Today I'm introducing Choryang Hyeongje Galbi (초량형제갈비), located in Choryang-dong, Dong-gu, Busan. It sits tucked inside the Choryang pork rib alley, and rather than being a big flashy place, it feels more like a cozy neighborhood meat joint. It's also close to Busan Station, so it's a good pick if you're looking for a dinner spot during a Busan trip or searching for good eats in Choryang. ![Exterior of Choryang Hyeongje Galbi inside the Choryang pork rib alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-02-1703p-966.webp) ![Entrance and sign of Choryang Hyeongje Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-03-1r4cf-966.webp) ![Cozy interior tables at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-04-9qswc-966.webp) ![View of the seating area inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-05-1oho7-966.webp) ## Where is Choryang Hyeongje Galbi, and what are its hours? Choryang Hyeongje Galbi is located at 15-4 Choryang-ro, 1F, Dong-gu, Busan, South Korea. It's open from 16:00 to 22:50, with last order at 21:50. It's closed every second Tuesday of the month. Since it can get crowded during dinner hours, it might be good to avoid peak times or check ahead about reservations before visiting. ## A grill house inside the Choryang pork rib alley Choryang Hyeongje Galbi is located inside Busan's Choryang pork rib alley. Rather than a flashy, large space, it's closer to a cozy neighborhood meat restaurant with a modest number of tables. That made it comfortable to eat here while soaking in the old-school atmosphere of Choryang's long-standing rib alley. On weekday evenings or weekends when it gets busy, there could be a wait, so it might be worth adjusting your visit time a bit. ## Pork ribs and fresh ribs at 12,000 won per serving The meat menu at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi includes pork ribs, unmarinated ribs, pork belly, and pork neck. Based on my visit, the main meat menu items were ₩12,000 per serving at the time, a fairly affordable price point to order without much hesitation. The most popular dish here is definitely the pork ribs. The sauce isn't overpowering — it's a sweet, savory style that blends naturally with the meat — while the unmarinated ribs let you enjoy the pure flavor of the meat without any sauce, so you can pick according to your taste. If you're visiting with a group, it's worth ordering both the marinated and unmarinated ribs to compare. ![Menu board with meat menu prices at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-06-m7cfm-966.webp) ![A plate of ordered marinated pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-07-dhxba-966.webp) ![A plate of unmarinated ribs without sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-08-zhfbc-966.webp) ![Scallion kimchi and lettuce wraps served as side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-09-1xw73-966.webp) ## Staff grill the pork ribs at your table One of the perks of Choryang Hyeongje Galbi is that the staff grill the meat for you. This is especially handy with marinated ribs, which can burn easily on the grill and need careful attention if you're grilling it yourself. Since the staff grill it for you, you can chat comfortably with your group while eating, and enjoy the meat cooked to just the right doneness — really convenient. It's also a solid option if you're near Busan Station looking for a place that grills the meat for you. ## What side dishes come with the meat? The side dishes served with the meat are also fairly varied. Scallion kimchi, white kimchi, aged kimchi, lettuce wraps, shredded scallion, pickles, kimchi pancake, and steamed egg all come out to pair with the meat. The scallion kimchi in particular pairs really well with the pork ribs. It's good just as a side, but grilling it lightly on the pan and eating it together with the pork ribs makes for an even better combo — the sweet ribs and the well-fermented scallion kimchi work great together. The white kimchi and aged kimchi are also nice to mix in between bites to reset your palate. ## How do the pork ribs at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi taste? The pork ribs, grilled to a nice golden brown, have a sauce that blends well with the meat and a tender texture. Rather than being overly sweet or salty, the sweet-savory balance is just right, making them easy to keep eating without feeling heavy. They go great with plain rice too, and wrapping pork ribs and scallion kimchi together in lettuce, or pairing with aged kimchi, are both great combos. The unmarinated ribs let you taste the meat's natural flavor unlike the marinated version, so ordering both lets you enjoy two different charms. ![Marinated pork ribs cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-10-1asdf-966.webp) ![Close-up of golden brown grilled pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-11-1xthr-966.webp) ![Scallion kimchi lightly grilled on the pan with pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-12-ace6r-966.webp) ![Side dish spread with white kimchi and aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-13-vyb4x-966.webp) ![Pork ribs and scallion kimchi on a lettuce wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-14-1mr92-966.webp) ![Staff grilling unmarinated ribs tableside](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-15-14opq-966.webp) ![A bite of pork rib eaten with plain rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-16-1tkky-966.webp) ![Steamed egg and kimchi pancake side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-17-603xh-966.webp) ![Pork ribs wrapped with aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-18-1nbn9-966.webp) ![A bowl of kimchi noodle soup ordered to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu/choryang-brothers-galbi-kimchi-kalguksu-19-7sb08-966.webp) ## Finishing the meal with kimchi kalguksu After eating plenty of meat, I wrapped up the meal with Choryang Hyeongje Galbi's kimchi noodle soup (kimchi kalguksu). The spicy yet refreshing broth with kimchi in it felt like it cleared my palate nicely after all that pork ribs. It was great to have a warm soup dish when finishing on just meat felt a little lacking, and it paired well with the marinated ribs too. If you find yourself craving a spicy, refreshing broth after eating meat, it's worth ordering the kimchi noodle soup. ## Worth it for pork ribs near Busan Station?
