Changwon Sangnam-dong BBQ with 500g pork platter: Gogit-ri 88beonji

I have no idea why I'm craving meat so much every evening lately. There are days when I look up dinner options and it just ends with "okay, let's eat meat today!"

This time I went to Gogit-ri 88beonji in Sangnam-dong, Seongsan-gu, Changwon. I found it while searching for BBQ spots in Sangnam-dong, and the aged meat plus charcoal-grill combo caught my eye.

They also have an assorted platter with pork belly, pork neck, and gabrisal all together, which made it a good pick for a day when I wanted to eat a variety of cuts evenly. Let me walk through the parking, the menu, and the vibe of the place.

Gogit-ri 88beonji Changwon Sangnam Branch / Address: 1st floor, unit 101, 10 Madimi-ro 56beon-gil, Seongsan-gu, Changwon, South Korea

Where is Gogit-ri 88beonji in Sangnam-dong, and where do you park?

Gogit-ri 88beonji is located at 1st floor, unit 101, 10 Madimi-ro 56beon-gil, Seongsan-gu, Changwon. It's on the 1st floor of Unam Building in Sangnam-dong, in front of Moran Women's Hospital, so it's not too hard to find using nearby landmarks.

And if you're driving there, parking is probably the first thing you want to know.

You can park at Real Parking Lot. Sangnam-dong gets a lot of dinner reservations in the evening, so it's a relief to know the parking spot in advance. If you're heading to Sangnam-dong restaurants by car like me, it's worth checking the Real Parking Lot location ahead of time.

Aged pork over charcoal, pre-grilled at the table

The first thing that stands out at Gogit-ri 88beonji is the aged meat and charcoal grill. According to the store, the meat goes through a two-week aging process, and the deep heat of the charcoal fire is used to bring out the meat's flavor. The thick, pre-grilled pork belly, pork neck, and gabrisal are the signature feature.

If you love meat, you often prefer eating a bit of several cuts rather than just one type of pork belly, right? I'm the type who agonizes over "pork belly or pork neck?" and ends up ordering both, so having an assorted menu really takes some of that decision fatigue away.

So if you want to eat several cuts at once, this is a menu combination worth keeping in mind when looking for a Sangnam-dong BBQ restaurant.

What comes in the 500g Gogit-ri Assorted A for 45,000 won?

One of Gogit-ri 88beonji's signature menu items is the Gogit-ri Assorted A 500g. It consists of pork belly, pork neck, and gabrisal, priced at ₩45,000. Since three cuts come together on one plate, it's a great menu for comparing the texture and flavor of each cut as you eat.

Pork belly is a must-have at any Korean BBQ place, and pork neck is a cut many people go for because of its thick, chewy texture. Adding gabrisal on top makes the table feel a lot more abundant than if you'd ordered just one cut.

Six sauces, from Maldon salt to hairtail innards jeotgal

And the sauces you dip your meat in matter more than you'd think.

Gogit-ri 88beonji has several sauces ready, including Maldon salt, myeolchi jeotgal (fermented anchovy sauce), makjang, wasabi, salted pollock roe, and hairtail innards jeotgal. Even the same pork belly tastes different dipped in salt versus wasabi versus myeolchi jeotgal, so it's fun to try each combination.

It's that feeling of "oh, this combo is good!" and then reaching for a different sauce over and over. The meat itself matters, of course, but having this many sauces to pair with it makes the meal a bit more entertaining.

Is the 5,000-won old-school lunchbox worth adding?

When you're eating meat non-stop, at some point you start craving rice. That's when the old-school lunchbox at Gogit-ri 88beonji comes in handy. It's ₩5,000, and as the name suggests, it captures that nostalgic packed-lunch vibe.

A bite of meat, a spoonful of rice, another bite of meat — before you know it, the plate is completely empty. If you're the type who also looks for naengmyeon (cold noodles) or a rice dish at a BBQ restaurant, the old-school lunchbox is worth checking out too!!!

Personally, having a rice dish alongside meat makes the meal feel a lot more filling and satisfying, so I was glad this menu item existed~?

Group room and two 85-inch TVs: good for a team dinner?

At a BBQ restaurant, the food matters, but the seating and space matter just as much. Gogit-ri 88beonji offers group bookings and has group rooms available. The tables are spaced generously, so it works well for gatherings of friends, family meals, or work dinners with a larger group.

One thing that stood out in particular is the two 85-inch TVs installed in the store. It's a space where you can watch a baseball game or other sports while eating meat, which seems great for enjoying the atmosphere during a group gathering.

When looking for a work-dinner spot in Sangnam-dong, you end up checking not just the food but also the seat count and table layout, so this is worth noting if that matters to you. Pet-friendly seating is also listed as available. That said, I'd recommend confirming pet-friendly seating and usage details with the restaurant before visiting.
