Hello from Seoul! Today, we came here to introduce the most popular and hottest “All You Can Eat Korean BBQ” restaurant in Korea now! If you are a subscriber to the famous Korean Mukbang Youtubers, you might have seen this place! Follow us!
Where & What to Eat
The name of this restaurant is Myeongryun Jinsa Galbi 명륜 진사 갈비.
Here, you can eat unlimited Korean BBQ Pork ribs, pork galbi 돼지 갈비.
Also, steamed rice, vegetables, rice cakes, soda, and some side dishes are all included in the price.
How HOT is This Place?
It’s a quite young franchised restaurant, but in the last few years, there have been already more than 450 branches! I heard that there are about 400 Mcdonald’s in Korea but they have more branches than Mcdonalds’! Interesting, right?
Among them, 300 branches opened this year! You can guess how hot it is in Korea right now. Plus they have global branches in Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, Manilla in the Philippines and I heard that one branch will be open soon in Singapore!
The Price
Anyways, these sweet and savory pork ribs were really the best dining out food and the surprising thing is that at one serving price from other restaurants, you can eat unlimited Pork ribs here. Then how much is it?
It is only $11.50
A Big Franchised Restaurant
As I early said, there are about 450 branches in Korea, so it is very easy to find this place no matter where you travel in Korea. So, instead of visiting a specific location, you can go wherever you want like the one near your accommodation or the one near today’s destination. I think this is a huge advantage because you can save your time!
And there is one more advantage. Since it is a big franchised restaurant, you can enjoy the quality of the food. Wherever you visit, you can get pretty much the same quality and a satisfying meal.
How to Enjoy Galbi
When you cut pork ribs, I recommend you to cut the meat across the grain.
This way, you can enjoy the meat more tender. Since this pork galbi is marinated and aged, so it is still pretty tender but I think if you know this tip, you will be able to enjoy any kind of Korean BBQ more deliciously.
Because of the sauce, it is very easy to burn the surface but you don’t really have to worry about it because it is quite natural. I dare say I’m an expert of BBQ but I also burned it a little bit! See?
Don’t blame yourself. You can’t help it. Just cut off the burnt part with scissors and this is the way to eat pork galbi.
Pork galbi really goes well with onions. You can get sliced onions and the special sauce for these onions. You should put lots of onions and the sauce on the plate just like mine and eat some galbi with these onions together.
This is the best way to enjoy pork galbi. It catches the greasiness from the ribs but it doesn’t take up a lot of space in my belly just like a lettuce wrap so this is the most efficient and economical way to enjoy this all you can eat galbi restaurant.
How to Refill
Usually, when we go to all you can eat places, we have to bring our own meat by ourselves. But, here, you have to call the waiter to have more pork ribs. Then, you might think it is very hard to get more if you can’t speak Korean. But, it’s not true at all. Just pick up this black plate and say “REFILL, please”. That’s it!
Except for the galbi, you can bring other food by yourself as much as you want. But don’t bring it too much. If you can’t finish it, you have to pay 2.50 for the penalty, so let’s just bring it as much as you can eat.
+Cold Noodles (물냉면)
Do you wanna know one more tip to get your money’s worth? Order some cold noodles (mul-naeng-myeon). If you eat too much, you may feel greasy but with these cold noodles, the problem will be solved. Because just like onions do, it can refresh and cleanse your mouth, so eventually, it makes you can eat more! I can say it is like a synergy effect!
You can eat cold noodles and galbi together but you can also put noodles into the lettuce wrap.
At first, you can feel the mismatch between cold and hot from cold noodles and galbi but it turns to a well-balanced combination in your mouth.
You may wonder how good they are together, right? This combination is really loved by Koreans so there is even one popular restaurant that specifically serves these two as combos. We will show you that place soon!
I think I ate too much so I need to take digestive medicine when I get home. Alright, this is it for today and we will see you next time!
