Jongno Korean BBQ by Tapgol Park: Chowon Restaurant

Chowon Restaurant is a Korean barbecue restaurant beside Tapgol Park in Jongno, Seoul. I grilled quick-frozen pork belly with kimchi and gosari, then finished with brisket soybean paste stew and rice for 65,000 won. Verdict: a great match for a lively old-Seoul street-table night rather than a quiet dinner.

Jongno Korean BBQ restaurant with a dinner wait: Cham Dwaejitgan

Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch is a pork belly Korean BBQ restaurant in Jongno, Seoul. After a 30-minute estimated wait at 7 PM, I had thick pork belly grilled over charcoal by the staff with potato wraps, minari, kimchi, and more. Verdict: a convenient, good-value choice for an easy group meal in Jongno.
