Golden Donka

Golden Donka, located in Yeon-dong, Jeju City, is about a 10-minute drive from Jeju Airport. It is situated in an alley across from Daelim 1st Apartment in Yeon-dong New Town, and there is a public parking lot (Yeon-dong 1458-1) nearby, making it convenient for those traveling by car. The restaurant operates from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM every day except Sundays. However, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, only meal menus like the Golden Set are available, excluding meat dishes. Golden Donka boasts a spacious interior that can accommodate 30 to 40 people, making it an ideal spot for group gatherings or company dinners. Additionally, there is a playroom for children located to the left of the entrance. The menu includes black pork belly, white pork belly, pork neck, pork jowl, LA galbi, and marinated ribs.

After placing your order, a variety of side dishes prepared by the restaurant are served first. Side dishes such as bean sprouts, bracken, and kimchi, which can be grilled on the pan with the meat, are provided. Other accompaniments like pickled garlic leaves, seasoned pumpkin, seaweed, and green onion salad are also served, all of which are clean and not overly salty. The staff grills and cuts the meat for you, allowing for a comfortable dining experience. With years of expertise, they ensure the meat is perfectly cooked without burning. By 7 PM, the tables are usually fully occupied, as Golden Donka is a popular dining spot in Yeon-dong, Jeju. The high turnover rate ensures excellent meat quality, making it a great place to enjoy authentic black pork. I ordered the LA galbi, which was seasoned with a sweet marinade. The LA galbi was not overly salty and had a mild flavor. The portion size was generous for the price, and my companions were also satisfied.
