Seasoned raw crab and steamed skate: the free side dishes at Ilpum Chamsut Galbi

As soon as we sat down and ordered the signature charcoal galbi, side dishes started filling the table one by one — the variety and quality are top notch!!!

Clean namul (seasoned vegetables) and salad were just the basics — there was also spicy-sweet, umami-packed seasoned crab and soft steamed skate that could hold their own against specialty restaurants, plus corn kernels and steamed egg!!!

None of the side dishes were over-seasoned, so my chopsticks kept moving even before the meat was on the grill haha. The side dishes alone were generous enough to finish a bowl of rice with~

How do the thick bone-in short ribs taste off the charcoal brazier?

A hot, glowing charcoal fire pot came out, along with thick bone-in galbi with tightly spaced score marks—

—all onto the grill!!

The heat was so strong that the meat's surface seared quickly, and the sweet-salty sauce along with the charcoal's smoky aroma soaked all the way into the meat.

The moment I cut off a bite-sized piece and put it in my mouth,

There was zero toughness or dryness — it was so tender it practically melted, soft enough to chew with your gums ㅠㅠ

And picking up the golden-brown bone to gnaw off the chewy meat by hand — any galbi fan absolutely cannot skip this part, it's the best delicacy haha.

Round two, with a fresh grill plate brought to the table

Into my mouth~ into my mouth~ ah.. this is seriously so good ㅠㅠ I'm definitely coming back to eat this again..!!
