Yulha, Gimhae pork BBQ with 5 handmade sauces: Godansu Gimhae Yulha

💬 One-line review — A new Korean BBQ spot in Yulha where you can enjoy trendy vibes and genuinely delicious meat! 🥩✨

Where is Godansu Gimhae Yulha, and is there parking?

Godansu Gimhae Yulha is a new restaurant located on the 1st floor of 100 Gwandong-ro, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. It's open 17:00–23:00 with last order at 22:00, and there's a designated parking lot right across from the restaurant.

I recently visited a brand-new Korean BBQ restaurant that just opened in Yulha!! Godansu Gimhae Yulha had opened less than 10 days ago, which made me even more curious 😆 What I loved most was that there's a designated parking lot right across from the restaurant! Having parking right there is so great 👍🏻

Does Godansu Gimhae Yulha even feel like a BBQ place? A date-friendly interior

The first thing I thought walking into Godansu Gimhae Yulha was, "Why is a BBQ restaurant this pretty…? lol" It has such a hip, clean, trendy vibe that it would work great for a friend hangout or as a date spot 🤭💕

I made a reservation through Naver, so the side dishes were already set up when I arrived haha

What we ordered at Godansu Gimhae Yulha and what it cost

Here's what I ordered ❣️

• Pork belly (130g) ₩13,000
• Pork jowl (100g) ₩14,000
• Bibim noodles ₩7,000
• White kimchi stew ₩6,000 (opening event)

The color of the meat looked so good...🤤 It clearly looked fresh, and I couldn't wait to grill it and eat lol

Staff grill the pork for you and set it on a brazier

Another thing I loved here!! The staff grill the meat for you 👏👏

They grill it to just the right doneness and then place it on a separate brazier so you can eat it slowly at your own pace — so convenient. No need to fuss over grilling, you just get to enjoy eating, which was really nice

The 5 handmade sauces, including refillable spinach basil pesto

Godansu Gimhae Yulha had a really wide range of sauces! Kelp salt, spinach basil pesto, hairtail fermented sauce with sancho pepper, sriracha sauce, salted squid, and more. I tried dipping the meat in the spinach basil pesto in particular, and I was surprised at how well it went together 😳💚 It was so good I ended up asking for a refill lol

The meat was so good I kept ordering more, haha. In the end I added an extra order of pork belly lol. Golden and crisp outside, juicy inside — switching between the different sauces meant I never got tired of it

Sides at Godansu Gimhae Yulha: bibim noodles and white kimchi stew

While eating the meat, I got curious about the side menu, so I ordered bibim noodles (₩7,000)! Eating it together with the meat made a great combo 😋 A bite of the spicy-tangy noodles, then a piece of meat — perfect!!

And then the white kimchi stew I tried as part of the opening event!! This was seriously my style…ㅠㅠ The white kimchi was so good that I hadn't planned to order rice, but I couldn't resist and ended up ordering rice too, and ate it all up neatly lol 🍚 The kimchi was so good that I kept spooning up the broth too!

Verdict on Godansu Gimhae Yulha: would revisit ★★★★★

Overall, the staff were really kind, and from the atmosphere to the food to every single sauce, it felt like real care had gone into everything, so I enjoyed the whole meal 😊 The atmosphere especially is pretty enough that I think this is a solid Yulha restaurant for a date too 💕 I think I'll come back soon for more pork belly lol. If you're looking for a stylish new BBQ restaurant with great vibes in Yulha, I'd say Godansu Gimhae Yulha is worth a visit! ✨
