While searching for somewhere everyone could sit and eat at ease, I visited Manpo Garden in Yangju. We ordered only pork belly and handmade Korean pork galbi, but yukhoe (seasoned raw beef) and yukjeon (pan-fried battered beef) came as part of the basic spread, and we could enjoy Hamheung naengmyeon as a complimentary dish too. It was a generous meal at this Yangju favorite and a solid spot for a family gathering. ![Manpo Garden in Yangju information guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-02-1cm2t-900.webp) ## Manpo Garden information Manpo Garden is a 10-minute drive from Nari Park and Lakewood CC, making it easy to stop by after an outing. It is also just an 8-minute drive from Yangju's Okjeong New Town, so it is convenient for family gatherings. There are large parking lots both in front of and behind the building, with plenty of spaces even when many cars arrive. It was convenient with no parking worries, and easy to enter with children or older family members. ![Manpo Garden's spacious parking area](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-03-cb9o4-900.webp) ## A spacious, comfortable dining room Inside, a broad open hall with high ceilings unfolded before us. Partitions at each booth and pampas-grass decorations divide the space, so we could sit comfortably without worrying about neighboring tables. With plenty of seating, it felt like a great Yangju pork-belly spot for family gatherings. ![Spacious hall with partitions and pampas-grass decorations](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-04-nlmlt-900.webp) There were also private rooms farther inside, softly lit for a calm atmosphere. They were arranged with large tables and plenty of chairs for relaxed get-togethers, and Naver reservations are available, so it is convenient to reserve a spot ahead of time. A display case of meat stood by the entrance. From pork belly to Korean beef, cuts were packaged and displayed by type, so we could look them over and pick what we wanted. You can choose meat from the display case or order from a tablet at your table, whichever is more comfortable. ![Meat display case and ordering area](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-05-xi43r-900.webp) ## Charcoal-grill menu and tablet ordering Manpo Garden in Yangju has a wide range of charcoal-grilled choices, from Korean beef with a livestock-cooperative history and handmade Korean pork galbi made with 100% real rib meat, to Korean beef direct-flame bulgogi and pork belly. ![Manpo Garden charcoal-grill menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-06-7d2fh-900.webp) The tablet menu included detailed descriptions alongside photos, so we could check everything carefully before ordering. ![Tablet menu ordering screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-07-1pdgl-900.webp) On top of that, ordering meat lets you try Hamheung naengmyeon for free, making this a good-value Yangju galbi restaurant with a satisfying lineup. ![Generous basic side-dish spread around a charcoal brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-08-922sf-900.webp) ## A generous spread of side dishes Once we had ordered, the table was filled with side dishes. With a charcoal brazier in the middle, plates of lettuce, salad, yukjeon, and yukhoe surrounded it, while brass bowls held assorted banchan (Korean side dishes). Just looking at the neatly arranged table made it feel like we had been served a plentiful feast. ![A variety of Korean side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-09-gh7ui-900.webp) The banchan included potato salad, seasoned shredded radish, braised burdock root, seasoned peppers, and garlic scapes in separate compartments. It was fun tasting each variety. ![Complimentary yukhoe with sesame seeds and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-10-4w8gr-900.webp) Yukhoe came as part of the basic spread too: finely sliced beef topped with sesame seeds and served with vegetables. Even though it was included, it was fresh, nutty, and substantial. ![Golden yukjeon served as a complimentary dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-11-179fl-900.webp) The yukhoe alone was generous, and golden yukjeon arrived as well—something the adults would surely enjoy at Manpo Garden in Yangju. It had an egg coating but was not greasy, so it was delicious without feeling heavy. ![Pork belly and handmade galbi meal scene](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-12-jcc14-900.webp) ## Pork belly and handmade galbi First, two servings of pork belly arrived. The meat was neatly arranged on a wooden board, with lean meat and fat evenly marbled in layers. It was thickly cut too, and looked like Yangju pork belly with a great bite. ![Pork belly arranged on a wooden board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-13-ykcpg-900.webp) As soon as the pork belly hit the grill, the fat sizzled over the charcoal, releasing a savory aroma as it turned golden. ![Pork belly grilling over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-14-1cdqg-900.webp) We moved the crisp grilled meat onto a wire rack to drain off the fat and keep it gently warm, so it stayed delicious to the last bite. ![Grilled pork belly on a wire rack](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-15-1in9l-900.webp) This Yangju pork belly was crisp outside and thick and juicy within, giving it a wonderful chew. Grilling it over charcoal added a smoky aroma that deepened the flavor with every bite. ![Smoky charcoal-grilled pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-16-179u3-900.webp) Paired with the seasoned lettuce salad, its pleasantly spicy flavor made the meal feel fresh and clean. ![Pork belly with seasoned lettuce salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-17-12f8i-900.webp) We could also pick up ssam (lettuce wraps) from the self-service corner, so I brought back lettuce and wrapped the meat with pickled onions. The crisp lettuce and tangy onions cut through the richness, making it taste more refreshing than eating the meat alone. ![Ssam wraps with lettuce and pickled onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-18-2l667-900.webp) Next, we added the handmade Korean pork galbi. Although it was one serving, the portion was generous, and its fruit-based marinade was mild rather than overpowering, so I was looking forward to it even before it hit the grill. They changed the grill for the galbi, allowing it to take on a rich charcoal aroma. The marinade sizzled over the red-hot coals, a sweet fragrance spread through the air, and the surface slowly browned like caramel. ![Handmade Korean pork galbi cooking over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-19-9mkim-900.webp) The heat was strong, giving it a deep fire-grilled flavor and crisp, lightly charred edges. It was a Yangju galbi restaurant where the meat looked tempting even before the first bite. ![Golden marinated galbi with a fire-grilled flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-20-1ihdg-900.webp) The glossy marinade coated the surface, but it was not overly sweet. Its lightly seasoned flavor let the meat stand out, making it easy to eat without being overwhelming. ![Glossy, lightly seasoned handmade galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-21-10l1u-900.webp) With pickled onions, the tangy vegetables and lightly sweet marinade came together and made the galbi's rich flavor feel even fresher. ![Galbi eaten with pickled onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-22-s4rdq-900.webp) ## Complimentary Hamheung naengmyeon too Since house-made Hamheung naengmyeon is free with meat, we ordered one bowl each of mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in broth) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles). Even as a complimentary item, they arrived carefully prepared in brass bowls, topped with seasoning sauce, cucumber, and radish. ![Hamheung naengmyeon in a brass bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-23-14h38-900.webp) Wrapping the remaining galbi with the chewy noodles and refreshing broth made for a clean, satisfying finish. ## Manpo Garden is generous through dessert There was a dessert corner at the front. It had everything from coffee to ice cream for both children and adults, and the coffee could be poured into cups of ice for a cool iced drink—just right for ending a meal on a hot day. ![Ice cream dessert on puffed rice crackers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden-24-ynpn4-900.webp) Ice cream could be placed on ppeongtwigi (puffed rice cracker) and eaten like a snack, and its sweetness would especially appeal to children. From the meal through dessert, everything was thoughtfully covered, making it a hearty choice for a family gathering. At Manpo Garden, we filled up on charcoal-grilled pork belly and galbi, then enjoyed the generous basic yukhoe and yukjeon spread, plus naengmyeon. With a spacious dining room, easy parking, and private rooms, it is a Yangju restaurant I would like to revisit for a family gathering. ## Where it is - Manpo Garden (만포가든) - 28-37 Godeok-ro 355beon-gil, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, 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/@island-coffee-detours/yangju-samgyeopsal-ssambap-manpogarden/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
