I visited at 10 p.m. for pork belly, dwaeji dwit-gogi and double-cheese steamed egg, with no weekday wait and an open-window second-floor atmosphere. Verdict: a great-value late-night stop with especially springy pork cuts. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon–Thu 12:00–24:00 (last order 23:00); Fri–Sun 12:00–02:00 (last order 01:00) - **Reservations**: Reservations and group reservations available - **Ordered**: 2 servings pork belly, 1 serving dwaeji dwit-gogi, double-cheese steamed egg, several bottles of soju *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## Going out for meat in Hongdae at 10 p.m. Last weekend, I suddenly wanted meat so badly..! I messaged a friend and headed to Hongdae at 10 p.m. 🚌 A barbecue place open late is such a precious thing..ㅜㅜ ![Heading to Hongdae for a barbecue restaurant visit at 10 p.m.](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-01-gh009-900.webp) ![Visiting a Hongdae barbecue restaurant late at night](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-02-1c2ov-900.webp) ![Visiting Chopilsal Pork Grill in Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-03-6mzp1-900.webp) The pork belly spot I visited was Chopilsal Pork Grill Hongdae Branch (초필살돼지구이 홍대점)! It gets lots of Japanese and Chinese tourists, so I worried there might be a wait, but luckily, because it was late on a weekday, there was no wait. ![A Hongdae barbecue restaurant visited without waiting](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-04-1e1eb-900.webp) ![A Hongdae barbecue restaurant late on a weekday](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-05-14jcr-900.webp) ![Inside Chopilsal Pork Grill Hongdae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-06-r41l8-900.webp) We were shown upstairs~ The second-floor windows were open too, so it really had that outdoor-bar kind of feel. ![Second-floor barbecue dining area with open windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-07-4h8fr-900.webp) ![Second-floor seating with an outdoor-bar atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-08-1lluw-900.webp) Maybe because it was an hour before last order, the first floor looked like it had already started closing up! ![The first floor already closing for the night](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-09-1d0pe-900.webp) ## Ordering pork belly, dwaeji dwit-gogi, and double-cheese steamed egg - 2 servings of ogyeopsal (five-layer pork belly) - 1 serving of dwaeji dwit-gogi (pork back cuts) - Double-cheese steamed egg - Soju... several bottles ![Order of pork belly and dwaeji dwit-gogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-10-4p7oy-900.webp) ![Double-cheese steamed egg and ordered meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-11-10l06-900.webp) ![Order spread with meat and soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-12-h9hj1-900.webp) The basic table setting they put out after we ordered. I loved that there was so much to eat alongside the meat. Especially the perilla leaves with ssammu (pickled radish wraps) already placed on them—such a great touch. ![Basic table setting with perilla leaves and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-13-1be7n-900.webp) With one piece of ssammu on every perilla leaf, it was so easy to make wrap after wrap~😉 Salty, sweet... it totally maximized the meat's savory flavor, haha. ![Perilla leaf and pickled-radish side dish spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-14-11wui-900.webp) All together, this was the table setting! It was already completely packed with just the basic spread. ![Basic table setting filled with assorted sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-15-jdf60-900.webp) Can you leave out soju..? Hahaha, did we drink three bottles that day? Hahahaㅠㅠ When the food is good, the drinks go down so easily~🥹🥲🥲 ![Soju spread with meat dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-16-1lfir-900.webp) They also give you meljeot (fermented anchovy sauce). Everyone knows how to eat meljeot by now, right? Add chopped Cheongyang chili peppers and dunk in a few garlic cloves, then let it boil away—it tastes good enough to bring even dead meat back to life~🍀 ![Meljeot with Cheongyang chili peppers and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-17-11toa-900.webp) ## Thick pork belly and springy dwaeji dwit-gogi Ta-da! ⭐️ Two servings of ogyeopsal and one serving of dwaeji dwit-gogi! The salted pork belly was super thick... haha. And for one serving, there was quite a lot of dwaeji dwit-gogi too..!! ![Thick salted pork belly and dwaeji dwit-gogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-18-1v04r-900.webp) They brought out wrap vegetables right away when we asked~ If you need wrap vegetables with your meat, make sure to request them separately! ![Wrap vegetables prepared on request](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-19-13q2x-900.webp) ### How we ate the double-cheese steamed egg Oh wow, the double-cheese steamed egg looked ready to explode! If you like that slightly funky, Camembert-like cheese aroma, you absolutely have to order it! It wasn't an ordinary steamed egg. ![Puffed-up double-cheese steamed egg, ready to overflow](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-20-18kf9-900.webp) They said the steamed egg tastes even better if you stir it well so the cheese and egg are evenly mixed. ![Steamed egg mixed with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-21-qen9w-900.webp) ![Various sauces to eat with grilled meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-22-twxkk-900.webp) For the nicely grilled meat, just enjoy it with the various sauces. There were lots of dipping sauces and pickled sides, so every single bite was delicious. ![Grilled meat served with assorted sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-23-6gcbz-1200.webp) Ah, especially the dwaeji dwit-gogi—it was nicely springy, had great texture, and no off smell at all, so I highly recommend it. ![Dwaeji dwit-gogi with a springy texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill-24-1ng84-900.webp) I was too full for stew that day, but next time I want to try it.. Stew is a must with soju, but the steamed egg was surprisingly filling. The friend I went with doesn't eat much, so you could say I ate it alllll~~ myself, hahaha. ## How was it as a late-night Hongdae barbecue spot? My overall take on Chopilsal Pork Grill Hongdae Branch! First, the prices are so reasonable that I’d recommend it as a company dinner spot too. It’s just right for anyone who likes lots of things to eat alongside their meat! Especially among barbecue places open late, I don’t think many deliver this level of quality, so I’m giving it 4 out of 5. ## Where it is - Chopilsal Pork Grill Hongdae Branch (초필살돼지구이 홍대점) (초필살돼지구이 홍대점) - 172 Donggyo-ro, 1st and 2nd floors, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 동교로 172 1, 2층) - 서울특별시 마포구 동교로 172 1, 2층 - 37.5559973, 126.920995 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B4%88%ED%95%84%EC%82%B4%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%80%EA%B5%AC%EC%9D%B4%20%ED%99%8D%EB%8C%80%EC%A0%90/@37.5559973,126.920995,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@side-dish-hour/hongdae-late-night-pork-grill/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
