# Nami Island dakgalbi restaurant with potato pancake: Jayeon Dakgalbi - By Yukyung (https://superchart.com/en/@porcelain-bowl-turns/) - Written Sep 22, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Gapyeong, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@porcelain-bowl-turns/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@porcelain-bowl-turns/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/index.md) ## In short Jayeon Dakgalbi is a dog-friendly dakgalbi (stir-fried spicy chicken) restaurant right in front of the Nami Island pier in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi. On an early-evening visit with her dog Rungji, the writer ordered hot-plate dakgalbi for two (32,000 won), makguksu (chilled buckwheat noodles, 10,000 won) and potato pancake (15,000 won); the owner stir-fried the dakgalbi at the table, the seasoning stayed mild rather than harsh, and the potato pancake was crisp outside and soft inside. Tables at Jayeon Dakgalbi are spaced far enough apart to park a dog stroller, and the portions were generous enough that the two diners were too full for the fried rice finish. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1007-10 Bukhangangbyeon-ro, 1st-2nd floor, Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Weekdays 09:30-20:00 (last order 17:05), weekends 09:30-20:00 (last order 19:05) - **Parking**: Private lot in front of the restaurant; parking benefit with a meal - **Dogs**: Allowed (carrier or dog stroller required) - **Hot-plate dakgalbi for two**: 32,000 won - **Makguksu**: 10,000 won - **Potato pancake**: 15,000 won - **Price reference**: ₩32,000 ≈ $23.5 · ₩10,000 ≈ $7.3 · ₩15,000 ≈ $11 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ![Cover image of the Jayeon Dakgalbi visit near Nami Island](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-01-1hojt-900.webp) A recommendation for dog-friendly dakgalbi near Nami Island — Jayeon Dakgalbi. ## Jayeon Dakgalbi: address, hours and prices - 📍 1007-10 Bukhangang-byeonro, 1-2F, Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - ⏰ Weekdays 09:30–20:00 / last order 17:05 - ⏰ Weekends 09:30–20:00 / last order 19:05 - 🚗 Private parking lot in front of the restaurant - ✔️ Dogs welcome ## A dakgalbi restaurant in front of the Nami Island pier that welcomes dogs ![Exterior of Jayeon Dakgalbi in front of the Nami Island pier](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-02-1w0ux-900.webp) Jayeon Dakgalbi sits right in front of the Nami Island pier. Since I was visiting Nami Island with Rungji, I searched for dog-friendly dakgalbi restaurants and found this place! ## How big is the parking lot at Jayeon Dakgalbi? ![Spacious private parking lot in front of Jayeon Dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-03-zv2uj-900.webp) ![Full view of Jayeon Dakgalbi's private parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-04-gkzot-900.webp) The parking lot at Jayeon Dakgalbi is huge! You can park here and go visit Nami Island — but you do need to come back and eat at the restaurant, haha. I'd been worried about parking since the lots near the pier are always packed, but Jayeon Dakgalbi's private lot was spacious and easy. There are parking perks when you eat there too, so it's perfect to park and eat before heading to Nami Island, or stop by for a meal after you're done sightseeing! ## Inside Jayeon Dakgalbi: table spacing that fits a dog stroller ![Interior of Jayeon Dakgalbi with generous table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-05-1tg39-900.webp) ![Uncluttered dining hall seating during early evening at Jayeon Dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-06-hl9jp-900.webp) I visited early in the evening and the place was pleasantly uncluttered. Lots of tables too, so it'd be good for group visits as well. Seating can be awkward when dining out with a dog, but Jayeon Dakgalbi's interior is spacious with generous table spacing, so you can bring a dog stroller and still eat comfortably. The owner and staff also doted on Rungji, so we could eat without feeling self-conscious, haha. ## What two people ordered at Jayeon Dakgalbi, and what it cost ![Menu board at Jayeon Dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-07-2dp6a-900.webp) The two of us ordered hot-plate dakgalbi for two (₩32,000), one serving of makguksu (₩10,000), and potato pancake (₩15,000)! ![Basic side dishes at Jayeon Dakgalbi including lettuce