On a Friday evening the writer and her husband ordered two servings of pork neck (mokssal) and one of pork jowl (hangjeongsal), and the staff grilled kimchi, bean sprouts and minari alongside the meat before the meal ended with fried rice. The direct walk from the station and the staff-grilled service made Cham Dwaejitgan a satisfying couple's dinner. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 12:00–23:00 - **Location**: Jongno3-ga Station Exit 2-1, 1st floor of CGV Piccadilly - **Groups**: Welcome - **What we ordered**: Pork neck (mokssal) x2, pork jowl (hangjeongsal) x1 - **Waiting**: Remote queuing through CatchTable - **Self-serve bar**: Unlimited lettuce and perilla leaves *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* On Friday evenings Jongno3-ga gets really crowded, so I usually pick a dinner spot in advance!!

Head toward Exit 2-1 of Jongno3-ga Station and you'll reach CGV Piccadilly — take the stairs up and once you're outside, the restaurant is right there next door! It's basically connected to the station, so even on my first visit I found it without any trouble. ![Entrance of Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch next to CGV Piccadilly](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-02-11bc8-966.webp) ## How long is the Friday evening wait at Cham Dwaejitgan? Being Friday evening, there were of course a lot of customers. I figured we'd have a long wait if we just showed up, so I put our names on the remote queue through CatchTable. I expected a long wait given how busy it was, but a table opened up sooner than expected, so we got seated without much of a wait at all~! ![Interior seating at Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-03-3g77h-966.webp) ![Busy dining hall at Cham Dwaejitgan on a Friday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-04-2lomc-966.webp) ![Table and grill at Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-05-ni3in-966.webp) ![Interior view of Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-06-1lo3h-966.webp) ![Seating and walkway at Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-07-1l01c-966.webp) ![Menu display at Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-08-1vve5-966.webp) ![Meat menu board at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-09-1ukl0-966.webp) ## Ordering two servings of pork neck and one of pork jowl What we ordered that day was two servings of pork neck (mokssal) and one of pork jowl (hangjeongsal) — three servings total! Pork raised on Boseong green tea..! I was already looking forward to it haha ![Plate of raw pork neck and pork jowl ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-10-b0yra-966.webp) ![Pork neck from pigs fed Boseong green tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-11-19yrg-966.webp) The side dishes and dipping sauces were varied and great too. So many things to dip the meat in — happiness!! ![Side dishes and dipping sauces at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-12-184ev-966.webp) ![Plate of various dipping sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-13-179sy-966.webp) The table set up like this~~~~~ pretty, right ![Table set with meat and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-14-ktup0-966.webp) A BBQ place that gives you milk thistle for your liver?? That's some serious attention to detail haha ![Milk thistle provided as a service item](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-15-aohy4-966.webp) ![Kimchi, bean sprouts and minari grilled together on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-16-109bm-966.webp) ## Kimchi, bean sprouts and minari on the grill with the pork Another thing I really liked about eating at Cham Dwaejitgan was the kimchi, bean sprouts, and minari (water dropwort). The staff grilled not just the meat but also the kimchi, bean sprouts, and minari on the pan. Eating the kimchi and bean sprouts and minari together with the meat — infused with the pork's fat and that smoky grilled flavor — was genuinely delicious. Especially the well-grilled kimchi paired with the pork neck: it cut through the richness while adding a savory depth. The minari was fragrant too and went really well with the pork haha Look at this~~~~~ both the pork neck and pork jowl were thick, high-quality cuts ![Thick cuts of grilled pork neck and pork jowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-17-u40ul-966.webp) ## A Jongno Korean BBQ where staff grill every cut for you What I especially liked about Cham Dwaejitgan was that the staff grill the meat for you. It was nice not having to keep an eye on the grill the whole time — we could just relax and chat while we waited. They flipped the meat at just the right moments and cooked it to just the right doneness, so all we had to do was eat it and enjoy! ![Staff grilling meat on the pan at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-18-gqqvm-1200.webp) ### What the pork neck (mokssal) tastes like We started with the pork neck. Grilled to a golden brown, it looked appetizingly cooked on the outside while staying juicy inside. You could really taste that clean, nutty flavor characteristic of pork neck — it was delicious dipped in just salt, and it also paired well with the side dishes. ![Golden-brown grilled pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-19-10ru0-966.webp) ### What the pork jowl (hangjeongsal) tastes like The pork jowl (hangjeongsal) had a different charm from the pork neck. It was pleasantly chewy, and the more you chewed, the more the nutty flavor came through — personally, alternating between the two cuts kept things from getting boring, and I kept reaching for more. ![Chewy, well-cooked pork jowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-20-15uez-966.webp) ## Self-serve lettuce, perilla leaves and potatoes at Cham Dwaejitgan The lettuce and perilla leaves were on a self-serve bar, so we could keep grabbing more whenever we wanted, which was convenient. Being a perilla leaf fan, I wrapped up some proper perilla leaf ssam and munched away happily. ![Meat wrapped in perilla leaves from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-21-1tvmf-966.webp) The sliced potatoes grilled alongside the meat were also great!! ## Finishing the meal with fried rice It'd be a shame not to have the fried rice "dessert," right? ![Finishing fried rice topped with egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan-22-e7yqc-966.webp) With an egg cracked right on top of the fried rice haha, it was so nutty and delicious. For busy times like Friday evening, I'd recommend using remote queuing like we did before visiting. We got seated much sooner than expected, which made the whole experience even more satisfying!! If you're looking for an easily accessible Korean BBQ spot in Jongno3-ga to enjoy pork belly with your husband or a friend, I'd recommend giving this place a visit 👍🏻 We ended our Friday evening on a happy note, enjoying well-grilled pork neck and pork jowl together~ ## Where it is - Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch (참돼짓간 종로본점) - 1 Donhwamun-ro 5ga-gil, 1st floor Piccadilly CGV Theater Unit 1-89, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 돈화문로5가길 1 피카디리 cgv극장 1층 1-89호 - 37.5710346, 126.9912405 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B0%B8%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%93%EA%B0%84%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5710346,126.9912405,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@salt-and-conversation/jongno-samgyeopsal-moksal-hangjeongsal-chamdwaejitgan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
