Dongtan pork belly with gamjatang and milmyeon: Grill the Terrace

I went to Grill the Terrace, a place where you can enjoy Uiseong six-clove garlic together with charcoal-grilled meat, and the garlic-infused flavor of the meat was really impressive. The staff were kind too, and the tablet ordering system made the meal really easy — a solid spot for a family dinner or group gathering. Here's my review of Grill the Terrace Dongtan Main Branch :)

Where is Grill the Terrace Dongtan Main Branch, and where do you park?

Located on the 1st floor of the Megabox building at Dongtan North Plaza, Grill the Terrace Dongtan Main Branch is easy to get to, making it a convenient meeting spot. It's also close to Dongtan Central Park, so it's nice for a walk after the meal.

Parking is available in the building's own lot, so driving there is convenient too. You get up to 3 hours of free parking with a meal, which is a real plus when visiting Dongtan North Plaza without parking worries.

Parking around Dongtan North Plaza can be a headache especially in the evenings, so being able to use the building's own lot made it a great choice for a family dinner or group get-together.

Inside Grill the Terrace: seating and tablet ordering

True to its name, Grill the Terrace Dongtan Main Branch has a terrace-style space on one side, and the interior overall is spacious and kept clean, which made a great first impression. The tables are spaced generously enough for everything from family meals to work dinners and group gatherings, so I never felt cramped during the meal.

The wood-tone interior combined with soft lighting gave off a more refined, comfortable feel rather than the usual noisy BBQ restaurant atmosphere.

Each table also has a tablet ordering system installed, so ordering was easy and convenient,

and the self-serve side dish bar was well kept too, so I could grab whichever side dishes I wanted without hesitation.

Overall it's a clean, pleasant space that works well for a date, family dinner, or work gathering alike.

Side dishes and condiments at Grill the Terrace

The table was set generously even before the meat arrived. Grill the Terrace offers a nice variety of side dishes that go well with the meat, so waiting wasn't boring at all.

Seasoned bean sprouts, kimchi, pickled radish, macaroni salad, and pickled cheongyang peppers were prepared, along with garlic, pickled radish wraps, wasabi, wholegrain mustard, salt, and the house sauce to go with the meat.

The combination of raw garlic and wasabi paired especially well with the Uiseong garlic platter, and the crunchy seasoned bean sprouts were perfect for cleansing the palate in between bites. A piece of meat with just a dab of salt was delicious on its own, and adding wholegrain mustard or wasabi brought out a different kind of charm 😋🥩🧄.

Overall, each side dish was understated in a way that let the meat's flavor shine, and they paired really well with the Uiseong garlic platter.

Uiseong garlic platter 600g: beef short ribs and pork belly in one order

We ordered the signature Uiseong garlic platter 600g (beef short ribs + pork belly).

Served together with Uiseong six-clove garlic, this menu lets you taste the deep beefy flavor of the short ribs and the savory richness of the pork belly all at once.

Grilling it over charcoal kept the meat's natural juices intact while the garlic aroma seeped in subtly, making it even more delicious.

Getting to taste both beef and pork in one order is what I'd most recommend for a first visit! The portion was plenty for two, and eating it together with garlic meant it stayed enjoyable all the way through without feeling greasy 😋🧄🥩

Finishing the meal with gamjatang and milmyeon

We had gamjatang (potato and pork bone soup)

and milmyeon (chewy cold wheat noodles) too

You've got to finish your BBQ with milmyeon, after all
