I was out around Eungam Station and got hungry late at night, so while searching for good Eunpyeong restaurants I found Yukjjip — open late, and staff grill the meat for you, so I went 😊 Let's get into the review!!! ## Where Yukjjip is and where to park Yukjjip is only a 1-minute walk from Eungam Station — super convenient location! The store spans two floors, so it never feels crowded haha. There's no in-building parking and no parking support offered. You'll need to use a nearby lot — the Amano Aphelium Apartment parking lot is closest!! - ₩30,000 daily max - ₩1,500 for the first 30 minutes - ₩500 per additional 15 minutes ![Exterior and entrance of Yukjjip near Eungam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-01-bq5wu-900.webp) ![Front of the Yukjjip building on Bulgwangcheon-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-02-ucmiy-900.webp) ![Signage at Yukjjip's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-03-1cr5w-900.webp) ## Soju 1,000 won and beer 2,000 won: Yukjjip's October deal Through October, there's a special discount event — ₩1,000 soju and ₩2,000 beer!!! All the drinkers of Eunpyeong-gu should gather here!! Can't let this chance slip by. Guests visiting before 6pm get either doenjang stew or a handmade side dish for free ❤️ For lunch there's also a Jirisan pork kimchi stew special, just ₩10,000 including rice. Super cheap. Great for local residents or office workers nearby. ![Notice for Yukjjip's soju and beer discount event](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-04-8zk5j-900.webp) ![Notice for Yukjjip's before-6pm visit benefit](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-05-khvnu-900.webp) ![Notice for Yukjjip's lunch special kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-06-16tb1-900.webp) ![Event poster outside Yukjjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-07-1rdvr-900.webp) ## A 15-minute wait at Yukjjip, even at 9pm Even though it was late — 9pm — there was still a wait at Yukjjip. When there's a wait, table time is capped at 100 minutes, and if you wait 20+ minutes you get to join a nostalgic prize-draw event. They also have water set out so you can stay hydrated while waiting. The thoughtfulness toward waiting guests is amazing 😍😍 Even more, pregnant guests get priority entry~~ The owner really thinks of every little detail. Apparently it's an officially certified Jirisan Barohandon pork restaurant, which probably explains the crowd. After waiting about 15 minutes I got in. Five more minutes and I could've done the prize draw — so close, haha. ## Yukjjip's 1st and 2nd floor seating and restrooms ### 1st floor at Yukjjip There were about 5 four-person tables. The crowd was quite mixed — families, dates, friend meetups. Disposable aprons are hanging on the wall if you look~~~~ ### 2nd floor at Yukjjip The 2nd floor has more tables than the 1st, plus 6-person seating. Better suited for larger groups or work dinners. The Jirisan aged meat sits nicely in the aging fridge haha. There was an aging fridge on the 1st floor too! Disposable aprons are on the wall here as well, same as downstairs~ They send the meat up from the 1st to 2nd floor through this elevator(?) thing. Most important — the restroom! The women's restroom is on the 2nd floor. I didn't check the men's, but it's probably on the 1st floor? haha ## Yukjjip's menu and tablet ordering ![Yukjjip tablet screen showing single-item meat menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-08-1gf5k-900.webp) ![Yukjjip's meat platter menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-09-j8gn1-900.webp) ![Yukjjip's stews and meal menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-10-10vza-900.webp) ![Yukjjip's side dish menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-11-1h998-900.webp) You order via the tablet at each table, super convenient. There's both a combo platter and single-item meat options. I ordered just the whole pork belly, but if you want to try multiple cuts, go for the platter. I'm a one-cut-only kind of person!! Water dropwort isn't included by default — it's only added if you order it separately, so if you like pork belly with water dropwort, add it on. There are stew options like doenjang stew, kimchi stew, and spicy soft tofu stew, and I noticed meal dishes made with yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi) too — maybe they're known for it. ![The Yukjjip menu item I regret not ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-12-1un2u-900.webp) Sorting through photos now, and I just found this and I'm speechless. I photographed this amazing menu item and never ordered it!!!! So annoyed. Hope you readers don't make the same mistake as me.. Rice comes with an extra charge, but the kids' portion is free. You can also add lettuce refills through the table order system! ### What we ordered at Yukjjip - Whole pork belly (₩17,000) x2 - Handmade pork skin (₩7,000) - Spicy soft tofu stew (₩7,000) When I saw "sundubu" meant spicy soft tofu stew, I ordered