Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Bonjeom 참돼짓간 종로본점

Located near Jongno 3-ga Station, this pork BBQ restaurant uses a distinctive dual-heat grilling system combining charcoal and gas. The house specialty involves grilling domestic pork cuts, including black pork ogyeopsal, moksal, and Boseong green tea samgyeopsal, on a central grill while minari (water parsley), kimchi, and bean sprouts cook naturally in the rendered pork fat around the edges. Staff handle all the grilling tableside, ensuring each cut reaches its ideal doneness without requiring any effort from diners. The specially designed grill plate minimizes oil splatter, keeping clothes relatively odor-free, a notable advantage over typical Korean BBQ experiences. Side offerings include kkwarigochu peppers and mushroom wasabi, and meals typically end with mul-naengmyeon or fried rice to close out the spread. The restaurant operates from daytime through 11 PM, giving it versatility as both a lunch spot and a late-evening gathering place, and accepts reservations through Catch Table. Its location directly at Exit 2-1 of Jongno 3-ga Station provides excellent accessibility, and even on cold weekday nights, the restaurant stays packed while surrounding streets are quiet, clear evidence of its drawing power among locals and regulars.
