# Late 8 p.m. galbi dinner for two in Yangju: Manpo Galbi Main Branch - By Haeun Jo (https://superchart.com/en/@uijeongbu-early-broth/) - Written Sep 20, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yangju, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@uijeongbu-early-broth/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@uijeongbu-early-broth/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/index.md) ## In short Manpo Galbi Yangju Main Branch is a charcoal-grill galbi (Korean rib BBQ) restaurant on Songnang-ro in Yangju, Gyeonggi. Two diners arrived on a weekend at 8 p.m. and grilled 2 servings of fresh beef short ribs and 2 servings of handmade pork ribs, with yukhoe (beef tartare) and yukjeon (pan-fried beef) brought out for free and bibim naengmyeon (cold noodles) ordered for ₩0 through the Tabling order system. Score-cut fresh beef ribs, generous free extras and a large parking lot were the lasting impressions of Manpo Galbi Yangju Main Branch. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 65 Songnang-ro, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do (Manpo Galbi) - **Hours**: 11:00 – 22:00 - **Parking**: Available (large parking lot) - **Ordered**: Fresh beef short ribs (saeng so-galbi) 2 servings, handmade pork ribs (handon suje-galbi) 2 servings, bibim naengmyeon x2 - **Naengmyeon**: Can be ordered for ₩0 through the Tabling order system - **Free extras**: Yukhoe and yukjeon (not listed as an official standing service), ppeongtwigi puffed rice crisps and soft-serve ice cream *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* - 📍Address: 65 Songnang-ro, 1st floor, Manpo Galbi, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 📌Hours: 11:00 – 22:00 - 🅿️Parking: Available ![Manpo Galbi Yangju Main Branch signature photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-01-8b02e-1200.webp) ## Manpo Galbi Yangju Main Branch at 8 p.m. on a weekend I went to Yangju with a friend for a weekend outing and looked for a nearby restaurant, which led me to Manpo Galbi! I expected it to be crowded since it was the weekend, but since we came a bit late (8 p.m.), it wasn't as packed as I thought! ![Weekend 8 p.m. visit to Manpo Galbi Yangju Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-02-1artf-900.webp) This visit was made with a Superchart discount, but I'll write honestly based on the food I ate and the atmosphere of the restaurant! ![Manpo Galbi Yangju Main Branch storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-03-clmf6-900.webp) ## Parking at Manpo Galbi: a large lot 🅿️ ![Manpo Galbi Yangju Main Branch's wide parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-04-acedo-900.webp) ![Spacious parking space at Manpo Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-05-7lhrz-900.webp) I usually eat in Seoul or Incheon, so I have a habit of checking parking space first when I visit a restaurant. Manpo Galbi's lot is spacious, which I liked right away. Parking can be stressful at galbi restaurants on weekends, but here there was plenty of room to pull in comfortably😝 (With such a large lot, I think you could park without worry even during busy hours!) ## Free yukhoe and yukjeon 🥓 The name Manpo Galbi apparently means "giving generously." ![Manpo Galbi's basic table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-06-1i0zq-900.webp) Living up to its name, the free basics that arrived at the start were already a bit impressive!!! Yukhoe (beef tartare) and yukjeon (pan-fried beef) came out as a free service. ![Yukhoe and yukjeon served as a free item](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-07-1eqrp-900.webp) I've barely ever gotten yukhoe or yukjeon as a free service at a galbi restaurant, so for a second I wondered if we'd ordered something by mistake — I was pretty surprised they gave it to us free🙇‍♂️ The yukhoe was seasoned a bit lighter than the yukhoe I usually eat, but that made it mild and clean rather than sharp, and the meat quality was good too! The yukjeon had thicker slices of beef than I expected. Since it was a free item I didn't expect much, but the beef was fairly thick and had a nice texture! (Please note this isn't officially confirmed as a standing service item, so it may vary by visit) ## The side dishes at Manpo Galbi 🍲 The basic side dishes were also clean overall, and among them the doraji-muchim (seasoned bellflower root) and seasoned ssamjang stood out to me. ![Doraji-muchim and seasoned ssamjang side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-08-fhlay-900.webp) The doraji-muchim went well with the meat, and the seasoned ssamjang paired well too! ![Plate of side dishes eaten