Four of us walked in at 7:20pm on a Friday and shared one Jeongwon seasoned galbi platter (1.1kg, 56,000 won), cheoldol doenjang sulbap (beef brisket soybean stew with rice) and mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in broth) to finish, with yangnyeom gejang (seasoned raw crab) among the free side dishes. With free parking and a self-serve bar for side dish refills, Jeongwon Galbi is an easy choice for a family dinner. ## Good to know - **Name**: Jeongwon Galbi Gyeonggi Gwangju Branch - **Address**: 110 Gyeongancheon-ro, 1st–2nd floor, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: 11:00am – 10:00pm - **Break time**: None - **Closed**: Open daily - **Reservations**: Available through Naver Reservation - **Parking**: Free lots in front of and behind the building - **Jeongwon seasoned galbi platter**: 1.1kg, 56,000 won - **Cheoldol doenjang sulbap (beef brisket soybean stew with rice)**: 8,000 won - **Dessert naengmyeon (mul naengmyeon, cold noodles in broth)**: 5,000 won - **Dessert doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew)**: 3,000 won - **Price reference**: ₩56,000 ≈ $40.5 · ₩5,000 ≈ $3.6 · ₩8,000 ≈ $5.8 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* We went to Jeongwon Galbi for a family dinner, and it's a real Gwangju gem! Everyone ate well and left completely full. Parking was easy, the seating across two floors was spacious, and it's a great-value pork galbi place I'd confidently recommend for a family meal out. I had pork galbi, but this Gwangju favorite actually serves a wide range of delicious meats beyond pork galbi — hanwoo (Korean beef), idong galbi, and flower galbi too. ## Where Jeongwon Galbi Gyeonggi Gwangju Branch is, and where to park - Name: Jeongwon Galbi Gyeonggi Gwangju Branch - Address: 110 Gyeongancheon-ro, 1-2F, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - Hours: 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM - Break time: None - Closed: None - Reservations: Available via Naver Reservation - Parking: Free lot in front and behind the building ![Exterior of Jeongwon Galbi Gyeonggi Gwangju Branch on Gyeongancheon-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-01-c4tv0-900.webp) This Gwangju restaurant sits across from the Woorim Pilyu Apartments in Songjeong-dong. There's a wide parking lot both in front of and behind the restaurant, so you can visit without worrying about parking at all. ![Free parking lot around the Jeongwon Galbi building](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-02-un4je-900.webp) ## Walking in at 7:20pm on a Friday: was there a wait? Even with a spacious two-floor hall, this place is popular enough to have waits, so I'd recommend booking through Naver Reservation if you're planning a visit. We walked in around 7:20pm on a Friday and luckily got seated with no wait at all. ![First-floor hall at Jeongwon Galbi with separated tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-03-ui0f8-900.webp) Here's the vibe inside~~~! The tables are all pretty separated from each other, so it never felt crowded — we could just focus on the meal. On top of that, the second floor has private rooms like these, which look perfect for group visits. With plenty of capacity, it's a great Gwangju spot for family gatherings, group meetups, and company dinners alike. ## The Jeongwon Galbi menu and what four of us ordered ![Menu board at Jeongwon Galbi Gyeonggi Gwangju Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-04-1hpub-900.webp) ![Menu page listing hanwoo and beef options](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-05-9p949-900.webp) ![Menu page listing pork dishes at Jeongwon Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-06-n1our-900.webp) ![Menu page listing rice and meal dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-07-1eq3f-900.webp) ![Additional page of the Jeongwon Galbi menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-08-1vibh-900.webp) Here's the Jeongwon Galbi menu. It's packed with great-value options — hanwoo, beef, pork, rice dishes and more. The four of us went with the Jeongwon seasoned galbi platter, cheoldol doenjang sulbap, and naengmyeon for dessert. ![Table set up after ordering at Jeongwon Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-09-1en59-900.webp) ![Full spread of basic side dishes at Jeongwon Galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-10-1vqx4-900.webp) ![Side dish plates served alongside