Experience sharing
I have eaten a lot of barbecue in Cheongju, but 삼남매삼겹살 is the one I am most satisfied with and will visit the most. There is no fancy decoration or exaggerated plating here, but only "authentic Korean three-layer meat" that makes people can't stop eating one bite after another.
The first visit was at 7 o'clock on a weekday evening. The store was still full of guests, and there was even a queue at the door. After taking a seat, I ordered their signature thick-cut pork belly. The staff skillfully flipped the meat slices on the iron net, and the sizzling sound was appetizing. After being roasted, it was cut into small pieces. When you take a bite, the meat aroma and gravy burst in your mouth instantly. The outer layer is crispy and the inner layer is tender. There is no fishy smell or greasy feeling at all. It is really amazing!
What I like most is the side dishes: the acidity of kimchi is just right, which is especially refreshing when wrapped with meat; the garlic slices are roasted crispy, and the combination of onion shreds and special sauce is simply a soul combination. You can feel the change of taste level with every bite, which makes people eat more and more energetic. I especially recommend their pig skin, which is roasted Q-elastic and not greasy, and it is a perfect match with beer.
The overall service is also worthy of praise. Although there are many customers, the staff is still friendly, and the refilling and changing of the net are also quite fast, which makes people feel no pressure at all when eating. The environment is clean and not greasy, and you will not be full of barbecue smell after eating, which is really important for people who often eat barbecue.
In summary, 삼남매삼겹살 is the kind of BBQ restaurant where you will know why people come back after eating once. If you happen to be traveling in Cheongju, or want to experience the daily dinner delicacies of locals, this restaurant is definitely worth putting on your list. A thick-cut pork belly with lettuce and a cold drink is the most delicious rhythm of a Korean night.
