Ansan Korean BBQ with LA galbi set: Yangsimso Ansan Gojan

Lately, my partner and I have been really into meat—especially LA galbi! We were looking for somewhere to eat beef in Ansan and ended up visiting Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch (양심소 안산고잔점).

I already love LA galbi, so the second I saw the menu, I thought, this is it. A platter with 500g of LA galbi, 120g of yukhoe (Korean beef tartare), and doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew) for ₩54,000...? Considering restaurant prices these days, the set itself looked so good. Once we actually tried it, there was truly a lot of food—and above all, the fresh LA galbi was so delicious that I was happy..🤎

Parking and reservations

If you are driving, use the B1 parking garage in the Fraum City building; free parking is available for up to two hours❗️ If the building garage is full, you can use a nearby public parking lot, so keep that in mind!

A spacious, comfortable restaurant with private rooms

As soon as we went in, I was surprised that the restaurant was even bigger than expected. Even though it is a barbecue restaurant, it was clean and comfortable overall, so we never felt cramped at the table. There are even separate private rooms farther inside!

It seemed like a nice choice for a family meal, taking your parents out, or a company dinner with a group 💓 The staff were kind throughout our meal too, so we could enjoy eating the meat in a great mood :)

What comes with the ₩54,000 LA galbi platter

The menu we had that day was the ₩54,000 LA galbi platter with 500g of ribs, plus 120g of yukhoe and doenjang-jjigae. It is not just LA galbi—you also get tartare and stew, so without ordering a bunch of extra things, the whole table is set with such a generous spread 🥺🫧

At first I wondered how much 500g would really be, but after we finished, I was like, why was I even worried? hahaha Even taking the bone weight into account, it is seriously a lot! + I thought the kimchi looked so good, and it turned out to be Korean-made kimchi..! I guess delicious food really does come from good ingredients.

Naver review event

They were also running a Naver review event.

We joined in and received beer and sausages too ❣️ One review per person per visit—amazing. Having a beer with the meat and grilling the sausages over charcoal made them such a nice little treat to pick at in between, haha.

With the LA galbi, yukhoe, doenjang-jjigae, and even the review event, it felt like the table just kept getting more and more abundant..! We ate so generously that I honestly wondered whether the owner was making any profit,,✨

Fresh LA galbi with snowflake marbling was my top pick

The first thing that caught my eye when the meat arrived was, of course, the marbling. The fresh LA galbi was packed with marbling like snowflakes, so it looked incredible even before grilling 💯 We put it over charcoal until beautifully browned, then tried the fresh ribs first—and they were so,, delicious.🥹

The well-marbled parts were so tender they practically melted in the mouth, and the more I chewed, the more I could taste that rich, savory beef flavor ✔️

When I think of LA galbi, I usually think of marinated ribs first, but here the fresh version let the flavor of the meat itself come through even better, so I kept reaching for it.

Personally, my top pick that day was, needless to say, the fresh LA galbi🤎

Marinated LA galbi that went perfectly with rice

We tried the marinated version too, and as expected from LA galbi, it was such a good combination with rice 👏

Eating the fresh ribs first and then moving on to the marinated ones gave us different flavors within one platter, so it was easy to enjoy until the end without getting tired of it 🤎

Still, if I absolutely had to choose just one, I think I would go for the fresh ribs again first even if I came back,,haha. Maybe they use really good meat, because it was chewy in the best way, with no unpleasant smell, and it really melted in my mouth,, Truly life-changing LA galbi,,🔥💯

Ah, but looking at the photos is reminding me how delicious the marinated ribs were too, so no, I do not think I can choose,, hahaha ahh, it was so good.

The 120g of yukhoe included with the platter

The yukhoe that comes with the LA galbi platter is a full 120g! It was not just a tiny service portion; there was plenty for the two of us to pick at while the meat cooked. It was basically a main dish itself,, what a huge amount~,,

We came for LA galbi, but having yukhoe too made it feel like we were enjoying a proper full beef spread..! The fact that yukhoe is included in the ₩54,000 platter was something I was personally very satisfied with.

Doenjang-jjigae that made us order two bowls of rice

The doenjang-jjigae was so delicious that day (seriously). Since it came with a barbecue set, I did not expect much at first, but rice was the first thing I thought of after one spoonful..

In the end, we ordered two extra bowls of rice, hahaha. A piece of fresh LA galbi with a spoonful of rice, then a scoop of hot doenjang-jjigae, then rice again with marinated ribs—this combination was truly happiness,, 〰️ With 500g of meat and even yukhoe, there was no chance of not having enough food, but the doenjang-jjigae kept making us eat more rice🤣

Final thoughts on this generous full spread

My first thought after eating was that you can really eat this generously at this price.

For ₩54,000, we had 500g of LA galbi, 120g of yukhoe, and doenjang-jjigae; with the beer and sausages from the review event too, it was truly a very generous amount. And it was not just that the set was good—the fresh LA galbi I loved most was delicious, which gave me a clear reason to come back next time :)

From the tender fresh ribs with snowflake-like marbling to the doenjang-jjigae that made us order two bowls of rice, everything was satisfying! The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, with separate rooms too, so it seems like a good option for family meals or company dinners in Ansan 💓 If you want to properly enjoy LA galbi in Gojan-dong, Ansan, I think you should definitely visit Yangsimso Ansan Gojan Branch :)