with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-09-19h01-900.webp) The main dish matters most at a galbi restaurant, but these side dishes are the kind you keep reaching for anyway. That day I ended up eating the doraji-muchim and seasoned ssamjang pretty often. ## Fresh beef short ribs, 2 servings 🥩 Since there were two of us, we ordered 2 servings of raw galbi and 2 servings of handmade pork rib. The raw galbi that came out first — you could tell from the color of the meat alone that the quality was good. ![Manpo Galbi raw galbi, 2 servings, table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-10-4jjsg-900.webp) What I especially liked was that it had score cuts made in just the right places for charcoal grilling. ![Raw galbi with score cuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-11-1u9w0-900.webp) ![Raw galbi placed on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-12-1byca-900.webp) Beef on a charcoal grill can easily end up only browned on the outside or burnt, but with the score cuts it was easy to grill evenly. Grilling it myself made me realize how much this kind of prep matters. ![Charcoal-grilled raw galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-13-13166-900.webp) The charcoal-grilled raw galbi kept its juices well, so I'd recommend eating it with just a dip of salt to taste the meat itself!! ## Handmade pork ribs (handon suje-galbi) 🍖 The handmade pork rib was also fairly tender. It was pre-seasoned, so it had a nice sweetish flavor, and the meat wasn't tough. ![Manpo Galbi handmade pork rib, 2 servings](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-14-r163f-900.webp) ![Charcoal-grilled seasoned handmade pork rib](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-15-1bqb7-900.webp) That said, the raw galbi personally stood out more to me that day, so the handmade pork rib was relatively less memorable. Still, if you like tender seasoned ribs, this seems like a solid choice🫡 ## Bibim naengmyeon for ₩0 As we wrapped up the meal, I checked the tableting order to order naengmyeon (cold noodles). ![Naengmyeon shown as ₩0 on the tableting order](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-16-w55my-900.webp) The naengmyeon turned out to be orderable for ₩0. So we ordered 2 bibim naengmyeon to have with the meat — the bibim naengmyeon had the sauce and broth mixed in a fairly wet style, not too thick or dry, with just the right seasoning. ![Self-made Hamhung-style bibim naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-17-hgm4u-900.webp) The noodles felt softer than typical naengmyeon, probably because it's self-made Hamhung-style naengmyeon?! Rather than a chewy noodle, it had a texture that broke softly when chewed, which I thought worked well eaten with the meat or as a finish! ## Soft-serve ice cream to finish 🍦 After finishing the meal and paying, I noticed a corner of the restaurant with ppeongtwigi (puffed rice snack) and soft-serve ice cream. It was nice to be able to finish off the meat with ice cream. I especially think this corner would be great for families visiting with kids. ![Puffed rice snack and soft-serve dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-18-zuufj-900.webp) ![Self-serve soft-serve ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-19-1bho0-900.webp) ## How big is the dining room? 🏟 The restaurant itself is fairly spacious and the tables aren't cramped together. ![Manpo Galbi interior with wide table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs-20-7lsur-900.webp) It worked well for two people dining, but I think it would also suit a family outing or a work dinner with a larger group🙇‍♂️ ## Verdict on Manpo Galbi Yangju Main Branch 📌 Overall, the meat quality and the generous free sides are what stuck with me. From yukhoe and yukjeon to the naengmyeon, we got to enjoy a lot as free service, plus well-trimmed, good-quality meat. I'm not recommending this because I got a Superchart discount — considering the service and meat quality, if you're looking for a good galbi restaurant in Yangju, this one's worth checking out. ## Where it is - Manpo Galbi Yangju Main Branch (만포갈비 양주본점) - 65 Songnang-ro, 1st floor, Manpo Galbi, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 양주시 송랑로 65 1층, 만포갈비 - 37.7912149, 127.0873715 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%8C%ED%8F%AC%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84%20%EC%96%91%EC%A3%BC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.7912149,127.0873715,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@uijeongbu-early-broth/manpo-galbi-yangju-late-dinner-beef-ribs/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
