Jukjeon Yeojanggun Bonjeom 죽전 여장군 본점

Jukjeon Yeojanggun Bonjeom is a pork special-cuts restaurant tucked in an alley near Jukjeon Station in Suji-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. The restaurant exclusively handles off-cut pork parts, no samgyeopsal, grilled over beonggaetan charcoal briquettes at the table. Diners can order from a selection including galmaegi-sal, hangjeong-sal, dwitmok-sal, ppolsal, ansal, agusal, and hyeomitsal in 300-gram portions, with the option to create mixed platters across multiple cuts. Galmaegi-sal grilled over the briquettes turns chewy while shedding excess oil for a clean finish, and hyeomitsal, despite its visible white fat content, surprises with a soft, buttery richness that qualifies as a genuine delicacy. The seasoned meats develop deeper flavor over the live charcoal, and the pepper soy marinade exercises enough restraint to let the pork character speak. Wednesdays and Saturdays are butchering days, making fresh yukhoe and yuksashimi available at 13,000 won. The pajeori is notably delicious, and the bibim-guksu pairs excellently with the grilled meats. Kimchi-jjigae at 5,000 won outperforms its price considerably. The most distinctive quirk of this establishment is that it does not sell rice. Diners who want rice must purchase instant rice packs from a nearby convenience store, with a microwave available on-site for heating. Shaking soju bottles before pouring creates a slushy texture, a nostalgic touch that recalls college-era drinking culture. The clientele skews young, and the staff proactively handle sauce and garlic refills along with grill-plate changes without being asked. Pricing sits at approximately 13,000 won per 300 grams, delivering outstanding value, with half-portions of 150 grams available for 7,000 won. Parking is possible directly in front but space is limited, so early arrival is advised. Service begins at 3:30 PM.
