The writer sat indoors with her dog and ordered black pork geun-gogi, 24-hour aged kimchi jjigae and kelp rice, and staff grilled the pork at the table so it cooked very quickly. A Naver review event made the kimchi jjigae free and the self-serve bar refilled the side dishes, so Nopo Dwaeji Aewol felt like good value. ## Good to know - **Address**: 5-1 Gwakji 9-gil, Building 1, Unit 202, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju - **Hours**: 11:00–23:00 (last order 22:00) - **What we ordered**: Black pork geun-gogi x1, 24-hour aged kimchi jjigae x1, kelp rice x1 - **Payment**: Tamnaneun-jeon local currency accepted, with points earned - **Pets**: Dogs allowed indoors - **Parking**: Private lot behind the building - **Reservations**: Bookable on Naver (walk-ins often wait) - **Service**: Staff grilling service; free jjigae when you join the Naver review event *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* Letting you in on the best kind of deal in Jeju — a black pork spot where you get a free jjigae or naengmyeon just for showing up (well, almost). ![Table spread of black pork geun-gogi at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-01-uofcc-1200.webp) Black pork near Gwakji Beach: "Nopo Dwaeji Aewol" 5-1 Gwakji 9-gil, 1-dong 202-ho, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea 11:00–23:00 / Last order 22:00 Tamnaneun-jeon payment/points accepted Pet-friendly [Order] Black pork geun-gogi x1 / 24-hour aged kimchi jjigae x1 / Kelp rice x1 ## Where is Nopo Dwaeji Aewol, and how do parking and reservations work? Nopo Dwaeji Aewol sits right on the main road near Gwakji Beach, and there's a large dedicated lot behind the building — a real relief since parking near Gwakji Beach itself is notoriously tough. The building looks freshly built, with a big clean sign that always caught my eye whenever I drove past. ![Exterior of Nopo Dwaeji Aewol on the main road near Gwakji Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-02-1itff-900.webp) I'd read that the wait here can be pretty long, so I booked ahead through Naver before visiting. ## Indoor seating with a dog at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol ![Interior of Nopo Dwaeji Aewol with customers seated](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-03-1ops1-900.webp) The place wasn't fully packed, but for a weekday past peak season, there were still quite a few people — made me glad I'd reserved ahead. ![Dining hall of Nopo Dwaeji Aewol with generous table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-04-zff86-900.webp) Maybe because the building is so new, even as a BBQ place it felt clean and pleasant, and the tables were spaced generously enough that we could chat freely without worrying about the tables in front, beside, or behind us. ![A dog seated at a table inside the pet-friendly BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-05-1vg8i-900.webp) You can't help but feel a little self-conscious sometimes... but Nopo Dwaeji Aewol allows dogs indoors, so our dog Ttolbong joined us too. ## Nopo Dwaeji Aewol menu and lunch special ![Menu board at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol listing black pork geun-gogi and lunch special](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-06-1bcbm-900.webp) The star of the menu at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol is, of course, the black pork geun-gogi (thick-cut grilled pork). Beyond that, you can also choose other cuts like galmaegisal (skirt meat) and hangjeongsal (pork jowl) depending on your taste. The lunch special set — meat, jjigae, and rice all together — looked especially good value. Geun-gogi can feel like a lot for lunch, so this is a great option when you want meat but not a whole heavy meal. ![Basic side dish setup at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-07-1ioyp-900.webp) ![Dongchimi, mu-saengchae, and other side dishes to pair with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-08-1qxvs-871.webp) ### Side dishes and free refills at the self-serve bar Dongchimi (watery radish kimchi), young cabbage salad, pickled peppers, mu-saengchae (seasoned radish salad), and ssammu (thin pickled radish for wraps) — the various side dishes to go with the meat were ![Self-serve bar with refillable side dishes at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-09-162l4-900.webp) all refillable at the self-serve bar. One note though — wasabi sauce for the meat needs to be requested separately, so keep that in mind! ![Plate of sauces and side dishes to accompany the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-10-1xszd-900.webp) ![Bowls of mu-saengchae and pickled peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-11-15shv-900.webp) Of all the sides, mu-saengchae and pickled peppers went best with the meat, I think. Oh! And the dongchimi was the perfect palate cleanser (digestif?) at the end. ## Black pork geun-gogi grilled at the table by staff ![A block of black pork geun-gogi before grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-12-owh8l-877.webp) ![Black pork geun-gogi placed on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-13-ci5lb-900.webp) Nopo Dwaeji Aewol offers a grilling service, so you don't need to worry about tending the meat at all, start to finish. ![Staff performing the grilling service](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-14-1746d-876.webp) Whether it's the strong charcoal fire or just the staff's skill, the meat cooked really fast — great if you show up hungry. ![Black pork cooking quickly over the charcoal fire](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-15-5iwo5-900.webp) Another plus: sometimes it's hard to chat comfortably while staff are grilling right there, but here they grill quickly and then step away, so we could talk freely while eating. ![Fully grilled and sliced black pork geun-gogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-16-76fxa-900.webp) Black pork grilled by an expert hand? Need I say more — it was so good. Every bite of meat was infused with charcoal aroma, almost like a smoked sausage, with a hint of sweetness. ![A piece of black pork infused with charcoal aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-17-chz2y-900.webp) ![Black pork dipped in melljeot sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-18-1cimj-900.webp) ### Melt jeot and radish salad with black pork Dip it in the funky melljeot (fermented anchovy sauce) and the umami explodes. Fair warning: melljeot is on the salty side, so if you dunk it as generously as I did, you might crave a lot of water that night. ![A piece of black pork topped with mu-saengchae](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-19-m4mvp-900.webp) Piling on mu-saengchae is my favorite combo. I refilled it twice, that's how much I liked it. ![Lettuce and perilla leaves from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-20-1is07-900.webp) ![Black pork wrapped in lettuce leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-21-1hisr-900.webp) Oh, and the initial side dish setup doesn't include wrap greens — but head to the self-serve bar and you'll find lettuce, perilla leaves, peppers, and garlic ready to go, so fellow wrap-lovers like me, don't forget to grab some! ![Kelp rice ordered to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-22-1mwqs-900.webp) ## 24-hour aged kimchi jjigae, kelp rice, and the free review event To finish the meal, we ordered the 24-hour aged kimchi jjigae along with the signature kelp rice. ![24-hour aged kimchi jjigae with meat and tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-23-3o90y-852.webp) If you participate in the Naver review event, you get a kimchi jjigae loaded with meat, kimchi, and tofu for free. It's already a delicious sweet-and-spicy jjigae, but getting it for free somehow made it taste even better. It cut right through any greasiness from the pork fat and left my stomach feeling clean. ![Empty bowls of finished kimchi jjigae and kelp rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork-24-8l43e-859.webp) We cleaned out the meat, the jjigae, and the kelp rice completely. Charcoal-scented, crisp-outside-tender-inside black pork, a grilling service, and a free jjigae/naengmyeon perk — this black pork spot near Gwakji Beach, Nopo Dwaeji Aewol, checks every box. Don't hesitate, give it a try! ## Where it is - Nopo Dwaeji Aewol (노포돼지 애월) - 5-1 Gwakji 9-gil, 1-dong 202-ho, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 제주시 애월읍 곽지9길 5-1 1동202호 (1층2호) - 33.4519345, 126.3085923 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%85%B8%ED%8F%AC%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%80%20%EC%95%A0%EC%9B%94/@33.4519345,126.3085923,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeju-black-pork-corner/nopo-pork-aewol-pet-friendly-black-pork/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
