## In short

Ubookgeum Saenggalbi Seosin Branch is a charcoal-grilled beef and pork rib restaurant on the main Ongoeul-ro road in Seosin-dong, Jeonju. For dinner we ordered one plate of beef saenggalbi (fresh, unmarinated short ribs), and staff at Ubookgeum Saenggalbi grilled the LA-style short ribs from start to finish and deboned them, served with a special sauce, shiitake wasabi and self-serve myeongi (wild garlic leaves), plus doenjang jjigae and steamed egg in the basic table setting. With two hours of parking covered at the K parking lot a one-minute walk away, it works easily for a family gathering or a company dinner.

Today I went to Ubookgeum Saenggalbi in Seosin-dong, Jeonju — a rib restaurant known for great service!

Ubookgeum Saenggalbi started in Daegu as a raw-rib specialist, trimming carefully selected high-quality meat and grilling it over top-grade charcoal for the best possible result. It's also a place that offers genuinely skilled service so you can have a relaxed, enjoyable meal. A solid meal, a satisfying night out, a place you keep thinking about — even the side dishes come together beautifully. Let me introduce Ubookgeum Saenggalbi.

There's 2-hour free parking support at the K parking lot next to Baek Dabang. On the map it shows up as a road, but it's actually being used as a parking lot.

## Tables at Ubookgeum Saenggalbi: is there room for a family gathering?

The restaurant has partitioned seats toward the back and open seats by the window — we took a window table for the open feel. The inner tables are set up as pairs of 4-seaters pushed together, which makes them great for group meals like family gatherings or company dinners.

## Grill menu and lunch specials at Ubookgeum Saenggalbi

We went for dinner to eat meat, so first we checked out the meat menu. Beef and pork saenggalbi (raw ribs) are the signature items, and there's also yangnyeom galbi (marinated ribs) with a soft, savory flavor.

For dessert, there's kkotge jjaguli — a dish you can only get here — plus noodles and naengmyeon (cold noodles).

At lunch there are set menus and specials — galbitang, yukgaejang, and seolleongtang specials come with bossam on the side at a reasonable price, which makes them really popular.

![Tablet ordering screen installed at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-09-1v4nl-966.webp)

You order through the tablet installed at each table. We ordered one plate of beef saenggalbi.

## The basic table setting: doenjang jjigae and steamed egg

![Basic table setting laid out right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-10-uuvga-966.webp)

As soon as we ordered, the basic table setting was laid out.

![Pickled onions, ssammu, myeongi namul, and baek kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-11-1cqcz-966.webp)

We got pickled onions, ssammu (radish wraps), myeongi namul (wild garlic leaves), baek kimchi (white kimchi), lettuce for wraps, and the restaurant's own sauce — all great with the meat.

![Bean sprout salad and dongchimi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-12-1668b-966.webp)

And also spicy-sweet bean sprout salad and refreshing dongchimi (water kimchi) to spoon up cold!

![Table set with an array of side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-13-1bao7-966.webp)

A bit later, a bubbling hot doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) came out,

![Bubbling hot doenjang jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-14-1dcxo-966.webp)

along with a bouncy steamed egg — both part of the basic table setting.

And just like that, a wonderfully full spread was complete!

## Beef saenggalbi LA-style short ribs, grilled and deboned by the staff

![A plate of marbled beef LA-style short ribs (saenggalbi)](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-16-cvqek-966.webp)

While the side dishes were being set out, the beef saenggalbi arrived too. That gorgeous marbling on the LA-style short ribs looks incredible!

Everyone knows LA galbi is delicious, but the bone makes it a hassle to grill and eat. Don't worry — at Ubookgeum Saenggalbi, a skilled staff member handles the entire grilling process for you, start to finish.

![Beef saenggalbi grilling over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-17-1spin-966.webp)

No filter, no editing — just look at that color on the meat. How does it turn out this beautiful?! They say they only use carefully selected premium-quality meat, and you can tell at a glance that it's good stuff!

While it grills, a built-in downdraft hood pulls the smoke away so you can eat without any smoke at all.

So now you're probably wondering — what happens to the meat still stuck on the bone? If they were just going to throw it away with the bone, anyone could do that.

![Staff member grilling beef ribs and bones](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-18-idmqz-1200.webp)

Once the good cuts are nearly done grilling, they set the bones aside and debone them perfectly with scissors and tongs! It can feel a little chewy because of the texture, but that's exactly its charm — it's fun to eat.

## Salt, special sauce or shiitake wasabi: what to dip the ribs in

For the first bite, they told us to dip it in salt, so I did — and oops, I used way too much haha. Since the raw ribs already have a base seasoning, I'd recommend just a light touch of salt.

And personally, my top recommendation is the special sauce that comes one per person!

![Special sauce and salt served one per person](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-19-17vqv-966.webp)

![A piece of rib dipped in shiitake wasabi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-20-fkgzb-966.webp)

The brown one next to the salt is the shiitake wasabi — the sharp bite of the wasabi and the fragrant shiitake flavor go really well with the meat, so I highly, highly recommend trying it this way too!

![A rib wrap with myeongi namul and garlic on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-21-1ljdn-966.webp)

It's also delicious wrapped up with myeongi namul and garlic on top.

![A piece of meat topped with bean sprouts and cheongyang chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-22-1q0ax-966.webp)

It's nice to enjoy it with a bit of spice too, topping it with the crunchy bean sprouts and cheongyang chili.

![Rib wrapped with self-serve myeongi namul and baek kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-23-qpwix-966.webp)

There's an unlimited self-serve bar, so rolling the precious myeongi namul and baek kimchi together is another salty, crunchy pleasure haha.

![Wrapping the meat left on the bone into a lettuce wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs/ubokgeum-saenggalbi-seosin-charcoal-beef-ribs-24-1phwd-966.webp)

And if you carefully wrap up the meat that was still on the bone, that's really enjoying Ubookgeum Saenggalbi to the fullest!

## What to grab before you leave
