We ordered the Pork Geun set because we wanted to try several cuts together. The staff grilled the meat themselves, so it was easy to talk during the meal, and the side dishes and soft tofu stew made it filling. ![Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch Pork Geun set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-01-14xm3-900.webp) ## How far is it from Hapjeong Station, and was there a wait? The restaurant is on the first floor at 78 Yanghwa-ro 6-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is 432 m from Exit 6 of Hapjeong Station, or about a five-minute walk.

There was a waiting area, but when I visited at 6 p.m. on a weekday, we were seated without waiting. ![Crown sign at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-03-1hufs-900.webp) At the time of my visit, there was a notice saying that soft tofu stew was provided with a meat order, and steamed egg was provided after a wait of 10 minutes or more. We entered without waiting and had the soft tofu stew included with our meat order. ![Waiting-area information at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-04-r2nvm-900.webp) ![Service benefits information at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-05-174ys-900.webp) The hours listed in the original post are daily from 11:00 to 23:00, open year-round. Groups are welcome, but parking is not available. ## Is the atmosphere suitable for work dinners or family meals? There were quite a few seats inside, so it looked suitable for family meals or work dinners. The chandeliers and dark wood-toned tables gave it a calm feel. ![Wood-toned tables and interior at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-06-1ww1v-900.webp) The prepared side dishes were covered with table covers. It had a retro feel, and the covered side dishes looked neat. ![Covered table setting at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-07-2x406-900.webp) ## What are the Pork Geun set price and other menu options? We ordered the Pork Geun set for ₩55,000, Zero Cola for ₩2,000, and steamed rice for ₩1,000. The set let us have thick pork neck and pork belly together. The menu included galbi-style pork belly, 1% pork neck, emperor galbi, and marinated galbi. There were also Korean beef snowflake cut and Korean beef yukhoe (seasoned raw beef). Meal options included Geumseong mul naengmyeon (cold noodle soup), bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles), kimchi stew, doenjang stew, Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap, and Korean beef yukhoe naengmyeon, so there was plenty to choose from. ![Menu introduction material at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-08-18mpm-900.webp) ![Menu information page at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-09-nrcc5-900.webp) ![Menu selection information at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-10-gka5n-900.webp) ![Menu introduction page at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-11-o6tbi-900.webp) ![Ordered menu information at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-12-twqm1-900.webp) ![Menu information material at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-13-xaemt-900.webp) ![Menu introduction spread at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-14-14t3y-900.webp) ## How much of the grilling do the staff handle? Even before the meat arrived, the table was generously set with side dishes. Napa cabbage kimchi, pickled mustard greens, shredded onion, ssam vegetables, and several sauces were ready to pair as we liked. ![Side dishes and sauces at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-15-e1xzt-900.webp) A staff member put the thick pork neck and pork belly on the grill and turned them while checking how they were cooking. ![Grill with Pork Geun set pork neck and pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-16-1a8w8-900.webp) ![Thick pork neck and pork belly grilled by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-17-25m5g-900.webp) They also cut the meat into easy-to-eat pieces, so we could simply talk and eat the cooked pieces one at a time. It was convenient not to have to worry about cooking the thick meat through to the center. ![Pork cut into easy-to-eat pieces on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-18-1qstg-1200.webp) ![Pork cooking on the grill at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-19-cvb2m-900.webp) ## What did we eat with the pork neck and pork belly? For the first bite, I had it with just pink salt. Then I paired it with breadcrumbs and steak sauce, a combination I also liked. The meat was juicy and savory, with a pleasantly chewy texture. ![Grilled meat and accompaniments at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-20-vhzeh-900.webp) ![Eating Pork Geun set grilled meat with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-21-1ecx0-900.webp) We also wrapped it in ssam. It felt a little rich at times, and the pickled mustard greens went well with it then. The cooked meat was moved to the side of the grill, which made it easy to keep it warm until the end. ![Grilled pork with ssam and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-22-11d5x-900.webp) ![Pork and side dishes at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-23-1fcal-900.webp) ## How was the included soft tofu stew? The soft tofu stew that came with the meat order had plenty of tofu. The broth was spicy and warming, so we ordered an extra bowl of rice and mixed it in. It felt as filling as ordering a separate meal dish. The most convenient part of this meal was that the staff grilled and cut the meat, so I could focus on talking with my husband. With pork neck, pork belly, various accompaniments, and soft tofu stew, the meal felt generous. ![Pork Geun set meal at Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set-24-hjrnu-900.webp) ## Where it is - Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch (금성회관 합정본점) (금성회관 합정본점) - 78 Yanghwa-ro 6-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1st floor) - 서울특별시 마포구 양화로6길 78 1층 - 37.5483547, 126.9184193 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B8%88%EC%84%B1%ED%9A%8C%EA%B4%80%20%ED%95%A9%EC%A0%95%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5483547,126.9184193,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-lunch-break/geumseonghoegwan-hapjeong-grilled-pork-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
