Icheon Terminal Korean restaurant, weekend lunch set: Neul Gogi Jip

Today I want to introduce a Korean food favorite in Icheon, a beloved galbi and meat restaurant: Neul Gogi Jip Icheon Main Branch (늘고기집 이천본점).

Where is Neul Gogi Jip Icheon Main Branch, and is there parking?

A Korean restaurant run by a certified master chef

Neul Gogi Jip Icheon Main Branch is run by Kim Kyung-rim, a certified master of Korean cuisine, and is a well-known Korean food spot in Icheon.

I heard he won the grand prize (National Assembly Speaker's Award) for master Korean chefs in Korea ✨ Seeing the sign that read 'the best charcoal galbi place in Icheon,' I could really feel the owner's confidence 😊

Knowing this place shows off over 30 years of know-how researching meat made me even more excited 😄

Main hall and private rooms: book ahead on weekends

The restaurant has a clean interior with a huge hall and plenty of seats, making it perfect for family gatherings or group dinners.

There are private rooms for 6 to 24 people, great for a more private meal.

I visited on a weekend, and there were really a lot of reservations. If you're visiting with a group, I'd recommend booking ahead.

Lunch special: soy crab and jeyuk set meal, 24,900 won

I visited with one other person, so we ordered the soy crab & pork jeyuk set at ₩24,900 × 2 💛

This soy crab and pork jeyuk set is a lunch-special-only menu, available daily from 11:00 to 14:30 — including weekends!

Ordering through the kiosk was easy and convenient.

What's on the self-serve ssam vegetable bar

✔️You can freely help yourself to ssam vegetables and side dishes at the self-serve bar.

Being able to pile on as much ssam veg as you want made this ssam lover very happy ♥️ There's even steamed cabbage!

You can also load up on kimchi, pickles, peppers, garlic, and ssamjang, so even just wraps alone can fill you up deliciously.

Such a generous spread!! Right after grabbing our ssam vegetables, the full table setting was already ready 😊

Stone-pot rice with scorched crust and the side dishes

We set aside some stone pot rice and poured in water to make scorched rice (nurungji). The side dishes were varied and neat — there were seasoned greens and namul, and the seasonal banchan were absolutely delicious 😋

And then the mains — soy sauce marinated crab and pork jeyuk! I really meant to eat light, but there was so much good food that I ended up eating a ton (っ °Д °;)っ

Soy-marinated raw crab (ganjang gejang)

First off... the soy crab... it was insane 😋 It wasn't salty or fishy at all, so you could eat the crab even without rice. That's how mild and delicious it was.

The roe was packed full and the meat came off easily in long pieces. So good 😂 White rice with soy crab — always the right combo ♥️

Beef tendon doenjang stew

The tendon doenjang stew that came with the meal! It was loaded with tendon, plus plenty of tofu and vegetables — this stew alone could finish off a bowl of rice! It kept simmering on the table so we could eat it hot until the very end 😊

Jeyuk: spicy stir-fried pork

The pork jeyuk portion was really generous — it had a strong charred flavor and was stir-fried well with onions, so I kept wrapping ssam after ssam ✨ All the side dishes were clean and refined, so it's a taste your parents would love too.

The set was such a great combo that we ate until we were stuffed and full. If you're torn between jeyuk and soy crab, I recommend the combo set that includes both 👍

Dessert ice cream and the free corkage coupon

Make sure to have the ice cream for dessert ♥️ If you reserve in advance through Naver, you can also use a free corkage coupon for one bottle 😊

Is the soy crab and jeyuk set worth it?

Neul Gogi Jip Icheon Main Branch was a true Korean food gem, a real meat lover's spot in Icheon — even the side dishes felt refined and made with care. That day, there were many tables of families out with their parents, and it really is a Korean restaurant with something for everyone, no matter age or taste. It's about 10 minutes from Icheon Simmons Terrace and about 10 minutes from Icheon Terme Den, so it also makes a great outing spot!! Definitely worth a visit ♥️
