About

Cozy retro barbecue spot near Cheonho Station famous for chewy Jeju black pork belly and sweet, crunchy cartilaginous odol-galbi.

Tucked along Cheonho-daero’s backstreets just a five-minute stroll from Cheonho Station, Odukkeop Bonjeom channels an intimate, retro *nopo* tavern charm. With walls marked by years of casual scribbles and a floor plan holding just about seven tables, the room fills up almost immediately past opening time. By early evening, hopeful diners crowd the clipboard on the entryway wall, eager for thick-cut pork and late-night drinks. The main draw here splits between two distinct pork cuts: rich, chewy *ogyeopsal* (five-layer pork belly) and the specialty *odol-galbi*. The kitchen serves skin-on pork belly cut thick, seasoned cleanly, and grilled on the hot plate—often tended by the staff until crisped on the edges and rendered tender beneath. Dip a piece into the sweet soy sauce laced with chili, or roll it into lettuce with pickled perilla leaves (*myeong-i namul*) and tangy, freshly dressed scallions (*pajeori*). Punctuating the fatty cuts, every table receives a complimentary communal stew—either a tart, deeply fermented kimchi-jjigae packed with tofu or a savory doenjang-jjigae. For the full Odukkeop experience, order the signature *odol-galbi*. Unlike standard ribs, this cut incorporates finely scored cartilage into tender, sweet-soy marinated rib meat. When seared over high heat, the edges caramelize while the minced cartilage delivers an addictive, rhythmic crunch in every bite. It sits somewhere between traditional barbecue and a seasoned drinking snack, offering a textural contrast that keeps tables lingering over drinks well past midnight. Because of the small footprint, groups larger than four or five might struggle for space, and leisurely pacing over grilled meat means wait times can stretch. Arriving close to the 4:00 PM opening avoids the pen-and-paper waitlist, putting you right in line for thick pork skin, crisp cartilage, and a bubbling pot of sour kimchi stew.
