Hapjeong pork neck BBQ: ₩55,000 pork set at Geumseong Hoegwan

Today I want to write about Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch, a great spot to visit when you're craving good meat in Hapjeong. There are so many good restaurants in Hapjeong that it's hard to decide where to go, but this time we headed to Geumseong Hoegwan, where you can enjoy both samgyeopsal (pork belly) and moksal (pork neck) together.

We ordered one of Geumseong Hoegwan's signature menus, the Dwaeji Hangeun Set. I usually like pork in general, but this time one cut really stood out to me — the moksal! Honestly, it might be the best moksal I've had recently. Such a satisfying meal. ❤️

So let me walk you through Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch's location, menu, prices, and how the Dwaeji Hangeun Set actually tasted.

🍖 What we ordered: the ₩55,000 Dwaeji Hangeun Set

This time we ordered the Dwaeji Hangeun Set. It's set up so you can enjoy moksal and bon-samgyeop together. I liked that instead of eating just one cut, you get to compare the flavors of two different cuts. When the meat arrives, of course the first thing you notice is the thickness and condition of the cuts.

Pork's texture and flavor really change depending on how it's grilled, so the grilling process felt important too. At Geumseong Hoegwan, staff grill the meat for you, so instead of worrying about the grill, you can focus on the meal and the conversation — that's honestly one of the best parts!

🥓 What comes with the Dwaeji Hangeun Set: pork belly and pork neck together

The advantage of the Dwaeji Hangeun Set is being able to try moksal and samgyeopsal together. Comparing different textures and flavors instead of sticking to just one cut makes the meal more enjoyable. It also felt like a convenient choice for a group where one person prefers samgyeopsal and another prefers moksal.

This seems especially useful for anyone in Hapjeong planning dinner with friends or a group gathering, looking for a menu that's good for sharing among several people.

⭐ The best moksal (pork neck) I've eaten recently

What I was most impressed with at this meal was the moksal. Usually when you go to a samgyeopsal restaurant, you expect the samgyeopsal to be the star. And yes, the samgyeopsal was delicious too, honestly it's hard to pick a winner between them 😋

Moksal can turn dry if it's grilled wrong, so it matters a lot when the meat's own flavor and texture come through well. This time's moksal was especially satisfying, and while eating it I kept thinking, 'this moksal is really good.'

Of course taste is subjective, but if you're someone who usually likes moksal, this is a menu worth checking out. If I visit again, I'd want to order the moksal all over again. 😊

💛 Final verdict on Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch

At Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch, the Dwaeji Hangeun Set let us enjoy moksal and samgyeopsal together. Personally, the moksal was what stuck with me the most — it might be the best moksal I've had recently, and this meal reminded me all over again how good moksal can be.

If you're looking for a place to eat samgyeopsal or moksal in Hapjeong, Geumseong Hoegwan Hapjeong Main Branch is worth adding to your list. Especially if you love moksal like I do, the Dwaeji Hangeun Set is a good way to enjoy both cuts at once. Next time I visit, I'll probably order the moksal again. 🥰
