We ordered the two-person lunch special, added pork skirt meat, and enjoyed a relaxed meal with our 38-month-old while the staff grilled the pork.

Clutching our starving bellies, we headed to Nopo Dwaeji Aewol for lunch and some Jeju black pork. It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Takeout, parking, and high chairs are available too. ![Parking information for Nopo Dwaeji Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-02-1xjbl-900.webp) There is plenty of parking behind Nopo Dwaeji Aewol, and it is 10 minutes from Eco Green Resort. If you are staying at Eco Green Resort, do visit Nopo Dwaeji Aewol! It is nearby and great for families too. ![Exterior of Nopo Dwaeji Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-03-121mm-900.webp) Anyway, here is the exterior of Nopo Dwaeji Aewol. The name may suggest an old-school place, but it is actually super clean. There is a convenience store right next door too, perfect for ice cream after the meal haha. ![Nopo Dwaeji Aewol exterior and neighboring convenience store](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-04-k9dq4-900.webp) ## A clean interior that was easy with a child The inside of Nopo Dwaeji is truly clean and spacious. There was no lingering meat smell or burnt odor, and it was so comfortable that it felt like a great barbecue restaurant to visit with a child. Even the restroom was very clean. ![Spacious, clean interior of Nopo Dwaeji Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-05-1d188-900.webp) They bring a chili-based sauce of some sort (?), shredded radish salad, and pickled radish wraps, all perfect alongside black pork. Personally, I liked it best with the shredded radish salad. Though honestly, everything was good. ![Shredded radish salad and pickled radish side dishes for black pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-06-9k6vi-900.webp) Salt, wasabi, and ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste) come too, along with dongchimi (radish water kimchi) and seasoned lettuce. The dongchimi has a little spicy kick, so it is hard for kids to eat. Personally, the seasoned lettuce at Nopo Dwaeji was soooo good that I kept getting refills! ![Seasoned lettuce and dongchimi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-07-7kfnn-900.webp) My favorite banchan (side dish) 👍 ![The writer's favorite side dish at Nopo Dwaeji](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-08-1727h-900.webp) Nopo Dwaeji also has children's tableware ready, making it a great barbecue restaurant to visit with kids. Our child had the same dishes we use at home, so they could eat comfortably. ![Children's tableware at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-09-inox4-900.webp) ## The lunch special and extra pork skirt meat Nopo Dwaeji's signature black pork geungogi pairs pork neck and belly aged for over 168 hours, and there is also Jeju pork skirt meat and pork jowl. There is a lunch-special menu from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.! Side options include soybean paste stew, kimchi stew, spicy raw-fish bibim naengmyeon, and mul naengmyeon (cold broth noodles). They even thoughtfully have non-alcoholic beer, for your reference. Personally, I wish there had been steamed egg too..! ![Nopo Dwaeji Aewol black pork and side-menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-10-h9su1-900.webp) At Nopo Dwaeji Aewol, you can also get stew or naengmyeon by joining the review event. ![Nopo Dwaeji Aewol stew or naengmyeon event information](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-11-3222e-900.webp) Any side dishes you need more of are generously stocked at the self-service corner. ![Self-service side-dish corner at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-12-6yfev-900.webp) We ordered Nopo Dwaeji's two-person lunch-special set. As we ate, it felt a little short, so we added pork skirt meat. ![Nopo Dwaeji two-person lunch-special set](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-13-1fbl3-900.webp) ## Black pork grilled from start to finish At Nopo Dwaeji Aewol, the staff grilled the meat from beginning to end, so we could eat comfortably! ![Staff grilling black pork at Nopo Dwaeji](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-14-1ny0l-900.webp) The moment I bit into the black pork, the juices burst out—it had an incredible texture. The more I chewed, the nuttier and tastier it became. It was also tender rather than tough enough for our 38-month-old to eat. ![Juicy black pork at Nopo Dwaeji](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-15-h8t63-900.webp) Even Nopo Dwaeji's bowl of rice is not just plain rice: it is kelp rice, so it is chewier and nuttier. Thank you, Nopo Dwaeji, for putting care into even the rice,,❤️ ![Kelp rice at Nopo Dwaeji](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-16-16hjb-900.webp) ![Black pork and kelp rice table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-17-1fo9e-900.webp) Seeing it again makes me want to eat it again. The staff cut the meat into easy-to-eat pieces and even set it up for us, so going to a barbecue restaurant with a child did not feel chaotic. ![Black pork cut and arranged in easy-to-eat pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-18-106m4-900.webp) ## Jeju crab soybean paste stew and meljeot We ordered Jeju yellow crab soybean paste stew as a side, and wow, the broth was amazing. Thanks to the crab, it was so clear and refreshing that I felt I could finish a whole bowl of rice with it! Our child ate the tofu in it well too!! ![Jeju yellow crab soybean paste stew and tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-19-1fpui-900.webp) Our child seemed to find it delicious and ate eagerly. Nopo Dwaeji Aewol's self-service bar also has gim (roasted seaweed), which makes it nice to visit with a baby. ![A meal at Nopo Dwaeji with a child](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-20-1d3a2-900.webp) ![Nopo Dwaeji Aewol self-service bar with roasted seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-21-gmmic-900.webp) It is delicious dipped in meljeot (fermented anchovy sauce), and super delicious wrapped in ssam (leaf wraps) too, haha!! I used to think meljeot was really fishy, but these days I enjoy it because it seems to heighten the flavor of the meat. ![Black pork served with meljeot and ssam wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-22-1x5if-900.webp) We added pork skirt meat. The pork skirt meat is the one you grill yourselves. ![Extra pork skirt meat grilled at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji-23-1x1bm-900.webp) The pork skirt meat was tender too, with no odor, a pleasantly chewy texture, and a nutty flavor, so we ate very well and very full. Nopo Dwaeji Aewol is 10 minutes from Eco Green Resort and great to visit with a child, so do stop by if you are looking for Jeju black pork. ## Where it is - Nopo Dwaeji Aewol (노포돼지 애월) - 5-1 Gwakji 9-gil, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, 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-restaurant-visits/aewol-black-pork-kids-nopodwaeji/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
