Jeonju Korean BBQ after work: marinated beef galbi, Ubookgeum
Ubookgeum Saenggalbi Seosin Branch (우복금생갈비 서신점) is a charcoal-grill galbi (Korean ribs) restaurant on Ongoeul-ro in Seosin-dong, Wansan-gu, Jeonju. After work, the writer ordered one plate of marinated beef galbi, grilled it over charcoal and ate it plain, then wrapped in lettuce with garlic, ginseng sprouts and pickled onion, and finally straight off the bone, alongside generous side dishes including steamed egg and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew). With a sweet, not-too-salty marinade balanced by real charcoal smoke, Ubookgeum Saenggalbi Seosin Branch is a solid pick for tender beef ribs in Seosin-dong, Jeonju.
