The writer ordered whole gamjagisal, green onion gamjagisal, and 48-hour dry-aged gamjagisal one portion at a time, all grilled tableside by staff, alongside a mini doenjang stew and fried tofu pocket gimbap.

It's a well-known Seomyeon restaurant that always has a wait. They've moved to a bigger space down the alley across from Jeonpo Elementary School! It's also close to Seomyeon Station Exit 12, so it's very easy to get to. Inside there are about 8–9 tables. We came around 5pm on a Sunday and only one table was left — full house! We got lucky and were seated right away. Right after us, people started waiting, haha. Waiting is done through CatchTable. There's also a seat with the window open, which gives it an outdoor-tent (yajang) kind of feel. ![Window-open seating with an outdoor-tent feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-02-17rl5-966.webp) ![Interior of the restaurant with about 8–9 tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-03-hn952-966.webp) ## The menu: order meat one portion at a time Here's the Dwaejinamu menu. The main item is gamjagisal, but they also sell gochujang pork belly and pork skin! And you can order each meat one portion at a time. A lot of places require a minimum of two portions, so being able to try whichever meat you want in single portions is a real plus. Whole gamjagisal, green onion gamjagisal, dry-aged gamjagisal, fried tofu pocket gimbap — we ordered the basic gamjagisal plus the limited items. There's also a good variety of side dishes to go with the meal. ![Menu board listing gamjagisal and gochujang pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-04-8oe95-966.webp) ![Menu board listing side dish and meal items](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-05-1h303-966.webp) ## Banchan, tofu pancake, and pollack roe After ordering, the charcoal comes out along with the basic side dishes: green onion salad, pickled perilla leaves, perilla pesto for dipping, and pollack roe. When you order alcohol, they bring it out in an ice bucket — a nice touch that keeps drinks cold. It gives the place a good old-school (nopo) atmosphere. ![Basic side dishes including green onion salad and pickled perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-06-5x2vt-966.webp) There's a tofu pancake among the side dishes — lightly pan-fried tofu topped with pollack roe. Genuinely delicious! A nice little palate warm-up before the meat. ![Tofu pancake side dish topped with pollack roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-07-63e9e-966.webp) ## Three kinds of gamjagisal, all grilled by the staff Our meat arrived. From the top: gamjagisal, green onion version, and dry-aged. Look at that gorgeous gamjagisal. ![Plate of raw gamjagisal, green onion, and dry-aged cuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-08-mjcjz-1200.webp) The great thing about Dwaejinamu is that staff grill everything for you! Gamjagisal especially has little fat, so it gets tough if grilled wrong — but with them handling it, there was no worry at all, which made things very convenient. ![숯불 위에서 구워지는 통갈매기살](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-09-bffyy-966.webp) ![A staff member grilling the gamjagisal directly](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-10-zg06v-966.webp) They grilled the whole gamjagisal and green onion first. I love the green-onion-stuffed meat series, and since it's a limited item, I couldn't resist ordering it. ![Green onion gamjagisal cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-11-1b13t-m-966.webp) The meat cooking to a lovely color. The green onion gamjagisal I was most looking forward to — high expectations here. Once cooked just right, they cut it up for you. All the staff were super friendly and even showed us the best way to eat it, so the whole meal felt great. ![Gamjagisal cut into bite-sized pieces after grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-12-1g30h-966.webp) ![Grilled gamjagisal portioned out ready to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-13-1mijj-966.webp) ## First bite with salt — gamjagisal this tender? Once fully cooked, the meat is set aside ready to eat. You can dip it in salted shrimp sauce or perilla pesto depending on your taste. I'd recommend the first bite with just salt. Wait, can gamjagisal really be this tender? The juices burst out and it melted in my mouth. Best gamjagisal I've ever had. ![A piece of gamjagisal dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-14-1amgy-966.webp) The green onion gamjagisal I'd been looking forward to. The crunch of the green onion balanced the meat really well and tasted great together. Since the meat is quite clean-tasting, dipping it in