Anyang Korean BBQ dinner after Anyang Resort: Sannae Sutbul Galbi

After visiting Anyang Resort (안양유원지) with my partner, we picked Sannae Sutbul Galbi (산내숯불갈비) for dinner, which had good reviews among Bakdal-dong restaurants!

Sannae Sutbul Galbi Bakdal Branch: location and parking

Sannae Sutbul Galbi is at 44 Bakdaruhoe-ro 138beon-gil, Manan-gu, Anyang, Gyeonggi, South Korea, near Bakdal Market. Hours are 12:00-22:30 on weekdays (break time 15:00-16:30, last order 21:30). On Saturdays and Sundays it is also 12:00-22:30 (last order 21:30), with no break time on weekends and public holidays.

You can park 1-2 cars in front of the restaurant, and if there is no space, use the Anyang 7 Dunchi public parking lot (free).

Weekend dinner atmosphere and seating

Most tables seat four, and there are large tables that work well for group dinners. There are also separate rooms inside, so it looked good for a more private meal too, haha. It was a weekend evening and the tables were almost all full, so this must be a spot the neighborhood really loves in Bakdal-dong.

Basic side dishes include kimchi, gungchae pickles (pickled stem lettuce), white kimchi, shredded scallion salad and geotjeori (fresh kimchi salad). If you need more, just grab them yourself from the self-serve bar.

Sannae Sutbul Galbi menu and prices

Sannae Sutbul Galbi has a single menu item: 250g of Hanwoo-style marinated pork galbi (pork ribs). With only one dish, they must be confident in the flavor, I thought. And at ₩15,000 per serving, it is a great value given current prices, and soju is just ₩4,000, so it is perfect for a drink with the meat, haha.

Here is what we ordered:

• 2 servings of marinated pork galbi
• Naengmyeon (cold noodles)

Charcoal-grilled marinated pork galbi

Soon the charcoal arrived. The moment I smelled it I got even hungrier... With charcoal-grilled meat, the smoky aroma feels like you have already eaten half of it.

This is the marinated pork galbi, aged in its seasoning. It looked great and appetizing, so let's grill it up.

Pork galbi burns quickly if you grill it wrong, but every table has a guide on how to grill it well. I just followed it and it turned out nicely.

Flipping it slowly, the galbi turned a golden brown and looked so delicious. Add the smell of grilling and my hunger doubled... 🤤

I took a bite of a well-cooked piece with the pickled onion sauce. The meat was tender and the marinade wasn't too sweet, which I liked. Galbi that is only sweet gets old after a few pieces, but here the salty and sweet flavors were balanced, so I could enjoy it to the end. With a subtle charcoal aroma too, galbi really does taste best grilled over charcoal 😋

Finishing with mul naengmyeon

For a side with pork galbi, mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in chilled broth) is the classic combo! The broth was cold and the noodles chewy, and wrapping some galbi in the noodles for a bite made my whole mouth feel refreshed.

Review event and counter extras

They are also running a Naver review event right now: write a review and you get steamed egg or pork skin as a free service, so definitely join in if you visit.

After a big meal, I went to pay and found Febreze and candy at the counter, so you can freshen up the smell of meat on your clothes and sweeten your mouth, a nice little touch... 👏 Also, Anyang Sarang Pay (local currency) is accepted, so keep that in mind if you use it!

Honest review

It was an evening of satisfying galbi for the first time in a while. If you are looking for a good pork galbi place in Bakdal-dong, or a spot for a family meal or company dinner, Sannae Sutbul Galbi is worth a visit.
