Jinbu Village in Uiwang: A Celebrity-Approved BBQ Experience with Stunning Views
Finally visited the famous Jinbu Village in Uiwang on a weekend!
With autumn arriving and the weather getting cooler, enjoying Korean BBQ at an outdoor table with a maple-leaf view is a must.
As soon as I walked in, I was surprised by the photos and autographs on the wall. Celebrities like actors, singers, and comedians have visited, which is practically a guarantee of deliciousness!
I even took a photo in front of the autograph wall before heading in. The day I visited, they were also having a promotion to revitalize the local economy.
One unique thing is that you can buy side dishes in advance. There's a separate corner selling sausage, pickled garlic leaves, fresh wasabi, pickled radish wraps, mushrooms, and more, so you can grab them before ordering your meat and enjoy them right away.
Another feature of Jinbu Village is the outdoor dining area. When you order meat, you sit outside. Grilling over charcoal in an open space means less smoke and a breezy atmosphere, making it much more pleasant.
The hall is spacious and can accommodate group reservations of up to 100 people, making it perfect for company dinners or family gatherings. I'm planning to bring my parents next time.
The indoor space was clean and large, but grilling meat with charcoal outside has a real charm. The cool breeze, the sound of grilling meat, the smoky aroma, and the natural breeze equaled pure happiness.
The smoke from grilling went out into the open, so it wasn't overwhelming. We ordered Premium Rib Finger Meat (125,000 won / 500g) and Premium Sirloin (95,000 won / 500g).
We hesitated for a moment, but one bite and you understand immediately. The meat is juicy, with a subtle smoky charcoal flavor that makes it even more savory as you chew.
The people at the next table were all saying, "Wow, this is so good!"
And the pork was just as amazing. We had Korean Pork Shoulder (28,000 won / 500g), which was chewy and savory. It seems they're confident in both their beef and pork.
They cook the ramen for you, and after eating meat, the ramen is the perfect ending!
The table setting was incredibly neat. Chopsticks and paper cups were neatly arranged and readily available, and everything was organized by type, which was pleasing to the eye.
You could enjoy your own combination of gochujang (Korean chili paste), soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil. Another attractive feature is the self-serve side dish bar! You can bring as much of the basic side dishes as you need. It's great because you don't have to waste any, and you can pick what you want.
We went back for seconds!
