A couple visited on a Friday after work, ordered two servings of Dongnae pork neck, zucchini gochujang stew, and a bokbunja (black raspberry) highball, grabbing the last open table with no wait. Between the melchorim sauce, wasabi, and perfectly grilled meat, it's a solid after-work spot for Korean BBQ. ## Good to know - **Address**: 5 Dangsan-ro 30-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st floor - **Hours**: Daily 15:00-23:00 - **Last order**: 22:30 - **Parking**: Not available - **Ordered**: Dongnae pork neck (2 servings, 180g each), zucchini gochujang stew, bokbunja highball - **Order condition**: Pork neck must be ordered in minimum 2 servings - **Waiting**: Register your number on the Catch Table tablet in front of the restaurant *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ## Why Dongnaejeong's main branch on a Friday after work Hi, this is Hamly. 🥩✨ There's nothing quite like sizzling, juicy grilled meat and a cold drink on a Friday night to blast away a week's worth of fatigue, haha ㅠ0ㅠ Last Friday after work, my husband and I decided to grab a hearty dinner around Yeongdeungpo to close out the week, and while we were figuring out where to go, Dongnaejeong came to mind! Honestly, I used to go to the Dongnaejeong branch near Seolleung Station all the time! I was hooked on the melchorim (fermented anchovy sauce) and the juicy pork neck, basically a regular there. Turns out the 'main branch' — the origin of that super popular BBQ spot — is right near Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station! Having only ever been to the franchise branch, I was so curious what the original main branch's cooking and atmosphere would be like, so I grabbed my husband's hand and headed straight there right after work, haha. We rushed over a bit anxious since it was Friday evening prime time, but by some miracle, we landed the very last open seat with no wait at all. Everyone who walked in right after us had to register their number on the Catch Table tablet out front and join a long line. Thanks to perfect timing, we got to start our meal in a great mood. From the moment we stepped through the door, we could feel exactly why this place has become such a legendary Korean BBQ spot for a Yeongdeungpo night out. ## Location and hours of Dongnaejeong Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Main Branch - 📢 5 Dangsan-ro 30-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st floor - 📆 Hours: Daily 15:00-23:00 - Last order 22:30 - 🚗 No parking available ![Exterior of Dongnaejeong Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-01-1ng62-1200.webp) ## What's the interior and atmosphere like ![Interior of the main branch's dining hall, crowded with guests](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-02-udn7p-900.webp) ![Interior with round stainless steel drum-can tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-03-5f1z5-900.webp) Stepping inside, the delicious smell of meat sizzling over charcoal and the lively chatter of other diners filled the space. ㅎ_ㅎ Round stainless steel drum-can tables complete that cozy, classic BBQ-restaurant vibe, and there are storage compartments under the chairs to keep your coat and bag tucked away, so you don't have to worry about smoke smell getting into your clothes! Normally that smell is such a hassle at BBQ places, ㅠ0ㅠ — I really appreciated the thoughtfulness. ![Seating with a storage compartment under the chair](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-04-1ymye-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-05-xgpdr-m-900.webp) The table setting is super neat too >0< ## Menu and what we ordered at Dongnaejeong's main branch ![Meat menu board at the main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-06-1ypgt-900.webp) ![Menu board listing stews and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-07-1yqcm-900.webp) Dongnaejeong's signature menu is solidly built around gabrisal (jeong gabrisal), pork neck (Dongnae pork neck), and pork belly (migalmaegi, 1+ grade whole belly). The meat quality is so well regarded that you really can't go wrong with any cut! Here's what my husband and I ordered that day. - Dongnae pork neck (2 servings / 180g per serving) - Zucchini gochujang stew - Bokbunja (black raspberry) highball ![Table set with the ordered dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-08-1nqt6-900.webp) I actually love the Jeongseon deodeok (mountain bellflower root) salad, but it was sold out that day — such a shame ㅠ_ㅠ ![Two servings of Dongnae pork neck on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-09-14n2j-900.webp) ## Dongnae pork neck, grilled by the staff for you 1. Dongnae pork neck (minimum 2 servings) 🥩 One of Dongnaejeong's biggest strengths is that skilled staff grill the meat carefully for you from start to finish! Grilling meat yourself at a BBQ place is honestly such a hassle ㅠ0ㅠ, and the flow of conversation always breaks when you have to flip and tend to it. At Dongnaejeong, the staff carefully check the grill's temperature before laying the meat on the strong charcoal fire, quickly searing the surface to seal in the juices. Sitting across from my husband, not lifting a finger, comfortably chatting away while enjoying the meal — it was genuinely satisfying! ![Pork neck searing over the charcoal fire](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-10-1dv99-900.webp) ![Close-up of staff grilling the pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-11-bp4k8-900.webp) Can you see the quality of that meat ㅠ0ㅠ so tempting ![The bokbunja highball we ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-12-rhcyk-900.webp) ## Bokbunja highball and zucchini gochujang stew And then the bokbunja highball we ordered! The alcohol wasn't overpowering, and it had a subtle sweetness that paired amazingly with the rich, juicy pork neck. ㅠ_ㅠ Highly recommend it! Next up, the zucchini gochujang stew! ![A pot of zucchini gochujang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-13-1agm1-900.webp) The gochujang-based broth was rich without being heavy, packed generously with sweet zucchini, tofu, and thick-cut chunks of pork. ## Wasabi, melchorim, and mushrooms — the whole spread The meat was really grilled to perfection...! ![Pork neck grilled to perfection](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-14-1phm7-900.webp) It was grilled so deliciously, I was genuinely moved. ![Pork neck sliced into bite-size pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-15-3b19d-900.webp) ![Pork neck and side dishes on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-16-858g5-900.webp) We started the first bite clean with wasabi. ![A piece of pork neck topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-17-17oos-900.webp) And then the special melchorim! You know this one's famous, right ㅠ0ㅠ A lot of people order a bowl of rice and fry it together with the melchorim, but we were too full to go that far — if you visit, definitely give it a try ㅠ0ㅠ! ![Meat dipped in special melchorim sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-18-348ru-900.webp) And the delicious mushrooms too >< ![Mushrooms grilled on the tabletop grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner-19-i62if-900.webp) ## A Seolleung regular finally visits the main branch We cleaned our plate in no time, haha. Experiencing at the Yeongdeungpo-gu Office main branch the very origin of that unmatched flavor I fell for at the Seolleung branch, I could deeply understand why so many people line up here! The friendly grilling service, the harmony of the melchorim, and a perfect stew and highball to boot — this place has all three elements nailed. If you're looking for a top-tier Korean BBQ spot in Yeongdeungpo to unwind after a tiring day at work, I'd say go without hesitation! ## Where it is - Dongnaejeong Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Main Branch (동래정 영등포구청 본점) - 5 Dangsan-ro 30-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st floor - 서울특별시 영등포구 당산로30길 5 1층 동래정 영등포구청본점 - 37.5256609, 126.8972778 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%EB%9E%98%EC%A0%95%20%EC%98%81%EB%93%B1%ED%8F%AC%EA%B5%AC%EC%B2%AD%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5256609,126.8972778,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@wooden-menu-clip/dongraejeong-yeongdeungpo-guchung-friday-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
