Uijeongbu Korean BBQ with grilled pineapple after work: Supsok Oki Jip

Where is Supsok Oki Jip Uijeongbu Station Main Branch, and when is it open?

Supsok Oki Jip Uijeongbu Station Main Branch Address: 20 Sinheung-ro 258beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st & 2nd floor Hours: Mon - Sun 16:00 ~ 23:30 Last order 22:30

After work I flew to Uijeongbu on a 20-minute subway ride to meet a friend! Zoom zoom~ I was soooo tired but I'd been so stressed lately that I wanted to blow off some steam by meeting my friend for meat!!!!!!! Meat is king! When your mood's low, meat first.

A beef BBQ restaurant that serves soup as a side dish

I was searching for restaurants not far from Uijeongbu Station, and heard there's a neukgansal (short rib) spot called Supsok Oki Jip right near the station, so I went straight there — and it's kind of unusual! The basic banchan comes with a soup!! Holy! I'm a total soup lover so this was amazing! There were even croutons in the soup so I was extremely satisfied!

Adjustable charcoal grill and a gas burner for the soup

They use gas to fuel a charcoal grill for the meat, so you get the charcoal aroma while still being able to control the heat — so good! Soup is usually served in a bowl and gets cold over time, but Supsok Oki has a gas stove on the left side of the grill where you can keep the soup simmering, so you can eat hot soup while eating meat!

You can control the heat like this too! You can turn it on and off whenever you want, so my friend and I could chat comfortably and eat slowly!

Beef radish soup simmered with an egg

Supsok Oki Jip serves beef radish soup (뭇국) as a basic side, and they give you an egg along with it! They told us once the soup starts boiling, to crack the egg in, so we did exactly that and the soup got even richer! So fresh-tasting!

Three servings of emperor neukgansal for two

Here comes Supsok Oki Jip's emperor short ribs (황제늑간살)! Since it was just the two of us, we first ordered 2 servings, but it felt a little short (I hadn't eaten lunch, ㅠ) so we ordered 1 more serving later! When the emperor short ribs arrived, they came with scallions, king oyster mushroom, and pineapple — and the mushroom and pineapple get grilled!! The best part was realizing Supsok Oki Jip truly understands the real flavor of pineapple!!!! A lot of people hate grilled pineapple on fire. But seeing hot grilled pineapple at Supsok Oki Jip was honestly moving... (if you like Hawaiian pizza, you know ㅎ.ㅎ)

On top of Supsok Oki Jip's emperor short ribs there was some kind of garlic-based sauce covering the meat, and as it grilled over the fire it brought out even more flavor! Good good!!

A table set beautifully full! Doesn't it make your mouth water? And this is before we even added more meat!

Sizzling and crackling, the emperor short ribs at Supsok Oki Jip! The color of the meat looked amazing and the freshly mixed garlic sauce added great savory flavor haha

The emperor short ribs grilled to perfection!!!! Chewy and delicious, with pineapple grilling right beside it

I ordered rice to eat with the meat, but since there was also beef radish soup, it basically turned into a full Korean meal set! Very filling! And the colors and visuals were a bonus!

Ahh... that was some good meat...! Two women demolished 3 servings of emperor short ribs,,,

The forest-green interior at Supsok Oki Jip

The interior at Supsok Oki Jip Uijeongbu Station Main Branch was so pretty! It had a vibe like Spirited Away, and the green that made it feel like you'd entered a forest was so calming haha

Set add-ons and Korean traditional liquor

At Supsok Oki Jip Uijeongbu Station Main Branch, if you add the set option when ordering meat, you get a beef tripe hot pot and curry together, which is a pretty unique combo. I can't eat tripe so I didn't order the set, but if you like tripe, I think it's worth trying since the set composition is so unusual! Also, Supsok Oki Jip sells a curated selection of traditional Korean liquors, so you can enjoy traditional drinks with various charms of flavor! Of course I can't drink either so I didn't order any, but since meat usually pairs with drinks, if you visit Supsok Oki Jip, pairing it with a traditional liquor might be a great idea!
