Gimhae BBQ restaurant with soy-sauce ramen and fried rice: Anmin Yulha

Today I want to confidently recommend a spot for anyone looking for a place for a family dinner or a work dinner — Anmin Yulha, where you can enjoy upscale vibes and quality meat without any hassle! 🥩✨

Anmin Yulha

Where Anmin Yulha is and when it opens

Anmin Yulha is located at 93-23 Yulha Cafe-gil, 1F, Gimhae-si, Gyeongnam, and is open daily from 16:30 to 23:00. Last order is at 21:30, and they take group bookings and Naver reservations, with parking available in front.

The staff grilled the meat for us the whole time, so we could eat comfortably, and the clean interior made me think this would be great for family gatherings as well as work dinners 😊 Now let's get into the honest review! 🙌

Is there a wait on weeknights? Why reservations matter at Anmin Yulha

I visited Anmin Yulha around 7:30pm on a weekday evening, and there were already two parties waiting! Luckily we'd made a reservation, so we got seated right away 😊 They even had covers on the coat hangers so your outerwear doesn't end up smelling like meat — nice touch!

I also spotted a variety of highballs on the menu! I don't drink, but I'm posting this for reference haha. They even had non-alcoholic options, might have to try one next time 😀

This was the table setting waiting for us after our reservation! Apparently I was their 43,448th customer haha. Little details like this are kind of fun.

Side dishes and the free pork skin review event

The side dishes came out neatly arranged! There was a little explanation card next to the table telling you what each side dish and sauce was, which I appreciated haha. Personally I love well-fermented green onion kimchi and pickled onions, and they were right there, so I made sure to dig in properly today ^^

They're also running a review event where you get free pork skin — how could I resist? We were too hungry to participate this time, but definitely remember to join in! 😊

The half-pig set, 450g: enough for two

We ordered Anmin Yulha's half-pig set! It comes with pork neck, pork belly, and pork skin, so you get to try a variety of cuts, and 450g seemed like the perfect amount for two — ordered right away!!!

The staff grilled everything to a nice golden brown, which made things so easy!! And the ventilation was so good it sucked up all the smoke — I really don't think our clothes would end up smelling like meat haha 👍👍

My meat, slowly turning golden brown... 💕

The way they carefully stacked it up..! It was arranged so beautifully my mouth started watering haha, come to me already~~~ They even lit the brazier for us!! So it stayed warm until the very end! These small touches really make the experience! 👍

Can you see how gorgeous this meat looks!!!

They dipped the nicely grilled green onions into a fish sauce-based sauce for us! And for the chewy pork neck (?), they put it on our individual plates and told us to try it with salt first~! The texture was chewy like pork jowl but the lean part was tender — seriously so good!!!!

Dipping in salt! Wrapping in lettuce! T_T We both munched away, comforting each other after a tough week. We both worked so hard... Hyeok-jjang worked harder honestly... When will this long-distance couple life end, sob. Let's wrap up all our sad feelings in lettuce and eat them too!!!!!

How tender is the grilled pork skin?

I actually don't really like pork skin, but Anmin Yulha's pork skin was so tender and really delicious! Other places tend to be tough and chewy, but this one was genuinely soft~ haha 👍👍

Ramen at a BBQ restaurant: Mashitte soy-sauce ramen

Interestingly, Anmin Yulha also serves ramen? We were curious so we ordered the Mashitte soyu ramen!

Hyeok-jjang served me some ramen~~ The flavor was more of a clean soy sauce (soyu) base rather than tonkotsu-style. If you're full of meat but not really feeling a stew, this ramen would be fresh and satisfying!

White fried rice loaded with cheese

Why does Anmin Yulha have so many intriguing menu items..? haha Couldn't resist my curiosity and ordered the white fried rice!!! I already love fried rice😚 and wondered if this would be more like risotto, so I gave it a try!

Look at that cheese pull!!! There was so much cheese packed in, I was so happy..🩷🩷

I even took a video of the cheese on the white fried rice.. There was a hint of cheongyang chili pepper too, so it never got too heavy by the end! haha

Hyeok-jjang has been working so hard adjusting to a new job, and Sun & Young's been busy with Chuseok events — go go both of us... TT A moment to appreciate having each other!!! When your mood is low, head straight for the meat~~~!!!

Who should book a table at Anmin Yulha

That was our delicious meal at Anmin Yulha! 🥰 The staff grilled everything for us from start to finish so it was so easy to eat, and the meat quality was great — I get why there's a wait even on a weekday evening 😊
