Guro pork belly refill spot with self-serve draft beer: Bak Jeongmi

I've been going to a lot of wedding invitation meetups lately, and this time Guro Digital Complex was right in the middle between our friends' place and mine, so I went looking for good restaurants near Guro Digital Complex Station and remembered Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi haha. It used to be called Sagyejinmi Dakgalbi but recently changed its name to Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi. Same owner, so the food quality is still high, and it's had a cleaner renovation too, so I went without worrying.

Hours, address and the basics

• ⏰ Hours: Mon–Sat 11:30–01:00 (last order 23:00), Sun 11:30–24:00 (last order 22:00)
• 📍 Address: 29 Digital-ro 32na-gil, Guro-gu, Seoul, 3rd floor of Huijeon Building

Walking there from Guro Digital Complex Station, and where to park

Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi, an all-you-can-eat pork belly and dakgalbi spot in Guro Digital Complex, is only about a 1-minute walk from Exit 2 of Guro Digital Complex Station on Line 2, so it's very easy to reach by public transport.

Parking is limited — free parking in front of the restaurant is only available until 5pm. After 5pm, you can park at the Soksso Squid Market building 1st floor for ₩3,000/hour, or use the public street parking near Guro Digital Complex Station for ₩260/10 min. Also, if you spend over ₩10,000 at the Guro E-mart, you get 2 hours of parking; over ₩30,000 gets you 3 hours free, and over ₩50,000 gets you 4 hours free, so if you have shopping to do, it might be worth parking at E-mart!

Inside Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi: a whole 330-square-meter third floor

Since Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi is on the 3rd floor, you enter through the right-hand entrance when facing the building and take the elevator up. There was a simple menu board near the entrance, and it even had the owner's photo on it, which made the place feel more trustworthy.

The restaurant uses the entire 3rd floor, about 330 square meters (100 pyeong), and can seat around 150 people. I could see why it's known as a company dinner spot for Guro Digital Complex.

Since it was a quiet weekday, one of the halls wasn't in use — it felt a bit separated from the rest, so if you're booking a table for around 30 people, this side might be worth requesting.

What's on the self-bar?

And now the highlight of the place — the self-bar haha.

There was a satisfying variety of vegetables, salads, side dishes, plus wrap greens and sauces that go well with the meat. Besides dakgalbi and pork belly, there were also two kinds of fried chicken and soupy dakbal (spicy chicken feet), which makes this a paradise for anyone who's here to drink.

There were four kinds of dakgalbi — salt-grilled, chicken thigh, soy-sauce seasoned, and gochujang seasoned — and three kinds of pork — pork belly, pork ribs, and thin-sliced pork belly, so honestly there was almost too much to try in one sitting haha.

On top of that, there was even a station for making instant tteokbokki (spicy stir-fried rice cakes), which made me wonder how the restaurant could keep up such a labor-intensive setup and still turn a profit — the whole lineup was that good.

Menu and prices at Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi

• ✅️ Unlimited dakgalbi and pork belly ₩20,500 x 4
• ✅️ 2-hour unlimited drinks ₩9,900 x 4

This restaurant near Guro Digital Complex Station is famous for all-you-can-eat, but it's not limited to that — you can also order à la carte, which is good to know if that's more your style. We naturally went with the unlimited dakgalbi and pork belly, and since the draft beer here is really good, we also got the 2-hour unlimited drinks.

The order we ate the unlimited dakgalbi and pork belly in

Since seasoned meat burns quickly on the grill, the first round we brought over was salt-grilled chicken, chicken thigh, and pork belly haha.

We also grabbed pickled radish, perilla leaf sauce, and peppers, along with a variety of sauces — we picked spicy sauce, salt, and ssamjang (thick dipping sauce).

We were starving, so we piled all the chicken onto the grill right away — and the heat was strong, so it cooked fast, which I liked haha.

We tried the salt-grilled dakgalbi and chicken thigh first — neither was strongly seasoned, and the salt-grilled one had a soft texture while the chicken thigh had a chewy bite. Even though it's all-you-can-eat, the meat quality was good — no gamy smell, and it got tastier the more you chewed haha.

Next we grilled the pork belly — the ratio of lean meat to fat was solid, so it was full of that nutty pork belly flavor.

We also grabbed mushrooms from the self-bar and grilled them right away —

The mushroom quality was great too — not dried out at all, with plenty of juice, and the enoki mushrooms were so nutty and delicious that I refilled several times haha.

The last thing we tried was the gochujang dakgalbi haha.

As mentioned, the grill runs hot, so seasoned dakgalbi needs to be flipped quickly and often haha. The gochujang dakgalbi had an excellent spicy kick, and it paired really well with the salt-grilled chicken!

Two hours of unlimited drinks for 9,900 won, draft beer poured yourself

With prices these days, this 2-hour unlimited drinks deal is great value haha. Pay ₩9,900 and you can drink as much soju and draft beer as you want for two hours.

We love draft beer, so we went straight for it — the tap machine seemed well maintained because the foam was really smooth, and the beer glasses were chilled beforehand, so it was extra refreshing.

You can also adjust how much foam you pour from the tap yourself, so you can pour it exactly to your taste, which was nice.

Is Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi worth it for a group dinner?

Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi immediately came to mind when I was figuring out where to hold our wedding invitation gathering haha. For ₩20,500 you can eat unlimited dakgalbi and pork belly, which felt like great value, and even though it's all-you-can-eat, the self-bar side dishes and meat quality are good, so it's the first place I think of whenever I'm craving dakgalbi. On top of that, the owner and staff were sharp and friendly, so we had a good time eating without any hassle. If you're looking for a good restaurant near Guro Digital Complex Station or a company dinner spot in Guro Digital Complex, Bak Jeongmi Dakgalbi is worth a visit.
