After arriving around 5 p.m. on a weekend with 12 groups ahead, the writer ordered 2 servings of handmade pork galbi and 2 servings of beef rib meat; the pork galbi came in generous 180g servings and was tender, with a well-absorbed marinade. Taewangam Deungdae Galbi means a weekend wait after a Daewangam Park outing, but the pork galbi makes it well worth recommending. ## Good to know - **Address**: 18 Deungdae 2-gil, Dong-gu, Ulsan - **Weekend wait**: 12 groups ahead when arriving around 5 p.m. on a weekend - **What we ordered**: 2 servings of handmade pork galbi, 2 servings of beef rib meat, white rice - **Pork galbi portion**: 180g per serving - **Seating**: More than 10 tables, with a tablet menu at every table - **Sauces**: Jeotgal (salted seafood), ssamjang, salt, sesame oil dip, pork galbi sauce - **Shipping**: A sign on the outside wall says parcel shipping is available - **Dessert**: Sikhye (sweet rice drink) or instant coffee by the entrance *as written by the visitor on Apr 20, 2026 · not checked with the business* ## Why we came to Deungdae Galbi Main Branch after Daewangam Park Taewangam Deungdae Galbi Main Branch (대왕암등대갈비 본점) is a charcoal galbi restaurant near Daewangam Park in Dong-gu, Ulsan.

As soon as we ordered, a huge number of side dishes (banchan) came out!! There was a good variety that goes well with meat, like pickled onions, seasoned scallion strips, and radish wraps (mussam). There was also a salad topped with black sesame dressing, my favorite, which worked as an appetizer before the meat~ The marinated raw crab (yangnyeom gejang) was delicious too, and there was something unusual that looked like a bean sprout jjolmyeon (chewy wheat noodle) salad!? It went really well with the meat~~ And then the dipping sauces for the meat!! Salted seafood (jeotgal), ssamjang, salt, sesame oil dip, and even pork galbi sauce! They gave us a whole variety haha ## Handmade pork galbi: 180g per serving The 2 servings of handmade pork galbi came out first! At 180g per serving, it was a lot of meat even for 2 people!! ![Two servings of handmade pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-09-kedxm-900.webp) ![Handmade pork galbi placed on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-10-1fvj5-900.webp) It was too much to put on all at once, so we grilled only half first haha The meat turning golden brown haha Grilled over charcoal, it had a light smoky flavor that made it even better haha ![Full table spread with pork galbi grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-11-1ubpf-1200.webp) Look at it like this, the table is totally full, right!? ![Pork galbi grilled golden over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-12-vh7vx-900.webp) ![Fully grilled pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-13-1of00-900.webp) ![A piece of marinated pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-14-1q6bd-900.webp) ![Pork galbi with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-15-1fx5x-900.webp) ![Grilled pork galbi with radish wraps and jjolmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-16-m8kk5-900.webp) ### How to enjoy the pork galbi Once grilled, I ate the pork galbi plain (it was seasoned enough that it was delicious as it was!), dipped it in sauces, and had it with radish wraps and jjolmyeon too haha ![Making a wrap with pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-17-e0umc-900.webp) ![Pork galbi wrapped in lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-18-k0fnq-900.webp) ![Pork galbi wrap with perilla leaf and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-19-1bsmx-900.webp) I also made lettuce and perilla leaf wraps with onion, scallion strips and other veggies, and they were great haha The pork galbi is super tender and just heavenly!! ![Pork galbi eaten with white rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-20-lmqkb-900.webp) The pork galbi was so good that I ordered white rice too, and I grilled the meat still on the bone until golden and ate that happily haha (Marinated meat with rice is the golden rule, right?!) ![Bone-in pork galbi grilled golden](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-21-12ghf-900.webp) ## Beef rib meat with salt Next up, the beef rib meat (sogalbisal) at Deungdae Galbi Main Branch! They slice it for you right after you order~ We grilled it golden and enjoyed it too~ ![Grilled beef rib meat at Deungdae Galbi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-22-46g8d-900.webp) Dipping the beef ribs in salt let me taste the meat's natural flavor best, so that was my favorite, and the meat wasn't tough at all~ ![Beef rib meat dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-23-1t9ut-900.webp) ![A piece of grilled beef rib meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait/ulsan-daewangam-galbi-weekend-wait-24-k98qq-900.webp) ## Dessert and final verdict We finished with sikhye (sweet rice drink) or instant coffee, both set out at the entrance! We each had a cold sikhye~~ True to a pork galbi specialist, the pork was really tender and the seasoning soaked in just right, which made Deungdae Galbi Main Branch even better!!
