There are days when you just want that sweet, savory marinated ribs flavor, and I heard there's a place nearby that's built up quite a word-of-mouth reputation. Let me share my review of the buzzed-about 'Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi,' covering parking, menu highlights, and the overall vibe. ## Where is Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi and where do you park? Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi is located on the 1st floor of 3-5 Gwangi-ro, Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do, near Gwangmyeong Traditional Market. If you're driving, it's worth checking parking availability beforehand. There are dedicated parking spots right in front of the restaurant, but only about 2 spots are available, so it's fairly tight. If those spots are full, you can use 'Seongil Parking Lot (paid),' located about 30m to the left before you reach the restaurant. Parking can be tricky near the market, so it helps to know a paid lot is nearby before you visit. ![Exterior of Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi and its parking space](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-01-1u0cg-900.webp) ![Area around the entrance of Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi near Gwangmyeong Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-02-7ga7d-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of the front of Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-03-1wadm-688.webp) ## Hand-cut marinated ribs and the house sauce at Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi The ribs, the signature dish of this Gwangmyeong Market restaurant, involve quite a bit of care. The owner personally hand-cuts each rib, marinates them in a special sauce he developed himself, then lets them go through a second aging process before serving. It's a hassle-heavy process, but the fact that it's all done by hand is what stands out. ![Plate of hand-cut marinated ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-04-1grh5-900.webp) ![Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi ribs marinated in special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-05-9opid-1200.webp) ![Vertical photo of marinated ribs on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-06-6zqcc-900.webp) ![Marinated ribs cooking on a charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-07-ti9fo-900.webp) ![Table setting with grilling ribs and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-08-mfqha-900.webp) ![Close-up of nicely browned marinated ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-09-dvyvq-900.webp) When you grill the meat on the plate, thanks to the aging process, the marinade has soaked all the way into the meat and the texture is tender. It's not overly spicy or overly sweet — the umami of the special sauce comes through just right and blends well with the natural flavor of the meat. If you like marinated ribs, this is a flavor you can enjoy without any complaints at this Gwangmyeong Market restaurant. ![Fully grilled marinated ribs plated](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-10-1u0x8-900.webp) ![A piece of rib with marinade soaked all the way through](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-11-19lz9-900.webp) ## Unlimited refills of seasoned crab with every meal Among the side dishes served alongside the meat at Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi, the seasoned crab (yangnyeom gejang) stands out the most. Usually when Korean BBQ restaurants serve seasoned crab, they either charge extra or limit refills, but at this Gwangmyeong Market restaurant, you can get unlimited refills of the seasoned crab. ![Seasoned crab served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-12-1gnn4-900.webp) ![Plate of unlimited-refill seasoned crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-13-1g3qq-900.webp) I visited this time with my mom and my husband, and both of them seemed to love the crab marinade — they refilled it several times. It works well as a side dish to eat with rice before the meat is grilled, or alongside the ribs themselves. ![Table set with seasoned crab and ribs together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-14-14658-900.webp) ![Seasoned crab served alongside rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-15-14fe9-900.webp) ## What we ordered and what it cost We ordered one serving of standing ribs, seoseo galbi (₩22,000), and two servings of pork ribs (₩16,000 per serving). ![Table set with ordered standing ribs and pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-16-1w7io-900.webp) ![Plate of pork ribs for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-17-gxtkg-900.webp) ![Plate of standing ribs for one](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-18-8ya6u-900.webp) ![Comparison of standing ribs and pork ribs on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-19-56v80-900.webp) Both menu items have their own distinct charm. If your budget allows, I'd recommend ordering a bit of both! A basic doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) is also provided as a side dish. And it's refillable too :) ![Doenjang jjigae served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-20-bq9ka-966.webp) ## Is Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi good with a baby? Chairs, dishware and seating The interior of Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi overall isn't too noisy or cluttered — it has a nicely organized atmosphere. The table spacing and layout aren't complicated, making it a comfortable structure for group dinners or family gatherings. Baby chairs are provided for customers with young children, so families visiting with kids can eat comfortably too. It looked like baby dishware was also available. We had brought our own baby dishware, so we didn't end up using it. ![Table and baby chair at Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-21-1i0ir-966.webp) ![Neatly organized interior of Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-22-1lp0j-900.webp) Here's a look inside the buzzed-about Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi, the Gwangmyeong Market restaurant where you can try hand-cut marinated ribs and unlimited seasoned crab :) ![Seating and layout of the Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-23-1yxl9-900.webp) ![Overview of the Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit-24-1s91w-900.webp) If you're looking for somewhere to eat before or after browsing the market, or trying to decide on a Gwangmyeong Market restaurant to visit with your mom or family, this place is worth a try. ## Where it is - Gwangmyeong Seoseo Galbi (광명서서갈비) - 3-5 Gwangi-ro, 1st floor, Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 광명시 광이로 3-5 1층 - 37.4789512, 126.8573659 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B4%91%EB%AA%85%EC%84%9C%EC%84%9C%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84/@37.4789512,126.8573659,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@paju-riverbank-menu/gwangmyeong-market-seoseo-galbi-visit/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
