The lunch special woo seokgalbi table for two runs 35,000 won per person, and the standard bowl of rice can be swapped for sotbap (rice cooked in a stone pot); the meal arrives like a course, from monkfish fritters and seasonal jeon to a nurungji and plum tea finish. Because the ribs come out fully grilled, no smoke clings to your clothes, which makes Dongbaek Seokgalbi an easy choice for a return visit with parents. ## Good to know - **Address**: 100 Chungmu-ro, Unit 102, Asan-si, Chungcheongnam-do - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 (break 15:00–17:00) - **Closed**: Every Monday - **What we ordered**: Lunch special woo seokgalbi table 35,000 won x 2, rice changed to sotbap (stone-pot rice) - **Signature menu**: Woo seokgalbi, wusaeng seokgalbi, Dongbaek seokgalbi / lunch special, Jinji-sang and Janchi-sang single-diner courses - **Facilities**: Groups welcome, several private rooms, separate men's and women's restrooms, high chairs, reservations, wifi, waiting area, corkage available (fee) - **Parking**: Inside the building and to its right; when full, a dedicated lot behind 525-11 Gwongok-dong (3-minute walk) - **Perk**: Show your same-day receipt for a 2,000 won americano at wnc Café next door - **Price reference**: ₩35,000 ≈ $26 · ₩2,000 ≈ $1.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ## Where is Dongbaek Seokgalbi in Asan, and where do you park? Dongbaek Seokgalbi is a premium seokgalbi (stone-grilled short rib) restaurant at 100 Chungmu-ro in Gwongok-dong, Asan. There's parking inside the building, and a small lot on the right side of the building too. It's also close to the Onyang Folk Museum, so it's perfect for stopping by with family after visiting nearby attractions! ![Parking space beside the Dongbaek Seokgalbi building](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-01-1oub5-900.webp) If the lot is full, there's a large dedicated parking lot behind the main building at 525-11 Gwongok-dong, about a 3-minute walk to the restaurant. With this much parking available, you really don't need to worry. I was even more excited to hear that Dongbaek Seokgalbi in Asan is run by two people — one from the Grand Hyatt Seoul, and another who took first place on Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant Jeju Survival. ![Entrance of Dongbaek Seokgalbi Asan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-02-bihn6-m-867.webp) ## Inside Dongbaek Seokgalbi: private rooms for family gatherings The inside of Dongbaek Seokgalbi was wider and cleaner than I expected. It has an open kitchen where you can watch the chef cooking, making it a great spot to bring your parents for a meal. ![Interior of Dongbaek Seokgalbi with the open kitchen visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-03-1t2hs-900.webp) ![Spacious, clean dining hall seating at Dongbaek Seokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-04-xso6c-900.webp) There are also several private rooms in the back where you can eat quietly, so if you're looking for a space for a family gathering or a business meeting, keep that in mind. ![Private room space at Dongbaek Seokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-05-xqa53-900.webp) ![Interior of a family-gathering room at Dongbaek Seokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-06-1adye-900.webp) ## What comes with the 35,000 won lunch special galbi set? Dongbaek Seokgalbi's three signature dishes are woo seokgalbi, wusaeng seokgalbi, and dongbaek seokgalbi, along with a great-value lunch special and solo courses like jinji-sang and janchi-sang. We ordered two servings of the lunch special woo seokgalbi table and swapped the plain rice for sotbap (hot-pot rice). ![Menu board and lunch special lineup at Dongbaek Seokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-07-18cgt-900.webp) If you take part in the Naver receipt review event, you can choose between grilled mackerel, alcohol, or a drink, so keep that in mind when you visit. ![Notice for the Naver receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-08-u9aei-900.webp) ## Banchan side dishes, monkfish fritters and seasonal jeon The banchan (side dishes) at Dongbaek Seokgalbi came out neat and tidy — plated so nicely I felt pampered. There was dipping sauce for the seokgalbi, side dishes, and fresh lettuce wraps too! ![Neatly arranged side dishes and lettuce wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-09-6l4rr-900.webp) And a green onion salad, monkfish fritters, and seasonal jeon (savory pancake) all