Over a late brunch with family, Deojinji served one portion each of Damyang-style pork galbi and spicy pork galbi, already charcoal-grilled and brought out on a hot stone plate of onions, alongside tidy side dishes that included both soy-marinated and seasoned crab plus cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew). Not having to grill the meat yourself makes Deojinji an easy stop for a meal mid-trip. ## Good to know - **Main menu**: Damyang-style pork galbi, tteokgalbi (grilled minced meat patty) — served already charcoal-grilled - **Ordered this visit**: Pork galbi and spicy pork galbi, one portion each - **Side dishes**: Two kinds of crab — soy-marinated and seasoned — plus cheonggukjang - **The restaurant**: Former site of the Bakdalgae rest stop; large hall, group seating, ample parking - **Shuttle**: Free shuttle pickup to Resom Resort - **Wait**: Weekday afternoon visit, seated right away with no wait - **Snacks at the entrance**: Self-serve snacks such as puffed corn (special gangnaeng-i) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* We came to play at Forest Resom, and kept passing Deojinji Sutbul Galbi on the way in and out. ![Exterior of Deojinji Sutbul Galbi along the road in Baegun-myeon, Jecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-01-7jsyk-900.webp) It's a little outside downtown Jecheon, but the huge restaurant appears right after you pass the Bakdalgae Recreation Forest sign. We skipped breakfast that day and were figuring out what to eat for a late brunch when we picked Deojinji Sutbul Galbi, a place we'd bookmarked as a good spot near Jecheon Forest Resom. ![Entrance to Deojinji with no wait on a weekday afternoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-02-1ba1r-900.webp) Maybe because it was a weekday afternoon, we got seated right away with no wait. ## From the Bakdalgae rest stop to Deojinji Sutbul Galbi Deojinji is apparently a charcoal-grill restaurant that took over the site of the old Bakdalgae rest stop. Probably because it used to be a rest stop on the old national highway, the building itself is quite large and the parking area looked generous too. Right from the entrance it felt hearty. There were various snacks laid out, and my mom and sister were thrilled to spot the chapssal-oksusu (glutinous corn) we'd been hunting for. ![Snack corner set up at the entrance of Deojinji](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-03-v2v8s-900.webp) ![Special puffed corn kernels in a rice cooker](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-04-1ikfx-900.webp) While I was taking photos I spotted what it actually was and burst out laughing haha. There was a big rice cooker full of puffed corn kernels — they'd seen the sign that said 'world's warmest special corn kernels' and assumed it meant actual corn. The moment we opened it, it was just packed with puffed rice snacks, which was so funny. I ended up filming it to show them haha. ## Inside Deojinji: a spacious, spotless hall Walking in, the place was much bigger than I expected. The tables had generous spacing and the overall vibe was clean, making it comfortable for a family meal. ![Deojinji's spacious dining hall with generous table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-05-1rfci-900.webp) The hall is big enough that it looks like it could handle large groups without a problem. And there was a tablecloth on the table — it's been a while since I've seen that too. ![Table set with a nostalgic tablecloth](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-06-43zh3-900.webp) Somehow that touch felt oddly nostalgic. ## Damyang-style pork galbi, the family's unanimous order The moment we saw the menu, we all agreed on pork galbi (grilled short ribs), unanimously. ![Deojinji's menu board listing Damyang-style pork galbi and tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-07-8qljy-794.webp) Damyang-style pork galbi and tteokgalbi are the main dishes, and since they said it comes already grilled over charcoal, I was looking forward to it. Plenty of places have you grill your own meat, but on a trip, even grilling meat yourself is a bit of a chore. I liked that this charcoal meat comes out already grilled so you can just eat it easily. After ordering, we waited a bit and a table full of neat, tidy side dishes arrived. ![Neatly laid table of Deojinji's side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-08-1ry24-900.webp) ### Side dishes at Deojinji: soy-marinated and seasoned crab There were quite a lot of side dishes, and each one was plated cleanly, so it looked great too. What especially caught my eye was the crab. Both soy sauce crab and seasoned crab came out. It had been a while since I'd seen a place serve two kinds of crab as side dishes. The soy sauce crab wasn't too salty and was delicious, and the seasoned crab had a mild flavor too, making it easy to eat as a side. ![Soy sauce crab served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-09-1dy71-900.webp) ![Seasoned crab served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-10-18hkm-845.webp) My youngest sibling said she wanted more of the seasoned crab — if we'd stayed one more day we could have eaten our fill, which was a bit of a