After my wife and I browsed the small shops in Gwangalli and got hungry, we went to Donbegi Gwang-an Branch. I remembered it as a place known for its 480-hour-aged pork. ![A Gwangalli small-shop outing with my wife](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-01-1dp00-839.webp) The address is the first and second floors, 34 Millakbon-dong-ro 11beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea. The hours listed in the original post are noon to 11 PM every day. ![Donbegi Gwang-an Branch in Minrak-dong, Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-02-rahkg-966.webp) It is near Gwangalli Beach in Minrak-dong, so it was easy to walk over after looking around the small shops. ![Around Donbegi Gwang-an Branch near Gwangalli Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-03-llq87-966.webp) It is also within walking distance of Gwangan Station. Parking is listed as free for two hours at the Seohui Starhills Centum Primo underground parking lot. ## What was it like dining as a couple in a private room? The restaurant was divided into a regular hall on the first floor and rooms on the second. We were shown to a second-floor room, where my wife and I could sit privately. The staff guided us kindly, and I thought it would suit not only a meal for two but also a family gathering. It is also introduced as a pet-friendly restaurant. This visit, however, was just a meal for my wife and me. ## What came in the assorted set? ![Donbegi Gwang-an Branch menu viewed before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-04-1ctwx-966.webp) We ordered the 600 assorted set. It included 400 g of shoulder rack and 200 g of ogyeopsal (five-layer pork belly), and we also had myeongranbap (rice with pollock roe) and medium-spicy stone-pot kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup). ## Which side dishes went well with the pork? ![Basic table setting at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-05-1xej6-966.webp) Once we sat down, the basic table setting was laid out. ![Side dishes for pork on Donbegi's table](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-06-1ghdi-966.webp) There were pickled shredded chili peppers, pickled gungchae (stem lettuce), fresh kimchi, shiitake mushroom wasabi, and pollock roe. ![Pork setting with pickles and pollock roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-07-bdy1d-966.webp) The pickled shredded chili peppers were pungent and clean-tasting, helping cut the richness as we ate the meat. I also kept reaching for the pollock roe, which added savoriness when placed a little at a time on the pork. ## How did the aged shoulder rack taste, and how did we eat it? Our 600 assorted set arrived. ![Assorted pork set ordered at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-08-4sgcg-966.webp) With both shoulder rack and ogyeopsal, the set let us compare the textures of the two cuts. ![Donbegi assorted set with shoulder rack and ogyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-09-1t48c-966.webp) Not long after we ordered, the meat arrived par-grilled, and a staff member trimmed it at the table. ![Donbegi's par-grilled pork being trimmed at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-10-1a0ux-966.webp) We finished cooking the trimmed meat over the residual heat. Since we did not have to keep watching the grill, it was easy to talk with my wife while we ate. I thought the available grilling service would also be helpful when dining with children. ![Aged shoulder rack cooked at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-11-hgit2-966.webp) The shoulder rack, a pork shoulder cut, was chewy yet tender. The restaurant highlights its 480-hour aging; when I ate it, there was no unpleasant odor and the meat aroma lingered. ![Aged pork grilled at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-12-79glw-966.webp) ![Aged Donbegi shoulder rack from the assorted set](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-13-mob4u-966.webp) ![Aged Donbegi pork cooked after par-grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-14-i72iq-966.webp) ![Grilled pork from Donbegi's assorted set](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-15-11h5a-966.webp) The outside was crisp and the inside moist, which even gave it a steak-like feel. ![Donbegi pork cooked crisp on the outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-16-itm6c-966.webp) ![Aged Donbegi pork with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-17-gte2y-966.webp) We tried it the way the staff recommended and changed up the accompaniments as we ate. ![Pollock roe and white kimchi with Donbegi pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-18-12r31-1200.webp) For my taste, the best combination was pork with pollock roe and grilled white kimchi. ![A Donbegi meal with pork and pollock roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-19-e43fo-966.webp) ## How were myeongranbap and ogyeopsal together? The salty flavor of the pollock roe blended well with the rice in the myeongranbap. ![Myeongranbap ordered with pork at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-20-v3teb-966.webp) It was topped generously with pollock roe. Alternating spoonfuls with the meat kept the meal from becoming tiring through the end. ![Donbegi ogyeopsal eaten with myeongranbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-21-1c3qi-966.webp) The ogyeopsal was cooked golden brown, and its rich fat flavor stood out when I chewed it. ![Golden-brown ogyeopsal at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-22-v39fi-966.webp) ![Ogyeopsal from Donbegi Gwang-an Branch's assorted set](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-23-1y74m-966.webp) ## Was the medium-spicy stone-pot kalguksu very hot? After eating some of the meat, we ordered the medium-spicy stone-pot kalguksu. ![Donbegi stone-pot kalguksu ordered after the pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date-24-12gus-966.webp) For my taste, it was not very spicy, just pleasantly peppery. The noodles were springy, while the refreshing, spicy broth reduced the greasy feeling left in my mouth after the meat. What I remember most from this meal was the shoulder rack's chewy yet tender texture and the combination of pollock roe with grilled white kimchi. Being able to talk with my wife in the second-floor room made it a satisfying dinner after a Gwangalli date. ## Where it is - Donbegi Gwang-an Branch (돈베기 광안점) (돈베기 광안점) - 1st and 2nd floors, 34 Millakbon-dong-ro 11beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 민락본동로11번길 34 1층, 2층 - 35.1575745, 129.1268109 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%88%EB%B2%A0%EA%B8%B0%20%EA%B4%91%EC%95%88%EC%A0%90/@35.1575745,129.1268109,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-margins/donbegi-gwangan-aged-pork-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