the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-11-vfcbj-900.webp) ## Free side dishes with yangnyeom gejang, plus the self-serve bar Then the table filled up with side dishes! All kinds of banchan that pair well with meat showed up, plus fresh lettuce wraps on the side! ![Seasoned crab served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-12-1wkaq-900.webp) I was especially happy that seasoned crab came included as a basic side — the shell was soft and it was delicious! ![Self-serve bar for side dish refills](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-13-lilpb-900.webp) If any side dish runs low, you can just grab more from the self-serve bar, so refills were easy without having to flag anyone down. ![Jeongwon seasoned galbi platter on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-14-1u537-900.webp) ## The Jeongwon seasoned galbi platter: 1.1kg for 56,000 won And then our Jeongwon seasoned galbi platter arrived. It's a generous 1.1kg for ₩56,000 — really great value. It's pork shoulder galbi coated in a sweet, savory house sauce! You grill it yourself~~! Just cook it over the well-lit charcoal until done. There's a smoke extractor above the grill so the meat smell didn't cling to us and we could eat in comfort. You've gotta roll the seasoned galbi around and really work it while it cooks for the best flavor... you all know this, right? haha ![Seasoned pork galbi grilling to a golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-15-1ceof-1200.webp) Once the meat turns that gorgeous golden brown, ![Close-up of the fully cooked Jeongwon seasoned galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-16-g89qg-900.webp) time to dig in~~~~!! The sweet galbi sauce had soaked in beautifully — even though it's shoulder cut, it wasn't dry at all, just juicy and delicious, the very picture of good galbi. ![A single piece of sauce-coated pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-17-8o0q5-900.webp) ![Seasoned galbi eaten with fresh lettuce wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-18-ta7un-900.webp) Thanks to that, everyone in the family got to enjoy the pork galbi their own way. ![Family table spread with pork galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-19-vldkt-900.webp) ## Mul naengmyeon at 5,000 won and cheoldol doenjang sulbap at 8,000 won For dessert we ordered mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in broth)! It cost ₩5,000, ![Mul naengmyeon ordered for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-20-qkmpu-900.webp) ![Bowl of mul naengmyeon with noodles lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-21-10h6y-900.webp) and the portion was generous and refreshing, really delicious. How do you resist naengmyeon after galbi~~~! Wrap that cold noodle right up in the galbi and eat it now~~!!! ![Eating galbi together with naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-22-1m0lq-900.webp) And this is the cheoldol doenjang sulbap (rice with beef brisket in doenjang sauce)! It was ₩8,000. We also tried the ₩3,000 dessert doenjang jjigae, thinking they'd taste similar, but the sulbap had a much richer flavor while the jjigae was lighter and clearer — the sulbap won out for me. ![Cheoldol doenjang sulbap with beef brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-23-o9aw6-900.webp) The beef brisket was hearty and the rice portion was generous too, so it was a satisfying dish! ## Is Jeongwon Galbi Gyeonggi Gwangju Branch worth it? Final verdict With a generous 1.1kg, the four of us walked out very full! They even had plum tea ready for after the meal, ![Plum tea served after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs-24-x8fyv-900.webp) which helped everything settle nicely ^^ Clean side dishes, sweet and delicious pork galbi, and a comfortable dining atmosphere — overall this was a satisfying visit to Jeongwon Galbi, a Gwangju restaurant I'd recommend. ## Where it is - Jeongwon Galbi Gyeonggi Gwangju Branch (정원갈비 경기광주점) - 110 Gyeongancheon-ro, 1-2F, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 광주시 경안천로 110 1~2층 - 37.415901, 127.2714585 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%95%EC%9B%90%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84%20%EA%B2%BD%EA%B8%B0%EA%B4%91%EC%A3%BC%EC%A0%90/@37.415901,127.2714585,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@yeoju-riverside-tray/jeongwon-galbi-gwangju-friday-dinner-pork-ribs/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
