Uijeongbu beef short rib restaurant, 250g raw galbi: Manpo Galbi

I went to Uijeongbu after a while! I stopped for a bite on my way to Uijeongbu Shinsegae Department Store, and my whole family was craving meat, so I went looking for a Uijeongbu meat restaurant — and found a clean, great-service spot!

Manpo Galbi is a galbi restaurant that gives you free naengmyeon (cold noodles). Charcoal-grilled galbi starts with the basics — fresh, firm meat paired with handmade marinade. We'll stick to doing the basics right. We make our own noodles and broth by hand. It takes more effort and time, but we decided it was worth it. In return for our customers' precious visits, we wanted to be a galbi restaurant that satisfies everyone with generous portions. From the side dishes to dessert, we've prepared everything generously so you can feel that warmth.

Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch is near Uijeongbu Station, so it's easy to reach by subway or by car. It looks perfect for a family group gathering, haha. I went with my parents.

Here's the entrance — ta-da! Let's park beside the restaurant and head in.

There's a lunch special sign posted, so if you come on a weekday lunch, you can get a really good-value, delicious meal.

Inside Manpo Galbi: seating and atmosphere

The staff greeted us kindly right when we walked in, so we settled into our seats comfortably.

The atmosphere felt clean! Not like a typical meat restaurant at all.

I called ahead and they had the table all set up for us~ Nice touch, haha.

What side dishes come with the galbi?

The basic side dishes came out right after ordering. Great quality, haha. The fried mushrooms and yukhoe (raw beef tartare) were especially delicious, and it was so generous! My parents were satisfied too.

Handmade marinated galbi, 250g for 16,000 won

Manpo Galbi's handmade marinated galbi came in a generous 250g portion. The sweet marinade soaked in deeply, and it burst with juice while melting softly. The kimchi is the kicker! It goes really well stir-fried, but my style was eating it raw without grilling, haha. Tangy, sour kimchi is the best~ I got a refill of kimchi.

Raw beef short ribs, 35,000 won: the dish to order

The raw beef short ribs also came in a 250g portion, and I highly recommend this. ✨✨Definitely order this✨✨ Even before grilling, the rich marbling stands out. Apparently it's the best cut from the flower ribs, and sure enough, it was fine-grained. It melted in my mouth, and I'm not exaggerating — it really tasted like milk, hahaha. Ah, how do I even explain this... anyway, I ate it in complete awe. This is the dish I promised myself I'd order again next time. My parents loved it too, hehe.

Look at that color 💖 Even just dipped in salt, it's amazing, seriously.

Chadol brisket doenjang jjigae, 4,000 won

The beef brisket doenjang jjigae had plenty of meat, and the broth was spicy and good.

Is the naengmyeon at the end really free?

Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch gives one free naengmyeon per person for dessert. The noodles were thin and tasty, and the broth was so refreshing it felt like it helped digestion! Apparently it's house-made noodles, and my parents loved it.
