The writer ordered the samgyeop hanpan pork belly platter (serves 2–3) with Korean-pork kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew), steamed egg and meat-fat fried rice; the staff grill every cut for you, ready about 15 minutes after ordering, and the pudding-soft steamed egg and fried rice were the standouts. Imdaejang suits anyone who would rather skip the smoke and smell of grilling pork themselves. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 32-17 Dunsan-ro, Seo-gu, Daejeon (alley beside the GS25 next to Galleria Timeworld, same building as Yi Sun-sin Sogukbap) - **Parking**: 2 hours free at the Nokwon Building underground lot - **Ordered**: Pork belly platter (samgyeop hanpan, serves 2–3), Korean-pork kimchi jjigae, steamed egg, fried rice - **Main menu**: Grilled platter sets (medium/large, with pork neck, pork belly and pork skin), pork belly platter, pork neck platter, à la carte cuts (pork belly, pork neck, single-layer belly, pork jowl, pork skin) - **Sides**: Fried rice, two stews (beef brisket doenjang, Korean-pork kimchi), two noodle dishes (including bibim guksu) - **Service**: All meat is grilled for you, ready about 15 minutes after ordering - **Ordering**: Table-order tablet (extra side dishes and lettuce wraps available; no self-service bar) - **Review event**: Write a Naver receipt review for a free pork skin platter or one stew, once per table - **Dessert**: One soft-serve ice cream cup per person - **Closing days**: No regular closing day; open through the Chuseok holidays - **Groups**: Venue hire and group bookings by prior inquiry *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* Galleria-area Daejeon favorite, Dunsan-dong pork belly / Dunsan-dong grill house. ![Signature photo of pork belly at Imdaejang Daejeon Dunsan Branch in Dunsan-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-01-1sq92-1200.webp) ## Where is Imdaejang Daejeon Dunsan Branch, and where do you park? Today's review is Imdaejang Daejeon Dunsan Branch, a Galleria-area favorite in Daejeon. Walk past the big GS25 convenience store at Galleria Timeworld and turn into the alley on the left — it's right there, in the same building as Yi Sun-sin Sogukbap. With 2 hours of free parking at the Nokwon Building's underground lot, this is a Dunsan-dong grill house you can visit without any parking stress. ## What we ordered at Imdaejang ![Table spread with pork belly platter, kimchi jjigae, steamed egg, and fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-02-2bta8-966.webp) I ordered the pork belly platter along with Korean-pork kimchi jjigae, steamed egg, and fried rice. Not just the main meat but the side dishes too were all delicious, so I'd recommend ordering a variety. Even just the main dish alone is plenty filling. Personally, the soft, pudding-style steamed egg was a total hit for me, both in looks and taste. And the rice fried in the meat's fat at the end was the best. ## Inside and outside the Dunsan-dong restaurant A sleek-looking grill house. The seating is sofa-style, which is convenient, and seeing so many young customers made me think it already has a loyal following. ![Sleek exterior and entrance of Imdaejang Daejeon Dunsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-03-1tg15-966.webp) ![Wood-toned interior with sofa-style seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-04-1kcms-966.webp) Open the door marked 'House of Pork' and you're greeted by a cozy wood-toned interior — it feels like stepping into a warm mountain lodge. All the staff were friendly, and since the meat comes already grilled, it's easy to eat. ![Sign for the Naver receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-05-1ddco-966.webp) They're also running a big review event.

