Corkage-free Korean BBQ in Yeonsinnae: galbisal and Asahi draft beer

Golmokjip Galbisal, Yeonsinnae Main Branch

Where is Golmokjip Galbisal Yeonsinnae Main Branch, and when is it open?

Is it a 7-minute walk from Yeonsinnae Station? It's close to Exit 6, the GTX side. Go about one more block past the main food street!

(Hours) Open daily, 16:00 to 23:00. No parking, so leave your car at home 😊 But there's something more important than that

Free corkage

You can eat delicious food with delicious alcohol 😍

But wait, do they sell Sapporo draft beer here?? A pretty sign that catches your eye from far away haha

I knew because I made a reservation, but doenjang jjigae and Han River ramyeon are both free 🥰

This is the good thing about booking ahead haha. It was the start of a holiday so it was crowded, but they still had a table ready for us — so nice. Everyone, book through Naver Reservations!

Why the retro interior is half the fun

The inside of Golmokjip Galbisal Yeonsinnae Main Branch is filled with old posters and retro props. Here's why it's a retro gem

Look at the posters stuck on the wall haha. Of course, I'm not quite that old ^^^^;

I wonder if those soldier friends even know what a stationery shop or an electronics repair shop is...ha..

TVs playing old music programs, and

those days when you could buy a house just off interest income

Fin.K.L's debut days haha (I heard the full lineup reunited recently). Old-school vibes fill every corner, so it was fun to look around while waiting for the food. Oh! Back to the main point — it's not just the atmosphere, the food is delicious too!

Grabbing a disposable apron

Let's see. What should I eat to really say I ate well~~

A full plate of galbisal with Asahi draft beer

I was aiming for the signature platter (brisket + galbisal) at Golmokjip Galbisal, but it was sold out, so I ordered the full galbisal plate instead. We started with a glass of Asahi draft each.

I wanted the signature platter (brisket + galbisal) but it was sold out, ugh. So we ordered a full plate of galbisal instead!!

A Del Monte water bottle hahahaha, where did they even find that

The basic side dishes are full of things to cut through the richness

Not Sapporo draft, but let's start with a glass of Asahi draft each. A creamy, happy start..☆

The full plate of galbisal has arrived. The marbling is gorgeous, no filter

(My friend plated it for me lol..) I love that they give you kkwari peppers too. The owner really knows flavor!!

My friend is amazing at grilling meat too. Compliments while grabbing a bite lol. The first piece is always with a bit of salt

They grilled sliced garlic and put it on top, so I took another bite

Apparently mushrooms are supposed to be cut like this lol. Galbisal isn't actually a tender cut, right? It's not like sirloin, but why was it so soft and delicious! I asked, and it's US top-grade prime, hand-trimmed by the owner before serving. They've been at this exact spot for 11 years 👍👍

Turning the free doenjang jjigae into doenjang sulbap

At Golmokjip Galbisal, you always get either Han River ramyeon or doenjang jjigae for free. We could have had both, but since we had a second stop planned, we picked just one — adding only ₩1,000 for rice to finish with doenjang sulbap.

Between the always-free Han River ramyeon and doenjang jjigae, we had to decide (both were possible but we had a second stop, so just one!!) and finished with doenjang sulbap by adding just ₩1,000 for the rice

Great atmosphere, clean, great value, delicious food, and great service — that was my honest review of Golmokjip Galbisal in Yeonsinnae
