On a packed weekday evening, four servings of marinated galbi came grilled at the table by staff, with scallion kimchi, angelica pickles and one baby wild ginseng root per person, and a doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) to finish. The marinade was neither too sweet nor too salty and the pork was tender, so both plain and marinated galbi are worth ordering at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi. ## Good to know - **Order**: Marinated pork galbi, 4 servings, plus doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) - **Side dishes**: Scallion salad, white kimchi, scallion kimchi, kimchi, kimchi pancake, wrap vegetables, steamed egg, angelica pickles - **Complimentary**: One baby wild ginseng root per person, served with the wrap vegetables - **Grilling**: Grilled at the table by the staff - **Visit time**: Weekday evening; the restaurant was full - **Location**: 1st floor, 15-4 Choryang-ro, Dong-gu, Busan *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ![Marinated galbi table setting at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-01-tt9lz-900.webp) Choryang Hyeongje Galbi 🥩 A Choryang pork rib restaurant known for its tender marinated galbi. I suddenly had a huge craving for galbi (grilled ribs), so I went back to this Choryang restaurant! I'd visited once before and tried both the plain and marinated galbi, and remembered loving it so much that this time I didn't even hesitate to come back haha 😆 ![Choryang Hyeongje Galbi storefront on the Choryang galbi alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-02-5tt28-900.webp) ![Choryang Hyeongje Galbi fully booked on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-03-agb52-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* ## Full house at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi even on a weekday evening Choryang Hyeongje Galbi is a restaurant on Choryang's galbi alley that's packed even on weekday evenings. The day I visited was a weekday evening, and the place was already completely full when I arrived. I guess it's true — the good places are busy no matter what day it is. Luckily, one table opened up right as I arrived, so I got seated right away 🙌 I was worried I'd have to wait just to eat some galbi, but the timing worked out and I got to start my meal in a great mood. ![Seated at the table before ordering at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-04-ckxet-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* ## Ordering four servings of marinated pork galbi What I ordered at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi that day was four servings of marinated galbi. As soon as I sat down I was debating the menu, but that day I was especially craving marinated galbi, so I went with four servings. Choryang Hyeongje Galbi's plain galbi is delicious too, but personally it's also a great spot for when you're specifically craving the marinated version, so I waited with high expectations. ![Ordering four servings of marinated galbi at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-05-v6o02-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* ## What side dishes come with the galbi? The basic side dishes at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi came out generously — scallion salad, white kimchi, scallion kimchi, kimchi, kimchi pancake, lettuce wraps, steamed egg, angelica pickles, and more 😊 Soon after sitting down, the side dishes started arriving one by one. ![Basic side dishes: scallion salad, white kimchi, scallion kimchi, kimchi pancake, steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-06-1crvi-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* At a meat restaurant, it's already satisfying if just the meat is good, but personally I love it even more when the side dishes are delicious too, and Choryang Hyeongje Galbi had a great variety to go with the meal. The scallion kimchi in particular was really good! It went well with the marinated galbi and with rice too, and I honestly lost count of how many refills I asked for 😂 ![Scallion kimchi refilled multiple times](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-07-osfvm-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* ### Baby wild ginseng served with the wrap vegetables And here's something a little special! At Choryang Hyeongje Galbi, they gave everyone one root of baby wild ginseng along with the lettuce wraps, one per person 🌿 I ate mine before starting on the meat, and it gave me the feeling of a proper health boost before starting on a drink haha. ![Baby wild ginseng served with the lettuce wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-08-heqjn-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* It's not a side dish you commonly see at meat restaurants, so it left more of an impression. There were also angelica pickles, and later when I tried them together with the marinated galbi, they went really well together! ![Angelica pickles that pair well with marinated galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-09-1uo4g-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* ## Staff grill the galbi for you at the table At Choryang Hyeongje Galbi, once the meat arrived, a staff member carefully grilled it for us. Marinated galbi can actually be a bit stressful to grill yourself, since you have to watch the