After a Friday 8:20pm wait, this visit covered two servings of cham samgyeopsal (pork belly), one serving of Boseong nokdon gabrisal (pork jowl), and Jirisan kudzu mul-naengmyeon (cold noodle soup), all grilled tableside by staff from start to finish. A great spot for pairing classic pork belly with chewier gabrisal on the side. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 12:00–23:00 - **Location**: 1F, Piccadilly CGV, 1 Donhwamun-ro 5ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul - **Cham samgyeopsal (Boseong nokdon pork belly)**: ₩16,000 (ordered 2 servings) - **Boseong nokdon gabrisal (pork jowl)**: ₩19,000 (ordered 1 serving) - **Jirisan kudzu mul-naengmyeon (cold noodle soup)**: ₩7,000 - **Ordering method**: Tabletop T-order kiosk - **Wait time**: Friday evening, 6 parties waiting, estimated 105 minutes but actually 20 minutes *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Signature photo of charcoal-grilled samgyeopsal at Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-01-gev5k-1200.webp) My partner tried this place and said it was great, so I went back for round two — let me introduce Cham Dwaejitgan (참돼짓간), a Jongno3-ga Korean BBQ spot 🩶 ## Location and hours of Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno ⏰ Hours Daily 12:00–23:00 📍 Location 1 Donhwamun-ro 5ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul 1F, Piccadilly CGV, unit 1-89 ## How long was the Friday evening wait? ![Exterior of Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch on the 1st floor of Piccadilly CGV](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-02-i5b33-900.webp) I showed up around 8pm, and since it was a Friday there was a wait — 6 parties ahead of me, with an estimated wait of 105 minutes. But! It didn't actually take that long, and I got in after just 20 minutes. There's a bench outside the shop where you can sit while waiting. Cham Dwaejitgan smokes the meat over rice husks for extra flavor and grills it over charcoal for tender texture. They say they only use Jirisan black pork and grade-1 Boseong nokdon pork, raised on green tea! ## Inside the restaurant ![Lively interior of Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch full of customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-03-13h88-900.webp) Since it was dinner time, customers kept streaming in, giving the place a lively overall vibe. It looked like a good option for anyone in Jongno looking for a group dinner or company get-together spot. Plenty of foreign diners too. The meat display you see as you walk in. ## Menu lineup ![Menu board showing Jirisan black pork and Boseong nokdon grilled pork options](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-04-1boyv-905.webp) ![Menu board listing Boseong nokdon samgyeopsal and gabrisal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-05-1i93t-905.webp) There's Jirisan black pork ogeopsal (five-layer pork belly) and pork neck, Boseong nokdon samgyeopsal, kkotmokssal (flower pork neck), cheongyeopsal (thousand-layer pork belly), and gabrisal (pork jowl). ![Side menu page at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-06-192wb-905.webp) ![Menu board listing drinks and alcohol](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-07-1ifjv-905.webp) There are also side dishes and drinks/alcohol to pair with the meat. ## How to order and the banchan setup ![Table T-order kiosk screen for placing orders](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-08-1vjfb-900.webp) You order through the T-order kiosk right at the table. ![Pre-set spread of banchan at Cham Dwaejitgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-09-v3hsu-966.webp) As soon as we sat down, all the banchan (side dishes) were already set out on the table. ![Guide for eating samgyeopsal along with accompanying dipping sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-10-14eer-900.webp) A tip for enjoying samgyeopsal even more! Pair it with the banchan that's prepared alongside it. A wide variety of banchan was pre-set on the table. There was minari (water dropwort) and bean sprout namul to grill with the meat, kimchi, cabbage salad, scallion strips, garlic scapes, perilla leaves, and lettuce to eat alongside the meat. Each person also had mushroom wasabi, spicy sauce, ssamjang (dipping sauce), garlic, and salt to pair with the meat. ### Self bar The banchan comes pre-set, and if you run out, you can grab more from the self bar. Everything was kept fully stocked, no shortages. ## Two servings of cham samgyeopsal (Boseong nokdon) ![Plate of raw cham samgyeopsal (Boseong nokdon), two servings](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-11-t6uxp-900.webp) Cham samgyeopsal (Boseong