About this spot
Pig Restaurant 2 in Itaewon specializes exclusively in pork belly (samgyeopsal), grilling thick slabs until the fat renders into savory drippings that you must sip directly from the pan. The tableside service is frantic and efficient, ensuring your meat hits the perfect medium-rare before it dries out. This spot captures the chaotic energy of Seoul's dining scene without sacrificing the quality of its charred pork.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a side of ssamjang (spicy dipping sauce) to mix with garlic and sesame oil for your final wraps.
- Ask for extra bean sprouts to place under the meat while it grills to prevent sticking and add crunch.
- Bring your own alcohol if you want to avoid the standard soju tab, as this is a cash-heavy environment.
