담바골 Dambagol wine-aged pork belly on a cast-iron cauldron lid, and a ten-thousand-won set lunch

Korean · Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 1-ga

Updated 2026-09-24 · Published 2026-09-26

A wine-aged pork belly house grilling on a cast-iron cauldron lid, on the ground floor of an old apartment arcade two to five minutes from Ttukseom station. The lid comes first: greased and already hot, loaded with aged kimchi, bean sprouts, tofu, onion and mushroom, the kimchi placed where the fat will run. Four writers call that kimchi the real reason to come, and three separately single out the dried seaweed you wrap the pork in. Order meat and a soybean stew follows — a stew the posts keep boasting about. 180g is ₩17,000 as of 2025, and four writers reach for the phrase "old-fashioned belly" — meaning not the thick-cut or frozen pork now in fashion. At noon it is a rice house: ₩10,000 for a whole grilled fish and that day's sides, and one regular eats it twice a week and calls it "my number one — mum's house." In the evening it belongs to company dinners — eight writers came in a group, and one party of forty took the whole place.

The basics

5 posts say it is walkable from the station.

When it opens

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

• 와인생삼겹살 (180g)14 ate it
  wine-aged pork belly₩14,000 · ₩16,000 · ₩17,000

  **White-wine-aged pork belly, grilled on a cast-iron cauldron lid. Fourteen ordered it.** 180g ran ₩14,000 in 2021, ₩16,000 in 2023, ₩17,000 in 2025. **Five call it thick and four reach for the same phrase — "old-fashioned belly"**, set against the thick-cut or frozen belly now in fashion; one remembers wine-aged pork being a trend in her childhood and finds it here. **Two praise the ratio of meat to fat**, one noting how much belly elsewhere is mostly fat.

  **Only two writers actually smell the wine** — one finding it clean and free of any off-note, the other hedging with a laugh. The talk is about the absence of pork smell rather than the presence of wine, and nobody claims to taste it. **One writer calls the price high** — ₩14,000 for 180g in 2021, though she thought the quality earned it. Two others call it good value.

• 된장찌개·계란찜·볶음밥·냉면13 ate it
  the stew, the steamed egg, the fried rice and the noodles₩2,000 · ₩5,000 · ₩8,000

  **Order meat and a soybean stew follows — and that stew keeps being named as the reason to come.** One team's self-declared stew expert endorsed it; another writer envies the office workers who can eat it at lunch; a third was startled by the size of a free dish. **One pot per two people**, according to one account. **The fried rice is ₩2,000** and six ordered it, one insisting you cannot claim to have eaten pork belly without it. **The steamed egg went from ₩3,000 in 2021 to ₩5,000 in 2023**, and one writer calls it a bomb. **The naengmyeon is ₩8,000**, and one writer could not decide which kind it was supposed to be.

  **There is onion in the fried rice**, which one writer minds. **Two writers talk about the drink**: one found the soju iced over on arrival; another says the fridge is cold enough that, per the owner, a shake before opening turns it to slush. Soju ₩5,000, rice ₩1,000.

• 솥뚜껑 위의 것들 — 묵은지·콩나물·두부·양파·새송이, 그리고 구이김13 ate it
  what cooks on the lid with the meat

  **The lid arrives before the meat**: cast iron, greased and already hot, with **aged kimchi, bean sprouts, tofu, onion and king oyster mushroom** on it, the kimchi sitting where the fat runs down. Thirteen writers describe the same arrangement. **Four say the kimchi is the real star** — one calls the place a kimchi restaurant and notes they refill it generously; another tells you to eat the lightly grilled kimchi with the pork and die happy. **And there is dried seaweed**: three writers separately single it out, one calling it the unusual thing about the place, another naming it alongside the spring-onion salad and the wasabi-dressed onion as the house's three points.

  **One writer found it slow to cook, the flame being only in the middle**; another found the heat strong and the meat quick — probably a matter of where on the lid you put it. **The vegetables can be topped up.** The table comes set with leaves, garlic, ssamjang, pickled radish, spring-onion salad and a wasabi-dressed onion relish, and three writers praise the last two by name.

• 숙성 목살·가브리살·항정살6 ate it
  aged shoulder, gabrisal and pork jowl₩16,000 · ₩17,000 · ₩18,000

  **Shoulder and gabrisal cost the same as the belly; only the jowl is a thousand won more** — ₩16,000/₩17,000 in 2023, ₩17,000/₩18,000 in 2025. **Three writers rave about the jowl**, one calling it the thickest she has seen. **The gabrisal divides**: the writer who tried it as a third round found it simply ordinary and recommends the belly and the jowl instead.

  **Four writers order shoulder alongside the belly**, mixing rounds at company dinners. A 2021 post lists **only two cuts, belly and shoulder** — the gabrisal and the jowl came later.

