Where The Barbecue 051 is and how to reserve — near Mafien Osiria and Gijang Outlet

The Barbecue 051 is a barbecue restaurant at 62 Gijanghaean-ro, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan. It's close to Mafien Osiria and Gijang Outlet, so it pairs well with an outing, and there's a private parking lot.

The space really does have that open-fire vibe~ It opens right up to the outside and the view feels wide open! I'd recommend booking through Naver Reservation for a smoother visit — 💡💡 you can choose outdoor or indoor seating and party size when you book.

What is on the self-serve banchan bar?

At The Barbecue 051 you can take as much banchan (side dish) as you like from the self-serve bar. It's stocked with tofu kimchi, onion soy sauce, bean sprout soup, ssam vegetables and pickled radish, and various sauces.

Banchan, served up~ Thanks to the self-serve bar, you can top up whatever you're missing to your own taste. Tofu kimchi & onion soy sauce & bean sprout soup & ssam vegetables and pickled radish and sauces and more. My personal favorites are curry powder and wasabi, hoho 🤍

A nice touch from The Barbecue 051 🥓: the cup is packed full of ice underneath. It keeps the drink cup cold — not for eating, its job is temperature control! 🍽🍽

I sat at an indoor table with a great view of the outdoor landscaping 🌿🌿

This is the kind of variety the self-serve bar had on offer

You know you're supposed to eat healthy and add pickled radish while you eat meat, right?~? 🥦🥬

What comes in the signature 2-person set: pork belly, galmaegisal and 2 skewers

I ordered The Barbecue 051's signature 2-person set (pork belly & galmaegisal) plus mul-naengmyeon (cold noodle soup) and a Coke. The 2-person set lets you choose 2 of pork belly, galmaegisal or pork neck, served together with 2 types of skewers.

This is what comes with the 2-person set! You pick two kinds of meat, and they come out together with 2 types of skewers too~ 🥓🥓 Choose 2 of pork belly, galmaegisal or pork neck — pork belly + galmaegisal is great if you like a leaner, cleaner-tasting meat, while pork belly + pork neck is for those who love juicy, fatty bites haha

Grilling away beautifully. The meat comes pre-grilled once, so it's easy to cook, and since the place opens from lunchtime, you can absolutely do BBQ for lunch! 🔥🔥

Nom nom ✨️✨️ Eating the pork belly and galmaegisal combo together, it's clean-tasting with just the right amount of fat mixed in — delicious

Grilled hard, then nom nom along with the mul-naengmyeon

How big is the mul-naengmyeon and how does it taste?

The Barbecue 051's mul-naengmyeon comes in a generous portion with icy slush floating in the broth. Recommended for anyone who likes chewy noodles.

The mul-naengmyeon portion is quite generous 🧊🧊🧊 — a good amount of noodles with cool icy slush floating on top. Recommended for anyone who likes chewy noodles~

Once the meat's done, it's skewer time~ They're cut into small pieces on the skewer, which made them easy to eat! 🔥🥓

Nom nom

The mul-naengmyeon had quite a lot of icy slush, which made it refreshing for summer, and adding vinegar gave it a bright, clean finish 🧊🧊

The combo plate (pork belly & galmaegisal) — pork belly on top, galmaegisal below 🥓🥓 what a look~.~

Stone-wall interior and open-air grill atmosphere at The Barbecue 051

The Barbecue 051 brings camping-ground energy with a stone-wall-style interior and a wide outdoor space. Even the indoor seats look out onto the outdoor landscaping, which made for a great atmosphere.

The stone-wall interior is great. Enjoying good meat in a pretty space~
