Gapyeong charcoal-grilled dakgalbi near Nami Island: Anbanji

I went here because I wanted a proper dakgalbi (spicy stir-fried chicken) meal while traveling around Gapyeong! This is Namiseom Anbanji Dakgalbi (남이섬 안반지 닭갈비), one of Gapyeong's great dakgalbi spots!!!!

Let me introduce this absolutely perfect restaurant: easy parking, takeout available, and even pet-friendly dining…🔥

Gapyeong Anbanji Dakgalbi was selected for the 2026 Blue Ribbon Survey of restaurants nationwide! It was honestly one of the best dakgalbi meals I've ever hadㅠㅠ The umami in the seasoned dakgalbi was seriously insane, and having it with cheese fondue and buckwheat makguksu was a combination that just melted in my mouth…

Close to Gapyeong Station and Nami Island, with spacious parking

🚗 Close to Gapyeong Station and Nami Island + spacious parking

Anbanji Dakgalbi has such a great location! It is about a 3-minute drive from Gapyeong Station and only around 20 seconds by car from the Nami Island ferry terminal! 💪🏻

Jarasum Island is also about 5 minutes away by car, so it fits perfectly into a Gapyeong trip! My schedule was tight this time, so I did not visit Nami Island separately, but if I head there next time, I am absolutely coming back here as my Nami Island dakgalbi stop… ⭐️Pet-friendly dining is available too!⭐️

Here is the parking information for Anbanji Dakgalbi! The lot right out front is huge—seriously spacious!! You can use both the parking in front of the restaurant and the Kakao T Anbanji parking lot across the street, and diners receive a 6-hour free parking pass. I highly recommend the plan of eating here and then heading to Nami Island…

If you are traveling by car, not having parking stress is a pretty major advantage…!!

A clean, modern restaurant atmosphere

A Gapyeong Blue Ribbon restaurant… ahhh…💙

Since it is a long-established dakgalbi place, I wondered whether it might feel a little dated…? But!! The interior was even cleaner and more modern than I expected! The table spacing and overall atmosphere were comfortable too, making it perfect for a family visit! 💗

The waiting room is decorated with famous artworks too, so it feels like a little gallery…!! You can tell they paid attention even to the small details, and I thought, ahh, so this is why it earned that Gapyeong Blue Ribbon recognition!?

Seasoned dakgalbi with cheese fondue and buckwheat makguksu

🍗 Seasoned dakgalbi + cheese fondue + buckwheat makguksu

We ordered 2 portions of seasoned dakgalbi, cheese fondue, and Chuncheon bibim buckwheat makguksu. First, we tried the seasoned dakgalbi, the main event… wow… what is this umami???🔥🔥🔥

Grilling it until golden over charcoal brought out a subtle smoky flavor, and the seasoning was genuinely so good!

It was even better because the side dishes were easy to help ourselves to at the self-service bar!! The vegetables were fresh, and the side dishes were all so delicious…!

If you are looking for great dakgalbi in Gapyeong, the seasoned grilled version is an absolute must

Rather than being aggressively spicy, it has seasoning packed with umami that keeps you reaching for more! Honestly, it was among the very best dakgalbi I've had, so next time I really want to try the original salt-grilled charcoal dakgalbi too!?

You have to get the cheese fondue too

🧀 You have to get the cheese fondue too!

And the cheese fondue… I would have been so sad if we had skipped thisㅠㅠㅠㅠ Getting it together is absolutely the key!!

Dip a nicely grilled piece of dakgalbi deeply into the warm cheese and it becomes so much nuttier and softer! The seasoned dakgalbi is delicious on its own, but with the cheese it feels completely different! Grill one piece of chicken -> dip it deeply in cheese -> yum, and I just kept repeating that!?

If you visit Anbanji Dakgalbi, a great Nami Island dakgalbi spot, I recommend ordering the cheese fondue too!!👍🏻👍🏻

Do not skip the Chuncheon bibim buckwheat makguksu

🍜 You seriously have to order the buckwheat makguksu

And another menu item I personally want to recommend so strongly is 🔥 the Chuncheon bibim buckwheat makguksu!🔥 This was seriously ridiculously delicious…ㅠㅠ

The tanginess of the mixed buckwheat noodles goes unexpectedly well with the dakgalbi! Have a piece of dakgalbi and a bite of makguksu together, and your mouth feels refreshed so you just keep eating…🔥🔥 I really want to say that you have to eat the dakgalbi + buckwheat makguksu combination together…hahaha🔥🔥🔥🔥

Anbanji Dakgalbi has 35 years of history and is now in its third generation! I heard that it was selected as an outstanding business in the dakgalbi category for Gyeonggi Province in the KCIA Korea Consumer Industry Evaluation for three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025, and that it was also featured on SBS's “The Formula for Success, Kkun”!

The signature dishes are the original salt-grilled charcoal dakgalbi and handmade seasoned charcoal dakgalbi! Enjoying them with cheese fondue and wasabi soy sauce doubles the deliciousness…!!✌🏻✌🏻 Having tried it myself, I could see why this Gapyeong Blue Ribbon restaurant has been loved for so long!?💗

This is a place I absolutely want to recommend to anyone looking for a Gapyeong Blue Ribbon restaurant! Also! Gapyeong is close to Seoul, so lots of people take pet-friendly trips there, right!? Since pets are welcome, do not miss it if you are traveling around Gapyeong with your furry companion!!

I did not visit Nami Island separately this time, but on my next Gapyeong trip! I plan to properly visit Nami Island, come back here, and try the salt-grilled version too…haha

If you are looking for great dakgalbi in Gapyeong! I recommend Anbanji Dakgalbi for its location and easy parking! It is especially great for anyone seeking dakgalbi near Nami Island because it is so close to the ferry terminal and easy to add to a trip itinerary; I guarantee it will be a satisfying choice in both flavor and atmosphere for anyone looking for a Gapyeong Blue Ribbon restaurant🤍
