Two diners visited on a weekday for lunch and ordered the small jokbal, served with a full set of banchan, ttukbaegi (stone pot) steamed egg, and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew). The meat came out moist and free of any gamy smell, with pleasantly chewy skin — a solid pick for lunch or a family meal. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2nd floor, Units 204 & 205, A-One Plaza, 52 Yulha 6-ro, Gimhae, Gyeongnam, South Korea - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 (break time 15:00–17:00, last order 20:30) - **Parking**: Building basement parking and nearby parking facilities available - **Jokbal price**: Small/Medium/Large: ₩42,000–₩68,000 - **Ordering**: Tablet ordering at each table - **Extra**: Dessert corner with ade and brewed coffee *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* Today I'm sharing an honest review of Myeongji Cheotjip Jangyu Yulha Branch, a spot in Jangyu Yulha, Gimhae, that's gotten word-of-mouth buzz for its refined Korean dining atmosphere and standout flavor.

We came on a weekday and there was plenty of seating available~ ![Wood-tone interior of the main dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-04-151hu-900.webp) ![Seating area with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-05-14b0z-900.webp) ## Interior and semi-private seating The interior has a calm wood-tone design and a wide-open view through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving it a real sense of openness — and it was spotlessly clean too. ![Seating well-suited for dining with parents](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-06-g2pzf-900.webp) A restaurant with just the right atmosphere for bringing your parents 🥰 It felt upscale. ![Semi-private table for family gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-07-xxvev-900.webp) There's also a semi-private space (?) that looked great for family gatherings — nice vibe too. ![In-store receipt review event announcement](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-08-s2va9-900.webp) If you leave a Naver receipt review and win first place as Monthly Review King, you get a ₩100,000 meal discount voucher!!!!

Haha, the colors were pretty too. ![Neatly arranged basic banchan spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-10-16eqc-900.webp) From fresh ssam (wrap) vegetables to spicy kimchi and soft ttukbaegi (stone pot) steamed egg, each dish was clean and simple — perfect for whetting your appetite before the meal. 😚 ![Ssam vegetables and ttukbaegi steamed egg banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-11-19xcv-900.webp) This doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) was tasty too! Haha, it paired really well with the jokbal. ![Doenjang jjigae served alongside the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-12-1wh0m-900.webp) ## Jokbal small for two — how did it taste? Jokbal (small/medium/large: ₩42,000–₩68,000), braised in Myeongji Cheotjip's own special sauce made with various fruits and medicinal herbs. Since there were two of us, we ordered the small. ![A plate of small jokbal braised in special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-13-42wmw-1200.webp) Finally the main event, jokbal, arrived! It already passed with flying colors just from the glossy, shiny look. 👍👍 Braised in Myeongji Cheotjip's own special sauce with fruits and medicinal herbs, it had a deep, rich flavor with no gamy smell at all. Taking a bite, the meat was moist and tender, while the skin still had that satisfying chewiness. Look at the skin part 👀 Doesn't it look even chewier than at a dedicated jokbal restaurant? ![Close-up of the chewy jokbal skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-14-183wv-900.webp) ![A piece of jokbal meat picked up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-15-12mzm-900.webp) Even eaten plain, the special sauce gives it just the right seasoning, and wrapping a big bite in fresh perilla leaf with the special sauce and garlic doubles the savory flavor. ![Perilla leaf wrap topped with jokbal and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-16-4jg1r-900.webp) ## A dessert corner to finish After the meal, you can wrap things up cleanly with a cool ade or a warm brewed coffee at the dessert corner set up in one corner of the restaurant. That kind of attention to detail made me feel taken care of right up to the end. Haha. ![Dessert corner offering ade and brewed coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip/gimhae-yulha-jokbal-myeongji-cheotjip-17-1mzpe-900.webp) Myeongji Cheotjip Jangyu Yulha Branch — where you can enjoy deeply flavorful, specially braised jokbal in a neat and pleasant space!
