Dakgalbi near Gapyeong IC: grilled over charcoal, not stir-fried

Today I'm introducing Dami Seorak Charcoal-grilled Dakgalbi, a Gapyeong IC restaurant that does dakgalbi (spicy grilled chicken) the classic way :) Since we were in Gapyeong, I felt like we had to eat dakgalbi, and this place had such a great reputation that we headed straight there 🚗 I usually think of dakgalbi as stir-fried, and that's what I expected going in, but grilling it over charcoal turned out to be a whole other level of delicious~

Dami Seorak Charcoal-grilled Dakgalbi is a spacious, comfortable dakgalbi restaurant in Gapyeong~ The tables are generous enough for group gatherings, so I'd highly recommend it as a final meal spot for a group trip.

The clean, tidy atmosphere was really satisfying!! Another thing I liked was that the restrooms were separated by gender and kept spotless — 100 out of 100 💯

Half seasoned, half soy sauce dakgalbi with deodeok side dish

The kids picked soy sauce dakgalbi, and since half-and-half was possible, it worked out perfectly haha 😋 I was so looking forward to the combo of seasoned and soy sauce

There were so many banchan (side dishes) — including buchu-muchim (seasoned chives), which I love — and the signature deodeok-muchim (seasoned deodeok root) and pickled radish were both amazing!! At first I thought it was doraji (bellflower root), but I was so surprised to find out it was actually deodeok haha 🥲 Deodeok as a side dish?! I felt like I could finish a whole bowl of rice on the banchan alone lol

Kids' tray and doenjang jjigae at Dami Seorak

They set out a tray, spoon, and fork for the kids 💛 We also ordered the bubbling doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew)!! The kids found it too spicy to eat, but for the adults it was so savory and spicy-good~ The tofu was cut into big chunks and it was packed with ingredients, so my husband nearly finished the whole bowl haha

Charcoal dakgalbi grilled at your table by the staff

The vegetables are all domestic, and even the ingredients used for the sauce blend and to tenderize the chicken are fruits and fresh ingredients, apparently~ With clean seasoning and tender meat, this really is a legit charcoal dakgalbi restaurant!!

The dakgalbi finally arrived!! They use domestic charcoal, so even the aroma was amazing 🤎 It came pre-seared with a deep smoky flavor already soaked in 🥹 The meat was thick too and I couldn't wait to dig in lol

The dakgalbi 🐔 sizzled away on the charcoal — having staff grill it for us was so convenient and nice~ They grilled the rice cakes first and set them aside separately, which the kids loved, and honestly if you have kids you have to order the soy sauce version haha. My daughter gave it two thumbs up and ended up eating two bowls of rice 🤣🤣
