Family Jeju BBQ in Jungmun: Kkamang Dwaeji's cheese egg custard

Kkamang Dwaeji, right next to our hotel (Hotel The Grand)!

The wind was so strong that day that safety alerts kept popping up on my phone, and since I'd never experienced Jeju wind like that before, I was a little scared, so we stayed cooped up in the hotel all morning haha. Luckily this great restaurant was right next to the hotel, so I booked ✔️ through Naver and walked over right on time.

Location, parking, and hours of Kkamang Dwaeji Jungmun Branch

• 📍 21 Saekdal-jungang-ro, Yeomiji House 1F, Seogwipo-si, Jeju, South Korea
• ⏰ Daily 11:30–23:00, last order 22:00
• 🅿️ Parking available in front of the store

It's located in Jungmun, so it's a great spot to stop by while exploring the area, and there's a lot right in front so parking isn't a worry! No off days, no break time, and instant Naver reservations mean you can drop in on a whim or book ahead — either works.

Kkamang Dwaeji is apparently a native Jeju brand that only operates in Jungmun and Seogwipo. Since they only serve aged black pork, it feels like a trustworthy Jeju restaurant.

Inside the restaurant and the menu

The restaurant is fairly spacious, and we ordered the black pork lunch special. The black pork belly lunch special is ₩25,000 and includes 200g of black pork, rice, and your choice of doenjang jjigae or kimchi jjigae! Meat, rice, and stew all included — so satisfying ❣️

It also looked like this place was featured on a Saturday food show, 'Rice Is Good' or something like that,,! No wonder it's a real hidden gem,, made me even more excited.

720-hour aged black pork lunch special

They say the black pork is aged for 720 hours, and they even have a separate aging room — they're really serious about the meat! 720 hours is a whole month, imagine aging it for a full month.. how delicious must that black pork be. Truly a top Jungmun restaurant, Kkamang Dwaeji. If you come to Jungmun, you have to try the 720-hour aged black pork!!

Five sauces including melजeot

No Jeju BBQ meal is complete without melजeot (fermented anchovy sauce)! I love fermented sauces, so I really love dipping the meat in melजeot. Beyond melजeot, there were several other sauces, so I'd recommend trying each one. One looked like mayonnaise? I expected it not to be spicy but it was a bit spicy — still delicious. There were five unique sauces in total, and it was fun trying each one.

There was also ssammu (pickled radish wrap), bracken fern, and wild garlic leaves..! I don't think I've ever had bracken fern with meat before, so I was looking forward to it. I love bracken fern haha. And pickled onions too~

Pre-grilled black pork

They brought the meat already pre-grilled, saving grilling time — this is why it's a top Jeju restaurant ⭐️ The pre-grilled meat looked so appetizing too haha. Even pre-grilled, you could clearly see how fresh the black pork was.. good

Since it was pre-grilled, we just needed to finish it off a bit on the grill and it cooked perfectly — dipped it in the sauce after grilling it diligently, and it was truly delicious. Chewy yet tender black pork! The combination with bracken fern was amazing too,, ❣️ The saltiness of the bracken fern cut through the richness of the meat, and dipping it in melजeot let you really taste authentic Jeju black pork haha.

Doenjang jjigae vs kimchi jjigae

We ordered one of each to try — doenjang jjigae and kimchi jjigae. The doenjang jjigae has beef in it, and the kimchi jjigae has black pork in it, and both are delicious!

Cheese-bomb egg custard for the kids

Cheese-bomb egg custard! A must-order for my second kid who doesn't like meat haha. Can't go to a BBQ place without egg custard ㅠㅠ Loaded with cheese, so delicious too^^ Great to bring kids along, and just as great with grandparents — Kkamang Dwaeji is perfect to enjoy together on a family trip!

Final verdict

When you think of Jeju, black pork comes to mind, and Kkamang Dwaeji's 720-hour aged black pork is chewy and packed with juicy flavor — truly outstanding. Jeju black pork really is the best 👍🏻 If you're planning a trip to Jungmun or Seogwipo, be sure to stop by. A no-regret Jeju restaurant, a must-visit in the Jungmun tourist complex ⭐️