• 점심 백반 (10,000원) — 생선구이와 그날의 반찬4 ate it
  the ₩10,000 set lunch₩9,000 · ₩10,000

  **A meat house in the evening and a rice house at noon.** ₩10,000 a head buys **a whole grilled fish, two or three main sides, a soup or stew, and banchan.** **The fish changes daily** — mackerel, saury, hairtail — **and so do the sides, so people read the board outside before going in**; one writer calls it part of the pleasure, another says it is served like a chef's choice. Recorded spreads: stir-fried pork and fishcake with soybean stew; a bean-sprout-and-seafood stew with grilled fish, meat patties, kimchi, black beans and dressed cucumber. **The grilled fish alone is ₩9,000.**

  **Ten thousand won is the point of it, given Seongsu prices** — one writer notes that stir-fried pork alone costs more than that nearby. **Two value having the fish grilled for them**, being unable to do it at home for the smell. **One regular eats the set twice a week and calls the place "my number one — mum's house"**: grilled fish, soybean stew and stir-fried pork on Tuesdays; grilled fish, soft-tofu stew and stir-fried pork on Thursdays.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Naver Map has a full English mode — Settings → Language → English. In Korea it gives better walking and transit directions than Google Maps.

Getting inside

Nobody writes about wheelchair or pushchair access. None of the sixteen mentions a ramp or a step. It is on the ground floor of an old arcade apartment — one writer notes the weathered exterior, another calls it one of those small places tucked into a lane — so it is not a new building, but whether there is a step at the door, we do not know. Inside there are wooden tables and metal-drum stools with a burner at each table, and the tables are pushed together for groups. Call 0507-1373-8016.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 20 posts we gathered, 4 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• Four of the twenty posts we read were excluded from the count, and they were the four that say the most about this restaurant. Three were produced with promotional support from the Ttukseom shopping-street merchants' association (two label themselves advertising). They recycle the same phrases — over ten years in business, wine ageing that removes any off-smell, bursting juices — and one of them ends by promising a review "once I've actually eaten the pork", which settles it. The fourth reproduces Naver's ratings and reviews at length and admits in passing that no opening hours or closing day could be found. So nothing below says "over ten years" or "the ageing removes the smell" — only what people who went wrote. The opening hours rest on one person. Of the sixteen who went, one gives them: Monday to Saturday, 11:00–22:00, closed Sunday — "the hours the owner told me, which aren't even on Naver." The three promotional posts say daily, 11:00–22:00, with a break from 15:00 to 17:00. The customer who asked the owner is probably right, but one account is not enough for the table. The afternoon break appears only in the promotional posts: four writers ate the set lunch and twelve ate pork in the evening, and none of them mentions the place closing in between. Phone first (0507-1373-8016 / 02-461-8007). Prices rose across five years: 180g from ₩14,000 in 2021 to ₩16,000 in 2023 to ₩17,000 in 2025; the steamed egg from ₩3,000 to ₩5,000. The range of cuts grew too — belly and shoulder only in 2021, with the gabrisal and jowl added later. Read the prices below with their dates. There is nowhere to park. Two posts say so, both in the information block at the top, and nobody describes parking. Five writers put it two to five minutes' walk from the station. Nobody reports queueing, but the room fills. Several describe a full house — one says it is packed every single evening — yet none of them waited. Two found weekday lunchtimes quiet. For an evening group, phone ahead. One small thing: there is onion in the fried rice. And one writer notes that the building has a single toilet — the arcade's, not the restaurant's.
• The toilet appears to belong to the building rather than the restaurant. One writer, a regular of the arcade, mentions that the building has only one toilet and that she passes the restaurant on her way to it. She is the only person who mentions toilets at all, and nobody states outright whether it is inside or outside the restaurant. No one describes its condition, or whether it is shared between sexes.
• Not one writer reports queueing — and yet several describe a full house. One says the place is packed every single evening and was full the night she went; another watched tables fill through her meal; a third describes a lane that comes alive after dark. All three walked in and sat down. Weekday lunchtimes, by contrast, are quiet — one writer found the room half empty at midday, and none of the set-lunch posts mentions waiting. What we know amounts to this: the room fills in the evening but a line outside does not seem to form, and a group should phone ahead — three writers confirm they take group bookings. One writer had come only because the belly house she had planned on had too long a queue; here, she sat down at once.
• Nobody writes about floors or stairs. The address covers units 108 and 109 on the ground floor of the arcade — two units, though no post mentions it. What is recorded of the room: tables only, pushed together to seat thirty or forty; wooden tables and metal-drum stools with soju posters and a television on the wall; a weathered exterior. Whether there is an upstairs, or any private room, nobody says.
