About
50-year-old Gasan pork belly spot known for briquette-grilled wine-aged pork belly served alongside chewy cuttlefish.
Tucked away seven minutes from Gasan Digital Complex Station's Exit 8, Dongsanmi holds court as a fifty-year local anchor. While decades of operation give the compact dining room an unmistakable old-school patina, the space remains tidy and comfortable, drawing after-work crowds across Geumcheon for unhurried dinners and lively company gatherings. Dongsanmi distinguishes itself from typical neighborhood barbecue spots through an idiosyncratic surf-and-turf pairing: the Dongsanmi Special. This signature order centers on domestic female pork belly (Handon am-twaeji) aged in red wine and seared first over briquettes (yeontan). Arriving at the table with an understated smokiness rather than an overpowering char, the pork retains tenderness within while rendering crisp on the tabletop grill. Alongside the pork, the kitchen provides thick cuts of domestic cuttlefish (gap-ojingeo). Sizzling side by side on the broad grill plate alongside aromatic water parsley (minari), slices of tofu, and kimchi that caramelizes in the rendered pork fat, the combination transforms into a multi-layered centerpiece. The interplay between rich pork and clean seafood sets the rhythm of the meal. The cuttlefish is plump and springy, tender enough to avoid rubberiness whether dipped in tart chojang, taken with salt, or layered directly onto a slice of pork belly. The briny chew cuts the natural richness of the aged pork, ensuring the palate never tires. Beyond the cuttlefish pairing, the foundational pork belly stands easily on its own merits, juicy and free of gaminess. Diners routinely conclude with fried rice stirred right on the grill surface to scrape up the remaining fond, making Dongsanmi an enduring Gasan standby that revitalizes classic pork belly through its singular, time-tested approach.
