One serving of special ogyeopsal (thick pork belly) and two servings of jjondeuksal were grilled with stir-fried kimchi, potatoes and mushrooms, then the meal finished with steamed egg, grandma's doenjang stew and rice. At Matdongsam, the grilled kimchi and garlic oil sauce lingered longer than the pork itself. ## Good to know - **Address**: 15 Dongdaegu-ro 74an-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu - **Hours**: Daily 17:00–23:00 - **Closed**: Main Korean holidays (day of) - **Parking**: Room for about 2 cars in front; nearby lots or alley parking if full - **Order minimum**: First order starts at 3 servings - **Matdongsam Full Platter**: 50,000 won - **Special ogyeopsal (thick pork belly)**: 11,000 won - **Gabrisal (pork collar)**: 11,000 won - **Jjondeuksal (chewy pork cut)**: 9,500 won - **Grandma's doenjang stew**: 5,000 won - **Braised tofu**: 10,000 won - **Yeolmu bibim noodles (young radish kimchi noodles)**: 6,000 won - **Chilled bibim noodles**: 6,000 won - **Curry in an earthenware pot**: 3,000 won - **Steamed egg**: 2,000 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* A pork BBQ restaurant worth trying in Beomeo-dong: Matdongsam ![Signature photo of Matdongsam, a pork BBQ restaurant in Beomeo-dong, Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-01-1sz97-1200.webp) While looking for somewhere to eat pork in Daegu, I came across a new pork BBQ restaurant in Beomeo-dong on social media and wanted to try it. I used to think good pork was all that mattered, but this place turned out to have a lot more fun in the details than expected — from the grilled kimchi to the dipping sauces and vegetables. ## Where is Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch, and what are its hours? Matdongsam is a pork BBQ restaurant at 15 Dongdaegu-ro 74an-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu. It's open daily from 17:00 to 23:00, and closed on the day of Korean holidays. ## Is there parking at Matdongsam? There's a parking area right in front of the restaurant. But given the size of the place, the parking space isn't exactly generous — maybe room for about 2 cars — so anything beyond that means using another lot or the nearby alleys. Especially during dinner hours, when diners tend to pile in, it's worth thinking about public transit or a nearby lot rather than counting on parking. ## Inside Matdongsam: a main house and a separate annex ![Table seating inside Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-02-1f8d8-966.webp) ![Interior of Matdongsam split into a main building and annex](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-03-7l7q0-m-966.webp) The inside of Matdongsam was bigger and more unusual than I expected. Rather than one continuous dining room, the space is split into a main building and an annex, with tables scattered throughout — a bit different from a typical pork BBQ restaurant. ![Renovated-house interior atmosphere at Matdongsam](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-04-137od-966.webp) There's also a renovated-house kind of atmosphere, so instead of feeling like a spotless franchise BBQ joint, it felt more like eating pork comfortably in the neighborhood. With tables split across several spaces, it seemed like a good spot not just for two people but for family dinners or group gatherings too. And if you search Matdongsam on Naver, there were a bunch of fun coupons — definitely worth checking before you visit haha 🤭 - ✅ Strawberry or mango-ade coupon for pregnant guests - ✅ Free serving of pork coupon for birthdays that day - ✅ Congratulatory money coupon for wedding invitation gatherings - ✅ Melona ice bar coupon for saving the page ## Matdongsam menu and prices - Matdongsam Full Platter ₩50,000 - Special ogyeopsal (pork belly) ₩11,000 - Gabrisal ₩11,000 - Jjondeuksal (chewy cut) ₩9,500 - Grandma's doenjang stew ₩5,000 - Braised tofu ₩10,000 - Yeolmu bibim noodles ₩6,000 - Water bibim noodles ₩6,000 - Curry hot pot ₩3,000 - Steamed egg ₩2,000 ## Ordering one special ogyeopsal and two jjondeuksal ![Special pork belly and jjondeuksal ordered at Matdongsam](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-05-mf4sh-966.webp) What we ordered that day: one serving of special ogyeopsal (pork belly) and two servings of jjondeuksal. Since Matdongsam requires a minimum of 3 servings for the first order, we picked what we wanted from the various cuts. ![Basic side dish setup after ordering meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-06-1kc32-m-966.webp) ![Mushrooms and potatoes to grill on the pan alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-07-1tadx-966.webp) After ordering the meat, the basic setup arrives first, and it was better than expected. I especially liked that mushrooms and potatoes came out alongside the meat, ready to grill on the same pan. ![Mushrooms and potatoes grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-08-1pjbi-966.webp) Instead of just grilling meat nonstop, tossing in grilled mushrooms or potatoes here and there changes up the texture, and with a bit of the meat's fat soaked in, they become a treat of their own too 😛 ## Stir-fried kimchi grilled right on the pan What was pretty striking at Matdongsam was the kimchi. Instead of the usual fresh kimchi you get at most pork BBQ restaurants, they bring