Gwangalli pork BBQ restaurant, Iberico pluma with Maldon salt: Jukrim

Hi, this is Heejamae. Iberico — famous for pork you don't even have to fully cook through!

Where is Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui, and what are its hours?

Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui is an Iberico specialty BBQ restaurant on the 1st floor at 71 Gwangnam-ro, Suyeong-gu, Busan. Just head from Geumnyeonsan Station toward Gwangalli Beach.

Mon–Fri: 17:00–01:00 (next day) Sat, Sun: 15:00–01:00 (next day) 📋 Reservations, group seating, Wi-Fi, high chairs, waiting area, easy payment available

There's no dedicated parking lot, so public transit or a nearby paid lot works best.

The black exterior gives off a classy BBQ restaurant vibe. The little pig's backside next to the phone number on the sign is so cute... haha

Inside, the dim lighting makes it feel even more upscale. There are big tables, great for group dinners or family outings, and it also looks great for dates or blind dates!! haha

Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui menu and set options

Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui requires a minimum first order of 3 servings. Main meat options include Iberico pluma/secreto/presa, raw pork belly/neck, Hanwoo beef tartare, and seasoned Iberico cuts, plus a variety of meal items like beef-brisket soybean rice, kimchi stew, soybean stew, and sides.

There are also set menus for a bit better value,

• Jukrim Iberico Set: 450g Iberico + beef-brisket soybean rice
• Jukrim Hanpork Set: 255g pork belly + 200g pork neck + soybean stew

What we ordered: Iberico pluma 200g and aged pork belly

• ✔️ Iberico pluma 200g
• ✔️ Aged raw pork belly 100g
• ✔️ Steamed egg

There were cuts I'd never tried before, so after some deliberation I went with the Iberico pluma — a cut a Michelin 3-star chef reportedly praised as the most delicious meat in the world. It's from near the shoulder, apparently tender and full of juice!

Side dishes and the Maldon salt on the table

First, the side dishes were laid out. Everything felt neat and well-seasoned, and the salted fermented seafood was especially delicious. Right up my alley!!

The salt, they said, was a premium type called Maldon salt — apparently 39% lower in sodium than regular salt.

And finally, the meat arrived 🫶 The one on top is raw pork belly, and below it is the Iberico pluma. Mushrooms, green onion, and shishito peppers came alongside too — great for pairing.

Staff grill every cut over charcoal for you

At Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui, the staff put all the meat on the grill and cook it for you. Since I don't eat Iberico often, I had no idea how long to cook it, so having them handle it completely meant I could enjoy it even more deliciously — and comfortably too.

The meat and vegetables cooking away, looking so good... The round-cooked shape on the meat is probably from the grill plate being shaped that way haha

Cooking so beautifully ㅜㅜ❤️ The charcoal Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui uses is called 'Baekran,' made from domestic Jirisan oak refined at high temperature. This Baekran keeps a high heat, which sears the surface of the meat quickly while trapping the juices inside — so you get that perfect crispy-outside, juicy-inside result!

Once cooked just right, the meat was lined up neatly beside the grill. The visuals are unreal... you can tell just by looking that the inside is juicy. So much juice...!

How does Iberico pluma taste? The first bite in Maldon salt

They recommended trying the first bite dipped only in Maldon salt, so that's what I did. With no other seasoning, just salt, I could really taste the clean, natural flavor of the meat. The moment I bit in, the juices burst out and it was so tender it almost felt like eating beef.

Aged raw pork belly at Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui

The aged raw pork belly also felt really fresh. Even just looking at the cross-section, the ratio of fat to meat was perfect...!

It's great with wasabi on top, or paired with white kimchi and green onion — the combinations all work so well haha

Crab soybean stew and pudding-soft steamed egg

This is the soybean stew I got through the review event. The soybean stew... I highly recommend it. It has crab in it for a rich flavor, the ingredients inside are hearty, and eaten with rice it disappears fast.

I also wanted to try the steamed egg, so I ordered that as an extra. It had this soft, pudding-like texture, so even when I was full I kept eating more. Recommend this one too haha

Is Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui worth a visit in Gwangalli?

If you want to try meat cuts you don't usually eat, or you're looking for a BBQ place where staff grill everything for you, I recommend Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui in Gwangalli haha. Having them grill it makes you feel more taken care of, so somehow the meat tastes even better — that magic touch ⭐️ Every cut was consistently high quality, so I left very satisfied.
