We visited at Friday lunchtime and were able to go in without waiting. ## A neat interior and the service bar Maybe because it is a new restaurant, Cafe Dongi was very neat inside, with lots of tables and a stylish feel! There were plenty of seats, so it seemed like lots of Yeungnam University students come here, and I thought it would be nice for a date too, haha. There were also two separate group rooms >_< ![Cafe Dongi interior group room](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-05-3osfk-966.webp) A robot personally brought our order over >_< ![Cafe Dongi restaurant use guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-06-1eqvf-966.webp) *Visitor guide* Cafe Dongi Yeungnam University Art Center Branch also has a service bar! I loved that there were so many things to help yourself to, including fried eggs, five-grain rice, gim (dried seaweed), gangjeong (sweet crispy snacks), and caramel! High chairs and aprons are available too. Cafe Dongi says it uses rice grown in the clean DMZ area, which makes it feel even more trustworthy, right?! There were also various events underway, including Dongi membership benefits. You can use the building restrooms, which are separated for men and women. ## Grilled set meals and side dishes ![Cafe Dongi Korean set-meal menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-07-ao254-966.webp) ![Cafe Dongi Korean set-meal menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-08-m5l0x-966.webp) ![Cafe Dongi Korean set-meal menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-09-1ydzu-966.webp) ![Cafe Dongi Korean set-meal menu photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-10-iuh49-966.webp) Cafe Dongi Yeungnam University Art Center Branch has lots of signature choices, including the Dongi grilled spicy pork set meal, Dongi grilled bulgogi set meal, and Grandma's stir-fried webfoot octopus set meal!

I liked it even more because they gave us a generous amount of pork! After one bite, the pork was sweet and spicy and seriously addictive! Eat it with rice and you can finish a whole bowl in no time >_< We switched the spicy pork set meal to kimchi jjigae! It had plenty of meat and tofu, so it was great to mix right into the rice, haha. It also comes with three basic side dishes! ![Dessert drink with the Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-17-1sjq0-966.webp) *Dessert drink* A drink for dessert came with it too, and it was tangy, refreshing, and delicious! ## Sweet-salty bulgogi and crispy sides ![Grilled bulgogi Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-18-ekyn3-966.webp) This time, let's try the grilled bulgogi set meal.

Lastly, let's try the juicy dumplings. ![Juicy dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-22-1iidw-966.webp) ![Juicy dumpling filled with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-23-17z6d-966.webp) I took a bite of a dumpling, and the outside was crispy while the inside was packed with meat, making it even tastier with all that juice! ![Zero Cola ordered with the Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi/yeongnamdae-servicebar-saewootwigim-cafedongi-24-n5n3g-966.webp) *Cola* Zero Cola was only ₩1,000, so it was perfect for having a drink, haha.
