We returned for the 11,000 won galbi sotbap lunch set and 16,000 won handmade marinated galbi, and loved the sweet smoky ribs with the hearty pot rice.

I was in Uijeongbu for the first time in a while that day, and Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch came to mind, so I went back. I had visited Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch a few times before, so seeing its big sign again felt familiar and welcoming. Since it had been so long, I was also curious whether the food would taste just as I remembered. ![Restaurant specializing in handmade charcoal-grilled galbi and Hamheung naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-03-nuy9k-900.webp) Manpo Galbi, a popular Uijeongbu spot, specializes in handmade charcoal-grilled galbi (marinated ribs) and Hamheung naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles). ## What are the parking and atmosphere like? There is a parking lot behind the restaurant, and nearby parking is available too, which is convenient. ![Manpo Galbi parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-04-1v1jb-900.webp) ![Parking information around Manpo Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-05-7xe7n-900.webp) Manpo Galbi offers free house-made naengmyeon. The galbi sotbap lunch set is nicely priced, too. ![Galbi sotbap lunch-special information](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-06-18bp6-900.webp) Inside, the space was roomy, with tables comfortably spaced apart and good smoke-extraction equipment at every table for grilling meat. ![Comfortably spaced tables in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-07-12c5k-900.webp) It also looked like a good place to visit when looking for a Uijeongbu meat restaurant for a family dinner or gathering. Manpo means to give abundantly, and the restaurant lives up to that meaning by serving guests generously. ![Manpo Galbi, meaning generous service](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-08-y5dyz-900.webp) There is a sotbap machine near the kitchen, so you can enjoy pot rice as well. ![Sotbap machine in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-09-r8igf-900.webp) ## Ordering the lunch special and handmade marinated galbi Since we visited at lunchtime this time, we decided to try the lunch special too. Available on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the ₩11,000 galbi sotbap set comes with cauldron-cooked rice containing galbi, doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew), and side dishes. But we could not come all the way to Manpo Galbi and simply skip the meat, haha. Along with the galbi sotbap lunch set, we ordered handmade marinated galbi. It was ₩16,000 for 250 g, and we ordered two portions. ![Lunch special and handmade marinated galbi order](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-10-180f8-900.webp) Various cups were set out at every table, which was handy. ![Various cups set out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-11-v3pjk-900.webp) After ordering, the table was set with side dishes that go well with meat, including ssam vegetables, japchae, salad, and pickles. I liked being able to have a little of so many different things. I also really liked that Manpo Galbi serves yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) among its complimentary side dishes. ![Side dishes with ssam vegetables and yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-12-b0peo-900.webp) The charcoal was excellent too. As the weather turns cooler, I find myself loving that warmth. ![Warm charcoal before grilling the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-13-o67qe-900.webp) ## Handmade marinated galbi with a smoky char A little later, our two portions of handmade marinated galbi arrived! ![Two portions of handmade marinated galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-14-34gl9-900.webp) Once we put the appetizingly marinated ribs on the grill, the sizzling sound as they cooked was just perfect. ![Marinated galbi cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-15-1n4sm-900.webp) Marinated galbi can burn easily over very high heat, so it needs to be turned well on both sides until nicely browned. Mr. Woolgogubnam took care of grilling it for us, of course. ![Handmade marinated galbi browning on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-16-1lt6x-900.webp) After tasting a piece of the perfectly cooked meat, I thought, once again, that we had done well to come back after so long. ![A perfectly cooked piece of marinated galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-17-3ktpq-900.webp) The meat had a gently sweet marinade, and the charcoal aroma made it delicious with rice or wrapped in lettuce and perilla leaves. This flavor is probably why I seek out charcoal-grilled rib restaurants whenever I am craving Uijeongbu pork galbi. ![Enjoying smoky marinated galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-18-p0oeb-900.webp) ## A lunch-special pot of rice loaded with galbi The galbi sotbap set we ordered alongside it was generous, too. ![Pot rice topped with galbi and egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-19-1z0pf-966.webp) The hot pot was filled with rice and plenty of bite-sized galbi, then topped in the middle with an egg yolk, scallions, and sesame seeds. It looked delicious from the start. I mixed it all together and took a big spoonful, then had it with warm doenjang-jjigae; it was everything I could want from a satisfying lunch. Grilling meat separately while having the pot rice made the meal feel even more abundant. The doenjang-jjigae was full of meat, too. ![Doenjang-jjigae filled with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-20-1tjkh-900.webp) ## Free house-made naengmyeon and coffee after the meal There was also a notice in front saying that house-made naengmyeon is served free. If you love ending a galbi meal in Uijeongbu with naengmyeon, it is worth noting. ![Notice about free house-made naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-21-1xnlj-900.webp) We were so full that, even though the naengmyeon was free, we did not think we could possibly eat it, so we did not order any. ![Free naengmyeon notice after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-22-n6qz5-900.webp) We even finished with a cup of coffee as a palate cleanser. After spending so much time only going around Yangju, it had been ages since our last visit to Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch. It was nice to return to a place we had visited before, and after delicious galbi and hearty pot rice, I felt again that we had made the right choice. ![Coffee as a palate cleanser after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-23-10r32-900.webp) Chuseok is coming up soon. Gift sets are on sale too, so keep that in mind if you are looking for tasty meat. ![Manpo Galbi gift-set sale information](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo-24-1jdzd-1200.webp) If you are looking for a restaurant near Uijeongbu Station, Uijeongbu City Hall, or Uijeongbu New Town—or a comfortable Uijeongbu meat restaurant to visit with family—I think it would be nice to enjoy handmade marinated galbi and the lunch special together at Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch. We had a wonderfully filling meal at a place we had not revisited in a long time. ## Where it is - Manpo Galbi Uijeongbu Main Branch (만포갈비 의정부본점) - 1F, 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-notes/uijeongbu-galbi-sotbap-lunch-manpo/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
