A spacious setting for groups and family meals

Inside Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang Chungbuk Okcheon Branch. It is very spacious, so it can accommodate group diners too!

There are private rooms as well, so you can enjoy your meal privately. There is a kids' zone off to one side; since Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang gets lots of families, they thoughtfully made room for one.

It is a playroom where children can run around, complete with arcade games and a claw machine!! I think kids would absolutely love it 😀

Ordering the 500 g half-pig set

The Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang menu. We ordered the 500 g half-pig set! At 500 g, it is enough for two adults, and I think ₩37,000 is a very good price 🐷

Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang's basic side dishes. We were so hungry that we cleared out the banchan (Korean side dishes) before the meat even arrived,,

Green-onion salad with chewy noodles and unlimited doenjang jjigae

Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang's pa-chae (seasoned green-onion salad) is special because it has chewy jjolmyeon noodles in it too? And the doenjang jjigae (soybean-paste stew) comes with unlimited refills!! That was my favorite part 👍 If the staff notice you are running low on doenjang jjigae, they come right over and top it up—such great service.

A juicy half-pig set, starting with pork neck

The rosy-red half-pig set. It includes pork neck, pork belly, pork jowl, and gabrisal.

My partner grilling it all up so nicely. Since he married a wife who loves meat, his grilling skills have improved by leaps and bounds haha.

Nom nom nom, the beautifully grilled meat. I think pork is most tender and bursts with juice when the inside is cooked just slightly pink. My partner handed me a piece of pork neck and said to try it right then—my first bite was seriously insane.... A. MASSIVE. JUICE. EXPLOSION.⭐️ When meat is this good, I am a purist every time: just dip it in salt.

Oh my, when the meat is this delicious, how can I not have soju~~ Sorry, honey, but I am drinking it all by myself today >.< How is every single thing at Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang so tasty? ⭐️Aged meat is the best⭐️

Hmm, I would feel let down if I did not have at least one ssam (leaf wrap), so I had a bite.

My plate piled high with meat,, th-thank you..!!! For taking such good care of me haha. I guess I must have been eating that deliciously.

A completely empty-bowl ending. It was so delicious that I just inhaled it,, Hanmaeum is love,,🤍 The whole time we ate, my partner and I kept saying, “Mmm~~ so good~!~!~!” I think Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang's meat really is our favorite 😀

Why Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang's aged meat was so good

Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang is always delicious, and I am so happy there is one in Okcheon too,, Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang was the first in Korea to have its German aging technology certified. They say the meat goes through two 144-hour aging processes at low temperatures, then is trimmed in-house before reaching diners' tables to preserve its finest flavor and natural taste!

With this much care put into it, the meat cannot help but be delicious,, It was truly moist, tender, and bursting with juice—it had it all, it had it all~!~!~! And that wraps up our very satisfying visit to Hanmaeum Jeongyuk Sikdang Chungbuk Okcheon Branch, an Okcheon meat restaurant ⭐️
