Today I visited Donbegi Gwang-an Branch, a pork BBQ spot in Gwangalli.

Inside Donbegi Gwang-an Branch: entrance and menu

Even before I walked in, the sign out front packed with menu items caught my eye. Donbegi centers its menu on pork but has quite a variety of meat dishes, so there's plenty to pick from depending on your mood.

On top of the meat itself, they've got plenty of side dishes to pair with it, so it seemed like a good spot for a meal with drinks too.

On the wall there was a poster showing off Donbegi's pork — thick-cut slices on full display, which had me thinking, "okay, today I'm eating meat properly." 😂 As a meat specialist, the whole place radiated confidence about its cuts.

Ssam vegetable self-bar and the Naver receipt-review side dish

Donbegi Gwang-an Branch has a self-bar with lettuce, garlic, ssamjang, onion, chili, and other essential sides for grilled meat, so you can help yourself to as much as you want haha. Even just watching the video, the smell of delicious meat practically wafts out haha.

A variety of side dishes come out even before the meat arrives.

Leave a Naver receipt review and they'll give you your choice of cold kimchi kalguksu, cold soba, stone-pot kalguksu, myeongran rice, or pork skin as a complimentary dish!

What comes in each Donbegi set menu?

Donbegi Gwang-an Branch's menu is mostly built around set meals. From the rack-leg set to the 600g and 800g sets, you can choose from a wide range of portions 🍖🥩. Note that the rack cut comes with the bones already removed.

600 Mixed Set: 400g shoulder rack and 200g ogeopsal, grilled by staff

I ordered the 600 Mixed Set (shoulder rack 400g + ogeopsal 200g). Since the staff grill the meat for you, we didn't have to do a thing haha. So convenient~~ Watching the meat sizzle away made the wait feel impatient in the best way 🤤.

While grilling, they also gave detailed explanations of each cut!

Even after eating all that, there was still ogeopsal left ㄷㄷ — a lucky day for eating.

First bite, no dipping sauce — let's try it plain.

How was the doenjang jjigae at Donbegi?

I also ordered a hot doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) to go with the meat ahead of time. It arrived bubbling in a stone pot, steam rising the moment it hit the table. The broth was spicy-ish with a savory depth, great for a spoonful between bites of meat. Eating meat nonstop can get a little greasy, so having this hot, tangy stew on the side really reset the palate now and then.

Put more meat on the grill for round two. As it started sizzling, that irresistible smell rose up — even in photos you could tell how appetizing it looked. Golden-browned, flipped and cut into bite-sized pieces, it just kept looking better and better!

Is Donbegi Gwang-an Branch worth it for a Gwangalli group dinner?

Next we put some thinner cuts on the grill too. With mushrooms and green onion grilling alongside the meat, the grill filled up and the whole scene felt like a proper Gwangalli BBQ restaurant. The more the meat browned, the more the juices and aroma came alive, making even the waiting fun. Freshly grilled and hot, it paired especially well with a drink.

Overall, from the quality of the meat to the variety of side dishes and the hot stew, Donbegi Gwang-an Branch was a satisfying visit. There's real fun in grilling and eating different cuts yourself, and it's a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal with a drink on the side. If you're looking for a place in Gwangalli to enjoy good meat with a group, Donbegi Gwang-an Branch is worth a visit as a Gwangalli BBQ spot for a get-together. 🥩🔥