shame. Every side dish had a flavor that kept drawing our hands, so we were picking at this and that even before the meat arrived. ![Plate of Deojinji side dishes that kept drawing our hands](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-11-2aebv-900.webp) ![Close-up of Deojinji's side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-12-2q5ag-900.webp) ![Deojinji side dish served in a small bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-13-1k0mk-900.webp) ![Seasoned vegetable side dish from Deojinji's table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-14-js2o4-900.webp) ![Another plate of Deojinji side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-15-1spjy-900.webp) ![Lettuce wraps and side dishes served with the pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-16-eq83v-885.webp) ## Sizzling charcoal-grilled pork galbi on a stone plate While we were still eating the side dishes, the charcoal-grilled pork galbi followed. ![Charcoal-grilled pork galbi served over onions on a hot stone plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-17-1uoin-1200.webp) It comes with onions laid on a hot stone plate and the meat placed on top, which grabs your attention visually right away. It arrives still sizzling, so the smell hits you too. Meat someone else grills for you is still the best. Charcoal galbi that's grilled for you — how could it possibly not be good? Meat grilled by someone else tastes amazing~~ haha. The meat was tender with no gamey smell, and the seasoning wasn't as strong as I expected. My mom especially loved it, and you know the rule — if mom likes it, it's a good place. That's basically a universal law haha. The charcoal aroma was well soaked in too, so it was tasty even eaten plain. ![Charcoal-scented pork galbi eaten together with onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-18-z462b-900.webp) Eating it together with the onions added a sweetness that paired well. ## Is the spicy pork galbi worth ordering too? My husband ordered a separate serving of spicy pork galbi. The spicy galbi here is quite unique. ![A single serving of spicy pork galbi grilled with gochujang seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-19-15qe3-900.webp) It felt like the base pork galbi seasoning had gochujang (red chili paste) sauce brushed on and grilled, but it wasn't as spicy as I expected. You could taste the distinct gochujang flavor in the spicy pork galbi, and that actually made you keep reaching for more. ![Close-up of the spicy seasoning coating the pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-20-11v7h-900.webp) Thanks to that, my mom and sibling, who don't usually go for spicy food, could each try a few pieces too. My sibling especially loved it wrapped in lettuce, saying it tasted even better that way. I tried a piece of galbi wrapped too, and yeah — galbi really is meant to be wrapped. With the charcoal-scented meat and the wraps on top, a single bowl of rice suddenly felt like not quite enough. ## Finishing with cheonggukjang and rice Cheonggukjang came out along with the side dishes, and it was quite delicious too. ![Savory cheonggukjang served alongside the side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-21-dqu6j-900.webp) It had that savory, salty taste like something you'd eat at your grandmother's house as a kid. Salty but not overly sharp — it had been a while since I enjoyed cheonggukjang this much. ![Table spread with cheonggukjang and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-22-137xw-900.webp) Overall the food felt tidy and carefully prepared, and you could sense that they put real care into every single dish. ## An easy drive from Resom Forest in Jecheon After the meal we planned to also visit Mokgul Cave, so we drove there ourselves, but there's also a free shuttle running to Resom Resort. If you're staying at Forest Resom and looking for somewhere to eat, taking the shuttle here seems like a solid option. We drove this time, but next time I want to try the free shuttle pickup service. ![Table view at Deojinji after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-23-19nvv-900.webp) A spacious dining hall, neatly prepared food, and above all not having to grill the meat yourself made it a pretty convenient meal on a trip. If we come back to Jecheon Forest Resom, this is a place we'll definitely revisit. ![View of Deojinji's dining room, a spot we plan to revisit](https://img.superchart.com/images/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs-24-1ynmf-900.webp) Next time I'll try the free shuttle, and taste some of the menu items we missed one by one. ## Where it is - Deojinji Sutbul Galbi, Resom Baegun Branch (더진지숯불갈비 리솜백운점) - 585 Bukbu-ro, Baegun-myeon, Jecheon-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea - 충청북도 제천시 백운면 북부로 585 - 37.1436036, 128.03749 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%94%EC%A7%84%EC%A7%80%EC%88%AF%EB%B6%88%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84%20%EB%A6%AC%EC%86%9C%EB%B0%B1%EC%9A%B4%EC%A0%90/@37.1436036,128.03749,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@evening-menu-margin/deojinji-charcoal-galbi-jecheon-spicy-ribs/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
