The Unique Taste of Jeju Black Pork in Aewol
If I had to choose one delicious dish I enjoyed during my trip to Jeju Island, it would undoubtedly be Jeju black pork. The flavor that melted in my mouth is unforgettable! During my 3-night, 4-day stay, I went out for meat every evening, and Aewol black pork was the winner! I tried it in Seogwipo, Jeju City, and Aewol, and Aewol took the crown! I highly recommend the Dungtangji Aewol branch, which deserves a five-star rating. You won't regret visiting this place; the cross-aged premium black pork will truly satisfy your palate.
While enjoying a scenic drive along the coast, I found myself at Dungtangji. The vibrant, rainbow-colored exterior made a strong first impression! I took a cute photo in front of the store.

We immediately ordered the signature menu items: Aewol black pork and Hallasan bulgogi, and we opted for the black pork. As soon as we placed our order, the table was filled with a variety of side dishes that perfectly complemented the meat. Each side dish was chosen to pair well with the black pork.
The spicy scallion salad, with its sharp green onion aroma and nutty sesame oil scent, was a game-changer in cutting through the richness of the pork. The fermented shrimp and cod roe added a delightful umami kick to each bite! I could enjoy the meat in various ways without getting bored.
The highlight was the marinated crab, served in both soy sauce and spicy seasoning. The owner's generosity was evident! The flavors were perfectly balanced, not overly salty or spicy, and the marinated crab was delicious even on its own or atop the black pork.
The star of the show, Aewol black pork, was served thick and glistening on the plate, igniting my appetite! I quickly asked the staff to grill it, and watching the meat sizzle in front of me was mouthwatering. The intense heat from the charcoal cooked the thick pork quickly, grilling it to perfection.
As I took a piece and bit into it, the juices burst forth, revealing the true taste of Jeju black pork. There was no gamey smell, just deep flavors and an incredibly tender texture. It was a day I truly met the best meat of my life.
After enjoying the pork, I ordered a bowl of doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) to complete the meal. The bubbling stew had a rich aroma and looked stunning. With abalone, shrimp, and crab, the broth was deeply flavored, reminiscent of the sea. One spoonful brought a wave of satisfaction!
If you want to experience the essence of Jeju black pork, don’t hesitate to rush to Dungtangji Aewol branch. The perfectly grilled, aromatic black pork will surely bring you joy!
