A family of four ordered 4 servings of Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi, added 4 more servings of Seokok Heukjang marinated pork ribs, and finished with a ₩3,000 kimchi stew. The kids preferred the marinated ribs and the parents preferred the unmarinated ones, and the verdict at Seokok Galbi was that both were delicious. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 499-9 Jwadong-sunhwan-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan - **Hours**: 16:00–23:00 (last order 22:00); Saturday and Sunday 11:30–23:00 - **What we ordered**: Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi (4 servings), Seokok Heukjang pork ribs (4 servings), kimchi stew, steamed rice - **Kimchi stew price**: ₩3,000 - **Main menu**: Built around two cuts: Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi and Seokok Heukjang pork ribs - **Price reference**: ₩3,000 ≈ $2.2 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ![Pork rib table setting at Seokok Galbi in Jwa-dong, Haeundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-01-a5la6-1200.webp) When you travel to Busan, half the fun is hunting down good food, right? Our family tried all sorts of things on this trip, and honestly, at a few places we were a little disappointed by the service. ![Seokok Galbi storefront visited during a Busan trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-02-1vip0-966.webp) But this time we got both real service and delicious food, and it ended up being the most memorable spot of the whole trip. That was Seokok Galbi (석옥갈비). ![Exterior of Seokok Galbi, a Haeundae restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-03-123mk-966.webp) After the first visit I thought, this place is really solid — and personally, even though tourists probably come here too, it felt more like a Haeundae restaurant that locals in Busan actually frequent. ![Interior atmosphere of Seokok Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-04-1pr43-966.webp) ## First impressions of Seokok Galbi in Haeundae Above all, the atmosphere was different from the moment we stepped inside. Back when we went to the Hanam Pig House flagship location, the staff's energetic greetings and proactive service stood out — Seokok Galbi had a similar feel. The moment we walked in, they greeted us brightly and led us straight to a table; the whole staff just had great energy. When you're traveling, this kind of small kindness completely changes your mood. Our family got to start the meal in a good mood right from the entrance. Sitting down and looking around, something interesting caught my eye too — stacks of salt sacks piled up whole around the tables. At first I wondered what they were, but it ended up feeling like part of Seokok Galbi's own signature atmosphere. ![Sacks of salt stacked around the tables inside Seokok Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-05-z70sg-966.webp) ## What is on the menu at Seokok Galbi? The main menu at Seokok Galbi was simpler than I expected. ![Menu board at Seokok Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-06-1ogl4-966.webp) It centers on two items — Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi and Seokok Heukjang Pork Ribs — which actually made choosing easier since the menu wasn't complicated. ![Menu listing for Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi and Heukjang Pork Ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-07-15xq4-966.webp) We started by ordering 4 servings of Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi along with the minsaeng kimchi stew. ![Knife-scored Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi, 4 servings of raw ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-08-14lax-m-966.webp) ### What does the name Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi mean? The name itself made me curious. Apparently the "2125 Jangin Galbi" name has a special meaning — the meat is finished with 2,125 knife cuts. After hearing that explanation, when the meat arrived I ended up looking at it more carefully. Sure enough, the cuts were packed in so densely that it clearly looked different from ordinary raw pork ribs. The color of the meat was great too — just looking at it made me want to grill it right away. Once it hit the hot grill and we tried it, the first bite already felt great. The meat was much softer than expected, and the moment we bit in, the juices spread through the mouth with a rich, savory flavor. ![Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi grilling on the tabletop](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-09-1ivbi-966.webp) Probably thanks to the knife cuts, it wasn't tough at all, so even the kids ate it really well. Eating it together with the scallion salad and various side dishes and vegetables gave it a different flavor each time. Our family likes pairing meat with these sides in different combinations, and before we knew it, the 4 servings had disappeared in no time. ### Steamed rice, and the sweet corn pot rice we missed And in our family, we can never skip rice when eating meat. Haha. ![A glossy bowl of steamed rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-10-9fwzj-966.webp) We ordered a bowl of rice, and just looking at it, the shine was really good. Tasting it, the rice itself seemed to be quality — it tasted really good too. Honestly, that day we really wanted to try Seokok Galbi's signature summer hot-pot rice, the sweet corn