We shared black pork ogyeopsal, moksal, steamed egg, fried rice, and Cass beer for 50,000 won. Verdict: a wonderfully filling date-night meal with seriously good pork. ## Good to know - **Black pork ogyeopsal**: 160g, ₩19,000 - **Black pork moksal**: 160g, ₩18,000 - **Steamed egg**: ₩5,000 - **Fried rice**: ₩3,000 - **Cass beer**: ₩5,000 - **Order total**: ₩50,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ![Representative photo of Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-01-1wj21-1200.webp) ## A cool evening, a meat date in Jongno Whenever the evening is especially cool and pleasant, I think first of lively outdoor-style tables where you can grill meat amid the fresh air, rather than a stuffy indoor restaurant, haha. To shake off the fatigue that had built up over the workweek and enjoy some delicious meat and beer with my boyfriend for a cozy date night, we made plans in Jongno. Jongno is practically the holy ground of outdoor drinking tables, isn't it? After intensely searching among countless barbecue spots for one with great-quality meat and the right atmosphere, I found Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch (참돼짓간 종로본점)! It isn't actually an outdoor table spot, but it really is a proper meat restaurant! ![Visit to Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-02-xg5s8-900.webp) To be honest and start with the conclusion... this isn't a place that merely imitates a nice atmosphere. The black pork's juices and the meat quality itself were so excellent that my boyfriend and I kept saying, “Wow, this place is the real deal,” haha. It is near Jongno 3-ga Station, so it is perfectly located for a leisurely walk after getting off the subway. The staff grill the meat for you, and they do it so well! It is a perfect fit for setting the mood on a date, too. ![Korean BBQ date atmosphere near Jongno 3-ga](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-03-uw445-900.webp) ![Inside Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-04-1rub1-900.webp) ## The black pork and sides we ordered for two We ordered a nice variety of the best dishes so that the two of us could eat well and feel nicely full! - Black pork ogyeopsal (five-layer pork belly, 160g): ₩19,000 - Black pork moksal (pork neck, 160g): ₩18,000 - Steamed egg: ₩5,000 - Fried rice: ₩3,000 - Cass beer: ₩5,000 - ₩50,000 worth of happiness in total! ![Black pork and side dish order](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-05-7lhg8-900.webp) ![Black pork meal order receipt](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-06-1svym-900.webp) As soon as we ordered, the neatly arranged side dishes were set out and the thick, bright-red black pork arrived. Even its color looked exceptionally fresh, haha. ![Side dishes and thick-cut black pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-07-1fuu6-900.webp) ![Bright-red black pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-08-9ibkf-900.webp) ## Chewy ogyeopsal and juicy moksal We put the thick cuts onto the hot grill and started cooking them, and the sizzling sound came with an irresistible savory aroma! ![Black pork grilling on the tabletop grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-09-14mh1-900.webp) My boyfriend grilled everything perfectly crisp outside and tender inside, so I tried a piece of the black pork ogyeopsal first. The skin was wonderfully chewy, while the meat burst with tender juices and filled my mouth with umami ㅠㅠ The moksal was steak-like—juicy and tender, with not even a hint of dryness—so it was delicious even with just a little dip in salt. A gulp of cold Cass beer made it the perfect, seriously flawless combination to wash away a whole week's fatigue! ![Grilled black pork paired with beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-10-64y1u-900.webp) The moksal was steak-like—juicy and tender, with not even a hint of dryness—so it was delicious even with just a little dip in salt.

We left a little savory pork fat on the grill, made crisp nurungji (scorched rice) across the bottom, and scraped it all up. We finished our meal perfectly, rubbing our full bellies. For exactly ₩50,000, we enjoyed a very satisfying full course of black pork, sides, and beer, haha. ![Finishing with steamed egg and fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-14-1pto5-900.webp) ![Crispy scorched-rice fried rice on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-15-ye3ao-900.webp) I totally recommend Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch to anyone looking for a romantic outdoor-table-style date in the cool breeze near Jongno 3-ga Station, or for a truly high-quality black pork barbecue restaurant!!! ![The end of a black pork meal near Jongno 3-ga](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-pork-date/jongno-black-pork-date-16-acwqv-900.webp) But looking at it again, haha, it is so amazing that we ordered exactly ₩50,000 worth of food. ## Where it is - Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch (참돼짓간 종로본점) (참돼짓간 종로본점) - 1 Donhwamun-ro 5ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 돈화문로5가길 1 피카디리 cgv극장 1층 1-89호 - 37.5710346, 126.9912405 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B0%B8%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%93%EA%B0%84%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5710346,126.9912405,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@warm-cup-diary/jongno-black-pork-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
