Moms and dads just get to sit and eat — you can't beat that efficiency. A structure where all you have to do is eat comfortably. From a parent's perspective, this is the best kind of place, love it! ![Pork belly browning nicely on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork-16-1wmji-966.webp) Chewy and juicy with a savory flavor! A strong grilled aroma comes through, and the outside is nicely browned. Maybe because of the aging process, the meat had a stronger, richer aroma — really flavorful!! The hangjeongsal was soft and moist, so my hand kept reaching for one piece after another, while the gabrisal had its own charm with a chewy texture. ![Fully grilled meat resting on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork-17-cqe8s-966.webp) Beautifully browned meat, all grilled up~! If your family loves meat, I'd recommend ordering a bit of every cut! They give you a lot of sauce here, so it's fun dipping around. haha A place that's truly serious about meat is different — once the meat's fully grilled, they leave it on the warm grill plate so you can enjoy it at the perfect temperature! 🫶 ## Finishing off with pork-packed kimchi jjigae (₩7,000, rice not included) After eating our fill of meat, we ordered kimchi jjigae to finish. The rich meaty broth aroma spread out immediately. ![A pot of pork-packed kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork-18-16mqs-966.webp) One spoonful in and you get that spicy, rich broth flavor along with generous chunks of meat. ![A spoonful of broth and meat from the kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork-19-1yhwp-966.webp) Since the meat broth had really infused into it, the soup felt deep and hearty. ## Complimentary steamed egg and seasoned vegetables ![Steamed egg and seasoned vegetables served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork-20-12uhm-966.webp) Even the basic steamed egg looked great as part of the whole spread — fluffy, with steam rising off it. ![Steaming basic steamed egg dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork-21-14ljv-966.webp) When you scoop it with a spoon it splits softly, and a savory aroma hits you right away on the first bite. ![Soft steamed egg split open with a spoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork-22-nw2tb-966.webp) Not too heavily seasoned, so you keep spooning more. We finished it before the meat was even done grilling... ![A dish of tangy seasoned vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork-23-1wgw3-966.webp) The seasoned vegetables that came alongside were tangy and crunchy, keeping things from ever feeling too heavy. ![Refilled seasoned vegetables alongside the meat spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork-24-372pl-966.webp) Trying to eat my veggies first for slow aging, I ended up refilling twice haha ## Perfect for family gatherings with kids — Geumdon Hwaro Sangil-dong Station Branch Yep~~ now I get why there's a wait every weekend. From the baby chairs to the wide range of ages among the guests, there's no easier BBQ spot to visit as a family. With staff grilling everything, moms and dads can focus on just eating, and the solid basics like steamed egg and seasoned vegetables made it even better. Finishing off the kimchi jjigae to the last spoonful left us full and content on the way out. Somewhere I'd love to bring my parents next time too. ## Where it is - Geumdon Hwaro Sangil-dong Station Branch (금돈화로 상일동역점) - 399 Godeok-ro, Mega Square Building 1F Unit 132, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강동구 고덕로 399 메가스퀘어동 1층 132호 - 37.5576328, 127.1708611 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B8%88%EB%8F%88%ED%99%94%EB%A1%9C%20%EC%83%81%EC%9D%BC%EB%8F%99%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.5576328,127.1708611,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@choosing-a-bar/geumdon-hwaro-sangildong-family-pork/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
