â–²Location: 125, Sanseong-ro, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do
▲Business hours: 16:00 — 06:00 every day
â–²Price: Aged raw pork belly 11,000 won, aged raw shoulder meat 12,000 won
▲Review (red dot pattern): Obong Sangkai is located next to Subak in Geumcheon-dong. I visited without saying that it was a new samgyeopsal restaurant. The big sign really stands out, and I also liked the words “Life is meat to meat†written on it lol lol I ordered raw pork belly, but what is certain is that it doesn't have a delicious flavor, but the flavor is richer. The picture of the pig on the ham was also really annoying; I tried cold noodles and ate them like pork wrapped cold noodles, which hurt 2 servings per person.
