The signature pork platter: 600g for 49,000 won

The signature menu item at Jjaengbanjip8292 Sinchon is, hands down, the pork platter. At 600g for ₩49,000, it lets you enjoy four cuts at once — pork belly, pork neck, pork jowl, and a special cut. Rather than ordering each cut separately, you get to try a variety of cuts evenly, and I heard it's especially popular for larger Sinchon dinner groups, so I gave it a try.

First, the side dishes get set up like this.

The side dishes that pair well with the meat show up first.

There was also a nice variety of wrap vegetables prepared, which made eating more fun.

There's a good variety of dipping sauces too. And for anyone who struggles with adjusting the grill, there's a timer set up at each table.

How pork belly, neck, jowl and the special cut compared

The pork belly is sliced thick, so the juiciness really comes through when grilled, and the pork jowl has beautiful marbling that gets more savory the more you chew. The special cut had a strong chewy texture, pairing well as a drinking snack. Being able to taste all four cuts on one plate made ordering easy without any menu agonizing.

I first grilled up the pork belly, pork neck, pork jowl, and kkodeulsal (chewy pork cartilage) together since I wanted to try them all.

You can see how thick the pork belly is — not the thin, lackluster kind, but thick and genuinely tasty.

Rather than just summing it all up as "delicious," what stood out to me was how clearly the texture differed from cut to cut.

Doenjang jjigae for 5,000 won

For ₩5,000, the portion is substantial. The broth had mushrooms, tofu, and a few chunks of meat in it. It wasn't too salty and had a savory broth, good for sipping between bites of meat.