rice. But with the kids there, taking on one more dish felt like too much, so we ended up not ordering it — and I've been a little sorry about that ever since we got home. ![Sign for Seokok Galbi's signature sweet corn hot-pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-11-1fjnj-966.webp) Next time, if I get the chance, I really want to try this hot-pot rice. ![Table set with grilled meat and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-12-1f9lq-966.webp) ## Adding 4 servings of Seokok Heukjang pork ribs: how the kids reacted After thoroughly enjoying the 4 servings of plain ribs, we ended up adding 4 more servings of Seokok Heukjang Pork Ribs. ![Knife-scored Seokok Heukjang Pork Ribs, marinated ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-13-12qko-966.webp) This time it was the marinated ribs, and these too had dense knife cuts running through the meat. It's said to be ribs aged in a secret "heukjang" sauce, and contrary to what I'd worried, the seasoning wasn't overly strong or sweet, which I liked. The kids ate the marinated ribs so well. ![Heukjang Pork Ribs cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-14-nxhqi-966.webp) My husband and I personally liked the first Seokok 2125 Jangin Galbi a bit more, while the kids said the marinated ribs were tastier. ![A finished piece of grilled marinated pork rib](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-15-soz1j-966.webp) In the end, when we pooled our family opinions, the conclusion was very simple. Both were delicious! Hahaha. Coming all the way to Busan to eat meat as a family, with the kids eating well and us satisfied too — that was enough for us. ![Family meal of pork ribs laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-16-nvrlp-966.webp) ![Table set with grilled meat and side dishes at Seokok Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-17-1kqy8-966.webp) ## The ₩3,000 kimchi stew, with ramyeon noodles added And the minsaeng kimchi stew (민생김치찌개) we ordered alongside the meat was really fun too. From the moment it arrived, its look was a bit different from a regular kimchi stew. It came in a pot along with raw instant noodles, and the fillings — kimchi and minced raw meat — were really generous. ![Minsaeng kimchi stew served in a pot with raw instant noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-18-1y0hy-966.webp) But the price surprised us even more. It was ₩3,000. ![Price sign showing ₩3,000 for the minsaeng kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-19-t53ke-966.webp) These days it's hard to find a side dish at this price when eating out — we double-checked the price. Haha. ![Minsaeng kimchi stew simmered with instant noodles added](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-20-bu04v-966.webp) Even though we'd already eaten plenty of meat, adding the instant noodles into the kimchi stew still made us reach for more. It felt like they'd put just as much care into the side dishes as into the main menu. ![End of the meal with kimchi stew and grilled meat together](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-21-b7psx-966.webp) ## Why Seokok Galbi works for a meal with kids And honestly, the most memorable part of that day wasn't just the food. ![The busy dining hall at Seokok Galbi packed with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-22-19f63-966.webp) From the moment we walked in, sat down, and through the whole meal as the meat arrived, the staff's greetings and attentiveness kept coming. Even though the restaurant was busy, we felt carefully looked after, which let our family eat comfortably. ![A family eating together at a table in Seokok Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-23-1yuuu-966.webp) When traveling in Busan, good food matters, but finding a place with service and kindness this satisfying makes the memory of the trip even better. ![Overall view of the Seokok Galbi storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok-24-jvamm-966.webp) So this visit to Seokok Galbi will stick with our family not simply as a place with good meat, but as a Haeundae restaurant that was satisfying overall — service, kindness, atmosphere, and taste all together. Especially when traveling with kids, the atmosphere of a restaurant and how kind the staff are really matter. Feeling comfortable on that front made it even better for us. If we come back to Busan again, our family will probably head to Seokok Galbi once more. And that time, I definitely want to order the sweet corn hot-pot rice we missed out on this time. If you're looking to eat proper pork ribs with your family in Haeundae, Busan, Seokok Galbi was, for our family, a Haeundae restaurant memorable enough to stay satisfying long after. ## Seokok Galbi location and opening hours - Address: 499-9 Jwadong-sunhwan-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea (1st floor) - Hours: 16:00–23:00 (last order 22:00) - Weekends (Sat–Sun): 11:30–23:00 ## Where it is - Seokok Galbi (석옥갈비) - 499-9 Jwadong-sunhwan-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea (1st floor) - 부산광역시 해운대구 좌동순환로 499-9 1층 - 35.1651196, 129.1685099 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%9D%EC%98%A5%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84/@35.1651196,129.1685099,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jangsan-noon-chopstick/haeundae-pork-galbi-family-dinner-seokok/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
