Tapgol Gongwon Jongno 3-ga-jeom
탑골공원 종로3가점 Tapgol Gongwon is Tapgol Park, the public park whose east gate the restaurant sits beside; the shop simply borrows the park's name, and Jongno 3-ga-jeom marks the Jongno 3-ga branch.

Tapgol Park Jongno 3-ga is a frozen-pork-belly grill near Exit 5 of Jongno 3-ga Station. Every table sits outdoors in the alley by the east gate of Tapgol Park, the park it takes its name from. Frozen pork belly is 18,000 won a portion, and the Tapgol Set (one portion each of belly, pork neck and duck breast) is 55,000 won. One couple paid 46,000 won for two portions of belly with doenjang stew, rice and a cola. Another paid 57,000 won for two portions with kimchi fried rice, steamed egg and two bottles of soju. It opens at 17:00 every day. We read 31 posts dated 25 September to 15 October 2026. We set aside 12 as being about other places, mostly Chowon Sikdang across the alley, and 19 come from people who actually went.

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
- All seating is at tables out on the street. Fifteen posts describe sitting outside. One says there are no tables indoors at all, and another that the inside holds only the kitchen and the self-serve bar. Tables seat four, so one post warns that larger groups who come late can end up split apart. Another wondered whether tables are even allowed on a walkway like that. No post says what happens in bad weather or winter.
- Expect to wait. Seventeen posts mention queuing. The recorded waits are 35 minutes on a Tuesday, 30 minutes at 6 pm on a weekday, about an hour on a Friday at 6 pm with 20 parties ahead, and 75 minutes on a Saturday (69 parties ahead at 6:01, seated at 7:16). One diner arrived at 16:20 for the 17:00 opening and was third in line. Others counted 79 and 86 parties waiting as they left. You sign up on a tablet outside the shop. Two posts note there are no reservations or remote sign-ups, though people did get their call through an app (Payhere or Catchtable). Three posts say a second row of tables goes out around 6 pm, which made the line move faster than expected.
- Once you sit down, a tray or basket of banchan arrives. Several posts list kimchi, green-onion kimchi, seasoned bean sprouts, bracken, squid jeotgal, ssamjang, garlic and chilies. Twelve posts say they went back for more at the self-serve bar inside. Two note that lettuce isn't brought to the table, so they fetched it there. Cutlery, glasses and wet wipes are kept in a basket beside each table.
- Four posts say meals are capped at 90 minutes on weekends and public holidays, and one notes the rule is printed on the menu. A weekday diner said they ate without worrying about the clock. We did not count posts that only copied the rule from an info box or passed it on as hearsay.

Two posts say there is no parking, and one of them points to the public lot under Nakwon Arcade. A third only says parking is hard and suggests public transport. Info boxes reading 'no parking' that were just copied are not counted. Five posts put the walk from Exit 5 of Jongno 3-ga Station at 2–5 minutes. Nobody describes getting there by bus.

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
5 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 19 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Separate restrooms | 1 of 19 posts |
No post describes the floor from experience. The address says ground floor and the seating is on the street, but nobody mentions whether there are any steps on the way in.
No post says whether a wheelchair or stroller can reach the tables or whether there are kerbs. That means we don't know, not that access is clear. One post found the gaps between alley tables narrow.
One post says the toilet is not inside the shop but across the way, and easy to get to. Another found it clean and separated by gender, with just one stall each, so there was a short wait. No post mentions an accessible toilet.
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.

What we do not know
- Opinions on price split two against two. Two posts found it pricey for what you get, calling it a charge for the setting. Two found it reasonable for a street-side grill. On portions, two found them generous and one disappointing, while one was surprised how light the plate felt but left full.
- Four posts were written by people who came with friends and two by couples. One mentions bringing a child, but nobody says whether there are high chairs.
- Ten posts list the hours as 17:00–01:00 every day, but all of them copied it from an info box. None gives a last order time or a closing day, and we don't know what happens once the weather turns cold.
- Six posts give the phone number as 0507-1313-5162, and one gives 02-742-5190 instead. Two posts say there are no reservations, only the on-site waitlist.
- Every post we read dates from late September to mid-October 2026, shortly after opening. One calls it a brand-new street grill. In one post, staff said they also run Chowon Sikdang across the alley and sent the diners there. We counted only that post's wait, not the food eaten next door. Five posts share the same hashtags and title phrasing, which suggests they were written to an assigned keyword list. None discloses sponsorship, and each has first-hand details such as times, queue numbers and prices, so we kept them in the counts.