out already well-fermented braised kimchi. I personally love this kind of deeply fermented kimchi, and the moment I saw it I thought it would make an amazing kimchi stew — but it was also delicious grilled. With a little pork fat soaked in, the kimchi's deep flavor came through even more, making it an addictive combination I kept reaching for. ![Well-fermented braised kimchi served at Matdongsam](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-09-10huw-966.webp) ![Braised kimchi grilled on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-10-1385r-966.webp) ## Barley doenjang, egg roe sauce and garlic oil: the dipping sauces at Matdongsam There was a good variety of dipping sauces to go with the meat too. Barley doenjang, blue-shell egg roe sauce, wasabi, and salt were all set out, so you could pick based on your taste — and the same meat tastes a little different depending on which sauce you dip it in, so it's fun to try different combinations. The barley doenjang paired especially well with the pork, and the salt was good when I wanted something cleaner. ![Barley doenjang, egg roe sauce, wasabi and salt dipping sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-11-di7fg-966.webp) ![Dipping sauce plate setup at Matdongsam](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-12-18d64-966.webp) And there was one slightly unusual sauce — garlic oil sauce. I assumed it was salted anchovy sauce at first, but the staff explained it was garlic oil sauce, and that once it comes to a boil, you should pour it into a paper cup and dip your meat in it. I did as instructed, boiled it, and dipped my meat in — the garlic aroma came through subtly with a rich savoriness, and I kept coming back for more. ![Garlic oil sauce boiled before dipping](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-13-72c4b-m-966.webp) For more tips on how to enjoy it, there's a template placed at each table you can refer to :) ![Table guide showing how to enjoy the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-14-1ki00-966.webp) ## How did the special ogyeopsal and jjondeuksal taste? On to the main event — the meat 🍖 First up was the special ogyeopsal, and the signature chewy texture of pork belly really came through. Since this cut includes lean meat, fat and skin together, it had a satisfying bite and a nice nuttiness too. ![Special pork belly grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-15-1ad19-966.webp) ![Cross-section of grilled special pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-16-gvotl-966.webp) ![Special pork belly dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-17-vx6ly-m-966.webp) Personally, dipping the pork belly lightly in salt was my favorite way to taste the meat's own flavor fully. And pairing it with barley doenjang or the egg roe sauce gave it a bit more depth. ![A piece of pork belly dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-18-15skt-966.webp) ![Jjondeuksal on the grill pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-19-qpn7v-966.webp) ![Jjondeuksal with grilled potatoes, mushrooms and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-20-wgp03-966.webp) The jjondeuksal ("chewy cut") lived up to its name — the texture was the whole point. If you prefer a springy, chewy bite over something soft and melt-in-your-mouth, this one's for you, and switching between it and the special pork belly made for a pretty fun contrast of textures???? With grilled potatoes, mushrooms and kimchi alongside the meat, the whole table felt satisfyingly full. ![Full spread of meat and side dishes on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-21-xkwio-966.webp) ![Steamed egg and grandma's doenjang stew ordered together](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-22-9qc5x-966.webp) ## Finishing with steamed egg, grandma's doenjang stew and rice After all the meat, a combo you can't skip — I ordered steamed egg, doenjang stew and rice too. The doenjang stew had a rich, savory anchovy broth flavor, and after grilling meat continuously, having a warm spoonful of stew felt like resetting my palate, making for a nice finish with rice. The steamed egg was also great to eat softly in between bites of meat — glad I ordered it. ![Meal finished with doenjang stew and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-23-r3srl-966.webp) After the meal, candy is served as dessert. I missed the Naver event and didn't get the ice cream, but I still got a sweet finish to the dinner with the candy 🍭 ![Candy served after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner-24-jsj2g-966.webp) If you're looking for a new pork BBQ restaurant to try in Beomeo-dong, Matdongsam seems like a good pick for a family dinner or a gathering — how about having dinner there sometime? ## Where it is - Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch (맛동삼 범어본점) - 15 Dongdaegu-ro 74an-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 수성구 동대구로74안길 15 1층 - 35.8653248, 128.6283618 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%9B%EB%8F%99%EC%82%BC%20%EB%B2%94%EC%96%B4%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8653248,128.6283618,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chimji-noon-corner/matdongsam-beomeo-grilled-kimchi-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
