was clean-tasting and made me crave rice 🍚🍚 It even had lots of ingredients in it, so I was very satisfied.

## Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal even lends out power banks

When I asked to charge my phone, instead of just taking it behind the counter, they had a full portable-charger lending service — perfect 🐥 The pork belly had a slightly chewy part which was a bit of a letdown, but the pork jowl was savory and tender and delicious, so overall I was satisfied. The kimchi grilled alongside the meat was especially a thumbs-up 👍🏻 it paired perfectly with the meat, and overall it was a great meal. Definitely coming back!
