After-work Korean BBQ dinner in Gimhae with pork and beef galbi

A pork galbi spot worth knowing in Jangyu, Gimhae, great for group dinners: Baengnyeon Galbi.

Today I visited "Baengnyeon Galbi Jangyu" in Jangyu, Gimhae, a go-to spot for pork galbi. It's perfect for a drink with senior coworkers after work — sweet, salty, savory seasoned pork galbi. Here's my review!

Located in Samun-maeul, Jangyu, Gimhae, Baengnyeon Galbi Jangyu has a spacious interior, perfect for company dinners or group gatherings.

There's also a self-serve bar with garlic, chili peppers, onion, wrap vegetables, pickled radish, napa cabbage, lettuce, ssamjang (dipping sauce), kimchi, perilla leaves, tongs, and scissors.

Two things worth knowing before you order

• First meat order must be at least 3 servings
• The first setting comes with corn cheese, tteokbokki, and ox blood soup

Wow, the quality of the free side dishes was amazing!

We ordered 3 servings of seasoned pork galbi and 3 servings of beef galbi, and the three of us adults ate until we were really full! Pork galbi is 200g per serving for ₩11,900 — great value, thumbs up 👍🏻

Baengnyeon Galbi's basic side dishes: ox blood soup goes down smooth

The pickled onions and pickled green onions were both delicious, and with tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and ox blood soup on the table, the soju went down smoothly haha. The free ox blood soup in particular was refreshing and really tasty!

So how does the seasoned pork galbi taste?

Isn't the color of the seasoned pork galbi gorgeous? Baengnyeon Galbi uses fresh cuts and aged marinade, giving it a sweet, salty, savory character. This Gimhae galbi spot also gives you free corn cheese to dip the pork galbi in!

They flip it often so it doesn't burn. The seasoning wasn't just on the surface — it had soaked gently all the way into the meat.

We also added an order of steamed egg, which pairs perfectly with the meat. Soft and fluffy with just the right seasoning — a perfect match for the sweet-and-salty galbi.

Try a bite of well-grilled pork galbi — the fat was mixed in just right, so it wasn't dry, and the juiciness was still there! Sweet with a deep charcoal flavor — so delicious at Baengnyeon Galbi.

Beef galbi or pork galbi — which one?

The seasoned beef galbi has a savory beefy aroma, a different charm from the pork. Its texture pulls apart smoothly along the grain, and the flavor of the beef itself really comes through.

If you like a softer texture, go for pork galbi; if you prefer that meaty aroma, I'd recommend the beef galbi haha.

Finishing with doenjang jjigae

You've got to finish a BBQ meal with doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), right? A bite of the spicy stew with a bowl of rice made today's meal complete haha.

The aged seasoned galbi with its charcoal aroma and the meat's savory flavor made it all the more satisfying. Baengnyeon Galbi is a place I'd like to visit again for a company dinner or family gathering.
