The writer took her parents for two servings of boneless flower pork belly and one of Iberico flower pork collar (15,000 won per serving) plus aged kimchi stew (7,000 won, rice included), and the conversation never stopped for grilling duty. Between the icy mukbap (chilled acorn jelly soup) side and the grilled bracken fern, Gildon is an easy pick for a meal with older parents. ## Good to know - **Address**: 186 Singalma-ro, Gallery Hurium Sangga Building 1F #121, Seo-gu, Daejeon - **Hours**: Daily 17:00–23:55 (last order 23:00) - **Chuseok holiday**: Closed the 27th (Sun), 28th (Mon), 29th (Tue); open as usual the 24th (Thu) and 25th (Fri) - **Parking**: 2 hours free in the building's parking lot - **Boneless flower pork belly / Iberico flower pork collar**: 15,000 won per serving - **Aged kimchi stew**: 7,000 won (rice included) - **Free with a receipt review**: Flying fish roe rice balls or hangover ramyeon - **Reservations**: Recommended — few tables, full by 7 p.m. on weekdays - **Price reference**: ₩15,000 ≈ $11 · ₩7,000 ≈ $5 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* Today I'm bringing you a Daejeon Galma-dong BBQ spot my parents and I visited recently — and we were both 200% satisfied! 😋✨ When you're taking your parents out to eat, the biggest hassle is usually the conversation getting interrupted by grilling meat, or the smoke being uncomfortable, right? ![A full spread of Gildon's signature meat in Galma-dong, Daejeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-01-1lgj3-1200.webp) This time we visited Gildon (길돈) in Galma-dong, where the staff grill the meat carefully from start to finish, so we got to eat comfortably and deliciously!

We visited on a weekday and it was already fully booked by 7pm! ## 🥗 Side dishes at Gildon, from icy mukbap to fresh salad ![Gildon's basic side dishes set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-06-1cbq4-900.webp) ![The lineup of Gildon's side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-07-6vwg2-900.webp) ![Close-up of a plate of Gildon's basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-08-1hmwx-966.webp) ![Gildon's fresh salad side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-09-1av3v-966.webp) ![Side dishes served alongside the meat at Gildon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-10-58jpi-m-966.webp) The moment we sat down, the side dishes came out all at once — and the spread was so generous I was impressed right off the bat! 🤤 The fresh salad also arrived, perfect for waking up the palate before the meat and for nibbling on in between bites! ![Gildon's mukbap topped with icy shavings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-11-17cwz-900.webp) And this refreshing mukbap (starch jelly noodle soup)! A tangy-sweet broth with icy shavings floating on top, served as a basic side — perfect for whetting the appetite before the meat! My parents loved it too, saying how refreshing and tasty it was 🧊✨ ## 🥩 The main event: boneless flower pork belly and Iberico flower pork collar (plus grilled bracken fern) ![Gildon's menu showing boneless flower pork belly and Iberico flower pork collar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-12-17nhw-900.webp) We ordered Gildon's signature dishes — 2 servings of boneless flower pork belly and 1 serving of Iberico flower pork collar! 🔥 ₩15,000 per serving ![Raw boneless flower pork belly before hitting the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-13-gyqzw-900.webp) ![A serving of Iberico flower pork collar set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-14-kxbtp-900.webp) ### Staff grill every cut for you, start to finish At Gildon, once the meat arrives, the staff grill it themselves to exactly the right temperature! Crispy outside, bursting with juice inside... and best of all, we didn't have to worry about grilling at all, so we could just chat comfortably with my parents while eating — truly the best 😭👍 The heat was strong and the staff's hands were incredibly fast, so everything got grilled in no time!! ![Staff grilling pork belly on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-15-12ou6-900.webp) ![Gildon's meat turning golden brown on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-16-f8ybq-900.webp) Both the pork belly and the pork collar were cut into perfectly bite-sized pieces and grilled deliciously — we really got to enjoy it properly haha. The texture was so good too!! ![Pork belly cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-17-lp8sl-966.webp) ![Fully grilled pork collar with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-18-147v6-900.webp) ![Meat and bracken fern grilling together on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-19-6axn2-900.webp) ### 🔥 Insider tip: grill the bracken fern too Try putting the bracken fern that comes as a basic side onto the grill and cooking it golden in the meat fat! The nuttiness doubles, and wrapped together with the meat it's next-level — you have to try it grilled!! 🌾🔥 ## 💡 How Gildon tells you to eat the pork Besides my bracken fern tip, the restaurant also has its own guide to enjoying the meat! ![Signage explaining how to best enjoy Gildon's meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-20-uxaub-900.webp) - #1 For your first bite, dip lightly in Himalayan salt to taste the meat's natural flavor. - #2 Put a bit of wasabi on the meat and wrap it with myeongi namul (wild garlic leaf) for extra flavor. - #3 Wrap the meat with green onion strips in a lettuce wrap — the fresh bite cuts through the richness. - #4 Dip the meat generously in the simmered hairtail jeotgal (fermented sauce) for extra umami. Gildon lets you enjoy the meat your own way in all sorts of combinations — and here's another tip: write a receipt review and get a free flying fish roe rice ball or hangover ramyeon!!! Don't forget to claim it haha. ## 🥘 Finish with aged kimchi stew, the spiciest closer At the end, we ordered the aged kimchi stew, which came with rice included for ₩7,000! ![A pot of Gildon's aged kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-21-1pxl3-900.webp) ![Aged kimchi stew served with a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork-22-bgi4i-900.webp) After enjoying the meat, we added the aged kimchi stew to finish the meal, and it was truly the right call! 🍚🔥 Made with deeply fermented kimchi, the broth was rich and spicy, cutting right through the richness of the meat! It's the kind of flavor that makes you polish off a whole bowl of rice — my parents were very satisfied with it as the closing dish 🤣👍 The portion was generous and packed with meat too, so it filled us right up. ## 💡 Is Gildon worth it for a dinner with parents? Between the friendly full-service grilling, the generous side dishes, and the juicy meat itself, this place had nothing missing! 💖 If you're looking for a clean, comfortable place to take your parents or elders, or a Galma-dong dinner spot where you can enjoy the meal without the hassle of grilling yourself, definitely give Gildon a visit! I'm already planning to go back soon 💨✨ ## Where it is - Gildon (길돈) - 186 Singalma-ro, Galleryhurium Sangga Building 1F #121, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 서구 신갈마로 186 갤러리휴리움 상가동 1층 121호 길돈 - 36.3501355, 127.3683953 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B8%B8%EB%8F%88/@36.3501355,127.3683953,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-pickled-radish/gildon-galma-dong-parents-dinner-pork/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