the house special sauce was also good. ### The eating method the staff highly recommended Grilling the pickled perilla leaves and wrapping them around the meat was ridiculously good. Grilling burns off the sour tang of the pickle and leaves just the crisp perilla aroma, which paired really well with the meat. Every table has tips posted on how to enjoy the meat best, so try it your own way too. ![Gamjagisal wrapped in grilled pickled perilla leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-15-1e7ds-966.webp) ## The 48-hour dry-aged gamjagisal was the best of all Another limited item: the 48-hour dry-aged gamjagisal. Apparently it's aged a full 48 hours to maximize the flavor of the gamjagisal — a premium cut. ![A cut of 48-hour dry-aged gamjagisal](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-16-1htvx-966.webp) The cut of meat was large, and they grilled it for quite a while. I found myself worrying, pointlessly, that they shouldn't grill so much gamjagisal for just one person, haha (turns out there's a reason it takes that long). Of the three gamjagisal types, the dry-aged one was my favorite by far. Truly tender, packed with juice — the moment your eyes light up over gamjagisal. Now I get why they grill it so long and carefully. So moist and delicious. Especially good with wasabi and perilla pesto — total flavor bomb. Who knew there was meat better than pork belly? Even my friend, who's not really into meat, raved about it. We ended up adding another portion of the dry-aged version. The portion was pretty big too, but it was so good it just kept going in, haha. ![Additional order of dry-aged gamjagisal](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-17-1y9b4-966.webp) ![Gamjagisal served with wasabi and perilla pesto](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-18-vbc6q-966.webp) ## Finishing the meal: ₩2,000 mini doenjang stew and fried tofu pocket gimbap Once we were reasonably full on meat, it was time for carbs. We ordered the mini doenjang stew (fermented soybean paste stew) and fried tofu pocket gimbap. The doenjang stew is only ₩2,000, so it's a low-commitment order — recommended if you want some broth with your meal. ![The ₩2,000 mini doenjang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-19-1qrr1-966.webp) Next up, the fried tofu pocket gimbap. The tofu skin is thin and tears easily, so I'd recommend eating it with a spoon. ![Fried tofu pocket gimbap filled with egg garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-20-1fh1m-966.webp) It's packed with egg garnish, and the texture paired quite nicely with the tofu pocket. At first I thought, hmm, this is really mild — but the more I ate, the more it grew on me in a strange, addictive way. We know our flavors, and it was even better loaded up with wasabi and mayo on perilla leaf — a whole new taste. Genuinely addictive gimbap! There are plenty of other rice/meal menu items too, so if you come with a group, ordering a variety could be fun. ![Gamjagisal inside the dry-aging chamber](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-21-79b58-966.webp) ![Pork neck and gamjagisal dry-aging together](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-22-1c3qv-966.webp) ![Fresh gamjagisal on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-23-3g0ws-966.webp) ![The restaurant's dedicated meat-aging space](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love-24-1r2wh-966.webp) ## To sum up The dry-aging process was on display — gamjagisal and pork neck were aging in a dry-age chamber, and the gamjagisal itself was clearly kept fresh. - Recommended if you're looking for a great meat spot in Seomyeon - Worth a visit if you're tired of pork belly - Even on weekdays it's busy, so waits at dinner are basically a must - Plenty of meat options beyond just gamjagisal - I only had gamjagisal, but the gochujang pork belly and pork skin also seem to be popular signature items - The restaurant is clean and friendly, and having the meat grilled for you makes eating very convenient Next time I'll definitely try other cuts. I'm 100% coming back. ## Where it is - Dwaejinamu Sarang Geollyeone Seomyeon Main Branch (돼지나무 사랑걸렸네 서면 본점) - 16 Jungang-daero756beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea, 1st floor - 부산광역시 부산진구 중앙대로756번길 16 1층 - 35.1593113, 129.0615728 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%80%EB%82%98%EB%AC%B4%20%EC%82%AC%EB%9E%91%EA%B1%B8%EB%A0%B8%EB%84%A4%20%EC%84%9C%EB%A9%B4%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.1593113,129.0615728,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gimhae-soup-stamp/seomyeon-galmaegisal-dwaejinamu-love/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
