We enjoyed the medium Simdon assorted grilled platter, bomb cheese steamed egg, complimentary doenjang sulbap, and plenty of accompaniments. Verdict: a wonderfully easy place to enjoy meat without anyone being stuck at the grill. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 16:00–01:00 հաջորդ day - **Last order**: 00:00 - **Restroom**: Indoor restroom - **Parking**: Nearby public parking or roadside parking - **Ordered**: Simdon assorted grilled platter (medium), bomb cheese steamed egg - **Complimentary**: Doenjang sulbap *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ## A fully grilled platter in Mokpo's Pyeonghwa Square I heard there was a great meat place in Mokpo where everything comes out grilled together on one platter, so I had to go! This is Simdon Mokpo Pyeonghwagwangjang Branch, located at Pyeonghwa Square in Mokpo. That yellow sign really catches your eye! ![Simdon Mokpo Pyeonghwagwangjang Branch business information](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-01-csx3a-900.webp) ![Simdon Mokpo Pyeonghwagwangjang Branch with its yellow sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-02-1x7pk-900.webp) It's a BBQ restaurant with a retro feel right from the outside. The warm lighting made it feel so cozy. ![Retro-style Korean BBQ restaurant exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-03-1uuyf-900.webp) At most Korean BBQ places, you either grill it yourself or someone comes to grill it for you—both are nice, but it can get hectic, right? At Simdon Mokpo Pyeonghwagwangjang Branch, everything arrives fully grilled from the start, so all you have to do is eat ><💖 ![Information about meat served fully grilled on one platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-04-10t9p-900.webp) ![Simdon's fully grilled assorted platter at Mokpo Pyeonghwa Square](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-05-1v2tx-900.webp) Even the fabric deodorizer by the entrance was such a thoughtful touch! ![Entrance area at Simdon Mokpo Pyeonghwagwangjang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-06-1d2rt-900.webp) Even though it was a weekday, there were already quite a few diners there~ I guess everyone wanted a relaxed meal, haha. ![Restaurant interior with weekday diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-07-1p9cn-900.webp) Besides the seats above, there are hidden seats that aren't easy to spot from the entrance too, haha. It would be sooo nice for a small group dinner! ![Hidden seating suitable for small groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-08-36zve-900.webp) ## A menu that makes you want to order every dessert One thing I loved here was that, maybe because they call them desserts rather than side dishes, all the prices were so reasonable? It just makes you want to order every single one.. ![Menu with dessert items](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-09-yk8qb-900.webp) We ordered the medium Simdon assorted grilled platter and a bomb cheese steamed egg too. I looked at blogs before coming, and the steamed egg looked absolutely outrageous… 😱 This was a must-order. ![Order for the Simdon assorted grilled platter and steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-10-da0eu-900.webp) ![Bomb cheese steamed egg order](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-11-gkryg-900.webp) Before the food came out, I read through the platter contents and how to eat it so I could enjoy it properly, haha 🐽 ![Guide to the assorted grilled platter contents and how to eat it](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-12-2y327-900.webp) If you write a review, they give you one Excellent ice cream per person, so it would be nice to post a tasty-looking photo and a pretty review, then have it for dessert 🍨 ![Excellent ice cream giveaway for writing a review](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-13-w7kbv-900.webp) They brought out myeongi namul (pickled wild garlic leaves), gim (roasted seaweed), wasabi, herring roe jeot, cumin, and more to eat with the meat. ![Myeongi namul, gim, and other meat accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-14-hbvc1-900.webp) ## Complimentary doenjang sulbap and bomb cheese steamed egg Lately, whenever I come to a meat restaurant, I've been totally hooked on the joy of having doenjang sulbap—rice in soybean-paste broth.. 🥺 And here, they give you doenjang sulbap as a complimentary dish..? It had plenty of tofu, meat, onion, and more. The meat takes about 10–15 minutes to come out, so if you have a drink with the doenjang sulbap as an anju (drinking snack), the meat arrives in no time, hehe. ![Complimentary doenjang sulbap with tofu and meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-15-1hkt3-900.webp) True to its name, the bomb cheese steamed egg came topped with a huge amount of cheese. Take a big bite~~ The steamed egg was fluffy and nicely seasoned, and the cheese softened its saltiness just enough—it was perfect 😋 My boyfriend said he could happily keep drinking with just the doenjang sulbap and steamed egg, and showered them with praise, haha. ![Bomb cheese steamed egg topped generously with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-16-s3jzx-1200.webp) ## How to eat the juicy assorted grilled platter Even the medium size was seriously huge.. I can't even imagine how big the large must be. It really has pretty much everything in it. Since there aren't separate add-ons besides the meat, I figured they might give you more if you ask for what you need? What they gave us was more than enough, though, haha. Look at the outside of that meatㅠㅠㅠ It was dripping with juices—and so was I. ![Juicy medium Simdon assorted grilled platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-17-nkpux-900.webp) I tried the combinations on the wall in order, and this was surprisingly one of my favorites, haha: gim, ssammu (pickled radish wrap), and herring roe jeot. I thought the herring roe jeot might be fishy, but it wasn't as fishy as expected; it was pleasantly salty and really good. ![Meat combination with gim, ssammu, and herring roe jeot](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-18-14z0e-900.webp) You already know the Maldon salt and wasabi combination, right? It's the most basic way to taste all those meat juices, and it's delicious. The scallion pickle in special sauce was clean-tasting yet addictive when dipped in it!! ![Maldon salt, wasabi, and scallion pickle in special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-19-1ansh-900.webp) It's delicious even if you pile in all sorts of things and make a wrap~ ![Meat wrap with various accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-20-1mx50-900.webp) Dip it in cumin, add onion and chives, and it kind of feels like eating lamb skewers? I loved being able to eat it in so many ways. Oh, and this pork skin was soft, moist, and chewy too ㅠㅠ ![Cumin, onion, chives, and pork skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon-21-17jpc-900.webp) It has a little seasoning, so it's good even on its own, you know? But when you dip it in soybean powder, the sweet seasoning mellows out and a nutty flavor comes through—so delicious~ Even the mushrooms full of moisture and the grilled pineapple.. You know grilled pineapple is such a treat, right? Thanks to that, nobody had to suffer over the grill, and we had such a comfortable meal🥺💖 ### Recommended for - Anyone looking for a great meat restaurant around Mokpo Pyeonghwa Square - Anyone seeking a relaxed Mokpo Korean BBQ spot where everything comes fully grilled - Anyone looking for a small group dinner venue near Pyeonghwa Square - Anyone who wants a casual drink with doenjang sulbap and juicy pork belly - Anyone who likes eating meat with a wide variety of accompaniments ## Where it is - Simdon Mokpo Pyeonghwagwangjang Branch (심돈 목포평화광장점) (심돈 목포평화광장점) - 4-1 Wonhyeong-ro, Mokpo-si, Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 목포시 원형로 4-1 1층 - 34.7987028, 126.4306195 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8B%AC%EB%8F%88%20%EB%AA%A9%ED%8F%AC%ED%8F%89%ED%99%94%EA%B4%91%EC%9E%A5%EC%A0%90/@34.7987028,126.4306195,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-lunch-postcards/mokpo-grilled-pork-platter-simdon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
