Along with the meat, there were lettuce wraps and all sorts of side dishes ready to go, great for mixing and matching one bite at a time!! And the basic spread included stone-plate kimchi rice!! The stone-plate kimchi rice is really something special — a kimchi stew with pork, packed with egg and rice, bubbling away on a hot stone plate, which made it even more delicious! ![Full spread of the Handon Couple Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-07-nfk00-900.webp) ![Bubbling stone-plate kimchi rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-08-18tin-900.webp) ### Side dishes and chilled boiled pork The side dishes included cold boiled pork and salad, among other things~ Dipping the cold boiled pork with white kimchi into the sauce was basically an appetizer in itself~ Chewy with tons of savory flavor haha ![Cold boiled pork and salad among the side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-09-1yxuh-900.webp) ![Cold boiled pork eaten with white kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-10-btvaq-900.webp) ### The sauces, salt and wasabi lineup The sauces come in three kinds, plus salt, wasabi, and galchi sokjeot (fermented hairtail innards)~ With wasabi mayo, ponzu sauce, and steak sauce, you can enjoy the meat in a variety of different flavors, which I really liked~~ ![Three sauces: wasabi mayo, ponzu, and steak sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-11-15jfx-900.webp) ![Salt, wasabi, and galchi sokjeot accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-12-1q6nk-900.webp) ## How long does the pre-seared aged pork belly take on the grill? First they put the pork belly on the grill~ Since the owner grills it for you, you really get to enjoy it moist and delicious. It comes pre-seared, so cooking time was shorter than starting from raw meat, and you just finish it off golden brown on the grill~ ![Pre-seared pork belly placed on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-13-xp3mh-900.webp) The pork belly had a good balance of fat and lean meat, and the surface turned golden brown as it cooked~ Taking a bite, the outside was savory and cooked through while the inside stayed moist~ Maybe because it's aged, it was incredibly tender~ ![Aged pork belly turning golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-14-t7d7l-900.webp) ![A piece of charcoal-grilled, pre-seared, aged pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-15-1sbk6-1200.webp) Finishing the pre-seared meat on the grill left the outside golden and the inside still moist. Dipped lightly in salt, you really get the clean, plain taste of the meat itself, and it's a whole different feel eaten with ssamjang or kimchi!! ![Pork belly finished off on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-16-tta8d-900.webp) ![Meat served with ssamjang and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-17-8zgvh-900.webp) It was so nice being able to grab plenty of lettuce wraps from the self-serve bar~~ Getting to enjoy cooked kimchi and minari too made this such a great pork belly restaurant find in Janggi-dong ![Lettuce wraps and minari from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-18-1uktl-900.webp) ### How the pork belly tastes dipped in Maldon salt Donpu The Grill gives you Maldon salt, which almost made me feel like I was eating a pork steak~ The Maldon salt adds even more savory depth, and wasabi ended up being my favorite pairing with it haha ![Pork belly dipped in Maldon salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-19-1ojlo-900.webp) ![A piece with Maldon salt and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-20-flhg7-900.webp) ## How was the texture of posamgyeop (rib-side pork belly)? Of everything I ate this time, the chewy texture of pyosamgyeop stuck with me the most~ It's the pork belly attached to the rib bone, and it has a bit more bite than regular pork belly, so if you love the texture of meat itself, I'd definitely recommend trying pyosamgyeop too!! ![Pyosamgyeop, rib-attached pork belly, on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-21-g3qa9-900.webp) After grilling it golden on the pan, laying one piece over a lettuce wrap with scallion shreds and kimchi cut down the greasiness and added a crisp, chewy layer of flavor~ ![Lettuce wrap topped with meat and scallion shreds](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-22-yonj2-900.webp) ![A piece of meat topped with scallion shreds and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-23-1l5qo-900.webp) ![The last wrap of meat at Donpu The Grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt-24-1h8g1-900.webp) ## Is Donpu The Grill good for a family gathering? Overall, if you're looking for a good spot in Janggi-dong, Gimpo, this place covers both meat dishes and lunch meals~ Comparing the texture differences between the charcoal-grilled pre-seared aged pork belly, the charcoal-grilled pre-seared pork neck, and the chewy pyosamgyeop was genuinely fun, and I'd highly recommend Donpu The Grill for a family gathering!! ## Where it is - Donpu The Grill (돈푸 더 그릴) - 23-6 Gimpohangang 1-ro 78beon-gil, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 김포시 김포한강1로78번길 23-6 1층 - 37.6444076, 126.6713242 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%88%ED%91%B8%20%EB%8D%94%20%EA%B7%B8%EB%A6%B4/@37.6444076,126.6713242,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@follow-the-appetite/gimpo-janggi-dong-grilled-pork-maldon-salt/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
