## In short

Gwangan-mok Gwangan Branch is an asado-grill Korean BBQ restaurant on Gwangnam-ro in Suyeong, Busan, a short walk from Gwangalli Beach. Arriving right at opening on a weekday, the writer ordered 'Only Gwangalli' — limited to 5 sets a day, priced at ₩49,000 for 260g pork neck, 130g special pork belly and 100g whole pork jowl with butter-grilled vegetables — and got free sanchae bibimbap (mountain-vegetable rice bowl) and 'mom's hand' doenjang stew with the 12:00–15:00 lunch set. A certified grilling master cooks every piece from start to finish, so nothing burns at the table.

## Inside Gwangan-mok: dining room and waiting seats

This is the outside of the restaurant, with a Catch Table waitlist kiosk right out front. It's a must-wait kind of place.. I remember visiting for dinner last time, putting my name on the Catch Table waitlist, and wandering around the neighborhood while I waited.

I'm not sure if the lunch set existed last time I came, but from 12:00 to 15:00 the lunch set comes with free bibimbap and 'mom's hand' doenjang stew (soybean paste stew)!! I was going to order them separately, but getting them included in the set felt like such a deal haha.

![Argentine-style asado grill placed at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-04-1hsk8-966.webp)

This huge grill you see at the entrance is where they pre-grill the meat first, and apparently it's a traditional Argentine-style 'asado grill'!! I asked how they grill the meat, and instead of blasting it with intense heat, they use gentle charcoal smoke to infuse it deeply — so you get that campfire smoky flavor right in the restaurant. (Might be TMI, but for anyone curious..)

Here's the interior — the photo on the right is the waiting area! You can wait indoors, cool in summer and warm in winter.

The bathroom is nice and clean too~~?

## What comes with the ₩49,000 'Only Gwangalli' set

![Menu listing showing the 'Only Gwangalli' limited set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-09-121t2-966.webp)

We ordered 'Only Gwangalli' + butter-grilled vegetables (260g pork neck + 130g special pork belly + 100g whole pork jowl) for ₩49,000 (limited to 5 sets a day). We did the weekday lunch opening run just for this, so of course we had to try the limited menu.. And the best part is, thanks to the lunch menu I mentioned, the bibimbap and doenjang stew come free!!!

![Side dishes served with Gijang anchovy salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-10-48l06-966.webp)

The side dishes come out first, and the salt is apparently made from Gijang anchovies — not salty at all, just full of umami, so I kept dipping my chopsticks straight into it lol.

All the side dishes are refillable at the self-serve bar — and there's even a dust cover over them!!

## Who grills the pork at your table?

![Pork neck and special pork belly grilling on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-14-1dk8w-m-966.webp)

They grill our meat for us..!! You know how at BBQ places someone always ends up too busy grilling to actually eat? Not a worry here at Gwangan-mok in Gwangalli! A staff member with an official grilling master certification grills everything from start to finish at exactly the right doneness!

![Close-up of the pre-grilled meat on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-16-kqed9-966.webp)

The meat finally arrived after its first pre-grilling. Feast with your eyes first~~ then they grill it a bit more at the table and tell you what to dip it in.

## Three ways to eat it: anchovy salt, chimichurri and basil wraps

![First bite of pork neck dipped in anchovy salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-17-1wrom-966.webp)

First bite: pork neck with anchovy salt. They said the pork neck was grilled slightly rare, and biting into it, the juices were absolutely fantastic ㅠㅠ I'm more of a pork-neck person than pork-belly person.. and paired with the anchovy salt, that's all that needs to be said!!

![Meat dipped in chimichurri sauce made with perilla leaf and angelica root](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-18-1txln-966.webp)

Second bite: Gwangan-mok's own signature 'chimichurri sauce'!! Made with perilla leaves and angelica root to suit Korean tastes, this sauce is seriously magic... It cuts right through the richness of the meat, and the subtle fragrance of the angelica root combined with the fresh perilla leaf blends beautifully with the meat — once you start dipping, you can't stop!!! (I dipped into this one the most lol)

![Meat on a basil leaf with chimichurri sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-19-1be6z-966.webp)

Third bite: meat wrapped in a basil leaf with the chimichurri sauce — women love basil, right..(that's me). The moment it hits your mouth, the fragrant, fresh scent of basil wafts up, and the sharp, clean umami of the chimichurri blends perfectly with the meat's juices..

![Wild greens bibimbap and 'mom's hand' doenjang stew from the lunch set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-20-15op0-966.webp)

## Lunch set bibimbap, doenjang stew and cold dongchimi noodles

While we were happily eating the meat with all sorts of side-dish combos, the lunch set arrived!! The 'mom's hand' doenjang stew had a savory soybean paste base with a hint of cheonggukjang (fermented soybean paste), so rich I kept spooning up the broth!! There was meat in it too. The wild greens bibimbap wasn't seasoned strongly at all — just mild and nutty — a perfect match with the stew!! Honestly, ordering a separate meal item when you're already eating BBQ can add up, so getting free bibimbap and stew like this is such great value..

![Cold dongchimi noodles with ice flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited/gwangan-pork-lunch-set-limited-21-d14rx-966.webp)

Even though I was already stuffed, I couldn't skip the cold dongchimi noodles.. so that was my last order!! The broth, floating with tiny ice flakes, was so refreshingly sweet-and-tangy and cold that it cleaned my palate completely and gave the meal a perfect finish!! So happy~~~~

## Final verdict: would I go back to Gwangan-mok?

Thanks to the pre-grilling, the meat's juicy flavor was incredible, and having it grilled with such care from start to finish made the whole meal so easy to enjoy.. The lunch set especially was a total win!! Early risers, this lunch set is for you!! The combo of savory doenjang stew and mild wild greens bibimbap is a certified great value too.

And Gwangan-mok's signature chimichurri sauce — anyone who's tried it knows😂 how perfectly it pairs with the meat. Gwangan-mok is the place that'll come to mind whenever I think 'Gwangalli BBQ'!! Next time I want to visit in the evening and enjoy the nighttime sea view too. Add this to your Gwangalli date course and enjoy some great meat♥️

If you want to enjoy delicious meat without any hassle, want an expert to grill it perfectly so you never worry about burning it, need a spot for a family meal out, are looking for a great-value BBQ restaurant in Gwangalli, or want to try that unique, upscale combo of basil leaves and chimichurri sauce — come to Gwangan-mok, the number-one BBQ restaurant in Gwangalli!!