it right away!!! My stomach wasn't feeling great and I needed something spicy to settle it. ![Notice for Yukjjip's Naver receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-13-jyyku-890.webp) There was also a Naver receipt review event offering a free handmade side dish. ## How does the staff-grilled whole pork belly taste? Shortly after, the charcoal and grill plate come out. This grill plate is apparently a Yukjjip original, patented and everything. While zoning out waiting for the meat, I spotted this on the tablet and read it right away. It would've been easier to notice if this info were also posted big on the wall or table, but it just flashed briefly on the tablet, which was a bit of a shame. ![Whole pork belly on Yukjjip's charcoal grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-14-d9ew5-1200.webp) And then the whole pork belly arrives... it really lives up to its name. Literally a 'whole' cut of pork belly. I love that thick-cut style. It comes in two pieces — I got so excited taking photos holding the meat that I dropped a piece, haha. Since staff grill everything for you, all you need to do is get ready to eat. ### Yukjjip's banchan (side dishes) Lettuce / bean sprout and chive salad / baek-kimchi (white kimchi) / pa-kimchi (green onion kimchi) / wild garlic leaves / salted shrimp / ssamjang (dipping sauce) / garlic / Himalayan pink salt / anchovy sauce. The salted shrimp is red, right? They season it themselves haha. Seems like a special house recipe. The spicy soft tofu stew arrives~~~ Packed with soft tofu and meat, a really hearty bowl. Even for someone with low spice tolerance like me, it wasn't too spicy! My friend insisted on ordering rice, and look at the portion — packed tightly into the bowl. ![Staff grilling whole pork belly at Yukjjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-15-10phc-900.webp) ![Thick whole pork belly cooking on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-16-1cslo-900.webp) ![육쯥 기본 상차림 반찬 접시](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-17-8q2hv-900.webp) ![Yukjjip's spicy soft tofu stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-18-1ltl3-900.webp) ![Rice packed tightly into a bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-19-1twjv-900.webp) So pretty..❤️ They select the well-cooked pieces and set them aside separately, and honestly, they were so good. Could eat more. The juices burst out — what's the secret, please teach me? ![Well-cooked whole pork belly ready to wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-20-1py4b-900.webp) If it's this good, what do you do? Wrap it in lettuce, obviously. Wrapped it endlessly, and once full, wrapped just pa-kimchi around it — that combo is insane. But the real MVP at Yukjjip is the bean sprout and chive salad. Its refreshing tang cuts through the greasiness of the meat. Honestly I finished it before the meat was even fully grilled and asked for a refill 😆 Garlic grilled well without slipping through, thanks to the tightly-spaced holes on the grill plate. ![Yukjjip's patented tightly-holed grill plate with grilled garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-21-126ie-900.webp) ## Handmade pork skin at Yukjjip is self-grilled After finishing the pork belly, we added Yukjjip's handmade pork skin (₩7,000), but unfortunately, the pork skin has to be grilled yourself ㅠ__ㅠ ![Self-grilling Yukjjip's handmade pork skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-22-ig4o4-900.webp) ![Cutting the pork skin with scissors](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-23-1na74-900.webp) ![Handmade pork skin eaten with soybean powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly-24-1i29c-900.webp) I've only ever eaten pork skin grilled for me, so I was worried. But turns out — my friend is a pork skin master. Should honestly go open a pork skin restaurant---!! Claiming it's a tricky cut to see, showed off some impressive scissor work, and how could I not film that. The pork skin is already fully seasoned so no need for extra dipping sauce, but pork skin needs soybean powder, right? Of course they bring it along when they serve the pork skin. Dipped it in the soybean powder and had a fantastic meal. What I did: hype up my friend into grilling the pork skin + open wide and eat happily. At Yukjjip you can enjoy delicious meat without lifting a finger, plus make the most of the alcohol discount event 👍 ## Is Yukjjip worth a late-night visit? - Staff-grilled pork belly in Eunpyeong-gu - A Korean BBQ spot with cheap drinks - Recommended for group dinners near Eungam Station ## Where it is - Yukjjip (육쯥) - 558 Bulgwangcheon-gil, 1st-2nd floor, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 은평구 불광천길 558 1,2층 - 37.5987649, 126.9166027 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A1%EC%AF%A5/@37.5987649,126.9166027,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@shared-chopstick-stories/yukjjeup-eungam-late-night-pork-belly/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
