Toseong Station pork ribs with free steamed egg, Busan: Bueongi Maeul

Today I'm back at a meat restaurant I visited once with my mom last year! The weather's gotten cooler lately and I was craving pork ribs, so I went back after a long time haha. This place is especially perfect for outdoor seating in the fall!

Bueongi Maeul is a great meat restaurant for enjoying that outdoor-seating vibe in Nampo-dong. There's a second branch right across the street too, so seating is pretty generous ~!

We sat inside!

Why Bueongi Maeul is known for pre-grilled pork ribs

Here's the Bueongi Maeul menu!

Since we weren't drinking and just came to eat, we ordered pork ribs 800g + pork doenjang jjigae (small) + 3 bowls of rice 💛

There's a kiosk, so ordering is easy!

What side dishes come with the meal?

So many side dishes come out at Bueongi Maeul haha. The stir-fried kimchi here is seriously delicious ..! And later the steamed egg comes as part of the basic spread too.

800g of pork ribs: pre-grilled and easy to cook

One mushroom and 800g of pork ribs arrived!

The great thing about Bueongi Maeul is that the meat comes pre-grilled once already! Grilling seasoned ribs usually takes a lot of work, but it's so nice that they come pre-cooked 🤭

The pre-grilled seasoned pork ribs go on one by one ~

Because of the seasoning, the ribs burn easily, so you have to flip them often ✨

Taking a bite! The seasoning is just right — not too sweet, not too salty. It's a flavor you can keep eating without getting tired of it haha. Is it just me, or was it tastier than when I came with my mom last year ..? 🫠

Our princess grilling away diligently ..

Pork doenjang jjigae (small) and bowls of rice

The doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) we ordered in the small size had way more than expected lol. Tasted exactly like the doenjang jjigae grandma used to make — right up my alley !! 🔫🔫

There's meat in it too haha, and fried tofu, so it's perfect ㅋ_ㅋ

Eating the jjigae in one bite with meat and rice together — how good could that possibly be !

Free steamed egg with every rib order

A free steamed egg (gyeranjjim) that comes to every table that orders ribs 💛💛💛

The table legs might break ...

Second round ~! They swapped in a new grill pan!

The ribs are so good I never got tired of them ㅜ

We picked the meat off the bones down to the last bit haha. The meat right on the bone is the best part of ribs, right? 🤩🤩

Honest verdict on Bueongi Maeul

Bueongi Maeul was a pork ribs restaurant in Nampo-dong that's plenty satisfying even if you only go to eat, no drinking required. Coming pre-grilled means less work, and the seasoning is neither too sweet nor too salty, so I finished all 800g without getting tired of it. With so many side dishes and even a free steamed egg on top, the table felt like it might collapse under the weight, and now that fall has cooled things down, the outdoor seating is perfect too.
