It also happens to be a place full of old memories for me~ ![Nocheongol Bupyeong Main Branch, full of old memories](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-03-hig89-900.webp) ![Nocheongol Bupyeong Main Branch, full of old memories](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-04-e5lxi-840.webp) I had been coming here since high school, so it was even lovelier to be back! It closed for a few years in the middle, then reopened, and it is such a famous local favorite that practically everyone in the neighborhood knows it. Coming back after so long felt really special~ ![Waitlist registration information for Nocheongol Bupyeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-05-ndekg-848.webp) As you would expect from a popular restaurant, you can join the waitlist through Catchtable. I made a reservation ahead of time because I was visiting with my mom~ ![Reserved visit to Nocheongol Bupyeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-06-1xk6p-900.webp) The interior was neatly kept, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal! ![Menu and prices at Nocheongol Bupyeong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-07-1ygr4-859.webp) *Nocheongol Bupyeong Main Branch menu prices* ## Pocheon-style Idong galbi and restaurant facilities Looking at the menu, everything looked delicious! Familiar flavors really are irresistible, haha. We ordered two servings of Pocheon-style Idong galbi~! ![Ordering Pocheon-style Idong galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-08-5o089-867.webp) ![Ordering Pocheon-style Idong galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-09-12f8h-879.webp) They also sold Heineken and Guinness draft beer, and the beer machine looked so interesting that I took a photo of it too~ ![Heineken and Guinness draft beer machine](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-10-1sm39-900.webp) The meat-aging refrigerator was placed where customers could see it right as they came and went~ ![Meat-aging refrigerator inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-11-1ipyi-877.webp) There is also a machine for mix coffee to drink after your meal~ ![Mix coffee machine for after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-12-7fd88-900.webp) They say charcoal-grilled meat pairs nicely with whisky too~ Since last month, they have been offering three whiskies: Maker's Mark, Bowmore 12 Year Old, and Balvenie DoubleWood 12. You can order by the glass and enjoy them neat or on the rocks, so it seems like a nice pairing for whisky beginners and enthusiasts alike! ![Charcoal-grilled meat and whisky pairing information](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-13-1vgz3-861.webp) I also spotted a UNICEF Crew plaque by the register. It seemed the owner supports good causes too, and that somehow made me happy! Eating at Nocheongol means joining in a good deed, right?! ![UNICEF Crew plaque](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-14-1b42l-812.webp) ![UNICEF Crew plaque](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-15-ujwgy-900.webp) ## Pocheon-style Idong galbi grilled by the staff At Nocheongol, they recommend enjoying their signature dishes like a course meal~ ![Signature menu course guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-16-16upt-900.webp) We started with Pocheon Idong galbi, which is marinated for 48 hours in a soy sauce-based seasoning with natural fruit. ![Pocheon Idong galbi aged for 48 hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-17-1df5h-966.webp) Even the galbi served with the banchan (Korean side dishes) looked so appetizing. ![Idong galbi served with Korean side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-18-1r198-1200.webp) The staff member grilled the galbi so beautifully that I could feel the craft in every moment I watched~ The care in those hands was so obvious that my mom said she wanted to leave a tip!! The grilling service at Nocheongol Bupyeong Main Branch was truly top-notch. ![Galbi grilled by a staff member](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-19-go93s-861.webp) They placed each perfectly cooked piece onto our plates. Saying, “Thank you for the meal,” I tried the first bite just as it was, without anything alongside it! The seasoning was not overly sweet and blended beautifully with the meat. I thought, ah, there really is a reason this Bupyeong meat restaurant has been loved for so long! ![A perfectly cooked piece of Idong galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-20-1idli-900.webp) ![A perfectly cooked piece of Idong galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-21-wbud6-665.webp) I was curious about the green sauce, so I tried it too~ It is made by mixing seaweed, wasabi, and flying fish roe. With the galbi, it gave the meat a different character, and I found myself reaching for it again and again~ ![Seaweed, wasabi, and flying fish roe sauce for galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-22-1984b-900.webp) ![Nocheongol Bupyeong Main Branch near Bupyeong Market Station, where staff grill Idong galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-23-a23ii-716.webp) ## Finishing with pork galbi and doenjang jjigae We were thoroughly enjoying our two servings of Pocheon Idong galbi when my mom said she wanted to try the pork galbi too~ So we added pork galbi and ordered doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew)! The staff member cooked the pork galbi deliciously too, and it definitely had a charm distinct from the beef galbi. The tender pork was well infused with seasoning, and this was unbelievably delicious as well~! ![Seasoned pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs-24-1cb3q-873.webp) After the meat, doenjang jjigae and rice made for an even heartier finish~ The beef was delicious, the pork was delicious... My mom and I finished our meal so satisfied, saying we had done well to return to this truly local Bupyeong favorite after so long! If you are looking for a longtime favorite near Bupyeong Market Station, do stop by Nocheongol. The care of having the staff grill it for you made it taste even better. I hope this helps anyone looking for a comfortable Bupyeong meat restaurant to visit with their mom or family, like I was! We ate so well at this neighborhood living-room kind of place~! ## Where it is - Nocheongol Bupyeong Main Branch (노천골 부평본점) - 257-5 Bupyeong-ro, Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, South Korea (인천 부평구 부흥로 257-5) - 인천광역시 부평구 부흥로 257-5 - 37.4991182, 126.7201143 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%85%B8%EC%B2%9C%EA%B3%A8%20%EB%B6%80%ED%8F%89%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4991182,126.7201143,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-bar-rail/bupyeong-nocheongol-grilled-ribs/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
