I arrived around dusk in the evening, and the big lit-up 'Nopo Dwaeji' sign caught my eye from far away haha. ![Nopo Dwaeji Aewol's lit-up sign and exterior at night](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-02-1s7em-900.webp) ## Interior atmosphere and seating Walking in, the interior was clean, mixing wood tones with stainless steel!! ![Interior mixing wood tones with stainless steel](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-03-xbm5y-900.webp) There was plenty of seating room, so it was comfortable to sit and eat with my group! ![Spacious grill table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-04-chta7-900.webp) ## Nopo Dwaeji Aewol's menu and prices - Black pork geun-gogi (thick-cut) (BEST): 600g – ₩72,000 - Neck meat add-on: 400g – ₩48,000 - Pork belly add-on: 400g – ₩48,000 - Jeju galmaegisal (skirt meat) (BEST): 200g – ₩24,000 - Hangjeongsal (pork jowl) (BEST): 200g – ₩26,000 Once seated, I checked out the menu first haha. True to a Jeju black pork specialty spot, it was mostly built around thick-cut meat!? ![Black pork menu board focused on thick-cut meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-05-xwunm-900.webp) There's an event going on too, so make sure to check it out~!! ![Event poster displayed in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-06-92c6j-900.webp) ## Side dish setup — melt jeot, soybean powder, dongchimi After ordering, the side dishes and wrap vegetables were set out first!! The lineup was surprisingly solid! There was ssamjang, wasabi, stir-fried anchovies, spicy radish salad, and dressed lettuce, all set up~!! ![Table set with wrap vegetables and basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-07-2e2on-900.webp) What especially stood out was the dongchimi (watery radish kimchi), melt jeot (fermented anchovy sauce), and soybean powder!!! Apparently grilling black pork and dipping it lightly in soybean powder really brings out the nutty flavor!? The dongchimi broth was refreshing too, perfect as a palate cleanser between bites of meat!! The basic setup alone was so solid that my expectations were already sky-high before the meat even arrived haha. ![Melt jeot sauce, soybean powder, and dongchimi setup](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-08-8j0q0-900.webp) On one side there was a self-serve bar set up. It was great being able to grab as much wrap vegetables and side dishes as you wanted! ![Self-serve bar with wrap vegetables and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-09-1t7cz-900.webp) ## Hangjeongsal vs. galmaegisal, the flavor difference by cut I ordered hangjeongsal and galmaegisal!!! They came out piled thick on a brass tray, and just looking at how fresh it was made my mouth water haha. ![Hangjeongsal and galmaegisal served on a brass tray](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-10-d8t9v-900.webp) The one on the left with the pretty white marbling is hangjeongsal, and the reddish one on the right is galmaegisal!!! ![Marbled hangjeongsal next to reddish galmaegisal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-11-1bqrv-900.webp) Hangjeongsal has fat woven densely throughout, promising a soft, chewy texture, while galmaegisal has less fat and a chewiness that makes it great for a leaner, cleaner bite~!!! ![Close-up of densely marbled black pork hangjeongsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-12-17wej-900.webp) The thick-cut meat browning on the outside while staying moist inside... doesn't it just look incredible!?? ![Thick-cut black pork browning golden on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-13-1t1t8-900.webp) Taking a bite of the golden-browned black pork lightly dipped in melt jeot, the hangjeongsal was chewy while the galmaegisal was clean and light — each cut clearly had its own charm!! ![Grilled black pork being dipped in melt jeot](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-14-yi22r-900.webp) A bite with wasabi too~!! ![A piece of black pork with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-15-1pcq3-900.webp) ![Black pork cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-16-zgbs2-900.webp) ![Golden-browned black pork meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-17-y3khq-900.webp) ![Black pork enjoyed with lettuce wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-18-v08hq-900.webp) ![Black pork cooking over moderate heat](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-19-mnfnl-900.webp) The heat wasn't too strong either, so it cooked evenly and just right. ![Grill in the final stage of cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-20-14qav-900.webp) ## Final course — crab doenjang jjigae It felt like a shame to only eat meat, so we ordered a rice dish to go with it too~!! It came out in a stone pot, still boiling away haha. ![Doenjang jjigae served boiling in a stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-21-jp7n4-900.webp) The broth was rich and savory, perfect with rice!!! With the umami from the crab added in, it gave a hearty finish after all that meat!? ![Crab doenjang jjigae served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-22-1wju3-900.webp) ## How was black pork dinner near Gwakji Beach? So that's my satisfying meal at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol, with hangjeongsal, galmaegisal, and doenjang jjigae all in one visit! ![Table at Nopo Dwaeji Aewol after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner/nopo-pork-aewol-jowl-skirt-meat-dinner-23-1iwd8-900.webp) A place with a solid setup — unlimited wrap vegetables at the self-serve bar and Jeju-style touches like melt jeot and soybean powder!! Since it's near Gwakji Beach, it's in a great spot to come for dinner after a day at the beach!!
