Busan galbi restaurant near Choryang Station: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi

Where is Choryang Hyeongje Galbi, and when is it open?

Choryang Hyeongje Galbi is a pork galbi (grilled short ribs) restaurant on the first floor at 15-4 Choryang-ro, Dong-gu, Busan. It's open daily from 11:00 to 22:50, with a break time from 14:30 to 16:00 and last order at 21:50. For parking, there are nearby paid lots or Kakao T Choryang-dong parking.

I was looking for a clean, tasty galbi restaurant near Choryang and ended up visiting this place.

You can get off at Choryang Station on Line 1 and just walk there! Walking from the station along Choryang-ro, you'll spot it easily, so it was convenient to visit by public transit.

What comes in the 13,000-won lunch set?

Here's the menu — and if you're planning to visit during lunch, definitely take note! From 11:00 to 14:30, pork galbi + doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) + rice comes to ₩13,000👏🏻 It's available for orders of 2 or more, but honestly, isn't that a great price for this kind of spread?

With pork galbi, doenjang jjigae and rice all together, it seems perfect for a filling lunch. I visited outside lunch hours this time, so next time I want to time it right and try the pork galbi + doenjang jjigae + rice set! ₩13,000 for that spread is such good value — I'm already looking forward to my next visit🤍

Which side dishes arrive with the galbi?

The basic side dishes at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi were a nice, well-balanced lineup — scallion salad, lettuce wraps, various pickles and kimchi, all classic pairings with grilled meat. Every side was clean-tasting and not overly seasoned, which made them perfect to eat alongside the meat.

Even better, the pork is domestic and the kimchi is domestic👍

All the basic side dishes were tasty, but I especially loved that steamed egg and kimchi pancake came out together! Great for picking at while waiting for the meat, and with warm steamed egg and crispy kimchi pancake, the meal felt hearty right from the start. The kimchi pancake in particular was good even before the meat arrived, and worked well as a snack in between bites too 🤍

Three portions of galbi, grilled tableside by the staff

I ordered 3 portions of galbi. At Choryang Hyeongje Galbi, staff grill the meat for you right at the table. They grilled it so well that I could just relax and eat.

Mushrooms and zucchini also came out to grill alongside the meat, and that turned out to be a treat too! Eating the mushrooms and zucchini, browned nicely on the grill, together with the meat gave a nice variety of textures and made it even tastier. As the meat cooked to a golden brown, the smell drifting up was amazing!

Once cooked through, the meat had great juiciness and tenderness.🤤 Confirmed: a must-try pork galbi spot in Choryang!

Galbi can easily end up too sweet because of the sauce, but here the sweetness wasn't overdone — it was just right! The seasoning was balanced enough that I kept eating without getting tired of it haha

Doenjang jjigae with house-made scallion kimchi

I got so into eating that I forgot to take a photo of the doenjang jjigae ㅠㅠ😂 It had quite a lot of mushrooms and tofu, with an old-school, savory flavor that went really well with the meat. One bite of meat, one spoonful of warm doenjang jjigae — I couldn't stop going back for more haha

They also sell ramyeon (instant noodles), and it looked really good too! 🍜 Finishing off with ramyeon after the meat seemed like it would be the perfect ending, so next time I visit I definitely want to try it haha This time I was too full to manage it, but next visit I'll be sure to properly finish with the ramyeon too🤭

Eating it together with the house-made scallion kimchi that came as a basic side really doubled the flavor haha Piling a bite of meat with scallion kimchi and pairing it with the doenjang jjigae — the combination was so good🤍

Who will enjoy Choryang Hyeongje Galbi?

Overall, the meat was great and having staff grill it for me made the meal effortless 🥩 The not-overly-sweet galbi, the savory doenjang jjigae, and the house-made scallion kimchi made for a wonderful combination. I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting delicious meat in Choryang 🤍
