About
Lively Yangpyeong-dong spot serving generous platters of charcoal-grilled pork specialty cuts and offal with seasoned spring onions.
A short walk from Yangpyeong Station in Yeongdeungpo, Janggunjip Yangpyeongdong Main Branch sits on a street corner behind a weathered, straightforward storefront. Inside, circular stainless steel tables and overhead exhaust vents set an unfussy tone, keeping the focus entirely on charcoal smoke and seasoned off-cuts (*busok gogi*). It is an enduring neighborhood staple that fills quickly, drawing evening crowds willing to wait for a stool. The kitchen specializes in generous 600-gram platters of pork cuts and offal. First-timers often opt for the Meat Assortment (*Gogi Modeum*) or Special Assortment (*Modeum Special*), which bundle cuts like skirt meat (*galmaegisal*), cheek meat (*bbolsal*), pork neck, and crunchy nape meat (*deolmisal*). The Special Pork Rind (*Special Kkeopdegi*) variant folds chewy rinds into the mix. Because the meats arrive lightly marinated, they require vigilant turning over the live coals to prevent scorching. The house ritual centers around the fresh scallions piled atop every meat platter. Diners rake the sliced leeks into foil trays set directly on the grill grates, dousing them liberally in the shop's tangy red pepper sauce. As the scallions wilt and stew in the spicy-tart glaze over the embers, they become a jammy relish that balances the char and fat of each cut. Tables receive a basic spread of kimchi, pickled onions, and a complimentary bubbling pot of doenjang jjigae. To finish, order the cold kimchi-mari guksu. Its chilled, briny broth and springy noodles cut through the richness of the charcoal-roasted pork, providing a sharp, cooling contrast to an evening spent huddled over the smoke.

- Grill the accompanying green onions in foil with chili sauce and pair them with the meat.
- Meat is pre-marinated, so turn it frequently over the charcoal to avoid burning.
- Kimchi cold noodles (Kimchi-mari-guksu) make a refreshing side pairing.