Orders go through the tablet, but it was nice to be able to browse the full board first. The main grilled platter sets come in medium or large depending on party size, featuring pork neck, pork belly, and pork skin. If you just want pork belly or pork neck alone, you can order the pork belly platter or pork neck platter. Pork belly, pork neck, thin-cut belly, pork jowl, and pork skin are also sold à la carte. ![Side menu board listing fried rice, stews, and noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-07-kjh25-966.webp) The side menu includes fried rice, two kinds of stew, and two kinds of noodles — and apparently the real way to enjoy Imdaejang is with the sweet-and-tangy bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles) eaten alongside a piece of meat, which sounds like the noodles are the real trick. I only saw this after ordering, so I went with stew, steamed egg, and fried rice for my sides instead. But the stew was genuinely delicious too, so no regrets. ## Samgyeop hanpan: aged pork belly grilled for you The pork belly platter is sized for 2–3 people. Doesn't that golden-brown sear look irresistible? It comes with myeoljeot (salted anchovy sauce) and sides of bean sprout scallion salad, grilled kimchi, minari (water dropwort), garlic, and enoki mushrooms. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The grilling service is fantastic! It's grilled fresh once you order, so it takes about 15 minutes according to the menu. The stew arrived first, so by the time I finished that, the juicy pork belly platter was already ready. ![Grilled pork belly platter with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-08-1dl1h-966.webp) Even eaten plain with no sauce, this aged pork belly is clean and savory. ![Close-up of golden-brown grilled aged pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-09-6xd84-966.webp) ![Pork belly on the grill with enoki mushrooms and grilled kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-10-7nv35-966.webp) ![Pork belly served with bean sprout scallion salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-11-s54on-966.webp) ![A piece of pork belly picked up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-12-85ta8-966.webp) Personally, the bean sprout scallion salad was delicious. There's no self-service bar; if you need more side dishes, just order more through the tablet and staff bring them quickly. Lettuce wraps aren't included by default, but you can add them if you want. ![Table with side dishes and ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-13-5vxx6-966.webp) ![Pork belly dipped in myeoljeot sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-14-1i0l7-966.webp) This myeoljeot is something else. Not too salty, so I kept dipping into it. Salty, savory myeoljeot with pork belly — no need to say more, it's the best. And you know fragrant minari pairs perfectly with pork belly, right? I personally love minari a lot. Whoever first thought of eating it with minari deserves an award... thank you. ![A piece of pork belly served with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-15-12r77-966.webp) ![Three basic sauces, salt, roasted bean powder, and special ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-16-os7n3-966.webp) ![Pork belly dipped in roasted bean powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-17-9002n-966.webp) ![Chewy pork belly dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-18-18mll-966.webp) The basic sides include 3 sauces, salt, roasted bean powder, and a special ssamjang. It's delicious dipped in the savory bean powder, and just as good dipped in salt. The chewy pork belly paired with salt was also really nice. It's also great piled onto lettuce wraps with plenty of ssamjang. ## Korean-pork kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) ![Korean-pork kimchi jjigae loaded with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-19-fld4n-966.webp) I debated between the two side stews — beef brisket doenjang jjigae and Korean-pork kimchi jjigae — and went with the kimchi one. It's packed with tender, well-cooked meat. The well-fermented kimchi pairs perfectly with the stew — chef's kiss. The broth is spicy and refreshing, the kind that could cure a hangover. It's the kind of stew that demands a bowl of rice. Since I planned to order fried rice after finishing the main dish, I didn't add rice — it was still good without, but I think next time I'd order the stew together with the fried rice order. (Honestly I ate the meat so fast that even after the fried rice arrived, the stew was still warm when I got to it, haha.) ## Meat-fat fried rice and pudding-soft steamed egg Last up were the fried rice platter and steamed egg I'd ordered. Topped with a single soft-fried egg, it looked so pretty I had to take a photo! ![Fried rice platter topped with a soft-fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-20-1ieja-966.webp) It was evenly seasoned, and being fried in the meat's fat gave it a savory richness — an absolutely can't-miss dish. I can't pass on fried rice. Be sure to order it after finishing the meat — this one's a must! ![A spoonful of fried rice cooked in meat fat](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-21-hgtvm-966.webp) And one more dish I really liked — the pudding! I mean, the steamed egg, haha. It looks just like pudding, and it's genuinely so soft it practically melts in your mouth. If my stomach had allowed it, I would've ordered a second one — it was that soft and delicious. ![Pudding-soft steamed egg dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-22-ljrye-966.webp) ## Soft-serve dessert and the meaning behind the name Imdaejang Anyone who always makes room for dessert? At Imdaejang Daejeon Dunsan Branch, a Galleria-area Daejeon favorite, you get one cup of soft-serve ice cream per person for dessert. It had a slightly sherbet-like texture — a soft, sweet, milky ice cream with a bit of crunch. 'Imdaejang' is a compound of the characters for 'entrust,' 'in place of,' and 'excellence,' meaning roughly 'handled excellently on your behalf.' Everything is prepared from start to finish, so all we have to do is enjoy it. Just sit down, order through the tablet, and they'll prepare everything from side dishes to the main dish with care. You'll find Imdaejang Dunsan Branch by turning into the alley past the GS25 next to Hollys, on the left. They offer a 2-hour free parking voucher for the building's underground lot, so if you're driving, take advantage of it! Private rooms and group bookings can be arranged with advance inquiry. ![Table at Imdaejang Daejeon Dunsan Branch after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-23-wcjue-966.webp) ![View of the Imdaejang Daejeon Dunsan Branch sign from the alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard/imdaejang-daejeon-dunsan-samgyeop-eggcustard-24-1nqv0-966.webp) If you're looking for a Dunsan-dong favorite, a Dunsan-dong grill house, and you'd rather skip the hassle of grilling it yourself or hate the smell clinging to your clothes and hair, I recommend Imdaejang Daejeon Dunsan Branch, where full grilling service is standard. It's a Galleria-area Daejeon favorite conveniently located near Galleria Department Store, with no regular closing day and open even during Chuseok holidays — perfect for family gatherings or work dinners.
