The tables were spaced generously too, making it a great atmosphere for a comfortable meal with parents or a chatty catch-up with friends. ![Basic side dishes and self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-08-1q0fy-900.webp) ![Kkakdugi, onion, and pepper side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-09-i85ir-900.webp) The default side dishes were simple: kkakdugi (radish kimchi), onion, and peppers. Apparently the kkakdugi is made in-house! If you need more, you can easily grab extras from the self-serve bar, and each side dish seemed to be kept clean and well managed, which I liked. ## How is the meat-packed aromsatae galbitang? ![Meat-packed aromsatae galbitang](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-10-ntxdj-1200.webp) Meat-packed aromsatae galbitang, ₩19,000. My one pick that day was definitely the 'aromsatae galbitang'! Every time I've had regular galbitang elsewhere, the meat portion always felt lacking, so this time I tried the meat-packed aromsatae galbitang. The second it was served, I audibly gasped at the sight of it. ![Generously served aromsatae galbitang](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-11-1pgqs-900.webp) It's called meat-packed aromsatae galbitang, so I wondered just how much meat that meant — turns out it came with two big rib bones plus a generous heap of aromsatae (beef shank) meat. The visuals were incredible. I took a sip of the broth first, and it was deep and clean without a hint of gamy smell. ![Deep, clean galbitang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-12-ql3w3-900.webp) The rib meat was so tender that just a light touch with the tongs separated it from the bone, no effort needed to tear it off. Even being meat on the bone, it wasn't tough at all — soft and delicious. ![Tender rib meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-13-1dy0r-900.webp) ![Aromsatae dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-14-wxoip-900.webp) I also dipped the aromsatae meat in the sauce. The meat was glossy and chewy in the best way — Achasan Station restaurant approved. Even after eating through about half the meat, there was miraculously still more left, and since the rice was smartly unlimited, I grabbed another bowl to go with the remaining meat. ![Meal with rice and galbitang](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-15-1urbd-900.webp) Meal complete, plate clean. I got a proper energy boost from the deep, hot broth loaded with protein — a hearty meal. Best galbitang spot near Achasan Station! So good! ## Free 17-grain misugaru to finish the meal ![17-grain misugaru dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-16-1fa0a-900.webp) After a hearty, hot-broth meal, they also had 17-grain misugaru so you could cool off with something refreshing. ![Misugaru served in a paper cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang-17-iwusv-900.webp) I filled a paper cup and took a sip — it washed away all the oiliness left in my mouth from the meat, completing the perfect sweet-and-savory finish. ## Is Achasan Tong Galbitang worth a visit? Generous meat portions, unlimited rice, and a sweet dessert misugaru — the service trifecta here was perfect. If you're looking for a hearty, restorative soup dish or a filling meal, give Achasan Tong Galbitang a try — I left truly satisfied! ## Where it is - Achasan Tong Galbitang (아차산통갈비탕) - 1st floor, 306 Jayang-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 광진구 자양로 306 1층 - 37.5526194, 127.093086 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%84%EC%B0%A8%EC%82%B0%ED%86%B5%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84%ED%83%95/@37.5526194,127.093086,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@nook-meals-seoul/achasan-arongsatae-galbitang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
