Aged beef BBQ date in Ansan: 750g galbisal for ₩73,000 at Yangsimso

While exploring Ansan restaurants, I found a place I'm totally, completely, absolutely in love with, from the taste to the price to the service!! I'm here to give a huge recommendation to the aged beef specialist Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch (양심소 안산고잔점)! This time it was a date, but next time I'll go back with my family ❤

What's the atmosphere like at Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch?

Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch has a good number of seats, and they're spaced widely, which I like. It's perfect for dates, company dinners and family meals. And it's clean. All. Over! Some BBQ places feel sticky and icky, but not here at all~! No worries ❌

If you want privacy, you can book a room too. The rooms are separated, so you can eat comfortably.

There's a self-service corner, and it's clean. The onions have a lid on the top shelf (so thoughtful). I wondered what else was there, and it was aprons, haha! An apron on a mannequin, nice touch 👏

Yangsimso aged beef prices and the review event

Whether it's the aged raw beef assortment or the big platter, the prices at Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch are crazy! Value king! Aged beef, and raw galbi is 750g for ₩70,000? The value just keeps coming down, I tell ya~

If you write a Naver review, you can pick one of alcohol, a drink or 2 sausages. The important part: it's not one per table, it's one per person! Total win 👏 (Please be honest about your headcount~)

What we ordered that day

• 750g galbisal platter (raw short rib meat) ₩73,000
• Yukhoe (beef tartare) (complimentary)
• 2 sausages (review event)
• Zero Coke (review event)
• Total ₩73,000

How does the Yangsimso 750g galbisal platter taste?

I read that the name "Yangsimso" (양심소) means serving meat on honest, conscientious principles. (I liked it so much I looked it up!) Having eaten here, it lives up to the name! They keep strict standards from choosing the beef to the weight, aging, charcoal and grilling environment.

The side dishes come in a nice variety, and all of them are delicious. Especially the seasoned codari (semi-dried pollack) kimchi, so good~!

🔽 Let the feasting begin!

This is it, this is it!! You know charcoal-grilled meat is the best, right? T_T

The 750g galbisal platter, wow, right? It looks small, but it's really a lot of meat. It's aged 48 hours, so the color is different from the start!!!

The complimentary yukhoe: you have to try it

Everyone. Please eat the Yangsimso yukhoe.. please, please eat it 👏 The moment I tried it I went huh??????what?????what is this!!! Seriously. It has a sweet-salty, lightly soy-sauce-based flavor and it just melts. Really. I understand it's domestic beef!! It's truly different!

The menu description says "the true flavor of galbisal, mild and nutty, completed by 48-hour aging," and it's true. Really true.

The brisket kimchi stew is also amazingly good! A little spicy, and the brisket is tasty too, so my spoon keeps going back in.

It's mild yet nutty, and the charcoal aroma on top makes it so tasty. Ahh I'm drooling.. slurp

Codari kimchi and other side dishes

Salt and pickled chili peppers come along. And this one, this one, the codari kimchi (?), is a little temptress. The sweet-salty combo and the soft texture of the codari go so well with the cabbage, making the ultimate pairing! The codari kimchi gets one free refill only!

Yum, meat, yum yum, yukhoe too. I also tried it with codari kimchi and onions.

The ssamjang (dipping paste) tastes like the one we all know, but they added barley (?) separately. The texture is so much better!

Review-event sausage and round two of feasting

The sausage from the review event! I don't really eat sausage, but this wasn't salty and was really, truly delicious. Plump and chewy, which I like.

🔽 Round two of feasting begins! Look at that color.. I'm going crazy... A subtle smoky flavor soaks naturally into the meat.

Apparently Yangsimso even holds a patent for an "aging composition for meat and its manufacturing method." They research and develop their aging technique themselves. There's a reason it's so good, I see~~

A perfect palate-cleansing finish too 🎉
