Gongdeok Galbi

Gongdeok Galbi, which builds virtue ('deok') for guests through carefully crafted ('gong') food, has been using only Han-don certified meat for 30 years and is the only Han-don certified restaurant in Gapyeong. It uses Han-don, Korean pork certified by domestic Han-don farms and the Han-don Self-Support Fund Management Committee through strict screening. To the high-quality meat, they add a secret sauce made with good ingredients such as pear, Gapyeong pine nuts, apple, lotus leaf powder, kiwi, and onion, incorporating Gongdeok's own know-how. The sauce, developed through long-term research on ratios, provides a deep flavor. Homemade side dishes are made from ingredients grown in their own garden, including perilla leaves and peppers, all organic vegetables cultivated directly. Additionally, they make the ssamjang (dipping sauce) themselves and prepare the doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) with homemade doenjang for a richer taste. They serve every dish with sincerity, evoking the touch of a mother's hand and home-cooked meals.
