이림회관 Hoegwan means a hall or meeting house, an old-fashioned word Korean restaurants use in their names; the posts do not explain what Irim means.

A pork barbecue spot on Supyo-ro 117 in Jongno, in the side street off Jongno 3-ga Station exit 5. People grill pork belly, jowl, skirt and neck cap on foil-lined plates at tables set out on the pavement, and every cut costs 16,000 won per 160 g. You order and pay through a QR code stuck to the cutlery box, and fetch extra side dishes from a self-serve corner inside. We read 22 posts dated from 15 October 2025 to 9 October 2026. Eighteen describe a visit, two were about other restaurants and set aside, and two only list the name. Every visit post dates from April 2026 onward.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.
What sets it apart
- Seventeen of the 18 visit posts sat at the outdoor tables in front. Posts counted roughly twelve two-person tables in May and eight tables in April. Spacing is disputed: three posts found the tables cramped, one saying there was barely room for a bag, while two found them well spaced. Three posts called the indoor room large, and one noted seats were free inside when the pavement was full. Two warned that the outdoor tables have no cooling, so hot days are hard going.
- Thirteen posts ordered through the QR code on the cutlery box, paying up front with KakaoPay each time. Most liked not having to flag down staff; one found paying in advance for every round a nuisance.
- Ten posts topped up side dishes at the self-serve corner: shredded scallion, kimchi, bean sprouts, lettuce and pickled onion. One post noted the enoki mushrooms are only at the self-serve corner, and another that they are unlimited. Several suggested grilling the kimchi and bean sprouts in the pork fat.
- Five posts waited and one did not. One waited about 20 minutes at 10 pm on a Saturday; another queued behind two groups on a Saturday evening; a third got in quickly behind one group on a Friday evening. Two posts sat down without waiting around 5 pm at the weekend, and one of them saw a queue forming by 6:30. Many posts came here to escape the long lines on the nearby pojangmacha street.

- Three posts said the meat had no off smell. One post differed: it found the pork in the kimchi stew smelled strongly, thought the cold noodles far too sweet, and said it would not return.

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
3 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Toilet inside | 1 of 18 posts |
|---|---|
| Separate restrooms | 1 of 18 posts |
No post described the floor from experience; only the address says ground floor. Several did mention the outdoor tables sit right by the pavement.
Nobody mentioned a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. That means we don't know, not that there is a problem.
Customers can use the restaurant's own toilet. One post noted it is indoors, and another that the women's toilet sits behind the men's with just one stall. A third chose this place over the street stalls partly because the toilet was clean.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 20 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Three posts said from experience that it is close to the subway, about a five-minute walk from Jongno 3-ga Station, or near Jongno 5-ga exit 5. Distances such as 70 m or three minutes from exit 5 appear in copied info blocks, and we did not count them. No post mentioned taking a bus.
- Eight posts gave opening hours, all copied and not in agreement. Posts from April and May 2026 had Sunday to Thursday 11:00 to midnight and Friday and Saturday until 02:00. From mid-May, posts list a 01:00 close, some with 02:00 on Thursday to Saturday or every day. Last orders are given as 00:30, 01:30 or 23:30. Check before you go.
- Meat cost 16,000 won per 160 g in every post from April to October 2026; kimchi stew and cold noodles were 10,000 won, and beef brisket 18,000 won per 120 g. No post gave a total bill for the meal. One said the price was not good value for the amount, and another wondered whether it was simply the premium for sitting outside.
- Four posts copied the phone number 070-8882-7745. Only one post's info block says reservations are taken, and nobody booked. One post had heard that only pairs may sit outside and that side dishes cannot be ordered Friday to Sunday; two other posts sat outside as groups of four.
- No post mentioned bringing children. Most went with friends (eight posts); one went as a larger group and one with a spouse.
