Galbijjim might be one of my all time favourite Korean foods (and yes I know I have a lot of favourite Korean foods but… it’s all so good!), so I was really excited when I found this restaurant tucked into a back street of Seomun Market.
The signs said they’d been going over 36 years so I was prepared for some super delicious food and I was NOT disappointed. Came here with the boyfriend for a date night so we drove over on his bike and parked a little outside the market entrance. It wasn’t too hard to find and easy to spot with the big yellow and red signs.
We went on a weekday night and were the only ones there (perfect in pandemic times!) sadly bf was getting his vaccine the next day so no soju 😦 as I think a little soju would have gone down a treat with this hehe.
They had both beef and pork galbijjim, with beef being 13,000 each with a minimum of 2 orders (so 26,000 for two people) or pork at 7,000 each with a minimum of 2 orders (14,00 for two people). We went with the pork and a portion of cheonggukjang (a kind of fermented soybean soups, it’s a bit stinky but tastes so so good). Rice was 1000 per portion, we went through 3 or 4 in the end.
It was so so delicious and so so satisfying. We got mid spicy level but they said they can adjust spice for preference. The portions were a decent size too so we felt it was good value for money, especially for the pork. Wrapping up a little meat with rice and garlic is just perfection! The soup was really tasty but if you aren’t a fan of soybean soups then you might want to skip it. The taste was very strong but we loved it. I would definitely go back again to try the beef one when I’m feeling a little more flush. Hoping next time to wash it down with some soju too 😉
