Dog-friendly Korean BBQ open till 1am in Mokpo: Simdon

Long time since I went to Mokpo for a trip! I do like seafood, but I love meat a bit more, so I went and found a delicious meat place in Mokpo lol

This is Simdon Mokpo Pyeonghwagwangjang Branch, a Korean BBQ spot located near Pyeonghwa Square in Mokpo.

Here's the inside of Simdon Mokpo Pyeonghwagwangjang Branch. They have a baby chair too, so it's good to visit with kids!

Menu, prices, and what's in the combo platter

Here's Simdon's menu and prices. The combo platter is the signature item — there are 4 kinds of combo platters mixing whole pork belly, flower pork collar, simdeotsal (special cut), and pork skin, plus dessert menu items. You can also add extra meat separately, which is even better haha?? What's special about Simdon is that they use duroc pork, a premium pork breed known as one of the world's top 3 breeds!

What is duroc pork?

What was ordered — Simdon combo platter (medium) ₩43,000 / rice ₩1,000 / bone-broth mil-myeon ₩6,000

Side dishes and the free steamed egg before 6pm

Here are Simdon's side dishes! Various sauces to go with the meat, wild garlic leaves, scallion salad, and even doenjang sul-bap (soybean paste rice)!!

Even the basic side dishes weren't lacking — full of beef brisket and filling! The seasoning was also nicely salty, perfect for a shot of soju before the meat even arrives...🤣

If you visit Simdon Mokpo Pyeonghwagwangjang Branch before 6pm, you get free steamed egg!! The visual, looking like it's about to burst, is amazing~ Covered in a thick blanket of cheese, it's savory on top of savory and even more delicious

How the grilled combo platter tasted, served fully cooked

The long-awaited Simdon combo platter (medium) has arrived! It's great that you don't have to grill it yourself, and since it comes already grilled, there's no worry about oil splattering, plus it's topped generously with vegetables for a rich visual too! Shall we try it now haha~~?

Following the guide on how to enjoy the meat best, I tried it in various ways!

The meat is so savory yet juicy, it's just too lovable ㅠㅠ The subtle charcoal aroma was also great.. From the first bite you instantly understand why this is a top meat spot in Mokpo... There were so many different sauces and vegetables that I could eat it all without getting tired of it 👍

Dessert: bone-broth mil-myeon

I also ordered the bone-broth mil-myeon (wheat noodles), and the subtle bone broth flavor combined with the tangy-sweet sauce and the chewy noodles was just insane... It was a flavor I'd never had before, and I kept slurping it up as if hypnotized 🤣

Cleaned my plate again today lol. But I really think this place is perfect not just in value for money but also in emotional satisfaction. The meat was just so delicious ㅠㅠ

Finished off with the free pineapple enzyme drink for good measure! (Somehow feels like it takes away a bit of the guilt lol?) It was such a happy day finding a delicious meat place near Pyeonghwa Square in Mokpo ㅠㅠ I honestly wanted to beg them to open a branch in Gwangju too lol

If you're looking for a good meat restaurant in Sangdong, Mokpo, a great-value meat place in Mokpo, a delicious meat restaurant in Mokpo, or a meat place open late in Mokpo, I can confidently recommend Simdon 👍
