Four diners booked a weekend 1:30 pm table at Manpo Garden and ordered six servings of handmade Korean pork galbi, chadol doenjang jjigae (brisket soybean paste stew) and paid add-ons of yukjeon (beef pancake, 6,000 won) and tasting yukhoe (beef tartare, 5,000 won), and the sweet-salty marinade and the side dishes were all worth finishing. The dessert naengmyeon (cold noodles) is free and good with leftover galbi, and the private rooms make Manpo Garden a solid pick for group dinners in Yangju. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 28-37 Godeok-ro 355beon-gil, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 - 22:00 - **Parking**: On-site parking lot - **Seating & reservations**: Groups welcome (private rooms), reservations accepted (including Naver Reservation) - **Handmade Korean pork galbi**: 19,000 won - **Hanwoo beef flame-grilled bulgogi**: 28,000 won - **Hanwoo beef sirloin++**: 42,000 won - **Pork belly / pork shoulder**: 18,000 won - **Pork rib finger / pork jowl**: 21,000 won - **Hanwoo beef yukhoe (beef tartare)**: 28,000 won - **Chadol doenjang sulbap (brisket soybean paste rice)**: 8,000 won - **Chadol doenjang jjigae (brisket soybean paste stew)**: 6,000 won - **Pudding-style steamed egg**: 3,000 won - **Bowl of rice**: 1,000 won - **Paid side add-ons**: Yukjeon (beef pancake) 6,000 won / tasting yukhoe 5,000 won - **Dessert**: Naengmyeon free, plus puffed rice snacks, ice cream and coffee - **Price reference**: ₩19,000 ≈ $14 · ₩6,000 ≈ $4.4 · ₩5,000 ≈ $3.7 (2026-09-16) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* Last weekend Yangju was hosting a nighttime tour event at the old government office site, so I grabbed lunch beforehand at Manpo Garden, a Yangju galbi restaurant known locally — here's my honest review!!! ## Where is Manpo Garden, and what are its hours and booking options? Manpo Garden is a galbi specialty restaurant at 28-37 Godeok-ro 355beon-gil, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, 1st floor, open daily from 11:00 to 22:00. There's a full parking lot and a private room for groups, and Naver Reservation is available too. - 📍 Address: 28-37 Godeok-ro 355beon-gil, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, 1st floor, South Korea - ⏰ Hours: Daily 11:00 - 22:00 - 🅿️ Full parking lot - ✔️ Groups welcome (private room available), reservations possible (including Naver Reservation) ![Exterior of Manpo Garden building in Yangju](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-01-177hn-900.webp) Manpo Garden, this Yangju galbi restaurant, has a pretty upscale look even from the outside haha. There's an NH Nonghyup bank right next door too haha. ![Spacious and clean main hall inside Manpo Garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-02-19yqa-900.webp) ![Private group seating room at Manpo Garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-03-1z0d8-900.webp) ![Table layout inside Manpo Garden's private group room](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-04-18k9q-900.webp) ## Inside Manpo Garden at 1:30 pm on a weekend, and the group rooms Just like the exterior, the inside was huge and spotless. We visited around 1:30pm on a weekend and it was packed..! Luckily we had a reservation so we got seated right away! As you can see from the two photos below, there's a private room, which makes it perfect for Yangju gatherings or work dinners, right? Points for looking classy from the start haha. They also do takeout. One thing I thought was really thoughtful — they had ice cups ready. They said we could use the cups even for water or other drinks, not just coffee, so that was convenient haha. ![Rice puffs, coffee, and ice cups at the Manpo Garden dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-05-vfjoa-900.webp) Manpo Garden, this Yangju galbi restaurant, has dessert fully sorted out too — rice puffs, ice cream, and coffee are all set up so you can make a puff-cream sundae haha. ## Manpo Garden menu prices and what four of us ordered Manpo Garden's handmade pork galbi is ₩19,000 and the chadol doenjang jjigae is ₩6,000. The four of us ordered six servings of handmade pork galbi, chadol doenjang jjigae, rice, plus yukhoe and yukjeon add-ons. - Handmade pork galbi ₩19,000 - Hanwoo direct-fire bulgogi ₩28,000 - Hanwoo sirloin++ ₩42,000 - Pork belly, pork neck ₩18,000 - Gabri, pork jowl ₩21,000 - Hanwoo yukhoe ₩28,000 - Chadol doenjang sulbap ₩8,000 - Chadol doenjang jjigae ₩6,000 - Pudding steamed egg ₩3,000 - Rice ₩1,000 Order summary — handmade pork galbi x6 servings / chadol doenjang jjigae / rice / yukhoe & yukjeon add-ons ![Basic table setup at Manpo Garden with tasting yukhoe and yukjeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-06-srtm5-900.webp) ## The set table at Manpo Garden, with tasting yukhoe and yukjeon Manpo Garden, this Yangju galbi restaurant, has a really tidy and tasty basic table setup — especially the tasting portions of yukhoe and yukjeon, one per person, which felt like a really nice touch! All the side dishes came out clean too, none of them were skippable! Oh, and yukjeon and yukhoe can both be ordered as paid