Sunday dinner reservation at a Naju galbi restaurant: Chamsutjip

Chamsutjip Naju Innovation City Branch is genuinely one of the best pork rib restaurants in Naju!!! It's one of the tastiest pork ribs I've ever had, haha. I've been to a lot of meat restaurants in Bitgaram-dong, and this is the one I recommend most in Naju.

The seasoned ribs are great, and every single side dish that comes with them — the seasoned crab, the cucumber jelly salad, the corn snail miso soup — is delicious too >< This is my honest review of Chamsutjip in Bitgaram-dong, Naju Innovation City!

Where Chamsutjip Naju Innovation City Branch is and when it opens

Chamsutjip Naju Innovation City Branch is on the 1st floor of 317-15 Green-ro, Naju, South Jeolla. It's open daily from 11:00 to 22:00 with a break time from 15:00 to 17:00. You can book through Naver Reservation, and there's underground parking too ⭕️

It's in a commercial building near the Lumen Heim apartments! It's on the first floor of the Lake Rock Bowling building, and since Bitgaram Lake Park is right in front, the view is amazing, haha.

This is the place, haha. There's also an outdoor terrace, perfect for weather like this!

Sunday dinner at Chamsutjip: why you need a reservation

The place is huge but always busy, so I made a Naver reservation ahead of time for 5pm on Sunday~ All the indoor tables were already booked out, haha. By around 6:30, both the hall and the outdoor tables were completely full! Such a popular spot!!!

Chamsutjip menu and the 2+1 seasoned pork rib deal

The main dish, seasoned pork ribs, is currently 2+1!! Such great value, haha. Since it's a pork rib specialty spot, I definitely recommend the pork ribs, haha.

The corn snail miso soup was also really good, haha. The table next to us said they always order the jjagyechi (mixed noodle-and-rice dish) when they come. Genuinely every single dish here is delicious!

They're also running a review event~~ And corkage is free!!!

📋 What we ordered — Seasoned pork ribs 2+1 deal, 2 bowls of rice

Side dishes and the self-serve bar at Chamsutjip

The side dishes came out first like this, haha: seasoned crab, cucumber jelly salad, shredded scallions, gungchae pickles, corn salad, kimchi, garlic, ssamjang (dipping sauce), and lettuce wraps~~

The seasoned crab wasn't spicy and was so good, haha — the kind you want to order seconds of!! The cucumber salad had big chunks of jelly in it too, the portions were huge~~ and the seasoning was perfectly balanced.

There's also a self-serve bar where you can grab more side dishes if you need them! The seasoned crab has to be ordered separately though.

Lockers, aprons and baby chairs for families

They had lockers too! Great for stashing bags and jackets, haha. There are disposable aprons and baby chairs as well~~!

We ordered rice bowls too, haha. Seasoned pork ribs taste best eaten with rice!

How much is 2+1 seasoned pork ribs, and how to grill it

The seasoned ribs 2+1 deal is on, haha, and the portion for three is huge!!! And just looking at the meat, you can tell it's tender and delicious ><

The restaurant has a suggested grilling method, so I followed it, haha. First put just one piece of meat on the grill, then flip it every 10–15 seconds!!!

The ribs really look delicious, right, haha. The meat is thick and there's a lot of meat still on the bone, so it looked so good~~ While grilling, cut it into bite-sized pieces and keep rolling it around as it cooks!!! Grilling it this way made it genuinely amazing — the meat didn't burn and stayed full of sauce, it was so good.

Pork ribs are best eaten with rice, haha. The seasoning is delicious and the meat itself isn't tough, with just the right amount of fat — genuinely the best. Great wrapped in lettuce too, haha. Looking at these photos makes me want to eat it again, and I can totally see why it's so popular.

The free corn snail doenjang stew

This wasn't something we ordered separately — it's the free miso soup that comes standard!! For a complimentary soup, the portion and quality are amazing, haha. It's loaded with crab and corn snails, so the broth is deep but still refreshing, and so delicious. I'd come back just for this on its own, lol.

A table full of food. The portion of pork ribs was pretty big! We'd originally planned to order the 3+1 pork ribs and then naengmyeon (cold noodles) or jjagyechi, but we were too full, so we stopped here. The portions are huge!!!

Keep rolling it around as you grill it, haha. Just looking at the color of the seasoned ribs tells you it's good — slightly sweet, full of juice, and the meat quality was genuinely great!

Keep eating it with rice and lettuce wraps, haha. This is a place I absolutely have to come back to~~

If you're looking for a meat restaurant or pork rib spot in Bitgaram-dong, Naju, I fully recommend Chamsutjip Naju Innovation City Branch, haha. Adults and kids will both love it for sure!!! Great for family gatherings or work dinners too ><
