Jeju dot specializes in Jeju black pig Korean BBQ. We drove to the place from our hotel and it was a good 40 minutes ride. When we reached the end of our navigation, the place looked like a private residential area except there were plenty of cars parked in its compound.

The place was full when we reached at 6.43pm. Informed the staff that we would like to dine there without reservation and she indicated that we could leave our name and contact in the waiting list. Oh boy, but I do not have any local phone number though, so ended up just indicating the surname and number of pax. Hehe.
Went back outside to admire the sunset and watched other people's kids playing at the huge compound while we wait for the staff to call us.

And 10 minutes later, we got a table.

Oooh, the menu is all in hangul and so, it was time for Google Translate. The manager came to our table and asked us in Korean, for our order. I asked for his recommendation and then, he took out his mobile phone and typed something on it and showed it to us. Ahh, he is using Papago to say that he recommends the pork neck and pork belly. Each order is minimally 200gm and so for the 4 of us, to start with those. We agreed.
He also said that the meat will be pre-cooked before served to our table.

Ahhh, so the grill on our table was just to brown the meat slightly and then we could enjoy it. The manager just tossed the cut-up meat a little bit on the table grill and then informed us to start eating. And so we did!
The pork neck looked like little chunk of firm fat but it's not fatty. The texture was firm and tasted good.

The meat was gone in no time and the next cut was served. Ok, the pork belly was certainly more greasy and the meat still has that skin layer on it. This version is chewy.

Yes, we made somaek and enjoyed it with the meats. Hmm, we finished up both the pork neck and pork belly and might just as well order the last cut of the 3 available. Added 200gm of pork ribs to our order.

The sauce on the grill was intriguing and very flavourful, so I asked the manager what it was. He said it is anchovies sauce. It was that good and I found myself using this dip more than the other sauces.

We finished the dinner rather quickly in just one hour. Overall, my favourite cut is the pork neck for its unique texture. It is ok if you do not speak Korean as the manager at this place is adept at using translation app to communicate with customers.
Staff were courteous and I felt welcomed. We spent ₩134,000 for dinner.
