It's a storied restaurant that has been running for four generations since 1981. ![Interior of the old-school meat restaurant, running since 1981](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-02-mq9gh-900.webp) ## Checklist before you visit - ✅ If visiting during peak meal times, check whether you need to put your name on a waiting list - ✅ Order the signature marinated pork ribs first - ✅ Don't forget to ask for the free dessert naengmyeon after your meat meal ![Seating at Anhung Galbi Main Branch with table set for a meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-03-uqf51-m-900.webp) Ever found yourself agonizing over "where should we eat meat tonight?" on a weekend evening, only to end up disappointed at some mediocre chain? There are plenty of pork ribs restaurants, but places that deliver both real marinade flavor and generous warmth at the same time are surprisingly hard to find. Anhung Galbi Main Branch, beloved for a long time as an old-school meat restaurant, can put an end to your meat-restaurant wandering once and for all. ![A full spread of banchan at Anhung Galbi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-04-s52o3-900.webp) ## Banchan — scallion salad and marinated crab Every single one of the side dishes was delicious. ![Scallion salad eaten together with pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-05-12g5t-900.webp) This scallion salad is a magic trick. Why can't I ever get this flavor at home? It seems like it would pair well with pork belly too. ![Kimchi side dish made with fall napa cabbage](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-06-q9mea-900.webp) Fall seems to be coming — the napa cabbage is starting to taste right. ![Marinated crab served as a banchan at the ribs restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-07-fbx0k-900.webp) A ribs restaurant just isn't complete without marinated crab. ## Handmade pork ribs grilled over charcoal ![Charcoal brazier placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-08-1wipr-1200.webp) The moment they brought out quality charcoal, I knew instantly — this place is the real deal. ![Raw handmade marinated pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-09-oq1jc-900.webp) Not store-bought — handmade pork ribs made in-house. There are two options, pork ribs and marinated pork neck, but since I'm a pork ribs person, I ordered the pork ribs. ![Marinated pork ribs placed over the charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-10-rrnqz-900.webp) ![Close-up of pork ribs while grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-11-wtl75-900.webp) ![Marinated pork ribs cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-12-8k0pp-900.webp) After a period of patient waiting... grilled to a nice golden brown. ![Pork ribs grilled to a golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-13-4siqr-900.webp) Even before tasting it, the cut and color of the meat practically spell out 'delicious.' ![Picking up a piece of grilled pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-14-9oli5-900.webp) ### Chewy texture without relying on tenderizer Second round, wrapped in a lettuce leaf. When too much tenderizer is used on pork ribs, that chewy bite completely disappears — but Anhung Galbi, an old-school meat restaurant, is different. That chewiness is still there. The texture is really good. ![Pork ribs wrapped in lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-15-h44w9-900.webp) I love eating it wrapped, so I go for one more bite, with a shot of soju poured in too. ![A glass of soju alongside the pork ribs spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-16-10q3d-900.webp) When I want something spicy-sweet, a bite of the marinated crab hits the spot perfectly. ![A spicy-sweet bite of marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-17-1ku40-900.webp) The free doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) means I'm never missing a soup. ![Free doenjang jjigae served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-18-1yphp-900.webp) Added one more portion for round two. ![An extra portion of pork ribs grilled for round two](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-19-e3plh-900.webp) Garlic, radish salad, pork ribs, lettuce = straight into my mouth. ## One free naengmyeon per person ![Free dessert water naengmyeon, one per person](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-20-ss455-900.webp) They serve just the right amount of naengmyeon (cold noodles) for a palate cleanser, and it's free. The pork ribs were already amazing, and then they give you noodles on top of that...! The water naengmyeon broth is so refreshing it makes the ribs go down smoothly. ![Spicy mixed naengmyeon wrapped with pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-21-1018b-900.webp) Spicy mixed naengmyeon wrapped up with pork ribs — you know that unwritten rule, right? ![Empty dishes and kimchi plate after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs/anheung-galbi-jangan-dong-pork-ribs-22-up5ua-900.webp) Ending today with a clean plate of kimchi, as always. If you want to enjoy delicious meat and a warm atmosphere with people you love, don't hesitate to visit! ## Frequently asked questions ### Is parking available?
