Dukkeopsam Myeongdong Jikyeongjeom
두껍삼 명동직영점 Dukkeopsam is a play on 'dukkeoun samgyeopsal', thick pork belly — the chain's name for its thick-cut aged pork.
Compiled from 14 blog posts read in fullSources →
A large pork-belly house on the ground floor of the Sunshine Building on Myeongdong 8ga-gil, near exits 8 and 9 of Myeongdong station. The house dish is baekmisam — aged pork belly with washed aged kimchi and minari, 23,000 won per 150g — and staff grill it for you from start to finish. Two portions plus doenjang stew (4,000 won) and rice (1,000 won) come to 51,000 won for two. There is also a lunch menu. We read 15 posts from December 2024 to August 2026; one was about a café in Euljiro and was set aside, leaving 14 visits. One of those was a sponsored tasting, and one says the writer paid.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Staff do all the grilling: 13 of the 14 visits say so. Several posts describe the same sequence — rice cakes and potatoes first, then minari spread on the grill with the finished meat piled on top — and some mention the griller working to a timer.
- The room is big: 12 of the 14 visits say so. One writer counted about 41 tables, another more than 30 four-seat tables; the floor is split into zones marked on the ground. Several posts mention partitions between tables, and two mention a large private room.
- Every table has a wireless phone charger, mentioned in six posts — one writer says it actually worked. Several note that the bench seats open up to store coats and bags; two say you order on a table tablet, and several mention a serving robot.
- Five posts mention a separate waiting area at the entrance, and five say they booked ahead and were seated straight away, with side dishes already laid out.
2 more
- Seven posts say the belly is as thick as the name promises, scored diagonally because of it; one says two portions looked small but filled two people. Many also say smoke is drawn down or sideways, so clothes did not smell afterwards.
- Four posts say many of the other diners were foreign tourists; the August 2026 sponsored post adds that staff spoke foreign languages and there was a foreign-language menu.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
8 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 2 (of 14 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 1 of 14 posts |
Two posts say the restaurant is on the ground floor.
No one wrote about a step at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access. That means we don't know, not that there is a problem.
Only one post says from experience that the toilet is inside the restaurant; separate men's and women's toilets appear only in copied info blocks, which we did not count.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know
- No one wrote about queuing; the posts that mention waiting all booked ahead. We don't know how long a walk-in waits.
- Few posts say who they came with: one with family, one on a date, none clearly with friends. Many recommend it for work dinners, but none describes going for one.
- All opening hours are copied from listings and differ slightly. Five posts from February to April 2025 agree on 11:00–22:30 weekdays, 11:30–22:30 weekends, a 15:00–17:00 break and last orders at 22:00; one August 2026 post alone gives a 22:00 close with last orders at 14:30 and 21:00. Check current hours with the restaurant.
- Prices held steady from December 2024 to August 2026: baekmisam 23,000 won, doenjang stew 4,000 won. Only baekmihang differs — one post says 23,000 won, three say 27,000. One post says it is not cheap.
- Eight posts give the phone number as 02-888-3592; one gives a different number. Several booked through Naver. The free-wine-for-bookings offer is the restaurant's own promotion, and we did not treat it as evidence.
- Many posts from February to April 2025 end with the same five hashtags in the same order and follow the same outline — two portions of baekmisam, doenjang stew, the booking promotion. They may be commissioned. We counted them because the orders and seats differ, but praise from that period should be read with that in mind.
