We had 300 g portions of marinated pork ribs with seafood doenjang sulbap, and the tender meat, clean dining room, and self-service bar all made a great impression. Verdict: a solid pick for family gatherings or work dinners. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Parking**: Free parking for 5 cars: 3 in front and 2 mechanical spaces - **Marinated pork ribs**: 300 g per serving, ₩19,000 - **Marinated pork neck**: ₩17,000 - **Pork belly**: ₩17,000 - **Beef rib meat**: ₩18,000 - **Seafood doenjang stew**: ₩8,000 - **Seafood doenjang pot rice**: ₩9,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ![Featured image of Dwaeji Galbi Dwaegal Gongmyeong Soba Dapsimni Station Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-01-lfe7r-1200.webp) There’s a Korean BBQ place that is always buzzing with diners when you pass between Sindap and Dapsimni stations. It’s called Dwaegal Gongmyeong! I’d kept my eye on it, wondering, “How good is this place that it’s busy every single time?” Then, on a day when I was craving pork ribs, I went to satisfy my curiosity 😎 ## Getting there from Dapsimni and Sindap stations, plus parking Dwaeji Galbi Dwaegal Gongmyeong Soba Dapsimni Station Main Branch (돼지갈비 돼갈공명소바 답십리역 본점), a great spot for a dinner work gathering, is within a five-minute walk of both Dapsimni Station on Line 5 and Sindap Station on Line 2. ![Location guide for the Dapsimni Station Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-02-1osbk-700.webp) There is free parking for five cars in total: three spaces in front of the restaurant and two mechanical parking spaces. Checking parking availability before you visit will make your meal even more convenient. ## Inside the restaurant: group seating and a self-service bar There is group seating at the entrance. Since it is separate from the main dining hall, it looks great for comfortable group get-togethers or work dinners. Even for a Korean BBQ restaurant, the interior was exceptionally neat and clean. The floors were not slippery either, which made me think they must clean very diligently. ![Clean interior of the Korean BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-03-fvka2-700.webp) I arrived just after break time ended, so it was quiet when I walked in. But by the time I left, nearly every table—including the group seating at the entrance—was full. It must be a well-known Dapsimni restaurant among nearby residents and office workers! ![Self-service bar for extra side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-04-1p5tq-700.webp) *Self-service bar* This is the self-service bar, where you can help yourself to extra side dishes. It is kept nice and tidy too, right? ## Dwaegal Gongmyeong Soba menu and receipt-review bonus - Marinated pork ribs ₩19,000 / marinated pork neck ₩17,000 / pork belly ₩17,000 / beef rib meat ₩18,000 / beef yukhoe (seasoned raw beef) ₩200,000 - Mul naengmyeon (cold noodle soup) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles) ₩9,000 / aged-kimchi bibim noodles ₩8,000 / seafood doenjang stew ₩8,000 / seafood doenjang pot rice ₩9,000 / yukhoe bibimbap ₩12,000 / steamed egg ₩3,000 - Lunch menu: bowl kimchi pork stir-fry ₩10,000 / yukhoe bibimbap ₩11,000 / cold noodles with pork stir-fry ₩11,000 ![Dwaegal Gongmyeong Soba menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-05-1yqor-700.webp) Write a Naver receipt review and you can receive either cosmetics or ice cream on the house! ## Ordering marinated pork ribs and seafood doenjang sulbap ![Tablet ordering at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-06-1o7yd-700.webp) You can order easily on a tablet at the table. ![Order of pork ribs and seafood doenjang sulbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-07-1md7x-700.webp) I ordered Dwaegal Gongmyeong’s signature marinated pork ribs, seafood doenjang sulbap (rice in soybean-paste stew), and one bottle of beer. ![Pork rib meal set with charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-08-1mziv-700.webp) Two servings of pork ribs, banchan (Korean side dishes), and hot charcoal were set out quickly. ![Generous two-serving portion of marinated pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-09-pwnp4-700.webp) *Two servings of marinated pork ribs* One serving of pork ribs is 300 g, so even two servings felt incredibly generous! ![Wrap vegetables with kabocha squash