came standard! ![Green onion salad, monkfish fritters, and seasonal jeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-10-15hh7-900.webp) The monkfish fritters especially were soft, nutty, and delicious. Even the basic side dishes before the seokgalbi arrived tasted great, which made me even more excited. ![Plate of soft, nutty monkfish fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-11-sya31-900.webp) ![Side dish spread for the woo seokgalbi table](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-12-1rntx-900.webp) Woo seokgalbi table ₩35,000 x2 + sotbap upgrade ![Lunch special woo seokgalbi table set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-13-v4647-1200.webp) ### Swapping rice for sotbap, plus the doenjang jjigae No good hanjeongsik (Korean full-course meal) is complete without sotbap and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew)! We swapped for sotbap — if you like it, upgrading is definitely worth it. The doenjang jjigae was savory and paired well with the seokgalbi. ![Sotbap served after the rice upgrade](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-14-zh1q3-900.webp) ![A bowl of savory doenjang jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-15-1lt2u-900.webp) ## How did the woo seokgalbi taste? Dongbaek Seokgalbi's main dish, woo seokgalbi, arrives already fully grilled, so you can eat it right away. I loved that they kept a flame on under the grill plate throughout the meal to keep the meat warm! ![Woo seokgalbi served already grilled on the plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-16-pyx61-900.webp) The woo seokgalbi comes with two rib bones, king oyster mushroom, shishito peppers, garlic, and onion all grilled together, which was great for pairing with the meat. ![Woo seokgalbi grilled with rib bones, king oyster mushroom, and shishito peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-17-endiw-900.webp) ![Plate of woo seokgalbi with garlic and onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-18-1469b-900.webp) This was my first time trying woo seokgalbi, and the meat was so tender, with a seasoning that wasn't too strong and had a clean, light flavor. It was cooked just right too. I don't eat seokgalbi often, but this might be the best I've had. It's tasty paired with the scallion salad or wrapped in lettuce. The meat is so tender that I think even grandparents would enjoy it easily along with parents. And what I really liked was that since it's already grilled, there's no need to cook it yourself, and you can eat cleanly without the smoke smell sticking to your clothes. ![Woo seokgalbi paired with lettuce wraps and scallion salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-19-16sr3-900.webp) ![A tender piece of woo seokgalbi picked up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-20-1r56j-900.webp) ![Table mid-meal with the woo seokgalbi spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-21-eho5s-900.webp) ## Nurungji and plum tea finish, then 2,000 won coffee next door After a filling finish of nurungji (scorched rice), they brought out plum tea too. It was the perfect palate cleanser. ![Nurungji served at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-22-1mnjd-900.webp) ![Plum tea served as a palate cleanser](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-23-1816s-900.webp) If you show your same-day Dongbaek receipt, you can get an Americano at the wnc Café right next door for ₩2,000, so it's worth stopping by if you feel like a coffee. This visit to Dongbaek Seokgalbi turned out to be a clean, satisfying meal. At first I thought it might be a bit pricey, but the quality and taste made it well worth it — a place I'd love to revisit with my parents. If you're looking for a great hanjeongsik (Korean full-course meal) spot in Asan, I'd recommend it. ![Exterior of Dongbaek Seokgalbi Asan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi-24-4fzp0-900.webp) ## Where it is - Dongbaek Seokgalbi Asan Main Branch (동백석갈비 아산본점) - 100 Chungmu-ro, 102-ho, Asan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - 충청남도 아산시 충무로 100 102호 - 36.7897127, 127.00729 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%EB%B0%B1%EC%84%9D%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84%20%EC%95%84%EC%82%B0%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@36.7897127,127.00729,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-golmok-meals/asan-dongbaek-lunch-special-woo-seokgalbi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
