Across from the Galma-dong Daiso Gildon is on the first floor of the Gallery Hureum commercial building in Galma-dong (right across from the large Daiso building in Galma-dong). It's easy to find since it's directly across the main road, and parking is available at the building's lot, which makes driving there really convenient. 🚔 Parking available at the Gallery Hureum commercial building lot (you can visit without worrying about parking) ## Inside Gildon: hanok eaves and what the seating is like The first thing that catches your eye when you walk in is the interior styled like a traditional tiled roof eave! It feels like you're grilling meat under the eaves of a hanok — quiet yet full of atmosphere. The tables are arranged cozily but efficiently, so it never feels cramped or tight. There's even a thoughtful storage box under the chairs for keeping your belongings and coats. It's already a well-known Korean BBQ restaurant in Galma-dong, Daejeon, so it was packed with people waiting and groups having company dinners or gatherings! ## What's on the menu at Gildon? For grilled meats, they have boneless flower pork belly, Iberico flower pork neck, Iberico galbisal, and bone-in pork belly, and the meal menu is just as solid, with blue crab doenjang stew, aged kimchi stew, flying fish roe rice ball, chilnaengmyeon for dessert, and hangover ramyeon. ![Gildon's menu board of grilled dishes and meal items](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-02-1o6wi-1200.webp) ## Gildon's side dishes: how the table starts After ordering the meat, the basic side dishes came out first, and even those were a cut above! ![Basic side dishes set out at Gildon after ordering meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-03-3dl7q-966.webp) Instead of the usual cheap dressing you get at BBQ places, it was a fresh, tangy salad dressing that felt like something from a fancy pasta restaurant — I was surprised from the very first bite! ![Gildon's salad with a fresh tangy dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-04-ocekb-966.webp) ![Close-up of Gildon's basic side dish plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-05-1pv2v-966.webp) ![Side dishes served alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-06-70stb-966.webp) ![Acorn jelly side dish in an icy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-07-1kbj7-966.webp) The broth with slivers of ice floating in it, packed full of plump acorn jelly, is perfect to eat before the meat arrives. ![Side dishes including bracken fern and mountain garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-08-kj6tr-966.webp) From bracken fern and mountain garlic to fresh kimchi, Himalayan salt, salted hairtail intestines, and shiitake wasabi sauce — the combination that boosts the meat's flavor was so good. ![Himalayan salt and shiitake wasabi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-09-31xkg-966.webp) ![Salted hairtail intestines and other dipping sauces for the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-10-mpxfb-966.webp) ## Boneless flower pork belly and Iberico flower pork neck, 15,000 won each > Boneless flower pork belly (₩15,000) / Iberico flower pork neck (₩15,000) / Aged kimchi stew (₩7,000) (rice included) We ordered the boneless flower pork belly (₩15,000) and the Iberico flower pork neck (₩15,000). ![Raw boneless flower pork belly and Iberico flower pork neck as ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-11-1ofuc-966.webp) ![Flower pork belly and pork neck placed on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-12-1fe0m-966.webp) At Gildon, the staff carefully grill the meat for you from start to finish, so it was really easy to just sit back and eat! ![Staff at Gildon grilling the meat directly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-13-448k2-966.webp) I'm firmly a pork neck person, but even I was moved by this place's boneless flower pork belly...♥️ Not only is the bone neatly removed for easy eating, but the meat is really tender and melts as you eat it...! The flower pork neck had zero dryness and was packed with juice, so every bite burst with savory flavor in my mouth. ![Boneless flower pork belly grilled to a golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-14-81pox-966.webp) ### How to eat it: Himalayan salt, myeongi (pickled mountain garlic leaves) and shiitake wasabi Of course, the first bite goes with a light dip in Himalayan salt to taste the meat as it is~~~ ![A piece of pork belly dipped in Himalayan salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-15-10hzw-966.webp) ![Iberico flower pork neck dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-16-o21g8-966.webp) Eating it together with the grilled shishito peppers and green onion served alongside ![Grilled shishito peppers and green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-17-q48yi-966.webp) ![Grilled vegetables plated together with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-18-b42xu-966.webp) Wrapping it up with mountain garlic and shiitake wasabi is honestly the best pork belly I've had recently! ![Pork belly wrapped in mountain garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-19-4flp6-966.webp) ## Gildon's aged kimchi stew, 7,000 won with rice included Just as I was marveling at the meat, the aged kimchi stew came out — and it was even more legendary! ![A pot of Gildon's aged kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-20-1jp4y-966.webp) ![Aged kimchi stew packed with kimchi and meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-21-plko0-966.webp) Kimchi stew at BBQ restaurants is usually salty and overly seasoned, but Gildon's kimchi stew doesn't taste like MSG — it tastes like it was really simmered carefully with deeply flavored kimchi, the way it's made at home...🍲 One bowl of rice comes included, and the stew was so full of well-fermented kimchi and thick pieces of meat that I ended up finishing half a bowl of rice with it before even touching the grilled meat. ![Kimchi stew eaten together with a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-22-1y7vo-m-966.webp) This is a must-order dish you absolutely have to try! 😃 ![A table set with both grilled meat and stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-23-1442x-966.webp) ![The final spread laid out on the table at Gildon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork/gildon-galma-dong-kimchi-stew-pork-24-tb9qh-966.webp) Gildon, a pork belly BBQ restaurant in Daejeon where the owner's sincerity and effort from 5 years of dedication to meat shows in every single dish!
