Gowoondon
고운돈 · Korean BBQ
ABOUT
Gowoondon is a Korean pork restaurant in Ikseon-dong, Jongno, known for combining grilled pork with a traditional courtyard-style setting. The restaurant is arranged around a hanok-inspired outdoor space, giving it a relaxed, rustic character that feels different from a typical modern BBQ dining room. Its location near Jongno 3-ga Station makes it a convenient stop for visitors exploring Ikseon-dong's narrow streets and traditional architecture. The menu centers on pork dishes, including charcoal-grilled pork belly, minari pork belly, scallion-seasoned pork belly, and country-style bossam. The restaurant also offers yukhoe, cold noodles, soybean paste stew, and Korean-style fried rice or noodle dishes. This range makes it possible to order a main BBQ dish and add several traditional Korean sides or finishing dishes for a shared meal. Gowoondon is particularly known for its courtyard and outdoor dining atmosphere. The setting resembles a traditional Korean home or yard, with outdoor tables and indoor seating options. It is suited to casual dinners, group meals, and visitors who want to experience a lively Korean BBQ restaurant in a historic neighborhood. During busy periods, the outdoor seating may be in high demand, so the experience can depend on the table available.
WHAT LOCALS SAY
guests who hope to sit outdoors may be directed to indoor seating when the courtyard is full. Reviews also mention the restaurant's variety of dishes beyond BBQ, including bossam, yukhoe, cold noodles, and the fried-rice or noodle dishes ordered after the meat. Some visitors enjoy the overall atmosphere and food, while others feel the meat quality or flavor does not fully match the price. Waiting can be significant during popular periods, and the outdoor seating experience is not guaranteed. These are individual impressions rather than a uniform customer consensus.

Gowoondon is located at 23-6 Supyo-ro 28-gil, on the first floor, in Ikseon-dong, Jongno-gu. It is within walking distance of Jongno 3-ga Station and the Ikseon-dong hanok streets. The restaurant is tucked into the neighborhood's narrow lanes, so using the Korean name and address in a map app is recommended when navigating. The restaurant is generally listed as open from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM on weekdays and from noon to 10:00 PM on weekends. Some listings show a weekend break from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM and a last order around 9:00 PM. Hours may differ by source or change seasonally, so check the current schedule before visiting. Reservations are available, and booking ahead is recommended for groups or guests who specifically want outdoor seating. A reservation may not guarantee a particular table or courtyard location. There is no confirmed dedicated parking at the restaurant, and parking is reported as unavailable on-site. The surrounding Ikseon-dong streets are narrow and busy, so public transportation or a nearby paid parking facility is more practical. The restaurant has outdoor and indoor seating, but visitors should expect possible waiting during peak dinner periods and be prepared for seating arrangements to depend on availability.
