I had the ₩39,900 Baby Pig Set with 500g of Jeju grilled pork, doenjang jjigae, and two bowls of rice; staff grilled the meat, and the sauces and grilled kelp stood out. ## Good to know - **Restaurant**: Jeju Oktop JEJU BBQ, Gwangju Gyeongan Branch - **Address**: 1F, 11-13 Gwangju-daero, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 광주시 광주대로 11-13 1층) - **Baby Pig Set**: ₩39,900 at the time of the original post; recommended for two, with 500g Jeju grilled pork, doenjang jjigae, and two bowls of rice. - **Grilling**: Staff grilled the meat during my visit. - **Hours**: As listed in the original post: Mon–Fri 15:00–24:00; Sat–Sun 12:00–24:00. *as written by the visitor on Sep 1, 2026* I visited Jeju Oktop JEJU BBQ, Gwangju Gyeongan Branch (제주옥탑 JEJU BBQ 광주경안점) for pork in Gwangju, Gyeonggi.

The stone walls and dol hareubang stone statues first caught my eye outside. Even before entering, it felt a little like arriving in Jeju. ![Stone-wall and dol hareubang exterior at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-02-1b5ft-900.webp) ![Gwangju Gyeongan Branch exterior with a Jeju-like atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-03-d5lct-900.webp) The stone-wall and dol hareubang decor continued indoors. One wall displayed autographs from celebrities who had visited, which I looked at while eating. ![Gwangju Gyeongan Branch interior with Jeju-themed decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-10-iralq-900.webp) ## What kind of pork do they serve? This is a pork barbecue restaurant where you can try several cuts, centered on black pork. The restaurant says it serves pork that has gone through wet-aging and dry-aging processes. ![Jeju Oktop restaurant serving aged pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-04-1f6ds-900.webp) Wet-aging matures meat in vacuum packaging to retain moisture, while dry-aging controls moisture to deepen its taste and aroma, according to the restaurant. There was also a separate dry-aging room inside. ![Dry-aging room inside Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-07-1gbec-900.webp) ![Jeju Oktop interior with an aging room](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-08-y657u-900.webp) ![Pork aging area at Jeju Oktop Gwangju Gyeongan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-09-1wu4i-900.webp) ## What are the Baby Pig Set price and contents? At the time of my visit, the Jeju grilled pork Baby Pig Set was ₩39,900. It is a set recommended for two, including 500g of Jeju grilled pork, doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), and two bowls of rice. ![Jeju Oktop Gwangju Gyeongan Branch pork menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-05-1bvs1-900.webp) ![Jeju Oktop Gwangju Gyeongan Branch meal menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-06-1az1f-900.webp) The basic spread came with ssam vegetables, chili peppers, kimchi, and pickled side dishes. There was ssamjang, several sauces, salt, and seasoning, so it was easy to try each piece with a different combination. ![Basic spread with ssam vegetables, sides, and sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-11-16jj1-900.webp) The pork came in thick cuts, and I grilled mushrooms, zucchini, and green onions alongside it. The meat was moist and became nuttier as I chewed, making for a filling meal with rice. ![Thick pork and grilling vegetables on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-12-o6gld-900.webp) ## Do staff grill the meat for you? A staff member grilled the meat, so I could eat comfortably. They timed the thick cuts for when they were ready to eat, so I did not need to worry about how done they were. ![Staff grilling thick-cut pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-15-1ckot-900.webp) ![Jeju Oktop pork grilling until ready to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-16-1fjxo-900.webp) ## What accompaniments went well with the pork? There were many accompaniments, including Himalayan pink salt, sea salt, pepper, and steak seasoning. At first, I also liked lightly dipping the meat in salt to taste the pork itself. ![Salt and seasonings served with pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-13-19s04-900.webp) ![Accompaniments enjoyed with aged pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-14-18j5f-900.webp) The cooked pork had a thick texture and moist juices. To my taste, it was clean without any off smell and became nuttier with each bite. ![Thick-cut aged pork grilled at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-21-n3jne-900.webp) ![Thick-cut aged pork barbecue sampled during the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-22-1tkm6-900.webp) Changing between salt, wasabi, and sauces gave the meat slightly different flavors. I also wrapped it in lettuce and perilla leaves. ![Pork with salt, wasabi, and other accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-23-p8hyg-900.webp) ![Aged pork enjoyed with several sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-24-fjdsx-900.webp) One combination that stayed with me was wrapping the pork in grilled kelp. The kelp's subtle sea aroma and chewy texture went well with the nutty pork. ## How were the doenjang jjigae and the dish my child ate? The doenjang jjigae included in the set had sweet shrimp in it. Its hearty soybean-paste flavor was joined by seafood notes, making the broth rich; a spoonful between bites of meat cut through the richness. ![Doenjang jjigae with sweet shrimp eaten with pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-17-hx3cn-900.webp) My child ate the myeongnan gyeran-jjim (steamed egg with pollock roe) well. The fluffy, soft steamed egg had savory-salty pollock roe, but it was not too strongly seasoned for the child eating with us. ![Soft myeongnan gyeran-jjim my child ate well](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-18-cpioz-900.webp) ![A meal with myeongnan gyeran-jjim and pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-19-1e5o8-900.webp) ![Pork meal at Jeju Oktop with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set/jejuoktap-gyeongan-aged-pork-set-20-bqkdd-900.webp) To finish, I had mul naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles in broth). The sweet-tart, clean broth and chewy noodles refreshed my palate after the meat. ## Where is the restaurant, and what are its hours?
