Ansan Korean BBQ: unmarinated LA galbi, shiitake wasabi, Yangsimso
In short
Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch is a charcoal-grill beef and pork Korean BBQ restaurant on Danggok-ro in Gojan-dong, Danwon-gu, Ansan. The writer booked through Naver and ordered the 57,000-won set of LA galbi, yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) with unmarinated galbi. The highlights were the shiitake wasabi and raw pollack side dishes, grilling only the bone part of the LA galbi until well done, and a receipt review event that each diner can join. For two people who want good-value LA galbi, the set at Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch is a great fit.

Opening hours and parking at Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch
Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch is open daily from 11:00 to 22:30, and for parking you use the underground lot of the building itself. I went looking for a good BBQ place in Gojan-dong, and since there's a public parking lot right in front, I bet a lot of people get confused. Use the building's underground parking lot!!!!
LA galbi set contents and price
The LA galbi set at Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch comes with LA galbi (cross-cut beef short ribs), yukhoe and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) for ₩57,000. I went back and forth between beef and pork.. then thought, it's a beef place, so let's have beef, haha, and ordered the set.
I reserved on Naver beforehand, so there was no wait and we were shown to a table right away. As we ate, customers started filling up.. it seems to get busy at peak dinner time ♥
Which side dish was the best?
Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch brings out a lot of side dishes and sauces, and my favorites were the shiitake wasabi and the pollack kimchi!! The wasabi on the shiitake isn't too strong and it's super chewy .. 😍 The seasoned pollack (myeongtae-hoe muchim) is sooo tender.
Unmarinated, marinated or half-and-half LA galbi?
You can choose unmarinated, marinated or half-and-half LA galbi at Yangsimso, and we went with unmarinated ~~ I was surprised at how thick it came out.
The color is such a vivid red .. looks so appetizing. I thought the amount was just right for two people.
The trimming is super clean too, right?
Grilling the bone part of LA galbi so it's easy to eat
With LA galbi, just cook the bone part a bit longer and it becomes easy to eat. You might think taking the meat off the bone is a hassle, but nope ~!~!~!
Like this, if you crisp up just the bone part a little more, it's super easy and delicious to eat ~ ♥
Value and service at Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch
Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch is introduced as a place that nails both value and flavor, and I agree. Also, every time I go I notice the staff are really friendly. I always leave feeling good, and I think it would be great for a company dinner too.
The beef cooks up quickly and it's so tender, I just love it.
Is it enough for two? Yukhoe, naengmyeon and doenjang jjigae
I wondered whether the Yangsimso LA galbi set might be too small, but with the naengmyeon, the stew and the yukhoe, it was absolutely enough.
Yukhoe
Yangsimso's yukhoe is good enough that I'd happily order it on its own. It's tender and the seasoning isn't heavy, so it melts in your mouth, melts ..
Naengmyeon, ₩8,000
Yangsimso's naengmyeon (cold noodles) is ₩8,000 and the portion is definitely not small .. They give you vinegar and mustard in little packets, so it's very hygienic ~!
Doenjang jjigae
The doenjang jjigae in the set is packed with onion and zucchini, so the texture is great, and the broth is clean and refreshing, perfect over rice.
Receipt review event: one per person
Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch also runs a receipt review event, and it's not one per table, everyone in your group can join. After writing ours we got ice cream and iced tea. Be sure to join in when you visit! The ice cream is totally premium and delicious.
That's all for my story on the LA galbi at Yangsimso, a beef BBQ place in Gojan-dong, Ansan.
