I tried charcoal-grilled handmade LA galbi and marinated galbi with yukhoe, chadol doenjang-jjigae, and free house-made Hamheung naengmyeon. Verdict: a well-rounded choice for a family meal or gathering. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–23:00 - **Parking**: Free parking available in front of and beside the restaurant - **Lunch menu**: Galbi sotbap set meal available - **Naengmyeon**: Free house-made Hamheung naengmyeon; choose mul-naengmyeon or bibim-naengmyeon *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Galbi meal spread at Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-01-1m317-966.webp) Lately, I’ve been craving meat for some reason. I was especially in the mood for galbi with that sweet-and-salty marinade soaked in, so I looked around and found a place to visit. > Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch ![Exterior of Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch in Uijeongbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-02-1doem-900.webp) It is in Uijeongbu’s newer downtown area and close to Uijeongbu Station, so it was easy enough to get to. Once I tried it, I found that the overall spread was good—not just the meat, but everything from the banchan (side dishes) to the naengmyeon! ## A clean, spacious restaurant ![Spacious interior of Manpo Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-03-1dh1x-900.webp) A lot of barbecue places pack their tables tightly together, but this restaurant was more spacious than I expected. ![Restaurant interior with a space for groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-04-3k6o9-900.webp) There was also a space farther inside for groups, so it looked like a nice option for a family meal or gathering. ## How can you choose your galbi? ![Manpo Galbi's variety of galbi menu options](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-05-h23ee-900.webp) True to its name, Manpo Galbi had a wide range of galbi options. There were handmade LA galbi, handmade marinated galbi, fresh galbi, marinated beef galbi, and Korean pork fresh galbi, among others, so you could choose according to your taste. ![Galbi menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-06-1bxik-900.webp) ![Lunch galbi sotbap set meal information](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-07-ngpeq-900.webp) They also sell a galbi sotbap (rice cooked in a stone pot) set meal at lunchtime, so it looked like a good place to visit for a meal without grilling the meat yourself. ## Why I liked the banchan from the start ![Varied basic side dishes served with galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-08-1g1as-900.webp) The banchan arrived before the meat, and there was quite a variety. What stood out most was that yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) came as one of the basic side dishes! ![Yukhoe served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-09-f1vdp-900.webp) ![Yukhoe and side dishes to accompany galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-10-1w6cv-900.webp) Along with the yukhoe, there were ssam vegetables and several side dishes, plus a variety of sauces to have with the meat, so it was easy to eat just the way I liked. ![Kimchi, garlic, and pickled onion accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-11-jpry4-900.webp) When I eat grilled meat, I like to wrap it with kimchi, garlic, and pickled onions too, and that combination went together really well. ## Galbi grilled over charcoal ### Handmade LA galbi and handmade marinated galbi ![Handmade LA galbi and handmade marinated galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-12-kz8m9-900.webp) ![Galbi ready for charcoal grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-13-bywei-900.webp) At last, the charcoal arrived and I put the meat on the grill. As the galbi began to sizzle over the coals, I was reminded that meat really should be grilled over charcoal. ![Marinated galbi cooking over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-14-168qz-900.webp) Since the galbi was marinated, it was important to keep turning it so it would not burn. The heat was fairly strong, so the meat cooked relatively quickly. ![Nicely browned grilled galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-15-y8k6y-900.webp) I cut the nicely browned meat into bite-size pieces and tried a piece. The marinade was not overly strong or too sweet; it had just the right sweet-and-salty balance, and the meat was tender rather than tough. ![Galbi cut into easy-to-eat pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-16-j5i8t-900.webp) Even the meat near the bone was not chewy, and it came off nicely, which I loved. When looking for pork galbi in Uijeongbu, the marinade matters, of course, but the texture matters too—and personally, I thought it went especially well with rice. ## Side dish: chadol doenjang-jjigae ![Chadol doenjang-jjigae side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-17-jorqa-900.webp) Meat alone felt a little incomplete, so I tried a side dish as well. ![Doenjang-jjigae with brisket and other ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-18-1x0n7-966.webp) The chadol doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew with thin-sliced beef brisket) had plenty of brisket and other ingredients in it. It had a lightly spicy kick, making it great with rice. ## You can’t skip naengmyeon with galbi ![Free house-made Hamheung naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-19-7hi5u-900.webp) And one of the things I liked most about Manpo Galbi! They offer free house-made Hamheung naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles in the Hamheung style). ![Choice of mul-naengmyeon or bibim-naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-20-bqtrq-900.webp) You can choose between mul-naengmyeon (cold noodles in broth) and bibim-naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles), which was perfect for refreshing my palate after the meat. ![Hamheung naengmyeon eaten as a dessert course](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-21-1fkyf-900.webp) The noodles also came in a size that was not too heavy for dessert, so they made a good finish after eating plenty of meat. ![Finishing dishes for a galbi meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo-22-ovedp-900.webp) After trying everything, I could see why this place is often introduced as a good restaurant in Uijeongbu. The meat itself was tasty, but I also liked the variety of items you could enjoy together, from the yukhoe served as a basic side dish and the many banchan to the chadol doenjang-jjigae and complimentary naengmyeon. The restaurant was especially spacious and the tables were reasonably far apart, so it also seemed like an easy choice for a family meal or gathering. ## Where it is - Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch (만포갈비 의정부본점) - 11 Beomgol-ro 145beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 의정부시 범골로145번길 11 1층 - 37.7364439, 127.0413141 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%8C%ED%8F%AC%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84%20%EC%9D%98%EC%A0%95%EB%B6%80%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.7364439,127.0413141,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@meal-margin-gyeonggi/uijeongbu-charcoal-ribs-naengmyeon-manpo/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
