Dal-dong, Ulsan charcoal grill: beef brisket and doenjang rice, Daewol

Whenever a good meat restaurant opens up, you gotta run right over!! A new charcoal-grill place opened in Dal-dong, so I went to check it out!

Daewol Charcoal Barbecue: the building and the parking lot

Daewol Charcoal Barbecue doesn't just serve meat — they also do lunch sets, so it could be a good lunch spot for office workers nearby too. If you turn right off the main road, turn right again and you'll find the restaurant; instead of that right turn, turn left and you'll find the parking lot!

The parking lot gives you a generous 3 hours free, plenty of time to enjoy meat and a drink or two!

Menu and prices at Daewol Charcoal Barbecue

Here's Daewol Charcoal Barbecue's menu board. The grilled items include Jirye black pork ogeopsal (pork belly), pork neck, seasoned galbi ribs, galmaegisal (skirt meat), plus Korean beef galbi and chadolbagi (beef brisket)!

There's also a variety of meal items like steamed egg, vegetable skewers, doenjang sulbap (soybean paste rice), and hangover ramen.

The first order requires a minimum of 2 servings, and apparently dipping lettuce in the doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) makes it taste amazing! They bring in meat from Gimcheon twice a week, so it's absolutely never frozen.

They say they only use pork with that crunchy fat texture, and you can really feel that crunch when you bite into the fat. The texture is top-notch.

What we ordered: 3 servings of black pork belly, beef brisket and doenjang rice

• Black pork ogeopsal ₩12,000 per serving × 3 servings
• Chadolbagi 1 serving ₩15,000
• Doenjang sulbap ₩8,000

This is what I ordered!

Pass right from the moment the wrap vegetables came out! They looked fresh with lots of variety, and banga leaf (Korean perilla-like herb) came along too. If you like banga, wrap it with your meat or toss it in the doenjang jjigae — flavor level up.

Basic side dishes: salad, pickled onion, myeongi namul (wild garlic leaf), silkworm pupa soup!

And there's cold boiled pork that comes out too — the deep meaning behind it being, have a drink with the cold pork while you wait for the main meat haha. Thin slices, but delicious — this cold boiled pork was a hit too!

Chadolbagi (beef brisket) and vegetable skewers

The chadolbagi (beef brisket) showed up, 1 serving. When you order meat, you get a vegetable skewer with cherry tomato, shishito pepper, eggplant, green onion, and mushroom all on one stick — and that's delicious too. 4 for ₩4,000, so ordering extra of these seems worth it.

You know chadolbagi, right? Cooked fast, sok-sok~ tender when done, dipped in salt — total win,,

Grilling three servings of Jirye black pork ogeopsal

The thick-cut black pork ogeopsal came out, 3 servings. The dark marks proving it's real black pork haha. I love these vegetable skewers so much! Please grill it up nicely for me~~

The fat on top of the ogeopsal gets nice and crisp — grilled hard on the outside but still juicy inside, crispy outside, even more delicious.

Looks like proper pork belly, right?! Since the meat itself is so good, dipping it in the plain salt was the tastiest way to eat it!

Wrapped in lettuce, also delicious~ The chadolbagi really melts in your mouth.

Doenjang sulbap (soybean paste rice) to finish

Doenjang sulbap (soybean paste rice)!! It's got tofu, onion, and various other ingredients inside — tastes a bit like homemade doenjang with a slight spicy kick, really good!

There's meat mixed into the doenjang sulbap too, soft and tender, and the portion of rice is generous, so I'd recommend it when you want something filling!

Stamp card and final thoughts on Daewol Charcoal Barbecue

You can also collect stamps — just 6 stamps gets you a free serving of black pork ogeopsal! By the exit they've got cool plum tea, Febreze, and floss set up so you can get rid of the meat smell.

This felt like a good place to go on a day when you really want proper charcoal-grilled meat. Especially if you're looking for a spot in Dal-dong to enjoy meat comfortably with family or friends, or if you want to try pork that's a bit different from your usual samgyeopsal or pork neck, the Jirye black pork assorted set might be worth a try too.

Personally, my favorite combo was grilling meat over charcoal alongside rice and doenjang sulbap. If you've been looking for a meat restaurant in Dal-dong, Ulsan, save Daewol Charcoal Barbecue. Next time I'll try other menu items and write another review :)
