Ansan BBQ platter with Malden salt and Jeju myeoljeot: Gogit-ri 88

🥩 ANSAN Gogit-ri 88beonji Ansan Gojan Branch

Last week my husband and I visited Gogit-ri 88beonji, famous for its outdoor patio seating in Gojan-dong, Ansan. This spot specializes in grade-1 domestic Korean pork, pre-grilled directly over charcoal, so you get to taste the meat's true flavor. Today I'm sharing our visit to Gogit-ri 88beonji, a great pork BBQ restaurant in Gojan-dong, Ansan for enjoying tasty pork in an outdoor atmosphere.

Where is Gogit-ri 88beonji in Ansan, and where do you park?

This Gojan-dong pork belly favorite is located in the Olive Young alley on Munhwagwangjang-geori, in the Hosu-dong/Gojan-dong area, about 3 minutes by car from Gojan Station and Jungang Station — convenient if you're already searching for restaurants near Gojan Station or Jungang Station.

🅿️ Parking info — parking is available at Deoksan Parking Tower, with 2 hours free, which made it easy to visit by car.

Inside the restaurant and the outdoor tables

The interior of Gogit-ri 88beonji is clean and spacious overall, so it looked like a good spot for group gatherings or company dinners. I also liked that folding doors span the front, giving it an open feel and good ventilation.

There's also a generously sized outdoor patio area in front of the restaurant, so if you're looking for outdoor seating in Gojan-dong, it's worth visiting on a nice day to enjoy that patio atmosphere!

Gogit-ri 88beonji menu and prices

Once seated, we looked over the menu at this Gojan-dong pork belly favorite. It offers various à la carte cuts of grade-1 domestic Korean pork — neck, belly, gabrisal, hangjeongsal (pork jowl) — as well as several set menus, great for ordering when you want to try multiple cuts at once.

Note that ordering an assorted set gets you unlimited makgeolli — worth keeping in mind when you order!

Banchan, dipping sauces and the charcoal pre-sear

Once we ordered, a neat spread of basic side dishes and various dipping sauces arrived, all of which paired well with the pork, so we could enjoy lots of different combinations.

When you order meat, the owner pre-grills it directly over 600°C+ charcoal — thanks to that high heat, we got to properly taste pork packed with smoky char flavor!

Assorted A Set (500g) for 45,000 won

What we ordered this time was the Gogit-ri Assorted A Set, made up of three cuts: pork belly, pork neck, and gabrisal.

First, following the owner's recommendation, we dipped the meat in Malden salt, famous as the salt of the British royal family — the juices stayed moist and the pork's natural flavor came through even more,

and next we tried it with pollack roe, and also dipped it in Jeju-style myeoljeot (fermented anchovy sauce) — the flavor shifted slightly depending on the sauce or side dish, which made it fun to enjoy in different ways.

The meat definitely had a rich, subtle smoky flavor thanks to the charcoal pre-grilling,

and the more we ate, the more juices flowed out, giving it a nutty, savory taste with every bite.

Wrapped in perilla leaves or in lettuce, it felt totally different from eating the meat alone — good this way, good that way too 👍

Unlimited makgeolli and the kimchi jjigae finish

And the makgeolli that comes free-flowing with the assorted set was also a treat — not having to order drinks separately made the whole meal feel even better value.

The kimchi jjigae we ordered as a side is another must-try — the portion was generous and packed with pork, so it felt hearty and filling,

and adding a bowl of rice on top made for a satisfying finish to the meal!

Is Gogit-ri 88beonji worth it? Final verdict

💭 Gogit-ri 88beonji, a favorite pork BBQ restaurant in Gojan-dong, Ansan, let us taste grade-1 domestic Korean pork pre-grilled over charcoal, packed with smoky flavor. Between the assorted sets, the unlimited makgeolli, and the hearty kimchi jjigae side, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good-value BBQ spot. The outdoor patio seating is especially spacious, so if you're after outdoor dining in Gojan-dong, this is worth a visit!
