Ilsan braised pork rib restaurant with a mild set for two: Jimidang

In short

Jimidang Ilsan Main Branch is a spicy braised pork rib (deungalbi-jjim) restaurant that has stood in a residential neighborhood on Baekseok-ro 108beon-gil in Ilsandong-gu, Goyang, Gyeonggi for eight years. The gamchiltagyeok (spicy) rib set for two, 43,000 won, was ordered at the mild level and came with gondre rice and Bongpyeong buckwheat pancake, and the staff brought a cushion the moment they saw the pregnant guest, on top of free bean sprout refills. The heat at Jimidang tastes clean rather than artificial, making it an Ilsan braised rib spot worth a return visit.

Inside Jimidang Ilsan Main Branch: seating and the cushion for pregnant guests

Inside Jimidang Ilsan Main Branch there are 7 tables total, and the standard is 4 people! The tables are pretty big, which I like!

Kind of surprising — 8 years in business and it's still this clean?? The signage on the wall even had a bit of the owner's philosophy written into it, and it really shows in details like this.

Trust level up another notch when I saw the ingredient info for each item! No wonder... honestly when you eat it, the spice is clean, and now I know why!

Jimidang menu and the price of the rib set for two

Jimidang's basic menu is spicy braised pork ribs, composed as a set meal: spicy braised pork ribs + gondre rice + Bongpyeong buckwheat pancake! You can order sets sized to your party, which is great~ On top of that, an extra buckwheat pancake is only ₩3,000, which is really nice!

You can adjust the spice level, and the gondre rice pairs so well with the braised rib sauce that I really recommend ordering the set!

You can add extra noodles when ordering, and if you do the Naver review event the add-on gets discounted! Plus bean sprouts get refilled, which is genuinely great!

  • Zero Coke ₩2,000
  • Total ₩45,000!

The buckwheat pancake comes out first and the size is honestly huge! For ₩3,000, that's insane!

The spicy braised ribs arrived alongside it!! The great thing is it comes fully cooked already, so you can just dig in right away!

How do Jimidang's braised pork ribs taste at the mild level?

Close-up of the generous portion of spicy braised pork ribs

Totally amazing, right?? The portion is huge, and you can really feel the spice, but it's not artificial-tasting at all, just clean! Eating the bean sprouts and glass noodles together with the buckwheat pancake or gondre rice is genuinely delicious!

The braised ribs especially are incredible — the meat falls off so easily! Can you see it? Hold it with tongs, push with chopsticks, and it just slides right off, so good!

?????? When I first walked in there was only one table seated, but by the time I was eating, the place had suddenly filled up completely;; there was even an 8-person group waiting....
