A couple visited and ordered the minari (water dropwort) platter, grilling juicy pork neck and chewy pork skin together with the minari. With the side dishes and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) rounding out the meal, Hanpanjip is a good pick on a night when plain samgyeopsal feels too ordinary. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Minari (water dropwort) platter - **Includes**: Pork neck, pork skin, minari - **Served with**: Side dishes, doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) - **Dining party**: A couple, 2 people - **Location**: Unit 104, 31-7 Daejeong-ro, Seongsan-gu, Changwon, Gyeongnam (near Gaeumjeong Market) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ## Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch: a BBQ restaurant near Gaeumjeong Market We decided to eat meat near Gaeumjeong Market in Changwon, so my husband and I went to Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch. Anyone else love minari (water dropwort) with their grilled meat? My husband and I really love meat and eat it out often, but eating the same samgyeopsal every time, sometimes you crave a slightly different combination. Especially the combo of the savory taste of meat with fragrant minari makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Haha. ![Storefront of Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-01-12ixr-900.webp) ### What is the atmosphere like inside Hanpanjip? At a BBQ place, the taste matters, but the atmosphere quietly matters too. Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch had a comfortable vibe, easy to drop by and enjoy meat without pressure. It had that lively BBQ-restaurant energy, but it was also nice to sit across from my husband and chat over dinner. Overall it felt clean and tidy, so it seemed like it would work well for family meals or gatherings with friends too. ![Clean, tidy seating inside the BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-02-1i14a-900.webp) Nothing beats chatting away over good meat, right? Haha. We had a relaxed, happy time eating together. ![A couple seated facing each other at the BBQ table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-03-9v0i4-900.webp) ## What the couple ordered: the minari platter What we chose was the minari platter! Eating meat alone is great, but pairing it with minari lets you enjoy a much more varied flavor thanks to its distinct fragrance. If you like the combo of meat and minari, this menu might catch your interest, so let me introduce our minari platter experience at Hanpanjip today. :) ![Menu listing for Hanpanjip's minari platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-04-1gc46-900.webp) Our goal that day was clear: the minari platter! ![The ordered minari platter set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-05-thauy-900.webp) Pairing meat with lettuce wraps is nice, but personally I think minari has a charm different from regular lettuce or perilla leaves. Its distinct fragrance blends with the meat's flavor and makes it richer overall. Somehow eating minari with meat feels a bit more special than eating meat alone. So this time too we decided to order the minari platter. ![The platter with minari and meat arranged together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-06-1dwfl-900.webp) ![Pork neck and minari placed on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-07-12gh7-900.webp) ![The minari platter cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-08-dhudp-900.webp) Here's the minari platter we ordered! Meat and minari really are hard to get wrong as a combo — the savory flavor from the meat meets the fresh scent of minari and both flavors come alive even more. ![Close-up of the meat and minari cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-09-xihd8-900.webp) ### Was the pork neck dry or juicy? What I especially liked about the minari platter was the pork neck! Pork neck can easily turn dry and tough if grilled wrong, so I usually prefer it juicy and well-cooked. The pork neck we had at Hanpanjip that day had a moist texture, not dry at all, and it was really delicious. Biting into it, you could taste the savory juices, and the more you chewed, the more the meat's clean flavor came through. ![A piece of juicy, well-cooked pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-10-1dj6q-1200.webp) ### How to eat the minari: raw or grilled? I also liked that minari feels different eaten raw versus lightly cooked, so you can enjoy it however you like. Raw minari has a crisp texture and fragrant scent, and when lightly grilled it wilts and softens, blending more naturally with the meat. ![Lightly wilted minari together with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-11-1xa63-900.webp) If you usually enjoy minari's scent, you'll know the fun of pairing it with meat bite after bite. This time, instead of just eating meat plain, we focused on enjoying it together with minari. That moment of a bite of meat paired with minari really is the biggest charm of the minari platter, right? Haha. ![A bite