There are so many BBQ restaurants around here, but I went to one of the busiest of them all: Gwangan-mok (광안목). ![Exterior of Gwangan-mok Gwangan branch, a Gwangalli BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-01-1uvs4-1200.webp) ## Basic info on Gwangan-mok Gwangan branch - Address: 156 Gwangnam-ro, 1st floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - Hours: 12:00–23:30 (break time 15:00–16:30) - Parking: Gwangan Signal Tower parking lot, ₩1,000 supported per hour - Info: Lots of Naver Reservation coupons, free corkage ![Entrance and waiting sign at Gwangan-mok Gwangan branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-02-1gmkl-900.webp) ## A wait even on weekdays? Definitely book ahead Even though I visited on a weekday, there was a long wait. Luckily I'd booked ahead so we ate without waiting at all (table time limit is 2 hours). I'd recommend booking through Naver Reservation — they take reservations for up to 32 people. ## Inside the restaurant and the waiting area The interior of Gwangan-mok is a bit dark for a BBQ place, which gives it a moody atmosphere. It's not huge, but it isn't loud either, so you can eat comfortably. ![Dimly lit interior of the Gwangan-mok restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-03-1ch0c-900.webp) ![Table and seating layout at Gwangan-mok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-04-7sy6c-900.webp) ![Atmosphere inside Gwangan-mok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-05-p8lbd-m-900.webp) Outside there's a restroom and a waiting area — it has a campsite kind of vibe. ![Campsite-style outdoor waiting area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-06-i19gp-900.webp) ![View of Gwangan-mok's outdoor space](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-07-am0vv-900.webp) At Gwangan-mok, the meat comes pre-grilled using an asado grill. They keep pre-grilling good cuts continuously!! ![Pork being pre-grilled on the asado grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-08-qnudd-900.webp) ## Gwangan-mok menu and prices À la carte: - Dry-aged pork neck ₩14,500 - Dry-aged special pork belly ₩14,500 - Gwangan-mok cap meat ₩15,000 Sets: - Only Gwangalli ₩49,000 — limited to 5 sets a day (pork neck + pork belly + jowl) - A set (2 people) ₩57,000 — pork neck 370g + special belly 130g + butter-grilled vegetables - B set (3–4 people) — pork neck 500g + pork belly 260g + butter-grilled vegetables - Cold jeyuk bibim noodles ₩7,000 - Dongchimi (radish water kimchi) cold noodles ₩7,000 - Doenjang stew ₩6,000 - Pudding steamed egg ₩4,500 ![Gwangan-mok à la carte and set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-09-1r14v-966.webp) ## The basic table setting and two signature sauces The basic table setting comes with plenty of side dishes that go well with the meat. The minari (water parsley) geotjeori (fresh kimchi) in particular was really good. ![Basic table setting served with the meat at Gwangan-mok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-10-1qcwk-966.webp) ![Minari geotjeori side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-11-1d8j7-900.webp) Anchovy salt — a handmade salt made from prized anchovies sourced from Gijang in the clean southern sea. It's not salty at all and its savory depth doubles the flavor of the meat. Chimichurri — the South American sauce reimagined in a Korean style with dangwi (angelica) and perilla leaves, their signature sauce. ### Self-serve bar The items in the basic table setting can also be refilled at the self-serve bar. It was well maintained — I was impressed at how much care went into keeping dust out and everything fresh. ![Covered, well-maintained self-serve bar at Gwangan-mok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-12-15lgv-900.webp) ![Dry-aged pork neck B set grilled on an asado grill at Gwangan-mok Gwangan branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-13-rpk73-900.webp) ## The B set we ordered for three B set (3–4 people): pork neck 500g + pork belly 260g + butter-grilled vegetables. For our group of two adults and one elementary schooler, the staff recommended the B set, so that's what we got. It takes some time to grill, and after about 10 minutes it arrived. Since it comes pre-grilled, we didn't have to do any grilling ourselves, which was so convenient. ![Pre-grilled pork neck and pork belly from the B set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-14-8hhba-900.webp) ### What's special about Gwangan-mok's pork? They alternate between dry-aging and wet-aging (vacuum-sealed, chilled aging). Moisture is drawn out during the aging process, which deepens the pork's natural flavor, apparently. Even just looking at it, you can tell the meat is soft and tender. Since it's pre-grilled, the staff finish it off a bit more on both sides before you eat it. The butter-grilled vegetables only come with the set menus, and they're another highlight. They're slowly cooked over low heat, and you eat them at the end. They grilled scallions and mushrooms too, and the staff told us to try dipping the first bite in salt. ![Scallions and mushrooms cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-15-1ns0c-900.webp) ![Grill topped with butter-grilled vegetables and meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-16-17pde-900.webp) The anchovy salt really isn't salty at all and has great savory depth. It's magic how much better it makes the meat taste!!! ![Aged pork neck dipped in anchovy salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-17-8edry-900.webp) ![A bite of meat topped with minari muchim](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-18-gsd19-900.webp) It's not just scallions — there's minari muchim (seasoned water parsley) too, which gives it a refreshing scent and cuts through any greasiness completely. Honestly, the meat is so good on its own you don't even need to wrap it, haha. ![Close-up of well-grilled pork belly at Gwangan-mok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-19-q8lmv-900.webp) ![A plate of meat with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-20-chxif-715.webp) ### Basil wraps One way to enjoy the meat at Gwangan-mok is with basil wraps. ![Basil wrap topped with fresh basil leaves at Gwangan-mok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-21-1cjtz-820.webp) This was my first time eating raw basil — putting one leaf at a time on the meat and wrapping it up gives a completely different, appealing flavor. The basil wasn't too strong, so even my kid could eat it. ## Doenjang stew and pudding steamed egg Gwangan-mok's doenjang (fermented soybean paste) stew is a refreshing countryside-style doenjang. Savory yet clean and light, with just the right seasoning — perfect doenjang stew for my family. It can also be made non-spicy, which is great for eating with kids. Of course, it's even better spicy. ![Clean, refreshing countryside-style doenjang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-22-1nupj-900.webp) Pudding steamed egg. Silky, super soft steamed egg with a pudding-like texture, seasoned just right. ![Soft pudding-style steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-23-xs9r5-825.webp) Corn grilled slowly with the butter vegetables. Eating it at the very end tastes like honey!!!! ## Parking vouchers are at the counter My whole family left happy and full. The parking voucher is available at the counter — just pick one up on your way out. We were there a bit over an hour, so one voucher was enough for us. ![Parking voucher received at the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok-24-kelr8-900.webp) If you're coming to Gwangalli, I'd recommend stopping by Gwangan-mok Gwangan branch — one of the best restaurants in Busan for Korean BBQ. ## Where it is - Gwangan-mok Gwangan Branch (광안목 광안점) - 156 Gwangnam-ro, 1st floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 광남로 156 1층 - 35.1549641, 129.1184036 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B4%91%EC%95%88%EB%AA%A9%20%EA%B4%91%EC%95%88%EC%A0%90/@35.1549641,129.1184036,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-morning-counter/gwangalli-pork-asado-grill-gwanganmok/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
