## Nopo Dwaeji Aewol: a black pork restaurant near Gwakji Beach

We had lunch on the first day of our Jeju trip at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol, a black pork restaurant near Gwakji Beach in Aewol, Jeju. On the first proper day of our Jeju trip, I was thinking about what to eat and figured if you're in Jeju, you have to eat black pork at least once, so we went looking for it.

Wait, they said it would rain today but the weather did a whole thing... Somehow we ended up skipping breakfast for an 11am weekday opening run.

### Where do you park at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol?

It's behind the building, and the parking space is really spacious and roomy.

Since we came right at opening, they were still busily getting ready to open. The staff were cleaning like crazy, and honestly, for a barbecue place, the interior was really spotless.

## What comes in the 55,000 won lunch set for two

The Nopo Dwaeji Aewol lunch set for two is 55.0 (₩55,000), and mul-naengmyeon is 8.0 (₩8,000). The lunch menu comes with 400g of grilled pork (samgyeopsal or mokssal), your choice of crab doenjang jjigae or aged kimchi jjigae, and two servings of kelp rice — we'd had kimchi jjigae the day before, so we picked crab doenjang jjigae. And since mokssal is leaner, we went with samgyeopsal for the fattier cut.

The basic banchan (side dishes) come out neat and tidy. If you want more, you can use the self-serve bar. I love that a pork restaurant gives you fresh wasabi. Every single side dish was genuinely delicious.

## Aged thick-cut black pork, grilled and cut by the staff

Finally, the thick geun-gogi (thick-cut pork) arrived..♡ Black pork aged in an aging chamber — such an exciting moment.

The staff grilled and cut everything for us, which was genuinely so convenient. Since a pro was handling it, nothing got burnt or wasted — they grilled it quick and efficient, step by step. Thanks to that, even my husband got to eat comfortably, haha. Once it's all grilled, they line it up neatly on both sides.

Fresh lettuce wrap, pork on top, a good dab of wasabi.

Wow, it was so, so good..ㅜㅜ It had been a while since I'd had pork, and eating it properly at a Jeju black pork specialist, it just melted in my mouth.. The mild smoky char and the juices bursting together was amazing. Most of all, our 5-year-old ate so well that they finished almost all of it... Should've ordered three servings instead.

The black pork place we went to on our honeymoon five years ago had such a brutal wait that it dampened the experience a bit, but honestly, there are plenty of places with meat this good, so is there really a need to go somewhere with that much of a wait? Jeju black pork really has leveled up across the board.

![Kelp rice packed tightly in the bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-lunch-set-nopo/aewol-black-pork-lunch-set-nopo-17-1br03-900.webp)

### What is the kelp rice (dasima-bap) at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol?

This isn't just plain rice — it's freshly cooked kelp rice, packed in tightly, and it's got a light seasoning worked in, so it's different from regular rice. So nutty and delicious. Since we came right at opening, the rice was freshly made too, which was the best..ㅋㅋ

## Crab doenjang jjigae: mild enough to share with a child

Wow, the crab doenjang jjigae was genuinely more of a special dish than I expected. I figured doenjang jjigae at a barbecue place would be pretty standard, but the clear doenjang broth was packed with tofu, onion, zucchini and more, and thanks to the crab, the broth was refreshing while also having surprisingly meaty crab flesh in it — my kid loved it so much haha. It wasn't too salty, just clean and refreshing, so if you're coming with a baby, you could easily make a full meal just by mixing rice into the jjigae and cutting up some meat for them.

![Mul-naengmyeon with extra red sauce mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-lunch-set-nopo/aewol-black-pork-lunch-set-nopo-21-zh1e8-900.webp)

## Mul-naengmyeon to finish, with extra sauce on request

You have to finish pork with naengmyeon (cold noodles) — that's just the rule.. I was torn between bibim (spicy) and mul (cold broth), but I was craving something cold and refreshing so I went with mul-naengmyeon, with its ice slush floating on top. Normally they don't give you the red sauce, just vinegar and mustard sauce, but I was suddenly craving mul-naengmyeon with that red seasoning mixed in, so I asked for it separately, and they brought a generous amount, so I just dumped it all in haha. Sweet, tangy, cold noodles — perfect for cleansing the palate as dessert.

It rained and was gloomy in the morning, then the weather suddenly turned nice, and after eating such a delicious lunch, I felt genuinely happy on this Jeju babymoon trip♡ We ate solidly at lunch, so now we've got the energy to go play hard in the afternoon~ A successful first proper meal in Jeju.
