I'd searched around beforehand and honestly couldn't wait to dig in — I was practically bouncing on my feet. ![Interior atmosphere of Hong-i-jip Ilgwang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-06-1yuj7-900.webp) ## Inside Hong-i-jip Ilgwang: the room and the side dish setup The atmosphere at Hong-i-jip Ilgwang was bright, and it seemed to be run by a young couple who greeted us so kindly that I felt great the moment I walked in. ![Clean interior seating at Hong-i-jip Ilgwang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-07-msxuk-900.webp) ![Table and charcoal grill seating at Hong-i-jip Ilgwang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-08-bkagn-900.webp) ![Interior view of Hong-i-jip Ilgwang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-09-1j9vz-900.webp) The clean interior caught my eye as soon as I walked in. The banchan (side dishes) in the basic table setting were especially neat and perfectly seasoned, so my chopsticks kept reaching for them. ![Neatly arranged basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-10-17v9i-900.webp) The self-bar was also well stocked, so we had a great start to the meal even before the main meat arrived. ![Self-bar setup at Hong-i-jip Ilgwang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-11-u53j8-900.webp) ![Self-bar corner filled with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-12-137oh-900.webp) ## The self-bar at Hong-i-jip Ilgwang is stocked like a buffet I was genuinely surprised by the self-bar set up on one side of Hong-i-jip Ilgwang. Usually a self-bar at a BBQ restaurant just has lettuce, garlic, and ssamjang (dipping sauce), right? ![Self-bar with lettuce wraps and side extras](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-13-1qmr0-900.webp) But it was packed with all kinds of side dishes and extras, like being at a buffet. Every single item was neatly kept full — it was fun just to look at! ![Self-bar packed full of side dishes like a buffet](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-14-ylpkn-900.webp) ## 1kg of pork galbi plus 3 extra servings: about 2kg for four We ordered 1kg of pork ribs and cold noodles. I was shocked looking at the menu — the value for money was incredible! I found out later that everyone loved it so much that we ended up adding 3 more servings!!! We ate over 2 geun (about 1.2kg extra) ☺️ ![Table set for 4 after ordering pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-15-1qdal-900.webp) ## Why Hong-i-jip Ilgwang works for family gatherings: parking and private seating There's also a separate private space, which made it a great spot for a family gathering. ![Private separate space great for family gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-16-zsaxq-900.webp) We drove there, and the parking was well set up, which made things convenient from the start. ![Parking space in front of Hong-i-jip Ilgwang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-17-1m4em-900.webp) ![Plate of cheongyang chili pickle side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-18-16wne-900.webp) The cheongyang chili pickle side dish especially was so good that I kept exclaiming over it as I ate. ![Table setting with the ordered 1kg of marinated pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-19-68ucg-900.webp) ## How the charcoal-grilled marinated pork ribs taste For four people to enjoy a hearty meal, we ordered 1kg of marinated pork ribs. ![Marinated pork ribs grilling on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-20-go56t-900.webp) With a subtle charcoal aroma soaked in and juices bursting out with every bite, the texture was pure art. The marinade wasn't overly spicy or sweet — it had a clean flavor, so everyone could enjoy it down to the very last piece without getting tired of it. ![A perfectly browned piece of marinated rib](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-21-z95ml-900.webp) ![Cold noodles with slushy ice bits](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-22-fqrkt-900.webp) ### Pork galbi with cold buckwheat noodles (mul naengmyeon) Cold noodles are the best sidekick to ribs 💚 The chilled, clear broth with slushy ice bits felt like it perfectly washed away any greasiness left from the meat. Wrapping a well-grilled piece of rib with the noodles was a 100-point combo. ![Soybean paste stew received via Naver reservation service](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-23-j8thu-900.webp) ## Free soybean paste stew with a Naver reservation, plus a bowl of rice Since we'd booked through Naver, they told us to use our free soybean paste stew coupon, so we got to try that too 💛 I wondered if we even deserved such generous treatment — it was so delicious. ![Steamed rice served with a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs-24-1eeal-900.webp) Ordering rice also came with a free side dish haha — I was touched by how thoughtful they were with all these little extras. ## Where it is - Hong-i-jip Ilgwang (홍이집 일광점) - 7 Haesong 1-ro, Ilgwang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 기장군 일광읍 해송1로 7 - 35.2665262, 129.2288911 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%8D%EC%9D%B4%EC%A7%91%20%EC%9D%BC%EA%B4%91%EC%A0%90/@35.2665262,129.2288911,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-doorways/hongijip-ilgwang-charcoal-pork-ribs/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
