The writer ordered two servings of ogeopsal (thick-cut pork belly) at 180g for 16,800 won each plus one serving of mokssal (pork neck) at 180g for 16,800 won, 540g in total, all grilled at the table by staff, and found the closely scored belly chewy rather than tough and the bean sprout soup deeply savory. The scored aged pork belly and the side dish spread make Donbegi Gwang-an Branch a Gwangalli meat restaurant worth returning to. ## Good to know - **Location**: 34 Minrakbondong-ro 11beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, 1st and 2nd floor (near Minrak Waterside Park) - **Ogeopsal (pork belly)**: 180g for 16,800 won - **Mokssal (pork neck)**: 180g for 16,800 won - **Minimum order**: Ordered in 180g units, from 360g minimum - **Ordered on this visit**: 2 servings of ogeopsal + 1 serving of mokssal, 540g total - **Aging**: Pork aged 480 hours, as the restaurant explains - **Sauces**: Three kinds: shiitake mushroom sauce, wasabi, salt - **Seating**: Private rooms available, large tables with large grills - **Other**: Tablet ordering, self-serve bar (ssam vegetables, peppers, garlic), staff grill the meat for you - **Price reference**: ₩16,800 ≈ $12 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* Today I'm introducing Donbegi Gwang-an Branch, where I had some really delicious meat in Gwangalli. True to its name, it's a restaurant that sells pork, and from the outside to the interior it really has that classic Korean BBQ restaurant feel — the meat quality was so good too! Just so you know, this is a place where the staff grill the meat for you. ![Exterior of Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-01-2k9hl-966.webp) ![Entrance of Donbegi Gwang-an Branch, a Gwangalli BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-02-1lrnu-966.webp) ![Full view of the Donbegi Gwang-an Branch building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-03-cda34-966.webp) ## Where is Donbegi Gwang-an Branch, and what is it like inside? Donbegi Gwang-an Branch is near Minrak Waterside Park, so it's a good spot for travelers to visit too, and they have private rooms~ If you're looking for a Gwangalli samgyeopsal spot for a work dinner, this staff-grilled system seems like it would be pretty convenient. ![Surroundings of Donbegi Gwang-an Branch near Minrak Waterside Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-04-anxic-966.webp) For reference, I had a group dinner here back in 2022, so it had been a long time since my last visit, but it was so good that I came back again. ![Interior seating at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-05-12w7s-966.webp) The tables themselves and the grills being large is a real plus. The interior is clean but still has that warm, cozy Korean BBQ restaurant feel, so it's a great place to visit on a good day. ![Spacious BBQ table with a large grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-06-1vemq-966.webp) ## Donbegi Gwang-an Branch menu: 480-hour aged pork Donbegi Gwang-an Branch ages its own pork before selling it, and apparently they use pork aged for a whopping 480 hours. Because it's aged, I heard you get a texture that's different from regular pork — softer and more savory. The menu includes ogeopsal (pork belly) and mokssal (pork neck), plus cuts you don't usually get to eat like shoulder rack and French rack, and they also had good-value set menus. ![Aged pork menu board at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-07-rohnz-966.webp) ![Menu listing ogeopsal, mokssal, shoulder rack, and French rack](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-08-w7d3b-966.webp) ## Side dishes and the bean sprout soup at Donbegi Side dishes set on the hexagonal grill: radish salad, pickled chili, gungchae (stem lettuce), seaweed, sesame oil pollack roe, baek-kimchi (white kimchi), and scallion salad. The pollack roe was the best, but the scallion salad was insane too... ![Basic side dishes set on the hexagonal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-09-dqigl-966.webp) I don't usually touch bean sprout soup, but my boyfriend, who came with me, ate it and praised it so much that I tried it — and wow, what stock did they use for that savoriness? I was genuinely amazed by this bean sprout soup. ![Bean sprout soup at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-10-99dqa-966.webp) ## How to order and what it costs: ogeopsal and mokssal, 180g for 16,800 won We ordered on a tablet, and unusually, the meat wasn't priced by 100g but started at 180g units. Donbegi's minimum order was 360g. We ordered ogeopsal 180g at ₩16,800 for 2 servings and mokssal 180g at ₩16,800 for 1 serving. I'd like to try the super rare French rack and shoulder rack next time! ![Tablet ordering screen showing meat menu in 180g units](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-11-2utox-966.webp) ### What is on the self-serve ssam bar? The self-serve bar was tucked off to the side right nearby. ![Self-serve bar at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-12-16dim-966.webp) There were ssam vegetables, peppers, and garlic that weren't part of the basic side dishes, so I grabbed some right away. Looks like you have to ask specifically for scallion salad and pollack roe if you want more. ![Ssam vegetables, peppers, and garlic from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-13-am2k5-966.webp) The fire got going, and I always pay close attention to charcoal, and Donbegi's charcoal was really good stuff. The three sauces were shiitake mushroom sauce, wasabi, and salt. ![Three sauces: shiitake mushroom