We ordered a two-person spicy pork set and added ₩9,900 braised beef short ribs, then enjoyed endless side dishes, self-serve ramen, rice cakes, and dessert.

Everything was so delicious that I absolutely had to share it ✨ I can’t even remember how many extra bowls of rice we ordered~ haha ## Masan Ssamjangjip location and atmosphere It is on the second floor at 65 Haean-daero, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon, Gyeongnam. ![Directions to Masan Ssamjangjip on Haean-daero](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-02-9w73a-900.webp) It is on the second floor along Haean-daero, and the big sign saying “Ssamjangjip” really catches your eye from afar! ![Masan Ssamjangjip sign and storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-03-1wbe7-900.webp) ![Masan Ssamjangjip sign and storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-04-z7io9-900.webp) ![Masan Ssamjangjip sign and storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-05-vraea-900.webp) When we stepped inside, it had such a warm, old-school atmosphere! There were lots of tables and plenty of space, which was great. And the tables were actually much bigger than at most places—but you’ll see why later~ ✌🏻 ![Restaurant interior with spacious tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-06-1kng1-900.webp) ## Ordering the spicy pork set and braised beef short ribs The menu is at the table. We got the two-person spicy pork set and added braised beef short ribs! How could we resist when the ribs were ₩9,900? 💦 ![Menu for the spicy pork set and braised beef short ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-07-v8p5x-900.webp) After ordering properly, we headed to the self-serve corner. ![Self-serve ramen and dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-08-3zkm0-900.webp) ![Self-serve ramen and dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-09-p4j4h-900.webp) ## Self-serve ramen, rice cakes, and dessert First up, the ramen corner. There were several kinds of ramen, and the machine cooks it nicely for you. Bubble, bubble~ Perfect for taking the edge off your hunger!!! 💗 You know how incredible that ramen smell is. Next was another self-serve section. I’m such a rice-cake lover, so I seriously love tteok (Korean rice cakes).. 💗 This was my first time seeing a place with rice cakes ready to go. All kinds of dessert were available—fruit, rice cakes, and even simple snacks!! The owner is the best ✨ For a rice-cake lover, rice cakes first~ I’m eating them right after my meal 🤤🤤 ## A Korean set meal with table-buckling side dishes ![Korean set meal spread with numerous side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-10-1xaj9-1200.webp) Wow… these side dishes were laid out as if they were going to make the table legs snap. There were so many that I couldn’t even count them all 🤤 Ah, so that’s why the table was huge, haha. The reason immediately made sense 👍🏻 ![Colorful spread of Korean side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-11-14q2s-900.webp) ![Colorful spread of Korean side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-12-n9983-900.webp) The number of side dishes had my jaw dropping 😍 There were seasoned garlic scapes, bracken fern, braised lotus root, soy-braised quail eggs, stir-fried fish cake, stir-fried zucchini, and more—dishes that everyone can enjoy!! ![Masan Ssamjangjip ssamjang mixed with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-13-zjt5p-900.webp) The star at Masan Ssamjangjip is the ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste) ❤️ Seriously, mix it with rice here and it’s a total rice thief,, I could finish a whole bowl of rice with just this. This kind of Korean set meal makes me so happy. I hope nobody misses out on this place. I loved that it felt like a home-cooked meal 💛💛 Korean-food lovers, gather round!! ![Main dishes in the Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-14-ksfps-900.webp) ![Main dishes in the Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-15-1k4cw-900.webp) ![Main dishes in the Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-16-jpdq2-900.webp) ## Several main dishes and doenjang-jjigae Another amazing thing: there wasn’t just one main side dish! Spicy stir-fried pork, braised kimchi, chive pancake, and tofu kimchi.. 💗 Every time another dish was placed on the table, we kept gasping. ![Spicy pork, braised kimchi, chive pancake, and tofu kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-17-1g554-900.webp) There was also pan-fried acorn jelly and doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew), which no Korean meal can go without~ It was basically telling us to eat three bowls of rice here ✨ ![Pan-fried acorn jelly and doenjang-jjigae spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-18-16qm0-900.webp) The doenjang-jjigae even had crab in it, and the broth was spicy, deep, savory, and so delicious ㅠㅠ It was loaded with ingredients and tasted wonderfully refreshing! ![Doenjang-jjigae with crab and generous ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-19-13me3-900.webp) ## Tender meat in ₩9,900 braised beef short ribs The braised beef short ribs came out last. Just look at them 🤤🤤 The meat was so tender that it slipped right off the bone without any effort at all! You can see it in the video too, right? ![Braised beef short ribs separating from the bone](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-20-15k65-900.webp) Once we had removed all the bones, we generously cut the meat into bite-size pieces~ Then picked up a big piece of meat~ ![Braised beef short rib meat cut into bite-size pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-21-4n5pc-900.webp) Eating it with steamed rice is,, pure love ❤️ The sauce was so good. Happiness for ₩9,900,, 💗 The meat was incredibly tender and soft. The sweet-salty seasoning had soaked deeply into the ribs, so every bite was full of rich flavor. Its gentle sweetness and savory saltiness were so well balanced that I kept reaching for more. I just couldn’t stop using my chopsticks ✨ ![Tender braised beef short ribs infused with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-22-1ajer-900.webp) The kimchi with the tofu kimchi dish came stir-fried, which made it even tastier. The deep flavor of the stir-fried kimchi went so well with the nutty, mild tofu~ ![Stir-fried kimchi and tofu kimchi side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-23-1bmxu-900.webp) We tore the chive pancake right up~~ and dipped it deeply into the braised-rib sauce, haha. It came nicely browned, crispy on the outside and moist inside, so it was delicious. ![Chive pancake dipped in braised-rib sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-24-1wj3o-900.webp) I couldn’t describe the taste of every single dish, but truly, every side dish was delicious! In particular, nothing was overly seasoned, while each ingredient’s flavor still came through beautifully, so everything was great with rice~ Even though they were all Korean side dishes, the flavors and textures were so varied that as we tried a little of each, we suddenly found ourselves finishing a bowl of rice. Extra rice is a must here! I highly recommend it. It is also perfect for a family gathering 💗😍 ## Where it is - Masan Ssamjangjip (마산쌈장집) - 2F, 65 Haean-daero, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon, Gyeongnam, South Korea - 경상남도 창원시 마산합포구 해안대로 65 2층 - 35.1818724, 128.5646453 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EC%82%B0%EC%8C%88%EC%9E%A5%EC%A7%91/@35.1818724,128.5646453,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-spoon-rest/masan-ssamjangjip-galbijjim-banchan-48d3/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
