Paju beef restaurant: mixed beef platter for 3, ₩86,000 at Jeongwon

Today's restaurant pick is Jeongwon Galbi Paju Main Branch — it's really tasty and reasonably priced. I think it'd be great to bring the whole family here for Chuseok! Jeongwon Galbi Paju Main Branch is a Paju meat restaurant where you can enjoy affordable beef alongside their standout seasoned idong-galbi (marinated pork or beef short rib) together.

Jeongwon Galbi Paju Main Branch: hours and parking

Jeongwon Galbi Paju Main Branch is open daily from 11:00 to 22:00, with last order at 21:00. The parking space was really spacious too, which was great! Big family get-togethers welcome haha.

You can also book through Catch Table! The crowds here are massive..! I'd recommend coming early.

They're open as usual during the Chuseok holiday too. How about a family gathering here haha? And there's a cheap takeout discount, plus if you join the review event you even get marble ice cream!

What's on the menu and at the self-serve corner

Here's the menu. Everything from beef to pork! They also have a lunch set, so keep that in mind.

There's also a self-serve corner, so if you're short on any side dish you can just grab more. But for dishes not available there, you need to ask a staff member!

They load up the charcoal generously too. Charcoal's expensive these days, ugh, but they're really generous with it haha.

Side dishes, including japchae and marinated crab

Here's how the basic side dishes come out! Super generous. There's japchae (glass noodle stir-fry) too, and even marinated crab!

Close-up of the marinated crab haha. Really delicious. The umami is 👍🏻 Note that refills of the marinated crab come with an extra charge!

The ₩86,000 mixed beef platter: just right for 3

Beef combo platter — ₩86,000. It comes with idong-galbi, beef short rib, and fresh flower short rib! The meat quality was excellent, and we ordered based on 3 people.

There's wasabi, curry salt, and more, and we also added a stew!

And here comes the moment the meat goes on the grill haha. The marbling was so good and the meat quality so great that it just felt good. Beef cooks quickly, which is nice haha. Thanks to the excellent marbling and thick cut, the moment Jeongwon Galbi Paju Main Branch's beef short rib hits the charcoal, a rich savory aroma spreads instantly!

Flip, flip haha. Isn't the color just gorgeous?? It cooked really well over the charcoal.

They cut the cooked meat nicely for us. Since the meat quality is good, it sliced really cleanly. I'm already dying to eat it, ugh.

Once it's well cooked, there's a resting plate on the right side of the grill. Once it's done, you can just set it there! That was really convenient — that way it doesn't burn either.

Beef short rib dipped in wasabi and salt

First up, cooked beef short rib with wasabi on top, yum! The wasabi was real fresh wasabi and paired perfectly. Not tough at all, and the juiciness was amazing... Great value beef, I think!

Dipped in salt too! Beef short rib naturally goes well with salt. It was delicious haha. Salty and tender. It's great value while still being high quality — a good way to fully enjoy a luxurious-tasting beef short rib without any burden!

Eating it on top of pickled onions and fresh kimchi is also amazing! The meat is so tender it's just so good. I get why the place is so crowded!! Already fully booked...

We kept diligently wrapping and eating haha. The holiday starts tomorrow, so you should try coming!! You really won't regret it haha.

Idong-galbi grilled last on the charcoal

We put the idong-galbi on the grill last! It's super thick and heavy..! It's been a while since I had idong-galbi, ugh.

The idong-galbi was tender and really delicious too. The seasoning had soaked in perfectly, so tender haha. I think kids would really love it!

We ordered just one extra serving of beef short rib meat. It looks like a small amount, but once it's grilled and cut, there's a lot. That's because it's cut super thick. The meat quality is truly great 👍🏻

Cold noodles to finish: one water, one spicy

We ordered cold noodles for dessert too. One water naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodle soup), one bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles)!! Even as dessert, the portion was huge..!

Wrapping it up like this is absolutely delicious haha. Beef short rib pairs best with the water naengmyeon! The broth was super refreshing too.

We really ate until we were stuffed! Finished it all off with the marble ice cream from the review event haha. It was truly the perfect dinner. If you're looking for a good restaurant in Paju, Unjeong, or a Paju pork rib or meat restaurant, I highly recommend this place! Perfect for family gatherings or dates too!! Come eat here during the holidays~~ The meat quality relative to the price is excellent, so you can enjoy it without worry!! It also pairs well with the side dishes served alongside, so if you're looking for juicy pork ribs and beef around Paju or Unjeong, I'd recommend it~!
