Busan Korean BBQ with donburi rice: Jirisan Kkul Tong Galbi

Today I visited this amazing-value galbi spot in Yangjeong and had a meal!!!!!!!!

Hours and parking

Open daily from 12:00 to 23:00. There is no designated parking, so use a nearby paid lot; there is a parking lot right beside the restaurant.

The inside was neat, with tables extending toward the back, so it looked suitable for group gatherings too!!!!!!!!

Jirisan Kkul Tong Galbi says it never uses dry imported pork neck or tough cuts from the first through fourth ribs. They say they select only tender meat from the fifth rib onward and pork belly fat!!!!!!!!

Side dishes and self-service bar

Once you order, they set out the basic side dishes!!!!!!!!! Everything came out so neatly!!!!!!!!!

There were soy-sauce onions, pickled radish wraps, water kimchi, shredded scallions, garlic, ssamjang, salt, and galbi sauce!!!!!!!!! The basic spread was so neat! Just what you need when eating meat!!!!!!!!

Use the self-service bar if you need more side dishes. It also has ssam (leaf wraps) and green-onion kimchi, which do not come with the basic sides!!!!!!!!

Six servings of honey-pot marinated galbi

Here are six servings of honey-pot marinated galbi! It was quite a lot. The value is seriously great!!!!!!!!! If you are looking for a great-value meat restaurant, this is the place.

We put the pork galbi on the grill. The quality of the meat looked so good. Make sure to turn it well so the marinade does not burn!!!!!!!!!

The meat was tender, so it cut easily!!!!!!!!! I cut it into bite-size pieces!!!!!!!!

The galbi was well soaked with marinade, so it was delicious even on its own. That sweet-and-salty flavor everyone will enjoy! There was no porky smell, and it was tender too!!!!!!!!! If you want even more savory depth, dip it in the sauce. But it may be salty if you dip too much!!!!!!!!

Donburi rice mixed with galbi

I ordered the donburi rice because I was curious! It had soy-sauce onions and seaweed on top, with mayonnaise inside too!!!!!!!! The staff member said it is delicious if you cut up some pork galbi, add it in, and mix it all together!!!!!!!!

How could I resist this~~~haha I mixed the rice and took a bite~ It was so delicious!!!!! It was nutty and salty inside, and immediately reminded me of a tuna-mayo rice ball!!!!!!!!!

Galbi tastes best when you gnaw it off the bone, right? You know this is the best part, right? The rib section was tender and nicely chewy too!!!!!!!!

We kept grilling so there would be no break in the flow of meat!!!!!!!!! The shine on the meat was no joke!!!!!!!!

It was great with shredded scallions too!!!!!!!!! I saw lots of other people ordering the green tea pork belly, so I should try that next time!!!!!!!!

We also ordered pot Jjapagetti

We also ordered the pot Jjapagetti. It had rice cakes and egg inside too! They really do Jjapagetti well!!!!!!!! It was so delicious. I saw lots of other people ordering stew, so I should order one next time too!!!!!!!!
