Ttukbangjip in Cheongju: charcoal gochujang pork with ssam bar wraps
Ttukbangjip is a Korean restaurant right by Musimcheon stream in Sajik-dong, Cheongju. Two orders of charcoal gochujang pork came with kimchi noodle soup and a bowl of rice, and piling on wrap greens from the self-serve bar with green onion salad made the combo shine. The charcoal aroma is strong without any burnt taste, making it a great pick for anyone chasing that old-school charcoal-grill flavor.
