Marinated pork ribs with radish salad at Gwangalli BBQ: Haean Sutbul

I heard there was a Gwangalli BBQ restaurant near the beach with insanely good pork ribs, so I went to check it out! Let me introduce you to Haean Sutbul Galbi Gwangalli Main Branch right away~~!

Where is Haean Sutbul Galbi Gwangalli Main Branch, and what is it like inside?

Haean Sutbul Galbi Gwangalli Main Branch is right in front of Gwangalli Beach! Come out of Exit 3 of Geumnyeonsan Station and walk straight toward Gwangalli Beach. Being a well-known spot in a tourist area, it had signage in multiple languages haha

There was also a menu board outside, which was nice for checking things out before going in! It had Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese menus, so it seemed really convenient for tourists too~~

The inside was really spacious! The chairs were covered with Haean Sutbul fabric, which gave it a nice sense of unity haha. The retro interior gave it that solid local-favorite feel.

What is on the menu at Haean Sutbul Galbi?

This is the menu board. The menu is organized into sets, meats, side dishes, meals, and extra banchan. The meats are divided into beef marinated ribs and pork marinated/fresh ribs, so you can order according to your taste! We're a pork marinated rib household, so we ordered the grade 1 chilled pork marinated rib set for three haha

Grade 1 chilled marinated pork ribs for 3, pork kimchi stew and haean mul-milmyeon

From how to eat it deliciously to the full manual for Haean Sutbul Galbi Gwangalli Main Branch! I read it thoroughly haha. Ribs + barley shrimp salt, ribs + radish salad — noted, noted

These are the basic side dishes and sauces. Since japchae came as a basic side, I as a japchae addict refilled it twice ,,,, it was so good I almost filled up on japchae before the meat even came out ,,;;

This is the grade 1 chilled pork marinated ribs. Just looking at it, the seasoning looked amazing and seemed to have soaked well into the meat.

They grilled it right on the charcoal fire~~ they also grilled the potatoes and king oyster mushrooms that came with it.

Garlic joins in too! You know ribs need to be flipped and checked often since the seasoning burns easily, right!

They grilled it up golden and delicious. Being ribs, they cooked pretty fast haha

I tried the rib + radish salad combo I'd noted earlier for my first bite, and the radish salad was so tasty! Ribs + radish salad is a foolproof combo, they went together so well.

How big is the pork kimchi stew portion?

I couldn't resist and also ordered the pork kimchi stew. The portion was pretty large!

Inside, the kimchi and meat were plentiful, and above all, the stew was spicy and so delicious! It seemed like they used good-quality kimchi haha

The grilled pork tail that comes with a receipt review

This is the tail cut we received from a Naver receipt review! They say it's like an upgraded version of pork skin, and the texture actually reminded me a bit of the collagen part of jokbal (braised pig's trotters).

Once grilled, it's slightly thicker than pork skin, that kind of feel. This was my first time trying tail cut so I was pretty excited about it haha

If you like pork skin or jokbal, you'll probably love this! You can get a taste of it through a Naver receipt review, so definitely take part and try it haha

Rib lettuce wraps and haean mul-milmyeon noodles

Back to the main meal — it wouldn't be right to skip the rib wrap haha. Taking a big full bite here

This is the haean mul-milmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles in broth). If you want to taste both the spicy mixed and the broth versions, ordering the water-style milmyeon is the best choice!

The seasoning was so good that even though I was full, I kept eating more. Eating it together with the ribs is truly the best ,,, if you're looking for a great Gwangalli BBQ restaurant, I highly recommend Haean Sutbul Galbi Gwangalli Main Branch!
