Weekend waiting and parking at Jimidang
Reservations are essential on weekends! I visited with a 7pm weekend reservation, and people without reservations had a bit of a wait.
🅿️Parking: about 4 spots available on the road in front of the restaurant. At peak times, I'd recommend parking in the alley nearby and walking over. Since it's a place with waits, there's a well-set-up waiting zone. In cold winter they even turn on a heater so you can wait warm!
Inside Jimidang: a wide hall that suits family gatherings
Comfortable inside with powerful air conditioning! The place is spacious with plenty of tables, so it's easy to visit for family gatherings or in a big group.
It runs with an open kitchen, and high chairs are available for babies too!
Each table has thoughtful little items prepared. So you can cool off right away if you start sweating from the spicy ribs, there's a mini fan, dental floss, a hair tie, and even stain remover at every seat 👍
Mild or medium? Choosing the spice level
At Jimidang you can choose your spice level for the spicy braised pork ribs. Having tried both mild and medium, here's my take —
- 🌶️Mild is exactly like Shin Ramyun-level spicy-sweet!
- 🌶️🌶️Medium makes you sweat but you keep coming back for more!
Pick according to your taste. Both have a sweet base underneath, so it's a savory, addictive kind of spicy.
The order: spicy braised pork rib set for two (mild) plus mushrooms
We ordered the spicy braised pork rib set for two (mild) with a mushroom topping add-on. [Spicy braised ribs for two + gondre namul bap (perilla leaf rice, 300g) + buckwheat pancake]
Can you see how generous the portions are? 🫢 The set combination is perfect, so I strongly recommend just ordering the set!!
When you order, the side dishes come out first. Icy-cold dongchimi (water radish kimchi) and pickled radish, plus the spicy sauce for dipping the buckwheat pancake, all come as standard.
How do Jimidang's spicy braised pork ribs taste?
Ta-da — the spicy pork ribs come out filling the whole pot like this. Green onion shreds and bean sprouts pile up on top, with thinly sliced king oyster mushrooms and deeply cooked pork ribs simmering underneath.
Once you pull out the hidden meat and lift it up, it looks this delicious. 🤤
They use Iberico Duroc, so the meat is really tender — the rib meat is cooked so thoroughly it slides right off the bone, pulling apart along the grain with no tough spots. 🤤 You know that satisfaction of the bone coming out perfectly clean, right?
What makes this place stand out especially is the incredibly savory spicy sauce. 🤤 My #1 spicy braised ribs! It's not just spicy — the savory and sweet notes make it very addictive. We also added the mushroom topping, and the king oyster mushrooms soaked up the sauce so well they were just as delicious as the ribs — if you like mushrooms, I highly recommend adding them!
Gondre namul bap (rice with Korean thistle greens)
Take the generous portion of gondre namul bap and mix it into a bowl with the spicy ribs — heavenly 👼🏻
Buckwheat pancake (memil-jeon)
It's easiest to cut the buckwheat pancake into pizza-shaped slices with scissors, then roll it up from the edge to eat! The chewy texture and nutty buckwheat flavor pair perfectly with the spicy dish.
It's good dipped in the spicy sauce that's provided, and also good eaten alongside the ribs.
💚 Final verdict on Jimidang Ilsan Main Branch
An unforgettable spicy flavor once you try it — a real favorite I keep revisiting for years without getting tired of it!
If you love spicy braised ribs, this is a must-visit Ilsan restaurant — that was my review of Jimidang.
