😋 The short version
We ordered pork belly and neck,
then added jowl
and skirt meat too,
and it was so good we nearly flipped
right off our chairs!
Kimchi stew comes with it,
the set for two is great value,
and the table setting is neat.

The sign reads Sunjin Pork Handon
(Handon = Korean-raised pork)
and “The moment of perfect taste,
made by time!”
The Sunjin Pork Handon Maillard sign
The top of the menu board says
’Premium dry-aged
Korean pork barbecue specialist’.
A sign further inside
lists the aging conditions:
dry aging, temperature 1℃,
humidity 75–85%
The MAILLARD neon sign, the vent pipes along the ceiling, and the dry-aging sign at the back
There’s even a poster on the wall:
‘What is the Maillard reaction?’
🥗 A neat table setting
A black divided tray
with shredded green onion, onion,
and four little wells
of salt, seasoning powder and sauces.
Lettuce, perilla leaves and chili peppers
come separately in a basket.

The side dishes come
one to each white compartment dish:
potato salad, pickled radish wraps,
a few pickles and seasoned greens,
and two dipping sauces.

🔥 It goes on in thick slabs
At first the meat goes on the grill
in thick slabs,
with kimchi, mushrooms, onion and potato
grilling alongside.
Thick meat just put on the grill, with kimchi and mushrooms
Once it was cooked,
we snipped it into bite-size pieces
with scissors as we went.
Cutting with scissors — the kimchi and seasoned greens grill too
Thick pieces
with pink centers
went on separately as well.

🍲 Kimchi stew and steamed egg
Kimchi stew comes too.
It has enoki mushrooms, tofu
and bok choy in it.

The steamed egg
in a ttukbaegi (earthenware pot)
came out puffed up high.

💰 The set for two is the deal
The wall menu — sets, meat and meals
By the menu’s own math,
the meat in the set for two is 48,000 won,
or 54,000 won with the stew,
but the set price is 49,000 won.
That’s why the set for two
felt like such good value.
Its meat alone is 48,000 won
yet with stew it's 49,000 won
📋 Menu & prices
Signature set for two 49,000 won
(belly 300 g + neck 150 g\
- your choice of kimchi or doenjang stew)

👍 Who this is for
✔ Anyone in Iksan looking for
a barbecue place for a family meal
✔ Anyone who wants to try
special cuts beyond belly and neck
✔ Anyone after a filling set for two
that comes with stew
We started with belly and neck
and went on to jowl and skirt —
a dinner the whole family shared.
A place we’d happily come back to!
