I visited Jeju Oktop JEJU BBQ, Gwangju Gyeongan Branch in Gyeongan-dong, Gwangju, Gyeonggi. I had fond memories of enjoying black pork in Jeju, so I went for black pork again this time. ![Visit to Jeju Oktop in Gyeongan-dong, Gwangju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-01-s47mq-1200.webp) The address is 11-13 Gwangju-daero, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, on the first floor. The original post lists its hours as 3 PM to midnight on weekdays and noon to midnight on weekends. ![Jeju Oktop Gwangju Gyeongan Branch exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-02-12r4n-900.webp) ## What were the atmosphere and side dishes like? The restaurant was spacious and neat, with a Jeju-like feel in the interior. I was told that the meat is aged using both dry-aging and wet-aging methods. ![Jeju-like atmosphere inside Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-03-1co4v-900.webp) ![Atmosphere at Jeju Oktop Gwangju Gyeongan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-04-bmcsw-900.webp) I do not like pork belly or five-layer pork with an overly thick layer of fat. They said they manage the fat thickness here so it does not exceed their own standard. There was also a varied selection of side dishes, which went well with the meat. ![Side dishes served with meat at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-05-gruq9-900.webp) ## What meat and side dishes were available? The pork options included bon samgyeop (premium pork belly), fresh ribs, and shoulder-back sets, as well as apgogi and dwi-gogi cuts. I ordered the black pork fresh rib set. ![Pork set menu information at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-06-56w9q-900.webp) ![Meat menu information at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-07-91uwg-900.webp) There was also beef and beef set options. I thought the small yukhoe (seasoned raw beef) portion would be good when you want just a little taste or a light dish to have with drinks. ![Beef and accompaniment menu information at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-08-1ssi3-900.webp) Among the side dishes, ganjang gejang bibimbap (rice mixed with soy-marinated raw crab) and seafood ramyeon caught my eye, but I was too full to order them. There were several kinds of traditional liquor as well. ![Side menu information at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-09-10lfh-900.webp) ![Traditional liquor and meal menu information at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-10-17opn-900.webp) ## How is the black pork fresh rib grilled? Four kinds of salt were prepared. The staff explained which salt suited each cut, so it was easy to choose. ![Salt served with meat at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-11-13wmq-900.webp) The black pork fresh rib set came with mushrooms and green onions, along with a dol hareubang (Jeju stone grandfather) decoration. The original post noted a weight of 330–350 g, which felt suitable for two people at the time. ![Black pork fresh rib set with mushrooms and green onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-12-1vef1-900.webp) ![Black pork set with a dol hareubang decoration](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-13-qvgh5-900.webp) They grilled the rib meat first. It was a fatty cut, but it was tender rather than tough when I ate it. ![Grilling black pork rib meat at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-14-1ecgx-900.webp) ![Staff grilling black pork rib meat at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-15-2djd2-900.webp) ![Black pork rib meat cooking at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-16-3p2o2-900.webp) The staff grilled all the meat, so I could eat comfortably. When cutting it, they checked whether the size was right and how I wanted it cooked. I also liked that they did not grill everything at once, instead starting the next meat as what I was eating began to run low. ![Black pork grilled ready to eat by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-17-lx6nm-900.webp) ![Grilled black pork rib meat at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-18-25cpj-900.webp) ## Which sauces and accompaniments went well with the meat? I usually dip pork in ssamjang, but that day it was tasty even with just a light dip in the basic salt. The cream cheese sauce suited my taste even when I had plenty with the meat. As someone who likes cheese, I appreciated it even more, and the meljeot (fermented anchovy sauce) was not overly fishy. ![Accompaniments served with black pork at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-19-1r6ks-900.webp) I also ate it with myeonginamul (pickled wild garlic leaves) and wasabi. The rib meat was tender, and I enjoyed this combination too. ![Tender black pork tasted at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-20-1puzz-900.webp) ![More black pork barbecue at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-21-w8xkc-900.webp) ## Can the pork belly be cut to your preference? The staff grilled the pork belly as well. I heard that staff receive grilling training regularly. ![Jeju Oktop staff grilling pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-22-ezzcz-900.webp) ![Pork belly grilled by staff at Jeju Oktop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-23-1wzfk-900.webp) The fatty section was cut thick like five-layer pork, but they could cut it off and grill it separately if requested. Since I do not like chewy fat, I had it grilled separately. ![Pork belly fat grilled separately to preference](https://img.superchart.com/images/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq-24-1etzi-900.webp) I also do not like pork belly cut too thick, so I appreciated that they cut it to the size I wanted. It tasted clean with no off smell, and the grilled green onions were tasty too. Finally, I had pork rind. Since it took a little time to cook, they kept grilling it while I ate the meat. It went well with barbecue sauce and soybean powder, complementing its chewy texture. At the end of the meal, I also received a Jeju tangerine candy. I was satisfied not only with the meat, but also with the service that paid attention to my eating pace and preferences. ## Where it is - Jeju Oktop JEJU BBQ, Gwangju Gyeongan Branch (제주옥탑 JEJU BBQ 광주경안점) - 11-13 Gwangju-daero, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 광주시 광주대로 11-13 1층 - 37.4078846, 127.2599662 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%9C%EC%A3%BC%EC%98%A5%ED%83%91%20JEJU%20BBQ%20%EA%B4%91%EC%A3%BC%EA%B2%BD%EC%95%88%EC%A0%90/@37.4078846,127.2599662,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-detours/jejuoktap-gyeongan-black-pork-bbq/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
