Our Visit 

Today, I visited a restaurant called Don Juneun Namja located in Hongdae. Don Juneun Namja is a meat restaurant where you can taste the good quality and delicious Jeju Island meat.

The restaurant is located in the alley may look old on the outside, but his rustic charm is full of flavor, making it even more anticipated. The interior is surprisingly spacious.

Inside, seeing various celebrity signatures, I could tell that it was a certified hot spot.

When you go further inside the store, there is a space perfect for group meals. South Korea's atmosphere is like an indoor tea house!

The menu of the man who pays is written large on the blackboard. As it is a restaurant loved by many foreigners, they kindly provide menus written in Chinese, English, and Japanese.

Parilla, lettuce, kimchi, garlic, and special sauce developed directly by the man who gives money, are served as basic side dishes at SamMu. The grill of a man who gives money was a strange grill shape that could not be seen in other meat restaurants. The editor ordered today's main menu, Jeju Charcoal Fresh Grilled Pork (neck + pork belly 600g), refreshing cold noodles (water/bibim), soybean paste stew, pork kimchi stew, and hangover ramen. 

Jeju Island's meat is especially delicious and famous even among locals!

They will have the meat grilled over charcoal by the staff after placing an order. The secret to delicious grilled pork by a man is to barbecue it through charcoal so that a slight charcoal aroma comes from the surface of the pork!

Jeju Charcoal Fresh Meat (Neck + Pork Belly, 600g)

Chobeol beef brisket and pork belly have arrived! Now we're going to grill the meat in earnest, and the staff will grill all the meat for us, so we can enjoy our meal comfortably.

Check out the color of the thick neck and pork belly! Doesn't it look delicious? And because of the fresh-looking juiciness, I want to eat it as soon as I put it on the grill.

Employees cut the meat nicely for us to eat. Just chat with friends while waiting for it to be properly cooked!

The man who gives money has developed a special sauce that goes well with meat. A clean special sauce that allows you to feel the freshness of the meat, not the sauce made with commonly used meljot.

They place the well-cooked meat next to the grill so it doesn't burn. The reason why the structure of the grill is amazing is that the round part is for grilling meat, and when the meat is properly cooked, it is placed on the side.

Deliciously grilled meat with special sauce to enjoy! Meat was thick and had a good texture and was full of charcoal flavor! Special sauce eaten together is not a strong seasoning taste, but a clean sauce taste that harmoniously mixes sweet and salty flavors, so it goes well with meat. You can add garlic to the sauce to enhance the garlic flavor and make it taste even better.

Pork neck was not stuffy and was soft, with less grease. Personally, the grilled pork belly was very delicious.

A way to eat meat more deliciously, I'll show you how to wrap and eat it! Fresh lettuce topped with your choice of green onions, ssamjang, kimchi, etc. And then dip the meat in special sauce and put it on the lettuce, and top it with garlic dipped in ssamjang. Wrap the lettuce roundly and put a bite of lettuce wrap in your mouth! This way, you can experience a richer taste.

Even if you only eat meat, it's delicious, but did you know that it tastes twice as good when eaten with stews, cold noodles, and ramen? Now, I will eat pork kimchi stew, soybean paste stew, refreshing cold noodles, and hangover ramen with meat!

Cool Naengmyeon (Mul/Bibim)

Ordered a refreshing and delicious cold noodle dish that pairs perfectly with meat. Mul Naengmyeon, Bibim Naengmyeon These two types are available so you can order according to your preference.

In naengmyeon, there are plenty of pickled radish and cucumber, with a slight taste of vinegar and wasabi, making it feel like the greasiness of the meat is completely gone. In bibim naengmyeon, there are radish and cucumber, and according to locals, the seasoning is not very spicy. When you eat naengmyeon and meat together, it tastes really good, so please try it once!

Pork Kimchi Stew Small

Doenjang-jjigae

Rice Refill

Try kimchi stew and soybean paste stew with pork and rice together! When stew is added with a hearty meal, your stomach will be filled securely. In Pork Kimchi Stew, lots of cabbage kimchi goes in, which gives it a deep flavor that keeps you coming back for more. Doenjang jjigae had a savory and clean taste.

Finally, I ate hangover ramen with meat! Bean sprouts were added, making it full of crispness, and the refreshing spiciness of the broth felt like it was piercing through my stomach.

For a taste of delicious Jeju Island meat in Seoul, we highly recommend Don Juneun Namja in Hongdae!
