You know how amazing grilled kimchi and pork belly are together, right? This time, I visited a Hapjeong Korean BBQ restaurant where both the kimchi and pork belly were delicious! ![Hapjeong Station Korean BBQ restaurant introducing kimchi pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-01-nnky1-966.webp) This is Ijjok, and even the arrow suits the name so well! It is located between Hapjeong and Sangsu Stations, so it is very easy to get to and also a reasonable distance from Hongdae! ![Exterior of Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-02-uop6y-966.webp) - Address – 20 Dongmak-ro 3-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul - Hours – 11:30–23:00 (Monday–Saturday) - Break time 15:00–17:00 - Regular closing day: Sunday It is a Korean BBQ restaurant, but it is open from lunchtime, making it a really good Hapjeong spot for a lunch get-together too! ![Restaurant entrances set up in two locations](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-03-8v2ww-966.webp) There are two entrances, but they connect inside, so either one is fine! There are also chairs outside for waiting, so you can sit comfortably if there is a queue. ![Waiting chairs in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-04-19hfz-966.webp) ![Restaurant interior connected to the basement](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-05-1mu4d-966.webp) I went in along the first-floor side, but it was full, so I went down to the space next door! You can move between them directly inside, so it is easy whichever entrance you use. As you would expect from a great Hapjeong meat spot, celebrity autographs were posted on the walls too! ![Celebrity autographs posted on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-06-16cid-966.webp) ## The 2–3 person set and lunch set meals Let’s look at the menu at Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal near Hapjeong Station! They have set menus, so you can eat more generously at a better value, which is why I chose the 2–3 person set menu too! ![Menu with a 2–3 person set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-07-11a4c-966.webp) The meat options are Korean beef brisket, fresh pork belly, fresh pork neck, and whole pork jowl, and you can add king oyster mushrooms for ₩1,000! There are also set meals, making this a good Hapjeong Station Korean BBQ restaurant for lunch. There is a marinated pork grill set meal, a brisket set meal, and a kimchi stew set meal, and you can add ramen noodles or meat, so you can really fill up, haha. For finishing dishes, there are great options to order when meat alone feels a little incomplete: bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles), naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles), rice in soup, stew, steamed egg, ramen, and even finishing fried rice~! ![Lunch set meals and finishing dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-08-jru6j-966.webp) For drinks, they have soju, beer, and soft drinks, so pick whatever you like! ![Drinks menu with soju, beer, and soft drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-09-1ixvw-966.webp) ## How to enjoy it with fresh wasabi and bean sprouts There is a guide on the table for enjoying the meat deliciously. ![Guide on the table for enjoying the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-10-1uc6i-966.webp) Usually you have to ask for refills of salt or wasabi, but at Ijjok, you can put fresh wasabi and roasted salt on your own plate and take as much as you want, which I liked! ![Fresh wasabi and roasted salt served onto individual plates](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-11-q2naq-966.webp) The basic side dishes arrived! There were lettuce, shredded scallions, and bean sprouts, and I could see why the guide tells you to eat the meat with bean sprouts...! Haha, the bean sprouts were so good!!! ![Basic side dishes of lettuce, shredded scallions, and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-12-1celt-966.webp) These were so good, hahahaha. Be sure to try them with the meat! ![Bean sprout side dish to eat with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-13-lnbil-966.webp) ## Kimchi cooked in pork fat and tender pork belly Once you get ready for the meat and wait just a little, ![Meat served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-14-ouve9-966.webp) the meat arrives like this! It had such a beautiful color, and I could tell it would be tender just by looking at it. ![Meat prepared with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-15-51gci-966.webp) First, big pieces of kimchi are set out~! You know kimchi tastes best when it is cooked in pork fat, right?! They place the kimchi where the pork fat runs, then put the meat on the grill and start cooking it! ![Kimchi and meat cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-16-7nyhc-966.webp) I really love grilled kimchi, and as it cooked in the pork fat, even the aroma was one that could not possibly be anything but delicious!!! I thought, I want to eat this with the meat already, and waited a little longer, haha. ![Kimchi cooking in pork fat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-17-1xovl-966.webp) The kimchi was turning nicely golden too, ![Meat browning on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-18-1n7cc-966.webp) and the meat was browning beautifully on the grill. ![Cooked meat placed on a hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-19-1dr2e-966.webp) Once the meat is cooked, they place it on a separate hot plate like this, so you can enjoy it without burning it. ![Meat served with kimchi and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-20-taka7-966.webp) I ate it with kimchi and topped it with bean sprouts too, and the combination was so good whichever way I had it! The meat was tender, which made it even more delicious. ![Savory, fluffy steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-21-19thv-966.webp) ## Steamed egg, soybean paste stew, and pork jowl The steamed egg was savory and fluffy too, so I kept scooping it up. ![Soybean paste stew with tofu and zucchini](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-22-5bhtw-966.webp) The doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) was exactly my taste too.... Hahahaha. It was loaded with tofu, zucchini, and other ingredients, and the broth had a nice spicy kick, so it was really delicious, haha. While I diligently ate the meat that had gone on the grill first, the pork jowl began cooking too. ![Long-cut pork jowl cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-23-152u4-966.webp) They cut it into long pieces, and the pork jowl was so tender too. ![Tender and chewy grilled pork jowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork/hapjeong-grilled-kimchi-pork-24-1dtpe-966.webp) It was tender, chewy, and delicious with every bite!! I loved that they grilled the meat for us, but the flavor was great too, so I was totally satisfied!! Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal, a great Korean BBQ restaurant near Hapjeong Station, opens from lunchtime, so it is a good place to go for lunch. I also think it would be great for a group dinner or work gathering!
