How to Order
Get a number ticket at the entrance — this restaurant is popular and often has a queue. Once seated, staff will turn on the grill. Order 2+ servings of meat (1 serving is not enough for the grill). Staff will cook the first batch for you. Wrap meat in lettuce with garlic, ssamjang sauce, and a slice of grilled kimchi. Side dishes and stew refills are free. Pay at the counter when done.
Hanam Pig House (하남돼지집) is one of Korea's most celebrated pork BBQ franchise chains, founded in June 2010 in a tiny 40-square-meter shop in Hanam City by entrepreneur Jang Bo-hwan.
Earning the tagline 'Korea's Standard for Samgyeopsal,' it has grown to over 200 locations nationwide with international expansion to Malaysia, Thailand, and Mongolia.
What truly sets it apart is the signature 열탄불 (hot charcoal fire) grilling method — staff pre-sear the meat at approximately 450°C before finishing it at your table on a distinctive slanted grill that drains excess fat for a crispier, cleaner result.
Unlike most Korean BBQ restaurants, trained staff handle everything from grilling to cutting, making it ideal for first-timers.
The restaurant's signature 명이나물 (pickled wild garlic leaf) wraps add a unique flavor found nowhere else.
Most locations operate from evening until late night.
Popular tourist-area branches include Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Dongdaemun.
A typical meal for two costs around 55,000–75,000 KRW ($40–55 USD).
The brand uses exclusively certified Korean pork (한돈) and has been consistently ranked among Korea's top franchise brands for over a decade.