and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-10-77219-700.webp) There were chilies, ssam vegetables for wraps, scallion salad, and kabocha squash and mushrooms to grill with the meat too. ![Neatly arranged Korean side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-11-jdkg7-500.webp) The side dishes were arranged so neatly as well. ![Dongchimi with floating ice crystals](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-12-gezmm-500.webp) The dongchimi (chilled radish-water kimchi) arrived with tiny ice crystals floating on top, and it was so refreshing and delicious! It went wonderfully with the pork ribs too. ![Pork ribs on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-13-1olbz-700.webp) ![Pork ribs with grilled vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-14-1v1q4-700.webp) I put the pork ribs on the grill along with the kabocha squash and mushrooms that came with them. ![Pork ribs cooking over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-15-1i27n-700.webp) The charcoal heat was strong, so everything cooked in no time! I cut the meat into small pieces, just how I like it. ![Charcoal-grilled pork ribs cut into small pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-16-554a8-500.webp) ![A bite of charcoal-grilled pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-17-1lfse-500.webp) I tried a bite with soy-seasoned onions and another with scallion salad, and wow—the meat was so tender and tasty. ![Pork ribs with onions and scallion salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-18-1ubg0-500.webp) ![Pork ribs eaten with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-19-1lx3o-500.webp) We each made lettuce wraps our own way. Since the pork ribs were delicious, they tasted good however we ate them. ![Pork rib lettuce wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-20-4uvux-500.webp) You all know by now that pork ribs and seasoned shredded radish are a perfect match, right? Piling on plenty of the sweet-and-tangy radish made every bite so good. ![Seafood doenjang sulbap with blue crab and clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-21-1rsxw-700.webp) *Seafood doenjang sulbap* ## Is the seafood doenjang sulbap a must-order? The seafood doenjang sulbap I ordered to eat with the meat arrived too, and when I tried it… wow, everyone, you absolutely have to order this!! ![Doenjang sulbap loaded with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-22-18zf1-600.webp) ![Seafood doenjang sulbap with plenty of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-23-1aype-600.webp) It was loaded with seafood, including blue crab and clams. There was a reeeally generous amount of rice too. It is easier to eat than ordering doenjang stew and rice separately, the rice absorbs the seasoning beautifully, and it pairs so well with the sweet pork ribs. ![Seafood doenjang sulbap served with dongchimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup-24-162tw-700.webp) The seafood doenjang sulbap and dongchimi were such a great pairing that I thought, “I’m so glad I ordered this!” I had planned to finish with a bowl of cold noodles, but thanks to the doenjang sulbap (?) I was far too full, so I skipped the noodles 😅 ## Why I recommend it for Dapsimni family gatherings and work dinners Compared with other Korean BBQ restaurants around Dapsimni, this place was so clean and well kept that I would recommend it for family gatherings with children or work dinners. Its signature pork ribs were especially tender, with a delicious marinade that did not get tiring even after eating a lot! If you are looking for a great Dapsimni restaurant for a Chuseok family gathering, Dwaegal Gongmyeong could be worth a visit! ## Where it is - Dwaeji Galbi Dwaegal Gongmyeong Soba Dapsimni Station Main Branch (돼지갈비 돼갈공명소바 답십리역 본점) - 12 Gomisul-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 동대문구 고미술로 12 1층 - 37.5698236, 127.0501753 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%80%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84%20%EB%8F%BC%EA%B0%88%EA%B3%B5%EB%AA%85%EC%86%8C%EB%B0%94%20%EB%8B%B5%EC%8B%AD%EB%A6%AC%EC%97%AD%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5698236,127.0501753,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-tasting-list/dapsimni-pork-ribs-rice-soup/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
