The writer booked ahead for the Donpu Octopus Set (690g including octopus, ₩63,900) for her octopus-loving five-year-old, and the meal also included pre-grilled pork belly, steamed egg, cold boiled pork, a complimentary hot stone kimchi jjigae, cold noodles, and scorched rice.

Jangi-dong's famous pork belly spot, Donpu The Grill!!! If you're thinking "pork belly is just pork belly, how good can it really be?" — nope, nope, nope. It's seriously, insanely delicious. I've been to a bunch of famous pork belly places, but this one... this might really be the strongest pork belly restaurant I know. People kept streaming in the whole time we were eating, and it would've been a disaster if we hadn't booked ahead ^^ Reservation is a must!! Let me get into the details~~ ## Parking and location at Donpu The Grill ![Business info and location guide for Donpu The Grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-02-1hbd3-900.webp) Street public parking is available~ there's also a public parking lot near Donpu The Grill! One spot fits in front of the restaurant, but the public lot feels more comfortable ^^ Turns out street parking is free on Sundays~ so we parked for free!! ## Reservations essential, great atmosphere for going with kids We made a reservation before going... definitely make one... there are seriously so many people~ We got there a bit early, but at peak hours the wait was... haha ![Exterior of Donpu The Grill in Jangi-dong, Gimpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-03-g1czm-900.webp) ![Interior of Donpu The Grill packed with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-04-1lkp3-900.webp) When we went inside it was really packed! And there were a lot of families with kids~ It's a great pork belly spot to bring your kids to!! You can order at the table with a tablet! ### Menu and the set we ordered - Donpu Family Set (830g including octopus) ₩79,900 - Donpu Octopus Set (690g including octopus) ₩63,900 - Donpu Signature Set (540g) ₩55,900 - Hanwoo Couple Set (500g) ₩48,900 - A la carte menu items are also available! We ordered the Donpu Octopus Set for our octopus-loving kid! You can apparently order octopus separately too, but today so much octopus had gone out that they were running low, so it was only available in the set!! ![Checking the set menu at Donpu The Grill via tablet](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-05-9as3b-900.webp) ![Self-serve bar for lettuce wraps and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-06-1t6x2-900.webp) If you run out of lettuce wraps and kimchi, just use the self-serve bar. Take as much as you want... I got hooked on the sauces though, so I mostly ate around those~~ ![Lettuce and kimchi taken from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-07-zq3ai-900.webp) ![Basic table spread at Donpu The Grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-08-1qqhg-900.webp) ## The base spread and wasabi mayo sauce They set out the base spread for us~ grilled kimchi and minari (water dropwort) to eat, plus a tasty sauce, cold boiled pork, ssamjang, garlic, and pickled radish. ![Wasabi mayo and other dipping sauces for the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-09-9ax7v-900.webp) With this sauce around... the meat just keeps disappearing haha. The sauce lineup is really good. Especially my favorite... wasabi mayo...... it's ridiculously good~~ ![Bouncy, soft steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-10-yor3d-900.webp) ![Cold boiled pork served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus/gimpo-janggi-dong-donpu-the-grill-octopus-11-kue5k-900.webp) The steamed egg was so bouncy and soft~ perfect side dish for the kid!
