# Makchang and free jjajangmyeon in Dangye-dong, Wonju: Yeon Makchang - By Yeojeong (https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-stories/) - Written Sep 1, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Wonju, Gangwon - Sponsored: This post was written as part of a paid store-visit sponsorship. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-stories/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@restaurant-stories/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/index.md) ## In short Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch is a lotus-leaf-aged, par-grilled makchang (grilled intestine) restaurant on a roadside near the Wonju bus terminal in Dangye-dong. Over dinner with his son, the writer ordered 2 servings of par-grilled yeon makchang and 1 serving of par-grilled special makchang, dipped them in mulberry makchang sauce, and added a 6,000-won spicy pepper clam hot pot plus the old-style jjajangmyeon given free for a receipt review. Because the makchang arrives par-grilled, the wait at the grill is short, and the side spread at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch is generous enough to call it the best makchang of a lifetime. ## Good to know - **Restaurant**: Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch (66 Cheonsa-ro, 1st floor, Wonju, Gangwon) - **Hours**: Daily 17:00–24:00; opens at 16:00 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - **Order minimum**: First order starts at 3 servings - **What was ordered**: 2 servings of par-grilled yeon makchang + 1 serving of par-grilled special makchang - **Menu lineup**: Par-grilled yeon makchang, par-grilled special makchang, Korean pork chilled samgyeopsal, spicy chicken feet, brisket-and-scallop combo - **Side dish**: Spicy pepper clam hot pot, 6,000 won when added to the first order - **Promotion**: Free old-style jjajangmyeon or yeolmu bibim guksu (cold noodles with young radish) for a receipt review - **Discount**: 10% off for soldiers and expectant mothers - **Self-serve bar**: Wrap vegetables, green onion kimchi and cabbage kimchi, help yourself - **Price reference**: ₩6,000 ≈ $4.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 1, 2026* ![Table setting of par-grilled makchang at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-01-1l56m-900.webp) After a weekend of shopping in Wonju, I took my son to dinner at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch, a well-known spot in Dangye-dong, Wonju. Yeon Makchang, the Dangye-dong go-to these days, is one of the hottest and most loved makchang (grilled beef intestine) brands right now. As someone who really loves makchang, I can honestly call this the makchang of my life — the flavor is special and the menu lineup is generous. Unlike regular makchang, they age the makchang on lotus leaves and par-grill it before serving, so it comes out fast and easy to finish grilling, with no gamey smell and a clean, soft, chewy texture — truly premium stuff. ## Where is Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch, and what are its hours? Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch is on the 1st floor of 66 Cheonsa-ro, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do, open daily from 17:00 to 24:00. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays it opens at 16:00. This Dangye-dong favorite sits along a roadside packed with restaurants near the Wonju bus terminal, making it easy to reach and convenient to drop by. ![Exterior of Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch on a Dangye-dong roadside](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-02-okbn2-900.webp) ![Sign and entrance of Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-03-8wwmj-m-900.webp) Yeon Makchang, currently a completely dominant brand, has appeared on various broadcasts and is recognized by many celebrities. After falling for its charm on my last visit, I've been recommending it to everyone around me and calling it the makchang of a lifetime. ![Entrance notice board with discount event posting](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-04-xm8ve-m-900.webp) You often see soldiers around the Wonju terminal area, and this Dangye-dong favorite is a kind-hearted place running a 10% discount event for soldiers and pregnant guests. Walking inside, even during the early evening there were already plenty of guests enjoying makchang, and not long after, the whole place filled up with people who'd come specifically for Yeon Makchang. ## What's on the menu at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch? The menu at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch starts with the signature par-grilled yeon makchang, followed by par-grilled special makchang, Korean pork cold samgyeopsal, fire chicken feet, and a brisket-and-scallop combo, all reasonably priced. The generous side menu lineup makes the whole meal even tastier and more filling alongside the mains. ![Menu board for par-grilled makchang at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-05-ouip2-900.webp) ![Side menu information at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-06-7n6j2-900.webp) ![Menu board showing side dishes and drinks lineup](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-07-c2sum-900.webp) From the owner to every staff member, this Dangye-dong favorite was kind and quick with service, which made the whole visit comfortable. After ordering 3 servings of makchang (the first order must be at least 3 servings), they quickly set the table with side dishes and sauces that go well with makchang. ![Side dishes and sauces set after ordering 3 servings of makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-08-ed96c-900.webp) ![Basic side dishes and makchang sauce setup](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-09-hf5h1-m-900.webp) ### Wrap vegetables and kimchi from the self-serve bar Anything missing from the basic setup can be picked up freely at the self-serve bar, so we piled our plates generously with lettuce wraps, green onion kimchi, and cabbage kimchi, none of which come in the basic side dish set. ![Lettuce wraps gathered from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-10-hsctz-900.webp) ![Green onion kimchi and cabbage kimchi from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-11-nmjjv-900.webp) ![Table set with wrap vegetables and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-12-1vqkw-900.webp) ![Side dish plates to eat with makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-13-cqa5t-900.webp) ![Plate of par-grilled yeon makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-14-th7nw-900.webp) ## Par-grilled yeon makchang and special makchang: how long do they take on the grill? We ordered 2 servings of par-grilled yeon makchang (the long-shaped makchang) and 1 serving of par-grilled special makchang (the square-shaped one), and the kitchen brought the pre-grilled makchang out very quickly, arranging it neatly on the grill to start finishing it off. ![Par-grilled yeon makchang and special makchang on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-15-zcpnf-900.webp) Grilling makchang myself usually takes a long time and can be a hassle, but at Yeon Makchang it grills up incredibly fast, and anyone can easily get it golden brown and crispy. It was such a relief. ![Golden, well-grilled yeon makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-16-8f0uy-1200.webp) ![Makchang dipped in mulberry makchang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-17-15ioz-900.webp) ![Grilled makchang placed on a lettuce wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-18-cz2si-900.webp) ### What mulberry makchang sauce tastes like Dip the golden, well-grilled makchang into Yeon Makchang's signature mulberry sauce, made with chili, green onion, and perilla leaves, and you get out-of-this-world makchang. It's just as good wrapped in a vegetable leaf, or paired with the spicy gochujang-based sauce. ## Sides at Yeon Makchang: free jjajangmyeon and the 6,000-won clam hot pot One more charm of Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch is how well the side menu pairs with the makchang. Take part in the receipt review event and you get free old-style jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) or yeolmu bibim guksu (cold noodles with radish greens), and if you order the spicy pepper clam hot pot along with your first order, you can enjoy it alongside the makchang for a kind price of just ₩6,000. ![Free old-style jjajangmyeon served as a promotion](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-19-m0t8u-900.webp) ![A bowl of spicy pepper clam hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-20-l3jkm-900.webp) ![Side dishes served alongside the makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-21-b5sp9-900.webp) ![Clam hot pot broth next to the jjajangmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-22-1myq9-900.webp) After filling up on makchang, jjajangmyeon, and hot pot, we grilled the leftover makchang together with rice cakes and finished off perfectly with a smoothie. ![Grill with leftover makchang and rice cakes cooking together](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-23-20myt-900.webp) ![A smoothie enjoyed to close out the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang/wonju-dangye-makchang-side-dishes-yeonmakchang-24-1k5dv-900.webp) Yeon Makchang = makchang of a lifetime.