extras! Let me first show you the whole table setup with the meat on it~ ![Full table setup at Manpo Garden with meat included](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-07-1qfdg-900.webp) ![Whole Manpo Garden table lined with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-08-15p0s-900.webp) ![Side angle of the full table setup at Manpo Garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-09-6xlt6-900.webp) ![Grill and side dishes arranged on the Manpo Garden table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-10-3d86q-900.webp) ## How does Manpo Garden's handmade Korean pork galbi taste? Here's the handmade pork galbi we ordered. Our first order was four servings, so this photo shows the four-serving portion! ![Four servings of raw handmade pork galbi at Manpo Garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-11-xdkln-900.webp) ![Handmade pork galbi grilling on the tabletop](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-12-k8o12-1200.webp) ![Marinated handmade galbi cooking at Manpo Garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-13-f0w84-900.webp) ![Close-up of fully grilled handmade pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-14-ot4tr-900.webp) Two of us aren't great at grilling meat so it got a little burnt, but even so it was really tender and the sweet-salty marinade balance was delicious. ![Plate combining grilled galbi and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-15-1hv7r-900.webp) ![Mu-saengchae side dish at Manpo Garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-16-blc9c-900.webp) ![Crunchy spicy pepper muchim side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-17-mcpbm-900.webp) ![Well-seasoned lettuce salad side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-18-1xsmp-900.webp) ![Assortment of various side dishes at Manpo Garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-19-huesk-900.webp) ## The best side dish on the Manpo Garden table As I mentioned earlier, at Manpo Garden, this Yangju galbi restaurant, every single side dish was worth eating? Especially the mu-saengchae (spicy radish salad), which was really delicious, and the spicy pepper muchim (seasoned peppers) was crunchy and great too. The lettuce salad had just the right seasoning! With so many side dishes, every bite felt like a new flavor, which made eating fun haha. ![Complimentary yukjeon and tasting yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-20-1z0dk-900.webp) ### What the yukjeon and yukhoe add-ons cost The yukjeon came out as a complimentary tasting portion and it was pretty tasty, and the yukhoe had a bit of a previously-frozen feel but was still fine. Both yukjeon and yukhoe can be ordered as separate add-ons. Yukjeon is ₩6,000 and tasting-size yukhoe is ₩5,000 — the yukjeon add-on portion is much bigger than the free tasting one, while the yukhoe add-on comes out the same size as the free tasting portion, which makes it a nice light option for ₩5,000! Of course, there's also a full ₩28,000 plate of yukhoe if you want more haha. ![Plate of the add-on yukjeon order](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-21-16usi-900.webp) ![Clay pot of chadol doenjang jjigae at Manpo Garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-22-p0cfn-900.webp) ## Is the chadol doenjang jjigae big enough for four to share? I thought the chadol doenjang jjigae seemed a bit pricey, but once it arrived I understood why haha. It wasn't a small clay pot — with four of us there, it was the right amount for everyone to share from one bowl. Personally I'd have liked it a bit spicier. ![Free bibim naengmyeon served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-23-1eu6y-900.webp) ![Free mul naengmyeon served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang-24-t0279-900.webp) ## Free dessert naengmyeon and the puffed-rice ice cream Manpo Garden, this Yangju galbi restaurant, gives you naengmyeon (cold noodles) for dessert, free of charge! I chose bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles) and the rest of my group went with mul naengmyeon (cold noodle soup). Honestly I'm not a huge naengmyeon fan and it was just so-so for my taste, but since it was free, I happily topped it with our leftover galbi haha. After the meal, we finished up with the rice-puff-and-ice-cream sundae for dessert before heading out ♥️ ## Is Manpo Garden a good spot for group dinners in Yangju? I think this is genuinely a great place for anyone looking for a Yangju group dinner or gathering spot! It seemed to get a lot of family visits, and with the private room, it would also be great for small celebrations!! ## Where it is - Manpo Garden (만포가든) - 28-37 Godeok-ro 355beon-gil, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, 1st floor, South Korea - 경기도 양주시 고덕로355번길 28-37 1층 - 37.8058284, 127.0817134 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%8C%ED%8F%AC%EA%B0%80%EB%93%A0/@37.8058284,127.0817134,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@hanam-riverside-spoon/yangju-galbi-manpo-garden-yukjeon-doenjang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
