## Charcoal ribs on the Balsan Station restaurant strip: Ihwajeong Galbi Myeongga

When you want a hearty, satisfying meat meal near the restaurant strip by Balsan Station, this is the place people head to: Ihwajeong Galbi Myeongga.

## How far from Balsan Station, and is there parking?

It's within easy walking distance of Balsan Station on subway Line 5, right at the entrance to the restaurant strip, so public transit access is excellent.

Parking is available either in front of the store or in the building, so arriving by car isn't a hassle either. (The parking lot is spacious!)

## A spacious hall and multiple private rooms

Step through the door and a wide, comfortable hall opens up. Good duct ventilation keeps the place free of the thick smoke you'd expect from a Korean BBQ restaurant, giving it a clean feel.

From standard 4-person tables to roomy group seating and separated partitioned seats, it's well set up for both large office dinners and bringing your parents along.

There are also several private rooms, which I'd recommend for family gatherings or club meetups.

## Ordering through the tableside kiosk

Calling staff and placing all orders is done through the kiosk at each table.

## The side dishes

The banchan (side dishes) come out fast right after ordering, and they're neat without being fussy.

A crisp fresh salad, spicy-tangy scallion salad, onion pickles and jangajji (pickled vegetables) that cut through the meat's fat, and cool dongchimi (radish water kimchi) fill out the table.

None of the seasoning is overpowering, so the flavor of the meat itself isn't lost.

## The signature marinated ribs and real charcoal

Signature marinated ribs: the closely spaced knife cuts let the restaurant's special sauce soak in evenly throughout. The marinade isn't overly sweet or salty — there's a gentle savory depth that goes down smoothly to the very last bite without getting tiresome.

Strong-burning real charcoal — since charcoal fire decides half of how meat tastes, they use real charcoal with steady, long-lasting heat that quickly sears the surface while keeping the inside juicy and moist.

## The marinated ribs + naengmyeon wrap combo

Wrapping a piece of marinated rib, still carrying a gentle charcoal aroma, with the spicy-sweet naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) is a combo that never fails.

Layer a thick piece of ribs on lettuce and perilla leaves, top with garlic dipped in ssamjang (dipping sauce) and scallion salad, and take a full bite — you really get the rich juiciness and texture.

## The finish: pear sherbet

For dessert at the end, pear sherbet comes out — it's true to the fruit's natural flavor, not too sweet, and honestly really good.
