About the Cuisine

Korean

Korean cuisine (hansik) is built around balance — fermented sides (banchan), a steaming bowl of rice, and a main dish that changes with the season. Meals are served all at once rather than in courses, and sharing dishes at the table is the norm. The depth of flavor comes from slow-fermented pastes like doenjang (soybean) and gochujang (chili), which form the backbone of soups, stews, and marinades across the country.

This is a restaurant near Gayang Station specializing in pork cheek meat, where a 150g serving costs 10,000 won. True to the restaurant's name, "Donppol," "cheek meat" is the signature dish. If you prefer lean, flavorful meat free of gamey odors, I highly recommend this place. You can dip the meat in a special soy sauce and grill it over charcoal. There is also a dedicated soy sauce available, which adds a sweet and savory umami flavor to the meat. When I mentioned it was my first time there, the owner kindly explained how to eat the meat. The assorted grill set, consisting of four items—Donppol, Deolbi (pork neck), Bomb Grill, and Donsae Grill—is 29,000 won. Doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) is served free of charge. It is a local favorite frequented mainly by regulars, and it has a genuine old-school vibe. I recommend it as a second stop rather than a first, and they offer medicinal liquor served in bamboo tubes for 6,000 won. If you love pork cheek meat, this is a restaurant worth seeking out.
