The order was udae galbi (thick-cut beef short ribs) for two, seared first over straw fire and grilled start to finish by staff at the table, served with black sesame salt, angelica pesto and neungi mushroom pesto. Wide table spacing and plenty of large-group seating make Jipbul Taebaek an easy pick for a Dongtan gathering or company dinner. ## Good to know - **Address**: 11-8 Jisan 2-gil, 1st floor, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Daily 12:00–23:00 - **Last order**: 22:30 - **Ordered**: Udae galbi (thick-cut beef short ribs) for two - **Parking**: Parking in front of the restaurant, public roadside lots nearby, 2 hours covered at Deokhwa P Tower paid lot (2-minute walk) - **Perks**: Free guacamole tortilla with a Naver reservation or review; complimentary beef tartare cake on your birthday *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* Today I want to introduce a place I visited myself and completely fell in love with the meat at~ It's 'Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan Flagship Branch,' already word-of-mouth famous as a Yeongcheon-dong, Dongtan restaurant! I posted about the Ingye branch before, so this time I went to the flagship branch too haha ![Exterior of Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan Flagship Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-01-c0vi5-1200.webp) ![Vertical photo of the entrance to Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan Flagship Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-02-7xkjz-966.webp) ## Where is Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan, and where do you park? Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan Flagship Branch is at 11-8 Jisan 2-gil, 1st floor, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, open daily 12:00–23:00, last order 22:30. At the time of my visit, September 25 (Friday) was posted as closed for Chuseok. There's parking right in front of the restaurant, and there's also a public roadside lot right nearby so parking wasn't a problem at all. If that's full, there's a paid lot at Deokhwa P Tower two minutes on foot that gives you 2 hours free. ## Roomy tables that suit a group dinner ![Interior of Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan Flagship Branch with wide table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-03-qv45k-966.webp) ![Dining hall at Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan Flagship Branch with large-group seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-04-14rbe-966.webp) Walking inside, even though it's a barbecue place, the air wasn't stuffy at all — really comfortable. And I loved that the tables were spaced far apart so we weren't bothered by the next table's conversation and could eat cozily on our own. There's also plenty of large-group seating, so I'd recommend it for a Dongtan company dinner too! ![Menu board at Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan Flagship Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-05-m61o6-966.webp) ![Menu board listing uedae galbi and straw-fire seared dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-06-1udot-966.webp) Of course the main event at Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan Flagship Branch is the uedae galbi! Besides uedae galbi, the menu has various beef and pork cuts pre-seared over a straw fire, plus good side dishes to pair with the meat. We ordered uedae galbi for two. ## Udae galbi with a gentle straw-fire smoke ![Table setting with uedae galbi pre-seared over straw fire](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-07-1ncxg-966.webp) ![Uedae galbi for two served on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-08-14uth-966.webp) I ordered the 'uedae galbi,' the signature dish of Jipbul Taebaek, a Yeongcheon-dong, Dongtan restaurant~ True to the name Jipbul Taebaek, the meat comes pre-seared once over a straw fire, and the subtle smoky straw aroma that spread the moment it hit the table really hit my nose. You know that feeling of already knowing it'll be delicious before you even taste it, right? Haha! It's just an impossibly good-looking visual that couldn't possibly taste bad!! ## Staff grill the beef ribs from start to finish ![Table of side dishes set before the meat arrives](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-09-1ktkn-966.webp) Before the meat arrives, the side dishes are set up — japchae (glass noodle stir-fry), green onion kimchi, radish salad, and other banchan, plus sauces that go so well with the meat: black sesame salt, angelica pesto, and mushroom pesto. ![Plate of japchae and green onion kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-10-19kaa-966.webp) ![Black sesame salt and pesto sauce spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-11-rdzud-966.webp) ![Uedae galbi grilling on the tabletop grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-12-16dai-966.webp) Another reason this place is loved as a Yeongcheon-dong, Dongtan restaurant is the 'grilling service'! Meat on the bone is notoriously tricky to grill, but the staff member grilled it from start to finish without burning it, and made it taste amazing haha. Even someone with clumsy hands like me could eat with total peace of mind, and nobody in our group had to struggle with grilling — we just chatted comfortably with chopsticks in hand, feeling totally pampered! ![A piece of uedae galbi grilled by the staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-13-1c84f-966.webp) ![Uedae galbi dipped in black sesame salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-14-1d5ep-966.webp) ![Fully cooked uedae galbi cut into pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-15-1pxrm-966.webp) ![Uedae galbi paired with the sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-16-blcr3-966.webp) Once the meat is cooked, they tell you which combination to try. My absolute favorite was the black sesame salt!! I popped a well-cooked piece of uedae galbi into my mouth and... wow, the phrase 'melts in your mouth' really fit perfectly! The more you chew, the more the juices burst out — pure happiness, japchae-style. ## Small tips before you visit Jipbul Taebaek ![Sign explaining visit perks at Jipbul Taebaek Dongtan Flagship Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-17-ll7mz-966.webp) ![Photo explaining the Naver reservation perk](https://img.superchart.com/images/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling/jipbul-taebaek-dongtan-woodae-galbi-grilling-18-7ptxm-966.webp) Here's a little tip for anyone planning a visit!
