Pungmu-dong pork rib house: 900g king ribs with parents, Galbigumteo

Foodie Dan's 813rd record is Galbigumteo Pungmu Station Branch (갈비굼터 풍무역점).

For the first time in a while I got off work and went out to dinner with Mom and Dad. Shall we check out Galbigumteo, a Pungmu-dong dinner spot in Gimpo?

Galbigumteo Pungmu Station Branch hours, location and parking

Galbigumteo Pungmu Station Branch is open daily 10:30–22:30 with no days off. It's across from Pungmu Wellaum Perfect City!

There's parking in front of the restaurant, and it looked like there's more space behind it too!

Weekday evening atmosphere at Galbigumteo

The restaurant is spacious, so even around 7 pm on a weekday there were still seats available.

Lots of families were eating out. Group seating looks possible too, so it seems like a decent company dinner spot in Pungmu-dong, Gimpo. Luckily the place is big, so there were still seats!

They'd opened up the big windows like this, so it was nice and cool~~

How to order at Galbigumteo, and the roulette event

You order on the tablet at each table, and you pay afterward. If you write a Naver receipt review, you can join the roulette event too.

• 1st prize: king beef ribs 300g
• 2nd prize: beef ribs 180g
• 3rd prize: mul naengmyeon or bibim naengmyeon
• 4th prize: steamed egg
• 5th prize: a drink

It's a no-lose roulette, so everybody join in, let's go!

Basic side dishes and the self-bar

The basic sides are onion, wrap vegetables, a three-kind set of pickles (jangajji), sarada (Korean-style salad), seasoned bean sprouts, green onion kimchi and a green salad. Quite a good spread for basic sides.

If you need more sides, use the self-bar! For anything the self-bar doesn't have, ask the staff and they'll refill it for you~~!

And the great thing about Galbigumteo is that doenjang stew (soybean paste stew) comes as standard! Exactly the doenjang stew flavor you expect at a BBQ place, so good~~

Gimpo Geumssal rice and self-bar squid jeotgal

The rice here is Gimpo Geumssal rice, made with Gimpo golden rice, and it's ₩2,000 a bowl!

My absolute favorite side, squid jeotgal (salted squid), is at the self-bar, no way~~!! Rice plus squid jeotgal is a guaranteed winner.

Domestic king pork ribs 300g: how many did three of us eat?

The three of us first ordered two servings of the domestic king pork ribs 300g, then added one more, for 900g total. One 300g serving comes as two big pieces like this.

You grill the meat yourself~! Pork ribs burn easily, so flip them often!

Nicely cooked pork ribs, yum. Marinated pork ribs really are the best.

Dipped in ssamjang (wrap sauce), and also with the soy-onion sauce~

I'm a health-conscious thirty-something.. so I eat my wraps properly too. The wrap vegetables are at the self-bar, so you can refill them!

Adding another king pork rib 300g

There are three of us, so one more king pork rib, haha

Same deal, just grill it well and eat!

900g of pork ribs for three people was definitely filling, haha

We gnawed on the bones too, hahaha. Watch your teeth!

Galbigumteo naengmyeon price and taste

Naengmyeon (cold noodles) is ₩9,000 as a meal and ₩7,900 as a side. We had mul naengmyeon (in broth) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed) as sides, and the price difference is tiny, huh?

I have a habit of always finishing pork ribs with naengmyeon,, haha

They give you vinegar and mustard, so season it yourself. It's chik (arrowroot) naengmyeon, so the noodles can be a teeeny bit chewy. The mul naengmyeon broth was refreshing and the bibim sauce was tasty too!

Galbigumteo pros and cons

• 👍 Generous portions and good value
• 👍 Doenjang stew comes as standard!
• 👎 ₩7,900 for after-meal naengmyeon feels a little pricey ㅠ

Tips for visiting Galbigumteo

• Squid jeotgal isn't brought out at first; it's only at the self-bar! Be sure to have it with rice..!
• Write a Naver review to play the roulette (no losing spins~)
• Just park in front of the restaurant

So Foodie Dan's score is 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 (3.5 out of 5)