nokdon) ₩16,000 × 2 servings The pork we ordered came out with potato slices, kkwari peppers, and king oyster mushrooms. ![Samgyeopsal and potato slices on the handmade grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-12-1o2ip-900.webp) They said the grill plate is a handmade one — and I really liked how little it splattered oil. ![Staff grilling charcoal samgyeopsal for the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-13-nd22s-900.webp) ![Boseong nokdon samgyeopsal grilling to a golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-14-178wp-900.webp) Staff grilled everything for us from start to finish, so all we had to do was eat comfortably. The outside of the pork got beautifully browned while the inside stayed juicy and tender — really delicious. ![Grilled samgyeopsal plated with king oyster mushroom and kkwari pepper](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-15-1ti99-900.webp) ![A piece of samgyeopsal plated together with grilled vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-16-17p7n-900.webp) Eating only meat can get a little heavy after a while, but pairing it with the grilled vegetables in between made for a great combination. ## Order a beer and get milk thistle on the house ![Terra beer, non-alcoholic lemon Cass, and complimentary milk thistle supplement](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-17-j6y2l-900.webp) We ordered beer with our meat too. They had Terra and a non-alcoholic lemon Cass, so we got curious and tried both. The touching part! When you order alcohol, they give you a milk thistle supplement too — such a thoughtful touch 🌟 ![Thin potato slices grilling on the plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-18-15jm9-900.webp) ![Potato slices grilled together with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-19-1n728-900.webp) These potato slices can be ordered separately. Thinly sliced potatoes grilled alongside the meat — a combination you don't usually see with samgyeopsal, and a real specialty unique to Cham Dwaejitgan. ![Raw serving of Boseong nokdon gabrisal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-20-12zgs-900.webp) ## Adding a serving of Boseong nokdon gabrisal Boseong nokdon gabrisal (pork jowl) ₩19,000 × 1 serving It felt like a shame to only have samgyeopsal, so we added a serving of gabrisal too. It has a chewier texture than samgyeopsal, but not tough — soft and tender, with a savory flavor that comes out more the more you chew. It has a different charm from samgyeopsal, so I'd recommend gabrisal too. ![Gabrisal grilling on the plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-21-70e9w-900.webp) ![Cross-section of chewy, well-grilled gabrisal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-22-lp3mz-900.webp) ![Gabrisal placed on a lettuce wrap leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-23-6i6gd-900.webp) ![Jirisan kudzu mul-naengmyeon with scissors and mustard](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan-24-1ao4f-900.webp) ## Finishing with Jirisan kudzu mul-naengmyeon Jirisan kudzu mul-naengmyeon (cold noodle soup) ₩7,000 You can't skip mul-naengmyeon after eating meat, so we ordered that too. The cool broth left our mouths feeling refreshed and clean. It's great on its own, or you can pile leftover grilled meat on top of the noodles — it pairs really well either way. Scissors, mustard, and vinegar come with the noodles so you can cut them and season to your taste. ## Things you can grab on your way out After paying and heading out, I noticed they had palate-cleansing candy, screen wipes, hair ties, toothpicks, interdental brushes, disposable mouthwash, and deodorant all set out. Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno really thinks of every little detail. ## Looking for a Korean BBQ spot in Jongno3-ga? Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno was convenient since staff grilled the meat for us the whole time, and the pairing with grilled potatoes, minari, and kimchi alongside the meat worked really well. The variety of banchan was impressive too, and the attention to detail — from the self bar to the mouthwash, interdental brushes, and deodorant available after the meal — stood out. If you're looking for a pork restaurant in Jongno where staff grill for you, or a Korean BBQ spot in Jongno3-ga, this one's worth a visit. ## Where it is - Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch (참돼짓간 종로본점) - 1 Donhwamun-ro 5ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F, Piccadilly CGV, unit 1-89) - 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/@seoul-noon-stoop/jongno-samgyeopsal-gabrisal-chamdwaejitgan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
