Changwon Korean BBQ restaurant with kitchen-grilled pork: Hanpanjip

A convenient Korean BBQ spot inside Gaeumjeong Market

Have you all heard the rumor that Changwon’s Gaeumjeong Market is packed with great food spots~? I visited Hanpanjip, a grilled-meat place that feels too good to keep to myself. The staff were kind and the meat was delicious too—this place really caught two rabbits at once!

Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch (한판집 창원가음점) is inside Gaeumjeong Market, with parking available in the market lot or at the public lot in front. It also welcomes groups, takes Naver reservations, and has high chairs.

With a full plate of minari (water dropwort) and rustic soybean-paste stew on the menu, it has all the delicious signals of a Gaeumjeong favorite!

Hanpanjip’s basic sides are wonderfully varied—shredded radish salad, dressed lettuce, myeonginamul (pickled garlic stems), pickled radish wraps, and more—so it’s fun to mix and match!

How to enjoy Hanpanjip deliciously

• Have the complimentary steamed egg while you wait for the meat.
• When the meat arrives, dip it into the six sauces in different combinations.
• Try the soybean-paste stew loaded with meat.
• Finish with plum drink or coffee—there you go!!

Hanpanjip’s six sauces are ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste), garlic salt, curry powder, teriyaki sauce, breadcrumbs, and ground sesame.

And!!! If you leave a Naver receipt review, you can get one free choice of heart-pounding, heart-pounding meat-loaded soybean-paste stew / cheese-loaded kimchi fried rice / a bottle of soju, so definitely join in~ 🫢

The complimentary steamed egg came out with a gentle sesame-oil aroma and lots of sesame seeds sprinkled over it!

It was soft like pudding, with that nutty sesame-oil aroma—ahh. This Gaeumjeong favorite gets even the steamed egg right from the start 🪽

A more comfortable Hanpan 600 g, grilled away from your table

Best of all, they don’t grill the meat at your table! They cook it right in front of the kitchen, which was so much more comfortable :) It’s perfect for a Changwon date when you don’t want to worry about oil splattering while grilling.

The Hanpan 600 g set includes pork belly, pork neck, and pork skin, and costs ₩39,900.

The meat was thick and glossy~ Dip the pork neck into sesame sauce, then into the breadcrumbs, and a nutty flavor spreads out—meat can taste like this?! I loved having six sauces to try so many different flavors!!

Pork neck with myeonginamul was so tender—and surely nobody doesn’t know the magic of meat with myeonginamul!!

There was pork skin too, so I tried it with curry powder. What more is there to say about that combo 💭 The pork skin came in bite-size pieces, wonderfully chewy, and with absolutely no off smell.

Pickled radish wrap + pork belly + wasabi: this is my favorite combination!! The spicy kick of wasabi and the tenderness of the meat go together so well, hehe.

They even serve green-onion kimchi as a basic side! Wrapped around pork neck, its crisp texture with that rich pork-neck flavor—ahh, it was delicious too 🥹🥹

Spicy soybean-paste rice and a plum dessert

This Gaeumjeong Market meat spot also makes a warming, spicy doenjang sulbap (soybean-paste rice soup) that is fantastic with drinks! The portion is generous, and I recommend the Hanpan 600 g plus doenjang sulbap for three people.

It is Hanpanjip, where you can enjoy a generous bowl full of ingredients like chili peppers, meat, and onions, haha.

When I was leaving, I saw that they provide dessert too! Your mouth feels a little heavy after meat, you know~ Hanpanjip offers plum drink or coffee, so I enjoyed the meal even more 🫧

That cool plum drink made my mouth feel refreshed and everything settle right down, haha.

If you are looking for a great Gaeumjeong spot in Changwon, I recommend Hanpanjip for comfortably enjoying meat grilled for you 🤍
