After parking, we noticed one side of the yard was full of white chive flowers in bloom.

Baby chairs were also available, making it a good option for visiting with children. ![Spacious, comfortable interior seating at Yeoyejeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-04-bp58e-900.webp) A spacious, comfortable interior with generous seating, used not just for family meals but for group gatherings and work dinners too.

We came for dinner on a weeknight, craving meat during our Yangyang trip. ![Yeoyejeong's meat menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-07-127ig-900.webp) ![Yeoyejeong's meal menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-08-1yc6i-900.webp) Yeoyejeong's menu board. ![Sign for Yeoyejeong's lunch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-09-1m9vw-900.webp) We came for dinner, but the lunch menu also looked generous and reasonably priced. (The kimchi jjigae was so good, I'd love to come back for the lunch special version if I get the chance.) ## Side dishes and the coffee-tree binchotan charcoal grill Yeoyejeong's side dishes were made from homemade banchan and homegrown vegetables, and the charcoal used is coffee-tree binchotan. It produced much less smoke than regular charcoal — clearly high-quality. ![Full table setting of Yeoyejeong's side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-10-duavh-900.webp) While waiting for the meat, the side dishes arrived. Neatly arranged banchan, likely made with homemade dishes and homegrown vegetables, tasted great from the very first bite. ![Side dish made from homegrown chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-11-otvll-900.webp) The side dish made from homegrown chives paired perfectly with the marinated ribs. ![Coffee-tree binchotan charcoal brought to the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-12-1br6w-900.webp) Then the charcoal arrived. Even before the meat hit the grill, a subtle charcoal aroma rose up. Yeoyejeong, a Yangyang meat restaurant, uses coffee-tree binchotan — quality charcoal with much less smoke than usual. ## How did three servings of Yeoyejeong's marinated ribs taste? Yeoyejeong's marinated ribs are made with hand-butchered ribs marinated in a house-made sauce. The 3 servings disappeared quickly — that's how tender and sweet they were. ![Table setting with 3 servings of Yeoyejeong's marinated ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-13-158ex-900.webp) Yeoyejeong's signature marinated ribs — hand-butchered ribs marinated in a house-made sauce. ![Marinated ribs cooking over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-14-1kod5-1200.webp) ![Marinated ribs sizzling on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-15-i8aqa-900.webp) The marinated ribs sizzling away. Because the charcoal was so good, the meat grilled beautifully.

And the spicy cucumber salad — totally my kind of side! It gave the palate a nice kick that matched the marinated ribs so well. ![Lettuce wrap with marinated ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-20-w0z00-900.webp) Good marinated ribs need lettuce wraps too.

We debated between this and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) but landed on kimchi jjigae, and it was really, really good. ![A bowl of Yeoyejeong's kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-22-12htf-900.webp) After good, quality meat, you have to finish with carbs. ![Kimchi jjigae broth with thick-cut aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-23-7fe04-900.webp) My mom, who loves spicy food, was so happy with how good the kimchi jjigae was. ![Rice mixed into the kimchi jjigae broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae/yangyang-yeoyeojeong-binchotan-galbi-kimchi-jjigae-24-uqpvr-900.webp) Mixing in the big pieces of meat, well-fermented kimchi, and broth for a big bite — so good! We immediately ordered another bowl of rice. Yeoyejeong offers a lunch special with kimchi jjigae and stone-pot rice, so if you love kimchi jjigae, definitely try it here.
