# Seoul Korean BBQ in Yeongdeungpo with shiitake salt dip: Dongnaejeong - By Iseul (https://superchart.com/en/@chopstick-turns/) - Written Sep 6, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yeongdeungpo, Seoul - Sponsored: This is a review written after visiting with a meal provided by the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@chopstick-turns/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@chopstick-turns/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/index.md) ## In short Dongnaejeong Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Main Branch is a Korean BBQ restaurant specialising in gabrisal (pork skirt meat), a three-minute walk from Exit 5 of Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station in Seoul. Every table was full, so the writer put a name down on the CatchTable waitlist at number 1, was seated quickly, and ordered the gabrisal set for two at 34,000 won, chadolbagi (beef brisket) at 15,000 won and milmyeon noodles, with a staff member grilling the meat and cutting the foil-wrapped mushrooms at the table. Dipped in shiitake salt with sesame oil poured over it, the gabrisal was not dry at all but tender — enough to make Dongnaejeong a place worth returning to. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 5 Dangsan-ro 30-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul - **Location**: 3-minute walk from Exit 5, Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station - **Hours**: Daily 3 PM–11 PM (last order 10:30 PM) - **Gabrisal set for two**: 34,000 won - **Chadolbagi (beef brisket)**: 15,000 won - **Ordering rule**: First order starts at two portions; single portions can be added later, except pork neck - **Seating**: About 10 tables, round tables - **Reservations**: Group bookings available; waitlist through CatchTable *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* I don't sleep well normally, and I still can't sleep now, so here's my honest late-night review of Dongnaejeong! Since the restaurant is called Dongnaejeong, I asked the owner if they were from Busan — turns out 'Dongnaejeong' is just the owner's name haha… a little awkward moment for me. ![Exterior of Dongnaejeong Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-01-11ms6-900.webp) ## Where is Dongnaejeong Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Main Branch, and what are its hours?

When we arrived, Dongnaejeong Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Main Branch was almost fully booked, so we registered right away on the CatchTable waitlist! We were number 1, and we got seated faster than expected!! ![Wood-tone interior inside Dongnaejeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-03-m5tdh-900.webp) ![Dining hall with round tables at Dongnaejeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-04-z34q3-900.webp) Inside, people kept pouring in! There were about 10 tables, with a wood-tone interior and round tables — clean and neat all around! ![Dongnaejeong menu board showing meat and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-05-1wji6-900.webp) ## Menu and ordering rules at Dongnaejeong Looking at the Dongnaejeong menu, the BEST picks among the meat dishes were jeong-gabri (the gabrisal set) and Dongnae pork neck, with sides and accompaniments listed separately, which made choosing easy! After some thought, we ordered the jeong-gabri set for two! - ⭐️First order must be for at least 2 people - After that, you can add single portions one at a time, except pork neck ![Basic side dishes set at Dongnaejeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-06-shbfn-900.webp) ![Complimentary melchorim served in a stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-07-1xlwi-900.webp) ### Side dishes and the complimentary meljeot-jorim The basic side dishes came out first — garlic scape muchim (seasoned side dish), gat kimchi (mustard leaf kimchi), wasabi, and white kimchi — plus a complimentary melchorim (anchovy sauce braise) served in a stone pot!! It wasn't just about eating the meat; there were plenty of things to dip and pair with it, which I loved! ![Side dishes plate with gat kimchi and garlic scape muchim](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-08-bg2l5-901.webp) ![Sesame oil and shiitake salt on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-09-12o2n-900.webp) ### Shiitake salt with sesame oil poured over it There was also sesame oil set out on the table — pouring a little into the shiitake salt doubles the nuttiness. They said it's 100% sesame oil sourced directly from the grain market! ![Raw gabrisal set for two on a plate at Dongnaejeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-10-mn1ib-1200.webp) *Gabrisal set for two, ₩34,000* ## How does the 34,000-won gabrisal set for two taste? The jeong-gabri arrived! Dongnaejeong's jeong-gabri is apparently 100% pure gabrisal (pork skirt meat) with no sirloin added in! Honestly I wasn't expecting much, but after tasting it — total plot twist haha ![Gabrisal grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-11-jgss4-900.webp) Best of all, the staff grilled the meat for us directly, which made things so easy! They picked out the pieces right when perfectly cooked and made them easy to eat, finishing it off by topping with shishito peppers! ![Grilled gabrisal topped with shishito peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-12-ubw16-900.webp) ### Will your clothes smell of grilled meat? For those of you worried about smelling like meat after eating — this place has a system that sucks up the smoke right away, and as you can see in the photo, the smoke really does get pulled straight in haha. No meat smell worries here! ![Meat on the smoke-absorbing grill pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-13-1jvm9-900.webp) ![Gabrisal dipped in shiitake salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-14-13tlf-900.webp) Once the meat was cooked, we followed the staff's suggestion and dipped it in the shiitake salt first — wow wow, it just melts, seriously haha. I expected gabrisal to be a bit dry, but it wasn't dry at all and was so soft it surprised me! The chubby friend I went with said it's the tastiest meat he's had recently haha ![A well-cooked piece of gabrisal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-15-i1fmg-900.webp) ![Whole mushroom grilled inside foil](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-16-vensy-900.webp) ### Mushrooms served wrapped in foil And what's wrapped in the foil is mushrooms!!! It stays wrapped whole in foil until it's cooked through, then the staff takes it out and even cuts it up for you, snip snip. Once cut, the juices just gush out~~~~ the mushrooms were juicy and so delicious!! ![Raw chadolbagi plate at Dongnaejeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-17-1w9fv-900.webp) *Chadolbagi, ₩15,000* ## Adding chadolbagi (beef brisket) for 15,000 won The meat was so good that we ended up ordering an extra portion of gabrisal plus a portion of chadolbagi (thin-sliced beef brisket)! ![Chadolbagi on the grill pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-18-8n8l7-900.webp) The chadolbagi came with a seasoned sauce on the side — grilled briefly on the pan and dipped in, it was sweet and savory and also delicious haha ![Chadolbagi dipped in seasoned sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-19-lo5q7-900.webp) ![Bowl of milmyeon topped with slush ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-20-jwa1s-900.webp) ## Finishing with icy milmyeon noodles After grilled meat, milmyeon (chilled wheat noodles) is a must! We ordered the version with floating slush ice, and wow, it was truly refreshing and cooling. It tasted just like the milmyeon I remember from Busan, and the noodles were chewy too — this is exactly the taste haha ![Chewy milmyeon noodles lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-21-1wyqi-900.webp) There were also Dongnaejeong's own tips for eating the meat written on the table, so give it a read! I read it and tried eating exactly as instructed, and it really added to the fun hahaha ![Dongnaejeong's meat-eating tips written on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-22-9nlyq-900.webp) The meat was delicious, and there were so many dipping sauces to choose from that you could eat according to your own taste, which I loved! Wrapped it all up neatly in lettuce wraps too~~~~ ![Gabrisal wrapped in a lettuce leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-gabrisal-catchtable-23-1nppf-900.webp) ## Is Dongnaejeong worth a visit? Final verdict On the way out, they even had mouthwash ready! The staff were friendly and grilled the meat for us directly, so we could eat comfortably, and above all, the gabrisal was so much tastier than expected — very satisfying! I'll definitely order gabrisal again next time haha.
