The writer and a friend ordered one serving each of gabrisal (pork shoulder blade meat) and gochujang pork belly plus doenjang sulbap (soy-paste rice stew), alternating plain and marinated meat while staff swapped the grill plate for them. Dojeok Hapjeong is a fun pick when you want several cuts and side dishes in one meal. ## Good to know - **Location**: About a 5-minute walk from Sangsu Station, between Sangsu and Hapjeong stations - **Restaurant**: Two floors - **How to order**: Kiosk ordering at the table - **What was ordered**: Gabrisal (1 serving), gochujang pork belly (1 serving), doenjang sulbap - **Ordering rule**: Plain and marinated meat can each be ordered as a single serving - **Event**: Free side menu item for writing a receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ## Where is Dojeok Hapjeong? Between Sangsu and Hapjeong stations I visited Dojeok Hapjeong for dinner with a friend while we were around Hongdae. It's located toward the end of the Hongdae strip, about a 5-minute walk from Sangsu Station, so it was easy to get to. A solid pick if you're looking for a place to eat meat between Sangsu and Hapjeong stations. ![Exterior of Dojeok Hapjeong near Sangsu Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-01-1h8fa-900.webp) ![The crooked-lettered sign of Dojeok Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-02-1vjmy-900.webp) The first thing that caught my eye outside was the sign — the lettering was written deliberately crooked, giving it a different feel from a typical BBQ restaurant sign. Kind of retro and unique, which I found cute haha. Inside, the place was bigger than expected. It's two floors total, and we ate on the first floor that day. I was curious about the table spacing and overall atmosphere for a meat restaurant, and it was pretty neatly arranged overall. ![View of the first floor interior at Dojeok Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-03-1qk5j-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged interior of the BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-04-1ds7a-m-900.webp) ![Table seating area inside Dojeok Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-05-1rph6-900.webp) ![Interior of the two-floor Dojeok Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-06-ysghd-900.webp) You could see meat aging on one side of the restaurant. The kitchen was also somewhat open, so you could see the cooking in progress, and it looked well kept and clean, which I liked. ![Meat aging on display inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-07-1x0rj-900.webp) *The aging meat visible on one side of the restaurant* ## Ordering one serving each of plain and marinated pork at Dojeok Hapjeong You order using the kiosk at your table. Looking through the menu, the gochujang pork belly caught my eye. I don't often see pork belly grilled with gochujang (red chili paste) marinade at regular BBQ places, so I was a bit curious. ![Meat menu shown on the table kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-08-oodze-900.webp) ![Order menu including gochujang pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-09-13ht2-900.webp) What we ordered that day: one serving of gabrisal, one serving of gochujang pork belly, and doenjang sulbap. What I personally liked was being able to order plain and marinated meat in one serving each. At some BBQ restaurants you have to order two or more servings of the same type from the start, but here you could pick one of each, which seems great for anyone who wants to try several menu items. ![Individually wrapped dining spoons](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-10-olpwr-900.webp) *Personally, I really like these individually wrapped spoons haha* After ordering, the side dishes came out first. There was quite a variety — myeongi namul (mountain leek), ssammu (pickled radish wrap), scallion-and-bean-sprout salad, kimchi, garlic, macaroni salad, and more. With several accompaniments to pair with the meat, it was fun trying different combinations. ![Side dishes including myeongi namul and ssammu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-11-1sg6h-900.webp) *A variety of side dishes, from myeongi namul to ssammu to scallion-bean-sprout salad* ## Starting dinner with gabrisal and bokbunja wine They coated the grill plate first, and then the gabrisal came out. We grilled it to a nice golden brown, and it was great for enjoying the flavor of the meat itself, and also had a different feel eaten together with the myeongi namul or the scallion-bean-sprout salad. Eating meat calls for a drink, so we also ordered a bottle of bokbunja (black raspberry wine) haha. ![Bokbunja wine ordered alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-12-1jk9p-900.webp) *Bokbunja wine paired with the meat* Sipping slowly with the meat while chatting about this and that, the dinner mood really started to set in. ![Dinner table with gabrisal and bokbunja wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-13-1ncyx-1200.webp) ### Doenjang sulbap: the hearty soy-paste rice between bites of meat After a bit of a wait, the doenjang sulbap arrived too. It looked delicious even just bubbling away in the stone pot. ![Doenjang sulbap served in a stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-14-ln8kj-900.webp) Eating a spoonful of doenjang sulbap between bites of meat worked really well together. The soy paste-based broth was good to eat between bites of meat, and with rice included it was hearty enough as a meal on its own. ## Gochujang pork belly, grilled in the kitchen and brought to the table And then the thing I was most curious about that day: the gochujang pork belly. Rather than grilling it yourself at the table like regular pork belly, it's grilled in the kitchen and brought out to you. The kiosk mentioned that AI is used to grill the meat before serving it, which I found surprising. We're now in an era where AI is used to grill meat at BBQ restaurants too, haha. ![Gochujang pork belly grilled and brought from the kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-15-1gc2k-900.webp) *Dojeok's gochujang pork belly, grilled in the kitchen* Having the marinated meat grilled separately and brought to us meant we didn't have to wait to eat the plain meat before grilling it again. I liked being able to alternate between gabrisal and gochujang pork belly, and the marinated meat had that distinct marinade flavor, giving it a clearly different feel from the plain meat. ![A spread of gabrisal and gochujang pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-16-dylgh-900.webp) ![Marinated meat paired with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-17-5z1i3-900.webp) ![Dinner table with gochujang pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-18-q7065-900.webp) After we finished the gabrisal, the staff swapped the grill plate for one suited to the marinated meat. Thanks to that, we could reheat the already-grilled gochujang pork belly too. It was convenient not having to swap the grill plate ourselves while eating — they took care of it. ![Grill plate swapped out for marinated meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-19-thzcl-900.webp) *After finishing the gabrisal, the grill plate was swapped for marinated meat* Personally, I prefer alternating between several types of meat rather than sticking to just one kind, and that day I liked being able to order gabrisal and gochujang pork belly together. With several side dishes too, it was fun switching up the combinations — trying meat with myeongi namul, then with scallions. ![Meat eaten with a variety of side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-20-mb7cf-900.webp) *Yum* They were also running a receipt review event. Since you can get a free side menu item for writing a review, it might be worth checking the details if you visit. ![Information on the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner-21-1gihm-900.webp) *A Naver receipt review event was also underway* ## Is Dojeok Hapjeong good for sharing several cuts with a friend? Overall, the restaurant had a clean atmosphere and the staff were friendly, making for a comfortable meal. What I liked most was being able to order plain and marinated meat in single servings each. If you visit with a group, it seems like a great way to pick different meats according to everyone's taste, and with two floors it looked good for group visits too. Being close to Sangsu Station made it convenient for setting up a dinner with a friend, and it's not too far from the Hongdae strip either, so it's a good location for a second round of drinks nearby after the meal. > Overall, the food was tasty and the restaurant was clean, which made for a satisfying visit. Rather than sticking to the usual samgyeopsal or mokssal, it's more fun to visit when you want to enjoy something different alongside it, like gabrisal and gochujang pork belly. ## Where it is - Dojeok Hapjeong (도적 합정점) - 3 Eoulmadang-ro 5-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 어울마당로5길 3 도적 - 37.548834, 126.9201769 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%84%EC%A0%81%20%ED%95%A9%EC%A0%95%EC%A0%90/@37.548834,126.9201769,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-lunch-lines/sangsu-doduk-gabrisal-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
