The order was special ogyeopsal (extra-thick five-layer pork belly) and jjondeuksal (chewy cut), eaten with barley doenjang and herring roe, plus the garlic sauce the staff set on the grill with the first round of meat to cut the richness. With a roomy annex beyond the main building and a doenjang jjigae full of tofu to finish, Matdongsam Beomeo made for a satisfying meal. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 17:00 – 23:00 (closures announced on Naver and Instagram) - **Ordered**: Special ogyeopsal (extra-thick five-layer pork belly), jjondeuksal (chewy cut) - **Sides**: Barley doenjang, herring roe, garlic sauce, doenjang jjigae - **Seating**: Main building plus an annex, also spacious - **Location**: 15 Dongdaegu-ro 74an-gil, 1st floor, Suseong-gu, Daegu, near the Beomeo-dong court *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* There's a new pork belly restaurant that opened up near the Beomeo-dong court, so I went and checked it out. This is Matdongsam, meaning 'tasty neighborhood pork belly.' Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch. ![Exterior of Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-01-17ksm-740.webp) - Hours: 17:00 – 23:00 (closures announced on Naver and Instagram) ## A renovated house with an annex: inside Matdongsam Beomeo Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch is a pork belly restaurant made from a renovated house. It's right near the Beomeo-dong court, so it wasn't hard to find. ![Entrance of Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch, a renovated house](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-02-1yihk-740.webp) ![Exterior of the pork belly restaurant with its original house structure](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-03-1kpab-740.webp) It really is a place made by renovating a house. ![Restaurant interior keeping the house's original structure](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-04-6ygm7-740.webp) ![Indoor seating at Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-05-4qa2w-740.webp) ![Interior space of the renovated-house pork belly restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-06-10p6l-740.webp) The original layout is still there. It felt so much cozier and nicer that way. The front entrance is just left as it was, haha. ![The house's original front entrance, left as is](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-07-37rlo-740.webp) There was another door besides the main entrance, and I wondered what it was for. ![An extra door next to the main entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-08-5cq2o-740.webp) ![Passage door connecting to the annex](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-09-149c5-740.webp) Turns out it was a door connecting to the annex. The annex was spacious too, great for a meal. ![Spacious annex dining area](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-10-zhm81-740.webp) ![Annex tables in a clean interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-11-1vomg-740.webp) Since it's newly opened, it has a clean feel. And the location, right near the Beomeo-dong court, makes it easy to find. A good spot if you have plans in Beomeo-dong or are looking for a place to grab dinner nearby! Lately I've been having fun hunting down newly opened pork BBQ places in Daegu, and this one won me over from the atmosphere alone. ![Table setting at Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-12-1gr58-740.webp) ## How did the special ogyeopsal and jjondeuksal taste? At Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch we ordered two things: special ogyeopsal (extra pork belly) and jjondeuksal (chewy cut). The basic side dishes came out first, along with a guide on how to eat it best, which I followed. Here are the basic side dishes. ![Full spread of basic side dishes at Matdongsam](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-13-1m4x2-740.webp) There's a guide for how to eat it best, so check it out! ![Guide for how to eat the meat best](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-14-5m4rg-740.webp) ![Table set with the ordered meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-15-1xknx-740.webp) We ordered the special ogyeopsal and jjondeuksal. ![Plate of raw special ogyeopsal and jjondeuksal](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-16-vbodq-1200.webp) First off, both cuts of meat were seriously delicious. ![Special ogyeopsal grilling on the barbecue](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-17-ztjrn-740.webp) ![Grilled jjondeuksal and special ogyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-18-swj83-740.webp) The special ogyeopsal had just the right amount of fat with a chewy texture, and once grilled, both the nutty flavor and the juiciness came through nicely. The jjondeuksal lived up to its name with an appealingly chewy texture — not tough at all, and the more you chewed, the more the nutty flavor came out! ![Meat paired with barley doenjang and herring roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-19-1ykzd-740.webp) ## Barley doenjang, herring roe and the garlic sauce on the grill Matdongsam's accompaniments are barley doenjang, herring roe, and garlic sauce. Adding a little barley doenjang to the meat brought out a savory flavor, and eating it together with the herring roe added a popping texture on top of that — so even though it was the same meat, I could enjoy it a few different ways. But honestly, the real kicker was the garlic sauce. ![Garlic sauce placed on the grill alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-20-1bjx9-740.webp) When you start grilling the meat, they put the garlic sauce right on the grill with it, kind of like fermented anchovy sauce. Since the garlic sauce can burn if left on the grill too long, you just take it off partway through. It has this sharp, tangy kick that, eaten with the meat, brings the richness down to zero. ## Finishing with a tofu-packed doenjang jjigae And the doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) here is delicious too. It's packed with tofu, and the broth wasn't overly strong or salty. It wasn't bland either — savory and clean at the same time, perfect for a spoonful between bites of meat. Finishing off the meal with rice and doenjang jjigae after the meat made for a proper ending. ![Doenjang jjigae loaded with tofu, served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-21-15h5m-740.webp) ## Looking for pork belly in Beomeo-dong, Daegu? Overall this was a satisfying Beomeo-dong pork BBQ spot, clean inside and out with meat that delivered. Truly living up to its name as a tasty neighborhood pork belly place. Being set in a renovated house gave it a bit of a different atmosphere, and beyond the special ogyeopsal and jjondeuksal, it was fun mixing in the barley doenjang, herring roe, and garlic sauce in different combinations. If you're near the Beomeo-dong court looking for a clean pork belly restaurant, I'd recommend this one. - A newly opened pork BBQ spot — clean, renovated-house atmosphere - The barley doenjang and garlic sauce are the real kicker - The meat itself is delicious too ![Closing photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal-22-1j9o3-740.webp) You can do it if you try. > You can do it if you try. ## Where it is - Matdongsam Beomeo Main Branch (맛동삼 범어본점) - 15 Dongdaegu-ro 74an-gil, 1st floor, 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/@daegu-lunch-sign/beomeo-dong-garlic-sauce-ogyeopsal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
