Cheongsan Hoegwan 청산회관

Cheongsan Hoegwan is a charcoal-grilled lamb and Iberico pork specialist in Jinbu-myeon, Pyeongchang, with a loyal following of regulars who have been returning since at least 2021. Despite being a barbecue restaurant, the banchan arrives with the kind of care you would expect at a more refined Korean table, the pa-kimchi alone draws repeated praise. The lamb sirloin looks exceptional even before it hits the grill, and once cooked, it is remarkably tender with no trace of gamey odor, making it entirely approachable for first-time lamb eaters. The Iberico pork set menu covers multiple cuts, and the sausage is a standout side item. The accompanying doenjang jjigae has a deep, homestyle flavor, and the buckwheat jjamppong features chewy noodles in a refreshing broth that serves as an ideal meal closer. The charcoal setup produces minimal smoke, keeping the dining experience comfortable throughout the meal. The restaurant is a popular dinner destination for guests staying at nearby Kensington Hotel, ski resorts, and other accommodations in the area. Closing time is 9 PM, so confirming hours before visiting is advisable. There is no dedicated children's menu.
