Parking, the building, and the Yangju livestock co-op meat shop next door

Manpo Garden Yangju is a big meat restaurant that's hard to miss on the road heading from Okjeong toward Go-eup, down toward Uijeongbu and Seoul. The place is huge, and there's plenty of parking space out front and back, so it was easy to visit by car.

Since the building is big it's easy to find, and the parking is suuuper wide, so I highly recommend it as a group dinner spot in Yangju. I've actually been here three times already for work dinners haha. Today was my fourth visit, a place I keep coming back to 💗

Next to Manpo Garden, the Yangju galbi restaurant, there's also a Yangju livestock cooperative meat market.

After finishing their galbi, everyone seemed to buy raw meat to take home. If you're looking for fresh, affordable meat, give this place a try.

Inside Manpo Garden: private rooms and the self-service bar

The restaurant is spacious with plenty of gap between tables, and one distinctive thing is that each table is huge!! That's probably because the basic side dishes come out in a spread that could break the table legs haha.

Even though it's a meat restaurant, it didn't feel cramped at all — overall it felt clean and open, which made for a comfortable meal.

There was also a self-service bar, so you could grab any extra side dishes yourself. And the best part was the ventilation — not a single bit of pork galbi smell stuck to my clothes. That's the thing I care about most! Nothing worse than eating a delicious meal and walking out smelling like meat ㅠ

This is the reserved seating area~ Reservations/groups welcome!!

And here's a private room that anyone looking for a room-style restaurant in Yangju — for a 60th birthday party, or to take parents to — would love. I was surprised by how upscale the interior was!!! Such a classy feel for bringing your parents 😊

There's a self-service bar prepared, so you need to grab your own ssam vegetables (lettuce wraps)!! They aren't included on the basic table.

• Self-service bar: ssamjang (dipping sauce), whole garlic, cheongyang chili peppers, seasoned lettuce, onion, iceberg lettuce salad, black sesame dressing

What we ordered: two portions of handmade pork galbi, gabrisal and pudding steamed egg

• 🥩 2 servings of hanmade pork galbi / 1 serving of gabrisal
• 🥚 Pudding steamed egg
• 🍜 1 water naengmyeon / 1 spicy bibim naengmyeon

That's what we ordered. First, let me show you the basic side dish spread in detail, since it comes out packed haha. Imagine a place where yukjeon and yukhoe come as standard sides 👍

Yukhoe and yukjeon come free with the side dishes

This is how the basic table was set. You need to grab ssam vegetables yourself at the self-service bar! The basic spread includes seasoned lettuce, yukhoe, yukjeon, iceberg lettuce salad, and sliced onion.

Side dishes included white kimchi, dried radish salad, gochujang-seasoned peppers, doraji/deodeok (bellflower root) salad, garlic scape/gungchae/onion pickles, and potato/corn salad.

The salad and the yukjeon!! The salad was so fresh and crisp. Felt like it was just picked from a garden haha.

Ahh, Chuseok is coming up soon — please teach me how to make yukjeon this pretty!!! Such a bright yellow, gorgeous yukjeon!

Pretty, right~~ It tasted great too. It's actually hard to make yukjeon taste bad haha. And to think this is a free basic side dish ㅜㅜ Manpo Garden is the best,,🫶🏻

The yukhoe portion was pretty generous too, which made the place feel like great value for a galbi restaurant. It's a lot!!! Fresh and tasty. The raw beef comes unseasoned.

This basic potato salad was tasty too.

Now the meat and steamed egg we ordered arrived.

The pudding steamed egg caught my eye right away!! It's not the fluffy kind — it's moist, chewy, and dense. Really bouncy haha.

Grilling 500g of handmade pork galbi over charcoal

Now let's try today's main dish, the hanmade pork galbi, grilled. Manpo Garden really is a good galbi restaurant in Yangju. One serving is 250g, so the portion is generous. We ordered 2 servings, 500g!

It's 100% rib meat, marinated in their own house-made sauce. They use hanwoo... wait, pork with a farming co-op traceability record, so somehow it looks even more delicious~!

Grilling it over clean charcoal. Even though it's charcoal, you can adjust the heat, which is nice. The staff also check the fire strength for you~! The heat was just right, so it cooked up delicious 🤤

Once it's grilled to the right point, they move it to the warming plate set to the side~!

Juicy seasoned pork galbi,,,, looks so good, right

If you put this warming plate over the charcoal like this, you can keep eating the meat warm the whole time. A Manpo Garden pro tip! haha

One free house-made Hamhung naengmyeon per person

One more Manpo Garden pro tip~~ if you order meat, the house-made Hamhung-style naengmyeon is free. We ordered 1 water naengmyeon and 1 spicy bibim naengmyeon, and both came free. You have to order this!!

Since the noodles are house-made, you can see how chewy they are. Eating naengmyeon alongside the meat definitely makes the meal feel more filling.

The sauce isn't too intense either, and it goes perfectly with the galbi, so naengmyeon is a must!! Especially since it's free haha.

Rolling it up like this .. the bibim naengmyeon and galbi combo 🤍 I'm more of a bibim naengmyeon person than water naengmyeon! Go ahead and dig in.

Galbi is also delicious eaten with the pudding steamed egg! Somehow.. the combination of the three is amazing. The moist, soft steamed egg, the slightly spicy red-sauced bibim naengmyeon, and the sweet-savory chewy pork galbi 🥹

And~ after finishing the galbi, the palate-cleansing iceberg lettuce salad was so fresh and tasty that I piled it on and ate it all! haha The black sesame salad and lettuce cleaned my palate

Adding a portion of gabrisal, with a fresh grill plate

Now, gabrisal time! We added 1 serving, 200g. It'd be a shame to only eat galbi.

I was a bit surprised when the meat arrived. Isn't it just so pretty?? Who knew raw meat could look this appetizing. The mix of lean meat and fat, the neat slice size — all so appetizing.

The grill plate for gabrisal is different from the galbi one! If you press the call button, staff come and swap the grill plate for you.

Grilled the gabrisal comfortably on the non-stick grill plate haha. Pork belly would probably cook well on it too. We didn't order pork belly, but I plan to try it next time. All the meat here seems delicious.

Once grilled, we dipped it in salt and ate it with lettuce ssam. The clean, straightforward meat flavor really came through.

Loved the owner's thoughtful touch of setting out dental floss candy too

Free dessert at Manpo Garden: iced coffee, puffed rice snacks and ice cream

And Manpo Garden's last pro tip 🤗 iced coffee, ppeongtwigi (puffed rice crackers), and even ice cream are free!!! Manpo Garden, a Yangju Okjeong Go-eup restaurant that takes care of dessert too 🫶🏻

You can even sandwich ice cream between the puffed rice crackers to make a
