Bar-seat Korean BBQ by Beomeo Station, Daegu: Cheongchun Samgyeopsal

There are quietly a lot of good restaurants in the alley by the Woori Bank near Beomeo Station. Especially BBQ places — there are quite a few — and among them I visited 'Cheongchun Samgyeopsal,' a samgyeopsal (pork belly) spot in Beomeo-dong that has a wait 365 days a year haha 😆 Momo C's go-to place again 😋

(I pass by here every day on my way home from work, and every day there are people sitting outside, so yeah, it's definitely a 365-day wait spot 😝)

Just a short walk into the alley by Woori Bank near Beomeo Station, right across from Beomeo Central Prugio, sits 'Cheongchun Samgyeopsal,' a hotspot in Beomeo-dong ✨

True to its reputation as a wait-list spot in Beomeo-dong, there's even a separate waiting area off to one side!

Bar seats and a mood that suits a date or a group night in Beomeo-dong

Overall, Cheongchun Samgyeopsal had a clean, stylish feel — more of a slightly emotional, moody atmosphere than the typical BBQ joint vibe, so it seemed like a fine spot for a date or a gathering too!

Besides table seats, there's also a bar-style setup, which looked great for two people sitting side by side eating meat, and the place itself was so tidy that the first impression was already good :) Momo C, who'd been wanting to sit at a bar table, got her wish 😁

The interior really doesn't feel like a typical BBQ joint 👀 Overall it had a wood-toned, slightly old hanok (traditional Korean house) feel with a unique atmosphere, and with the soft lighting added on top, it gave off major moody-bar vibes 🍻 A great drinking spot in Beomeo-dong 🍻 Cheongchun Samgyeopsal 🥩

Cheongchun Samgyeopsal menu and prices: can you order single portions?

The two of us ordered samgyeopsal ₩14,000, pork neck ₩14,000, hangjeong (pork jowl) ₩15,000, and Bongpyeong buckwheat cold noodles ₩7,000, done 😎

Since I already know samgyeopsal is delicious, I tried other cuts too — and the fact that you can order just one portion of each is great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Even with just two of us, we could still try three different cuts — samgyeopsal, pork neck, and hangjeong — a little of everything we wanted 😋

Staff grill it for you: service and the side dishes

Such a romantic seat, the bar table haha, so very Momo C's style 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You even get to watch the meat being trimmed right in front of you — and the staff member's hands were seriously fast and so kind 😊👍🏻

From trimming the meat to grilling it for everyone at the bar table, one person handled it all solo — and grilled it so well that the flavor was pure art 😁

For the basic side dishes: 3 kinds of pickles, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned wild greens, salted hairtail intestines, lettuce wraps, wasabi, salt, and 2 kinds of house-made sauces — lots of dipping options, which is great 😁

One portion each of samgyeopsal, pork neck, and hangjeong 🥩 The meat looked great, but the mushrooms and shishito-style peppers served alongside were super fresh too — almost looked fake, they were so perfect 🤣🤣

Grilling it up nicely 😁 They cooked it from start to finish, so all we had to do was sit back and eat 😋

Golden-brown, perfectly cooked samgyeopsal and pork neck! We wrapped some in onion to taste, and topped some with wasabi too!!!

The best cut of the night: hangjeong (pork jowl)

Last up: hangjeong! Is the star saved for last? 👀 ⭐️ Today's number-one dish, hangjeong ⭐️

The texture was almost crunchy, and both the bite and the juiciness were amazing!!! Personally, I think the hangjeong was the tastiest cut we had that day 😋

Finishing with Bongpyeong buckwheat cold noodles, 7,000 won

We finished with Bongpyeong buckwheat cold noodles! It had a yeolmu naengguksu (cold radish-green noodle soup) kind of feel, and since Momo C loves buckwheat noodles, that was already a plus 😆 Like a collab between cold noodles and cold noodle-soup broth, if that makes sense,,,?! haha Such a refreshing finish!!! 😝

Cheongchun Samgyeopsal near Beomeo Station had great food, but the atmosphere was also good, and the staff were all so kind from start to finish — we left full and happy 😊

Now I get why this place always has a wait in Beomeo-dong! The meat was delicious and the vibe was great too — I'm definitely coming back to Cheongchun Samgyeopsal.
