If you look for good restaurants near Sangbong Hankookgwan Nightclub, you will find that there are actually more places to eat around Sangbong Station than you might expect. Around Sangbong Hankookgwan Nightclub, there is a cluster of various eateries, ranging from barbecue restaurants to bars.
The place I am introducing today is not a typical pork belly restaurant, but Jungnang Deunggalbi, which specializes in charcoal-grilled pork ribs .
When I first saw the photo, what caught my eye the most was the pork ribs served in a large platter. However, looking closely at the menu, I noticed this place had one more distinctive feature.
The point is that the pork ribs are not grilled directly at the table, but are all cooked in a charcoal oven and served .
If you are looking for a place to have dinner or a drink near Sangbong-dong Hankookgwan, this is a place worth checking out.
Pork ribs served fully grilled over charcoal
Even though pork ribs are delicious, they are actually quite a lot of work to grill yourself.
Jungnang Deunggalbi has a notice on its menu stating, “We grill all the ribs in a charcoal oven, so you can eat them right away.”
It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to cook, but once it comes out, you can eat it right away without having to worry about grilling it.
In the photo, the seasoning is glossyly absorbed into the surface of the pork ribs, and you can see some areas that have been charred by the charcoal fire.
Looking at the reviews, there were reactions such as “It was good that it came out fully grilled” and “The meat came off easily, making it easy to eat.”
If it is a gathering where several people eat and chat, it would also be an advantage that no one needs to keep grilling the meat.
5 varieties ranging from salt-grilled to spicy
If you look at the menu, there is a variety of pork rib flavors.
Salt-Grilled Ribs 15,000 won.
A basic menu item to enjoy the clean, aged taste of pork ribs.
Mild flavor, 15,000 won.
It has barbecue seasoning but isn't spicy.
Medium
spice level is about the same as Shin Ramyun, based on the 16,000 won menu.
Spicy 16,000 won.
A menu for those who like spicy food.
Teriyaki flavor, 16,000 won.
If you like sweet seasoning, this is a flavor worth choosing.
All are based on a 1-serving of 400g .
If you are going with a group, it seems like a good idea to order different flavors, such as one salt-grilled and one marinated, to compare them.
Reviews say the more you eat, the more you crave the spicy flavor.
What particularly caught my eye in the reviews was the spicy pork ribs.
Rather than feeling intensely spicy from the start, the spiciness gradually builds up as you eat, yet there were reactions saying that people kept reaching for more.
If you like spicy food, it is worth giving it a try, but if you are sensitive to spicy flavors, it would be better to start with the mild version.
I think ordering steamed egg custard along with the spicy pork ribs would go well. The menu includes flying fish roe or cheese steamed egg custard for 5,000 won.
Soft tofu stew is served in the center.
If you look at the photo of the pork ribs, there is a black earthenware pot in the center. It is soft tofu stew.
If you check the menu, it states that soft tofu stew is provided as a complimentary service once per table.
Having a spoonful of spicy and hot broth while eating marinated pork ribs would make for a pretty good combination, wouldn't it?
There were also reviews stating that it was good to mix rice into the soft tofu stew.
Since it comes with stew as well as meat, rather than just a plate of meat, it seems like a good combination for a meal and a drink .
Gardenia kimchi rolled noodles also stand out.
There are probably many people who crave refreshing noodles after eating meat.
Jungnang Deunggalbi has a slightly unique dish called Gardenia Kimchi Rolled Noodles for 6,000 won.
According to reviews, it has a sweet and sour taste with the addition of gat kimchi. It seems like it would be a great finishing touch after eating greasy, richly seasoned pork ribs.
However, there are reviews saying that the portion of pork ribs is quite generous, so if you plan to eat fried rice or noodles as well, it would be best not to order too much from the start.
There are many side dishes to go with alcohol besides pork ribs.
If you look at the side menu, there are more options than you might think.
Pot Fried Rice 5,000 won
Pot Rice Balls 4,500 won
Soft Tofu Stew 5,000
won Steamed Egg with Flying Fish Roe or Cheese 5,000
won Gardenia Kimchi Rolled Noodles 6,000 won
Spicy Pork Belly 16,000 won
Scallop and Fish Cake Soup 16,000
won Spicy Chicken Feet in Broth 16,000 won
Grilled King Prawns (10) 13,000 won
There are also menu items that feel like a second round of drinks, such as spicy pork belly, spicy chicken feet in broth, and fish cake soup, so it is a good setup for extending the drinking session a bit while eating pork ribs.
A wide variety of alcoholic beverages are also available, including not only soju and beer but also Cheongha, Byeolbit Cheongha, makgeolli, and distilled spirits.
