Pork80's menu had plenty of options too, from Nanchuk Matdon to raw ribs and seasoned ribs. We decided to try the Nanchuk Matdon plate. There were also lots of side dishes and meal options, so we'd already picked out a dessert menu for after the meat too ^^ For an evening drink, with highballs, draft beer, and even traditional liquor in the lineup, it seems like it'd make for a fun drinking session too ☆

The 600g Nanchuk Matdon plate and what comes with it

For the tastiest first bite

The 600g Nanchuk Matdon plate we ordered arrived. The meat's color was vivid and the fat layer looked firm — it looked like good black pork just by sight.

For side dishes, they gave us radish salad, scallion salad, pickled onion, macaroni salad, geotjeori (fresh kimchi), pickled perilla leaves with wasabi, plus matcha salt and their special sauce.

On top of that, a meljeot jorim (anchovy sauce stew) came out bubbling in a stone pot, which paired really well with the black pork.

Another highlight here is that they grill it over bincotan charcoal ☆ The charcoal quality was great and the heat was strong, making for a perfect match with black pork, where the juiciness and flavor really matter ^^

For the most delicious first bite, the perfect taste of native Jeju black pork — the grilled Nanchuk Matdon plate.

Staff grilling the black pork with scallions at Pork80

A staff member laid out the black pork piece by piece and grilled it — placed on the charcoal, it looked even more delicious ^^

What surprised me at Pork80 was that they grill it together with scallions — I'd assumed it was just a side dish, but they kept touching the charcoal-scented scallions onto the black pork as they grilled ☆

The most delicious bite — the juices spread all through it, with the black pork's own flavor added and a really tasty chewiness.

Dipping it in the matcha salt added a clean umami on top, and that's the real delicacy here.

Best of all, since the Nanchuk Matdon gets grilled for you, I could just relax and chat with my friends while eating. The fully cooked meat gets moved onto the metal plate so it doesn't burn, which was great 👍

Pairing it with the scallions grilled in the black pork fat had this refreshing, palate-cleansing feel that made it taste even better.

The meljorim (anchovy stew) pot and the side dishes at Pork80

Another great combo for enjoying the black pork at Pork80 is this meljorim stone pot. The meljeot jorim came out bubbling hot, and it wasn't salty at all — just the ocean's umami came through, which made it great for dipping the black pork in. The meljorim was also a good recommended combo to spoon over rice later ^^

Aside from that, the side dishes also paired really well with the black pork, and my friends ate happily saying it was delicious ☆ I especially loved the geotjeori for being spicy and tangy — I wanted more.

Vegetable-packed pork bibimbap and cold yeolmu noodles to finish

Once the meat was this good, naturally I got excited for the dessert menu too. This is the pork bibimbap piled with vegetables, ordered for ₩5,000. Mixing it up with the vegetables and basic seasoning, then adding a spoonful of meljorim, really brought the flavor up a notch.

I also added meljorim tofu on top, and that turned out to be another delicacy ⭐️

My friend's cool yeolmu noodles — packed with tangy yeolmu (young radish greens) — looked so refreshing even before eating. The broth wasn't too salty either, just the right amount of tang.