sauce, wasabi, and salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-14-iu2iz-966.webp) ![Lit charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-15-kzx48-966.webp) ## Scored, snowflake-marbled aged ogeopsal grilled by staff Ogeopsal 180g at ₩16,800 for 2 servings, mokssal 180g at ₩16,800 for 1 serving. We ordered two servings of ogeopsal plus one of mokssal, so we ended up eating 540g total haha. ![Tightly scored snowflake aged pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-16-e3t8p-966.webp) The first thing I noticed about the ogeopsal was the tight scoring all over the surface of the meat. The scoring was so dense that it seemed like it would grill up beautifully, and when I actually ate it, the texture was really good. One of the things I loved about Donbegi is that the staff grill the meat for you! They grilled the snowflake aged ogeopsal first~ If you're not confident grilling meat yourself, or if you want to chat leisurely while you eat, go to Donbegi right now. The skin on the ogeopsal had such a strong personality that I almost lost it, in a good way ㅠㅠ And the tightly scored surface got grilled so well that even before I ate it, I could already picture the texture. But it turned out even more delicious than I expected. ![Scored pork belly cooking on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-17-22lfu-966.webp) ![Golden-brown pork belly and vegetables grilled by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-18-6ts8t-1200.webp) The meat cooking up nicely. Since the staff grill the meat, all we had to do was sit comfortably and eat. Whenever I go to a BBQ restaurant, the vegetables usually go on late and I miss the timing and can't eat them properly, but here the timing was great, so we ate the meat and vegetables together in one bite!! How's the visual on that ogeopsal ㅠㅠ Those scored pieces of meat browning up look so delicious.. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜ Before I knew it, chatting away, the ogeopsal was perfectly grilled. The first bite went straight into the salt. Wow, it was seriously delicious.. Ogeopsal's signature chewy texture, thanks to the scoring, chewed softly without any toughness, which I've never felt before. The chewy skin was the highlight, and the scoring was also a total highlight.. what a crazy situation. We combined it in so many different ways. There were so many side dishes and they were all delicious, but number one was the sesame oil pollack roe ㅠㅠ And the meat itself was so savory that it was great with ssam or side dishes, but it was also plenty delicious just eaten on its own. ![A piece of pork belly with ssam and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-19-13dwt-966.webp) ## How was the mokssal (pork neck)? They grilled the mokssal right after. The mokssal's color also looked really fresh for aged meat. We think flow matters, so we just asked them to grill it right away, but if you want to eat slowly while chatting, you can ask them to grill it a bit later. ![Aged pork neck on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-20-jvpuf-966.webp) The mokssal looked even more delicious once it was grilled.. moist and tender, fully cooked mokssal! Mokssal shouldn't be cooked too long. The staff grilled it at just the right timing. I don't know why, but I love it so much when mokssal is grilled into these round shapes ㅠ Why doesn't it come out like that when I grill it at home? ![Round, moist grilled pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-21-1lfcv-966.webp) We threw in the garlic from the self-serve bar too. The garlic and mokssal combo is so good. A well-laid-out spread, and the table is really spacious. ![A spacious table set with meat and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-22-12ze5-966.webp) ![Pork neck with vegetables and shiitake mushroom sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-23-1014a-966.webp) We ate the mokssal with various vegetables and shiitake mushroom sauce too. Donbegi's side dishes have no misses — the kind of flavor that keeps you reaching for them on their own, and there were so many varieties that it made me so happy! The mokssal wasn't dry either, it was on the moist side, so it was enjoyable in a different way from the ogeopsal. ## Ogeopsal or mokssal: which should you order at Donbegi? If I had to choose between mokssal and the snowflake ogeopsal, my preference is definitely ogeopsal, but rather than picking just one, I'd recommend ordering both like I did and alternating between them. Above all, I was genuinely shocked by how good the ogeopsal was that day — the texture itself was so good that ordering ogeopsal is a must. The review event items were so good too, so even if it's a hassle, I'd recommend giving it a try. I sometimes do it and sometimes don't, but at Donbegi, I probably would~ ![Review event information at Donbegi Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi-24-hxrxi-966.webp) Donbegi Gwang-an Branch mainly serves aged pork, letting you try a variety of cuts like ogeopsal and mokssal, and since the staff grill it for you, we could eat comfortably. If you're looking for a Gwangalli meat restaurant to visit comfortably when you're craving aged pork or ogeopsal, Donbegi Gwang-an Branch is the place. ## Where it is - Donbegi Gwang-an Branch (돈베기 광안점) - 34 Minrakbondong-ro 11beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea, 1st & 2nd floor - 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/@tongyeong-dusk-net/gwangalli-scored-pork-belly-donbegi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
