I think it'd also be great for anyone nearby wanting a hearty, filling meal. ![Exterior of Sarangjip in front of Ajou University, Suwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-02-1urgt-900.webp) ![View around the entrance of Sarangjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-03-1tfvu-900.webp) ### Inside Sarangjip: retro dining room and open-air seats by the door The interior has a retro look, and since the front door was left open we sat near the entrance for that open-air vibe haha. It was so nice and breezy~~ ![Sarangjip's retro interior with the front door left open](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-04-o9ch2-900.webp) ### Where to park at Sarangjip in Suwon For anyone driving, take note!

There were also plenty of highball options. Above all, the fact that the signature pork kimchi grill is only ₩19,000 already gives off that great university-area value. ![Table setting at Sarangjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-11-nae1r-m-900.webp) ### Pregnancy badge and review event perks at Sarangjip Also, if you show a pregnancy badge at Sarangjip, they'll give you a free egg stew. Worth remembering if that applies to you~!! They were also running an SNS post event and a receipt review event, where you can get either a free drink or fried rice! ![Sarangjip's event announcement post](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-12-7a5pv-900.webp) ## Free refills on Sarangjip's side dishes The basic side dishes that came out were pretty generous too. They serve corn salad, mayonnaise, ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste), perilla leaves, bean sprout soup, and pickled radish — and all of these are refillable!! The perilla leaves in particular were in great shape! No bug-eaten marks or spoiled bits, which I really liked👍 ![Sarangjip's basic side dishes, perilla leaves and corn salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-13-1deys-900.webp) ## Pork kimchi grill for 19,000 won, flame-kissed on arrival Finally, the pork kimchi grill we ordered arrived, and the visuals alone made my mouth water🤤 What I loved most was that it comes already cooked with that smoky fire flavor!! ![Sarangjip's pork kimchi grill, served already fire-grilled](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-14-14naf-900.webp) There's a portable burner on the table, so once the food arrives you can turn on a low flame and eat it warm. It was also great not having to wait to grill the meat from scratch — you can dig in right away. ![Pork kimchi grill pan set on the portable burner](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-15-1brhg-900.webp) The dish has pork, kimchi, and onion all together, and the subtle smoky flavor blended really well with the tangy kimchi and the savory pork. ![Pork, kimchi, and onion mixed together in the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-16-1m5ol-900.webp) ![A piece of pork kimchi grill lifted with tongs](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-17-1are9-900.webp) ### The owner's perilla leaf wrap combo They recommended not just eating the meat plain, but wrapping the perilla leaf with kimchi, onion, and the pork kimchi grill, then adding mayonnaise, ssamjang, and garlic. I tried it exactly that way and it was definitely delicious😍 The distinct aroma of the perilla leaf, the spicy-tangy kimchi, the smoky meat, and the smooth mayo all combined — the flavor really comes alive in one wrap! ![Perilla leaf wrap topped with pork kimchi grill and mayonnaise](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-18-14hk8-1200.webp) ## Bomb-sized steamed egg custard for 3,000 won And the side dish I personally loved the most was the egg stew. ![Sarangjip's bomb-sized egg stew, puffed up on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-19-5ptm6-900.webp) Such a steal for ₩3,000!! It caught my eye right away for being that bomb-style egg stew, puffed up plump on top and looking so appetizing. When I scooped it up with a spoon, the egg was soft and moist, and it went great alongside the pork kimchi grill. ![Soft egg stew scooped up with a spoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-20-192yr-900.webp) Since the kimchi grill has that smoky, spicy kick, eating a bit of egg stew in between mellows out the flavor nicely! Between the two of us, with one main dish plus rice and egg stew, the portion turned out to be surprisingly a lot. ![A full spread of pork kimchi grill, rice, and egg stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-21-tin0q-900.webp) ![The whole table shared between two people at Sarangjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-22-1esd5-900.webp) ## Tablet refills and finishing with self-serve fried rice Partway through, we used the tablet to order refills of sweet corn and perilla leaves hahaha. Actually at first I thought about ordering fried rice too, but after already eating the pork kimchi grill, rice, and egg stew, I was already completely full lol. ![Sweet corn and perilla leaf refills ordered via tablet](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-23-z657q-900.webp) So instead of ordering fried rice separately, we made our own self-fried rice with the leftover rice. We mixed the remaining pork kimchi grill, kimchi, and sauce into the rice, and it turned out way more delicious than expected lol. The seasoning from the kimchi grill itself pairs so well with rice, so frying it up at the end made for the perfect finish. ![Self-made kimchi fried rice using the leftover sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg-24-1nvfy-900.webp) If you're looking for a pork kimchi grill spot near Ajou University that's budget-friendly and filling, I recommend Sarangjip! ## Where it is - Sarangjip (사랑집) - 18-7 1F, Ajuro 39beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 아주로39번길 18-7 1층 - 37.2788546, 127.042722 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%AC%EB%9E%91%EC%A7%91/@37.2788546,127.042722,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-rice-stops-2/sarangjip-ajou-pork-kimchi-grill-steamed-egg/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
