● Introducing Korean BBQ Myeong ryun Jinsa Galbi
The top 3 things to worry about when traveling to Korea: accommodation, itinerary, and most importantly, food!
Today, we’re going to introduce you to Myeongryun Jinsa Galbi, an all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue restaurant that is a real Korean favorite.
Today, we’re sharing it with Loah’s grandmother, ‘Myeongdong Seong unni.’
Myeong ryun Jinsa Galbi exists as a chain restaurant throughout Korea.
There are 580 stores nationwide.
Loah’s dad thinks the best Korean barbeque locations for foreign tourists to visit are the
- Sinchon, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul https://maps.app.goo.gl/z4iQQra54LAFHvjr5
- Seoul Jongno Gwancheol Branch https://maps.app.goo.gl/KP61F7uK7RSjStY18
- Hapjeong Branch, Mapo-gu, Seoul https://maps.app.goo.gl/CSdz9hraZ4VF2jYv8
- Dongmyo Branch, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul https://maps.app.goo.gl/fvo1ERfHsVmFCtJJ6
I recommend these 4 places:
Opening and closing times vary from store to store, but they usually open at 12 noon.
Closes around 10 to 11 p.m.
Korean barbecue
You can eat unlimited Korean barbecue for 18,900 won per person.
(11,000 won for children under 9 years old, 9,000 won for children under 6 years old, free for children under 3 years old)
+ Fried food, vegetables, basic bread, tteokbokki, some Korean food, and even carbonated drinks such as cola, Fanta, and cider.
Basically, there’s a two-hour time limit on weekdays, but it’s really hard to eat more than two hours, and they don’t ask you to leave.
● An Inside Look at Myeong ryun Jinsa Galbi (Korean barbecue)
Each branch has a slightly different interior.
The one I visited today opened at 12:00 and my family was the first customer hahahaha.
True to Korean barbecue, each table has its own smoker.
Meat and other foods are served buffet-style, so you can eat as much as you want, naturally.
We had a large family, so we had bread, tteokbokki, and fried food for the kids.
You can make a rib burger with meat and vegetables in a bun.
Lots of vegetables and Korean side dishes.
Although it may be a little different at each location,
the place I visited today served pork loin and French rack.
Korean favorites like pork belly, pork skin, and marinated ribs.
They had chicken ribs!!!
Tables typically seat four people.
There were baby chairs like this one.
Every store is different, but this one didn’t have a playground today.
Sometimes other branches have a playground.
Bring your own meat, put it on, and grill it.
The restaurant will provide the basic setup, and then you can bring your own food.
At first, I recommend grilling meat that isn’t marinated.
Seasoned meat can be a bit spicy and the grill can burn a lot.
This is my favorite pork belly. (Korean barbecue)
It was convenient because when grilling meat, the smoke on top was disposed of right away.
The one on the far right is Roa’s grandmother, ‘Myeongdong Seong unni’, who appeared for the first time today.
All-you-can-drink coke, cider, and fanta.
Sirloin, French rack, pork belly, and then later in the day
spiced short ribs.
It’s a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy.
It’s a lot of marinade, so it burns easily.

In general, Koreans like to eat pork belly and seasoned ribs the most.
favorite dishes.
The last one is chicken ribs.
This one is a little more spicy.
It has a slightly sweet flavor, which is very good for Korean palates, but may be a little too spicy for foreigners.
The firepower at the bottom weakens slightly after an hour.
You can change the grill yourself right next to the table.
It’s very easy.
Loah is a very good eater of meat, hahahaha.
I’m sure the meat here is good for all the children.
Korean barbecue
Chicken ribs in particular can burn easily, so you’ll need to turn them frequently.
You can usually get pork, but you can also get beef ribs for extra money.
You can also buy Korean-style naengmyeon and jjigae separately.
But the basic food is more than enough.
This is how much my family ate in 1 hour and 20 minutes.
● Wrapping up a post (Korean barbecue)
Why I recommend this place to international tourists
- I love that you can eat all you want
- You can try different types of food at a good price
(Everyone’s tastes are different, so you can try a little bit of everything) - You don’t have to interact with the staff.
You say hello when you come in and are shown to your table,
You only need to talk to them when you leave to pay.
That’s why I’ve been recommending this place to my foreign friends.
Today, I introduced you to a Korean barbecue restaurant that meat lovers will love.
See you next time with Loah~~!
Bye!