heat closely or the sauce can burn the meat quickly. ![Marinated galbi grilling on the tabletop grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-10-1hf7g-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* But since the staff grilled it for us at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi, we got to just relax and chat while waiting 😊 Watching the galbi turn a nice golden brown, I thought — yeah, coming here for galbi was a good call. ![Marinated galbi turning golden brown at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-11-1nvyt-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* ## How does the marinated galbi taste? Not just sweet and salty The marinated galbi at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi had just the right balance of sauce. Marinated galbi at other places is often too sweet or too salty, but here it wasn't overly strong in either direction — the kind of flavor that just keeps you reaching for more. ![A well-grilled piece of marinated galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-12-16lss-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* Above all, the meat itself was tender, so the more you chewed, the more the sauce blended in nicely. Each well-cooked piece of galbi practically melted in my mouth, and I loved that texture so much 🥰 ### Marinated galbi with white rice: the combo to order You really can't skip white rice when eating marinated galbi. I put a piece of golden-grilled marinated galbi right on top of the white rice and tried it together, and that combination was fantastic. It wasn't that the sauce was salty and made me reach for rice — it was just that marinated galbi and warm white rice go incredibly well together on their own. ![Marinated galbi placed on top of white rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-13-a9x17-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* I enjoyed it in all sorts of ways — putting a piece of galbi on a lettuce wrap with scallion kimchi or angelica pickles, or piling it on top of white rice 😋 I especially loved the combo of angelica pickles with marinated galbi!! ![Marinated galbi paired with angelica pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-14-ohjx1-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* The distinct aroma and clean taste of the angelica pickles met the sweetish marinated galbi and cut through the richness while refreshing the palate. Eating galbi continuously can get a bit heavy after a while, but having such a variety of side dishes to pair it with meant I could enjoy it deliciously all the way to the end. ![A lettuce wrap loaded with galbi and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-15-3t8do-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* ## Finishing the meal with doenjang jjigae After eating so much meat, it felt like a waste to just leave, so I added an order of doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi. The stew was packed with mushrooms and tofu, and the broth was refreshingly clean — perfect for wrapping up a meal of grilled meat. A warm spoonful of the stew with rice went down so easily that even though I was already pretty full, I kept going back for more 😂 There's just something about finishing off a meat meal with doenjang jjigae that makes the whole meal feel complete! ![Doenjang jjigae with mushrooms and tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-16-edbqi-1200.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* ## Plain or marinated: why Choryang Hyeongje Galbi is worth the trip Honestly, the reason I went back to Choryang Hyeongje Galbi was because of how much I enjoyed both the plain and marinated galbi on my previous visit. It's not easy to find a place where both are equally good, but personally, Choryang Hyeongje Galbi satisfied me with both menus! ![A full spread of marinated galbi and side dishes at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-17-8z68v-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* This time I was mainly craving marinated galbi so I focused on that, but next time I'd like to order the plain galbi again too haha 😆 It made total sense why the place was fully booked even on a weekday evening — this is a Choryang pork rib restaurant worth the hype. Having the staff grill for us was convenient, the side dishes were varied, and above all, the galbi itself was tender and delicious, so I left the meal fully satisfied. ![The table at Choryang Hyeongje Galbi after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner-18-6mgc8-900.webp) *Busan Choryang pork rib restaurant near Busan Station, recommended: Choryang Hyeongje Galbi* If you're ever in Choryang craving galbi, I highly recommend this Choryang restaurant, Choryang Hyeongje Galbi! And if you're like me and enjoy both plain and marinated galbi, definitely try both ❤️ ## Where it is - Choryang Hyeongje Galbi (초량형제갈비) - 1st floor, 15-4 Choryang-ro, Dong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 동구 초량로 15-4 1층 - 35.1191556, 129.0398887 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B4%88%EB%9F%89%ED%98%95%EC%A0%9C%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84/@35.1191556,129.0398887,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@soap-dish-pages/choryang-brothers-galbi-marinated-ribs-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
