Korean BBQ Pork Ribs

Suh Lae Gal Mae Gi (서래 갈매기)


There are many places that serve Korean BBQ in Seoul that you can find in almost any neighborhood. However, most of these places serve certain types of cuts and meats. One of my absolute favorite cuts is pork ribs, although this restaurant had their own way of marinating and serving it. The presentation and cooking method is different from the traditional American style pork ribs. I enjoy both types of dishes very much because they both provide delicious way of eating barbecued meat. We ordered what's called Dwaeji Galbi (translation = pork ribs), and thoroughly enjoyed every bite of it. They are conveniently located off exit 7 in Gangnam station, and the entire meal comes with various banchan, salad, and soy bean soup. The meat is cooked on a grill that is heated over charcoal (which is typical for most Korean bbq restaurants). They also provide thinly sliced garlic pieces that go really well with everything. Although the seating arrangements are really crowded, the staff is really friendly and prompt. I would highly recommend visiting this place if you are in the area and craving some bbq pork ribs.
