In Korea, we had to check out a few galbi places (of course!) and we luckily found this one on Seoulistic's top ten so we added it to our short list. We went in for a very late lunch/early dinner at around 3:30 and when we got there, there was only one other table occupied. It is a no frills kinda place that offers few menu items since they really just specialize in one thing - galbi jim.
When you enter, you will see three tables and that each seat four people. To the left, there are about a dozen low tables where you sit crossed legged and shoe-less. Wanting an 'old school' experience, we quickly kicked off our shoes and headed toward a table against the left wall.
We ordered the smallest order of Galbi Jim (starting at roughly $32USD) and a bowl of neng myun ($6.50 USD) to share.
This was one of our favorite meals. Everything was so good. The meat was seasoned so wonderfully, not too salty or with a really nice touch of heat. Just tender, fall off the bone, well marinated beef ribs.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who visits Seoul. Two thumbs up!

| Delicious beef ribs in a spicy galbi jim marinade. Once you are done with the meat, you can place an order of rice for 2000 KRW and they will cook the rice in the leftover marinade. We were too full, but hopefully there will be a next time! |