and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-08-10d0p-900.webp) ![Side dish spread with seasoned bean sprouts and napa cabbage kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-09-vnj9t-900.webp) Jayeon Dakgalbi's basic side dishes. Lettuce, seasoned bean sprouts, chili peppers + garlic, ssamjang (dipping sauce), pickled radish, and napa cabbage kimchi come out, and you can help yourself to more at the self-serve corner. The pickled radish especially was so tasty and paired perfectly with the dakgalbi, haha. ## Hot-plate dakgalbi for two with potato pancake and makguksu ![Hot-plate dakgalbi for two on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-10-mcfia-900.webp) The hot-plate dakgalbi for two arrived. So drool-worthy... Rungji just stared at it, ha. If your dog comes along, a carrier or dog stroller is required! Sorry, Rungji, only I get to eat the good stuff... Once the dakgalbi arrives, the owner personally stir-fries it all for you. The smell was insane... I personally prefer hot-plate dakgalbi over charcoal-grilled, so I was full of anticipation. The hot-plate dakgalbi's seasoning wasn't overly spicy or sweet — not too intense, so it's the kind of flavor you keep reaching for! ![Seasoned hot-plate dakgalbi before stir-frying](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-11-1pbrt-900.webp) And the potato pancake I ordered......... I really love potato pancake, and this place's version is top-tier, so definitely order it... The crispy-outside, soft-inside texture was insane. I finished the whole plate. ![A full plate of crispy-outside, soft-inside potato pancake at Jayeon Dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-12-nncz3-1200.webp) The hot-plate dakgalbi, stir-fried to perfection, haha. Wow, the visuals are insane. The cheese dakgalbi looked delicious too. ![Fully stir-fried hot-plate dakgalbi at Jayeon Dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-13-1onfq-900.webp) The hot-plate dakgalbi was generously loaded with rice cake, sweet potato, and cabbage. ![Hot-plate dakgalbi loaded with rice cake, sweet potato, and cabbage](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-14-149fq-900.webp) The edges of the potato pancake are the tastiest part...... so crispy. Dipped it deep in the seasoning sauce, haha. The dakgalbi and potato pancake combo is insane. ![A piece of potato pancake dipped in seasoning sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-15-loghq-900.webp) ![Crispy edge of the potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-16-114vc-900.webp) Wrapping dakgalbi, garlic, chili, and radish in fresh lettuce. Ah, why does wrapping it in lettuce taste so good... ![Lettuce wrap with dakgalbi, garlic, and chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-17-1jeog-900.webp) ![Eating a dakgalbi lettuce wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-18-10slf-900.webp) I'm a garlic lover so I kept wrapping bites with it, haha. No gamey smell to the chicken at all, and it was plump with a great texture... ![Makguksu topped with roasted seaweed flakes at Jayeon Dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon-19-1n2jy-900.webp) ### Order the makguksu and you won't have room for the fried rice And this is the makguksu! Can't resist the dakgalbi-and-makguksu combo, haha. Sprinkle on savory roasted seaweed flakes plus mustard and vinegar to taste. The portions were so generous I couldn't scrape the bowl clean, sigh. By the time I finished the makguksu I was so full I couldn't eat the fried rice — I still regret it........ Such a satisfying meal though. ## A good dog-friendly meal stop on a Gapyeong and Chuncheon trip The staff were genuinely kind and every dish was delicious at Jayeon Dakgalbi. It's located right in front of Nami Island, so the location is great, and you can dine comfortably with your dog — highly recommended for anyone planning a trip to Gapyeong or Chuncheon! ## Where it is - Jayeon Dakgalbi (자연닭갈비) - 1007-10 Bukhangang-byeonro, 1-2F, Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 가평군 가평읍 북한강변로 1007-10 1-2층 자연닭갈비 - 37.8030847, 127.5245775 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9E%90%EC%97%B0%EB%8B%AD%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84/@37.8030847,127.5245775,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@porcelain-bowl-turns/namiseom-dog-friendly-dakgalbi-jayeon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
