Hello, everyone!

This is Minimanimu, bringing you delicious restaurant stories personally hand-picked by Mini!

Today, I'm excited to introduce you to a fantastic back rib restaurant near Gyeongin Gyodae that I've walked past countless times in my neighborhood and finally had the chance to visit!

It's none other than Deunggalbiaekkochida Gyesan Branch.

This place allows you to savor both Duroc (black pig) back ribs, known as one of the world's top three pork breeds, and skewers all at once!

I was so impressed that I ended up visiting two weeks in a row.

Let me share my honest review of Deunggalbiaekkochida Gyesan Branch!

Deunggalbiaekkochida Business Information

Exterior / Interior

If you walk straight down from Gyeongin National University of Education Station, you'll easily spot the large 'Deunggalbiaekkochida' sign.

The sliding door adds a touch of retro charm, and the overall atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed drink.

Inside, the space is mainly furnished with round tables,

creating a cozy and warm ambiance.

The restroom is located outside the restaurant (within the building).

·Cheese Add-on ~$4

·Flying Fish Roe Rice Balls ~$3

·Soju ~$3 * n

My Experience

Each table comes with basic settings like water cups, a cutlery holder, a bone discard bin, and a portable burner.

After you order,

a complimentary serving of *Gungmul Tteokbokki* (soupy rice cakes) is served first as an appetizer.

Additionally, sweet corn, *ssammu* (pickled radish wrap), pickled garlic, and three types of sauces are provided.

They also offer individual plates, plastic gloves, cotton gloves, and wet wipes, ensuring you can eat comfortably.

Another fantastic bonus?

They even serve *Gyeranjjim* (steamed egg custard) as a complimentary side dish!

Since the back ribs are served fully cooked,

it takes approximately 20 minutes.

While you wait, let's talk about the benefits of back ribs!

And you can fill up your stomach with *Gukmul Tteokbokki* (soupy rice cakes) + *Gyeranjjim* (steamed egg).

And then there's the essential carb fix!

Adding *nalchi-al jumeokbap* (flying fish roe rice balls) makes for an unbeatable combination.

And finally, the star of the show: *deunggalbi* (pork back ribs)!

It comes out on a square griddle, served with cheese and *kimchi*.

It's all cooked through when it arrives, so you can dig in right away – super convenient!

*Sogeum-gui* (Salt-Grilled Ribs)

With its mild flavor, you can really savor the rich taste of the meat itself.

The meat is thick and comes right off the bone with a tender pull.

*Yangnyeom-gui* (Marinated Ribs)

You can adjust the spiciness level, and for a spice-sensitive person like me,

it was pleasantly spicy, with an addictive kick.

Wrap it up with some extra cheese, and the spiciness mellows out,

making way for an explosion of savory richness!

On my second visit,

I ordered both the mild and spicy marinated ribs,

and the addictive sauce kept me reaching for more.

Each serving comes with about 7 ribs, so the portion is quite generous!
