Myungnyun Jinsagalbi: Korea’s Ultimate All-You-Can-Eat BBQ Just Got Better!

Myungnyun Jinsagalbi (명륜진사갈비), a household name for all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean BBQ in South Korea, has recently undergone a major renovation, creating quite a buzz. Known for its incredible value, this popular chain has revamped its interior, expanded its menu, and introduced exciting new concepts, making every visit a fresh culinary adventure. We recently stopped by to experience these thrilling changes firsthand, and trust us, it’s worth the hype!

The Elevated AYCE Experience: More Than Just Pork Ribs

From the moment you step in, the transformation is evident. The interior boasts a stylish, modern look that elevates the dining experience. But the real star of the show is the expanded menu. While Myungnyun Jinsagalbi built its reputation on delicious marinated pork ribs (돼지갈비), they’ve now introduced a wider variety of premium meats, ensuring there’s something for every BBQ lover.

Despite its immense popularity—we waited about 10 minutes even on a busy weekend—the turnover is quick, a testament to their efficient service. For an unbeatable price of 19,900 KRW, you get access to an unlimited feast!

A Feast of Meats: From Classic Ribs to New Favorites

While the beloved marinated pork ribs remain a staple, the new additions are truly game-changers:

• French Rack (프렌치 렉): A tender, yet delightfully chewy cut of pork rib meat, perfect for grilling. We recommend a sprinkle of salt and pepper to truly savor its natural flavors.
• Pork Neck (목살): Known for its overall tenderness, this cut is incredibly satisfying when grilled over the high-quality Binchotan charcoal, providing excellent heat.

Introducing the “Fury Pepper Steak”

The standout new menu item is undoubtedly the “Fury Pepper Steak” (후려 페퍼 스테이크). This dish features French Rack generously coated with a complex blend of seasonings, including a robust pepper and a hint of cumin. It delivers a bold, slightly spicy kick that’s not chili-hot, but rather an aromatic, peppery warmth. It truly evokes the feeling of a gourmet barbecue camping experience, right in the middle of the city!

Beyond Meat: An Array of Delectable Sides & Refreshing Sips

The expanded side dish selection is equally impressive. You’ll find a buffet of options to complement your meat, including:

• Crispy fried items like dumplings and bread
• Flavorful Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), a consistent hit with kids
• Savory Japchae (glass noodles), surprisingly delicious even without meat
• An assortment of fresh vegetable banchan (side dishes)

And to wash it all down, Myungnyun Jinsagalbi has also introduced a new line of refreshing highballs. The Jim Beam Highball and the fragrant Peachtree Highball offer a perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of alcohol, cutting through the richness of the meat. The Peachtree Highball, with its vibrant color and authentic peach aroma, is particularly delightful.

The Full Myungnyun Jinsagalbi Experience: Don’t Miss These!

No visit to Myungnyun Jinsagalbi is complete without trying their unique pork rind (껍데기). Unlike others, it’s remarkably lean yet incredibly flavorful, especially when dipped in their addictive, spicy-sweet sauce (reminiscent of Korean fried chicken sauce). And for the perfect finish, be sure to order a bowl of cold noodles (냉면) and enjoy it with any leftover grilled galbi—a classic Korean pairing that never disappoints.

Unbeatable Value and a New Concept: The “Meat Theme Park”

Myungnyun Jinsagalbi continues to offer some of the best value in Korea. In an era where even a bowl of gukbap (Korean soup with rice) can easily cost over 10,000 KRW, enjoying unlimited, high-quality BBQ for just 19,900 KRW is truly unparalleled. It’s the perfect spot when you crave an abundance of delicious meat without breaking the bank.

The brand has also embraced a new “Meat Theme Park” concept, now fronted by actor Namgoong Min. This new direction aims to offer a diverse and enjoyable dining experience, with dedicated “steak zones” where you can customize your Fury Pepper Steak with various sauces and sides. Myungnyun Jinsagalbi isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a destination for a full-fledged BBQ adventure. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional K-BBQ value and a fun dining experience!