of meat paired with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-12-1so7y-900.webp) ![Golden-grilled pork neck with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-13-derwj-900.webp) When eating meat, the most important thing is still the meat's own flavor. That savory taste of well-cooked meat is always so appealing. Especially meat that's grilled golden on the outside gets more savory the more you chew, and you keep reaching for more. Adding minari completely changes the mood of the flavor. Eating meat alone centers on a rich, heavy flavor, while eating it with minari adds that fresh, distinct scent that makes your mouth feel lighter. ![A piece of meat picked up together with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-14-1d1ub-900.webp) The combo of savory meat and fragrant minari really is the biggest reason to eat the minari platter! Eating a bite of meat followed by minari gives you contrasting textures too, which I liked. Especially when minari is cooked just right, it keeps a crisp yet soft texture that pairs well with the meat. The minari's scent doesn't overpower the meat's flavor but blends together with it, which made the combo even more appealing. If you sometimes find meat a bit greasy, pairing it with minari might let you enjoy it in a new way. ![Meat and minari combination on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-15-6dvci-900.webp) I love how the meat's savoriness hits first, followed by minari's fragrance. Especially when you pick up lightly cooked minari together with the meat, the textures blend harmoniously. The meat handles the chewiness, and the minari adds fragrance and freshness! ![Minari cooked to a preferred doneness alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-16-pae0i-900.webp) Usually I like pairing meat with ssamjang (dipping sauce) or wrapping it in lettuce, but on minari-platter days, it's nice to just enjoy minari's own fragrance. Personally, I think minari tastes better when it's cooked just enough to wilt slightly rather than fully cooked down, since the texture stays alive. If you like minari's distinct scent, try adjusting the doneness to your taste! ![Vertical shot of the minari platter on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-17-6o9am-900.webp) ![Pork skin placed on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-18-mekvz-900.webp) ### How chewy is the grilled pork skin? The pork skin at Hanpanjip had that distinctly chewy texture that's so appealing. Sometimes when eating meat you crave a texture different from the soft lean meat — that's when pork skin comes in! The bouncy chewiness you feel the more you chew gave a different kind of fun compared to the pork neck. If the pork neck wins with juicy, moist meat, the pork skin makes its presence known through chewy texture, haha. Getting to enjoy juicy pork neck and chewy pork skin's contrasting textures in one meal was great. If you usually like pork skin, this is not to be missed! ![Side dishes served with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-19-1ql62-900.webp) ## Side dishes and doenjang jjigae at Hanpanjip At a BBQ restaurant, it's not enough for just the meat to be good. When the side dishes and doenjang jjigae that come along with it are also tasty, satisfaction with the meal goes way up. At Hanpanjip, I liked the side dishes served with the meat too. They had banchan that paired well with the meat, so it was fun trying different combinations. Especially mixing in banchan between bites of meat refreshed my palate nicely. And of course, the doenjang jjigae! ![Doenjang jjigae served with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan/hanpanjip-changwon-gaeumjeong-minari-hanpan-20-16xbm-900.webp) After enjoying the rich flavor of the meat, taking a spoonful of warm doenjang jjigae felt so refreshing. Meat and doenjang jjigae really are a great match no matter when you eat them. The main dish, the minari platter, was delicious, but the sides and doenjang jjigae being just as satisfying made the meal feel even more filling. For a couple like us who likes places that put thought into everything served alongside the meat, not just the meat itself, this was a nice point too. ♡ ## Is the minari platter at Hanpanjip worth it? On this visit with my husband to Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch, we chose the minari platter. Being able to enjoy the meat's savoriness together with minari's fragrance was the biggest charm of this menu. Eating meat alone can feel a bit lacking sometimes, but with minari added, both the flavor and texture felt much more varied. - You can enjoy minari raw or lightly cooked, depending on your preference - Pork neck was juicy, not dry; pork skin had a chewy texture - Side dishes and doenjang jjigae also came along, making the meal filling If you love minari's distinctly fresh scent, the minari platter at Hanpanjip is worth checking out.

A menu I'd recommend to anyone who loves the combo of fragrant minari and savory meat! A day we enjoyed a hearty meat platter with my husband and left full and satisfied.
