Pet-friendly Korean BBQ in Namyangju: Udontan Dasan Main Branch

I visited a barbecue restaurant near Dasan Station where they grill the meat deliciously for you, and I’m here to introduce it. It’s Udontan Dasan Main Branch (우돈탄 다산본점).

Udontan Dasan Main Branch visit information

There is dedicated parking, so you can park inside the building.

Another major feature was that pets are welcome. While I was eating, one guest had brought along a dog, and it sat so calmly.

When going out for a family meal, it must feel bad to leave just the dog at home. This is a dog-friendly restaurant, and the owner looked after their dog so well that guests at other tables could eat without any discomfort. Getting to see a cute dog is another little bonus.

A generous spread of side dishes and sauces

Six different side dishes and four sauces came out.

Everything from the dressed vegetables and fresh kimchi to the potato-corn salad was so delicious. The food was neat and tasty, making this a perfect place for a company dinner, family gathering, or date.

A range of sauces came out too. The most special were the oil dipping sauce and myeongran-jeot (salted pollock roe) sauce. A whole piece of low-salt roe sat on top of the oil sauce, and it was really delicious placed on the meat.

Staff-grilled Dontan galbi

Marinated Dontan galbi ₩19,000

Dontan galbi, par-grilled over charcoal with a house marinade, full of smoky flavor and a savory saltiness that sticks with you.

I ordered two servings of Dontan galbi.

It arrived already partly grilled. And, true to its reputation as a restaurant near Dasan Station that grills meat beautifully for you, they did everything—from setting it on the grill to cooking and cutting it.

The owner and staff worked so quickly. It wasn’t simply convenient because they grilled the meat; I could eat meat cooked deliciously by professional hands.

At restaurants focused only on ultra-cheap value, I always feel bad because my husband ends up grilling and cannot properly enjoy his meal. Here, we were both so happy to eat comfortably and deliciously.

They grilled the green onions that go so well with marinated galbi too, and it was really delicious.

We also ordered charcoal honeycomb pork skin

Charcoal honeycomb pork skin ₩9,000

Pork skin from Jeju black pigs, aged in a house soy-sauce marinade and par-grilled over charcoal.

I also ordered one serving of pork skin. It was only ₩9,000, but they took a long time and grilled it so carefully; I was truly touched by how delicious it was.

They pressed the pork skin beneath a heavy cover, making it crisp outside and moist inside. It was so good that I thought, what would I have done if I hadn’t ordered this?

It was tasty on its own, but even better dipped in soybean powder. A light dip was great, and when I thought of it as injeolmi (chewy rice cake) and really coated it, the flavor was new and so delicious.

I came here looking for a restaurant near Dasan Station that grills the meat for you. Because pets are welcome, I unexpectedly got to see a cute dog too, and had such a comfortable weekend meal out. I recommend it as a barbecue restaurant near Dasan Station.
