I was visiting a nearby city 2 hours from Seoul called Anyang, and it was time for dinner. The business partner brought me to this Korean BBQ place near his office.
Songdo Galbi is a chain Korean BBQ restaurant is owned by Shinhwa (神话) Food Group.
It features a clean and modern interior, making it an ideal restaurant for family gatherings and special occasions.
Private rooms are also available without additional costs.
Not only must the meat excellent for Korean BBQ, but the charcoal is also carefully selected to be most suitable for barbecue – even heat discharge and constant amber. The best charcoal is matched with top meat to achieve the best taste.
Our Korean BBQ Dinner
반찬 Korean Side Dishes
Banchan 반찬 is an essential part of any good Korean meal, because they are delicious and they provide variety to the main course.
생갈비 Fresh Beef Ribs
Saeng galbi 생갈비 is charcoal grilled ribs with the best marbling of the beef ribs to fully enjoy the original taste of the Hanwoo.
양념갈비 Seasoned Beef Ribs
Wang galbi 왕갈비 is the traditional cut of short rib commonly seen at specialised Korean BBQ restaurants in Korea.
Yangnyeom galbi 양념갈비 uses high-quality beef ribs charcoal-grilled with a gentle seasoning to bring out the original flavour of the Korean beef.
Nicely marbled and full of flavour, everyone loves this sweet–salty meat boasting a heady mix of garlic and ginger. The best doneness for yangnyeom galbi is medium or more to let the meat to produce the Maillard effect and sauce to be caramelised.

Once a chef in Korea refuted me when I asked for lettuce and perilla leaves to wrap my KBBQ. He said that for Hanwoo (Korean bred cattle), they would eat them as is without any dips or wraps, maybe just with sprinkle of salt. So I chuckled when I saw the plate of ssam 쌈.
토종한우육회 Korean Beef Tartare
Yukhoe translates as ‘beef tartare’ in English, but it tastes and looks different from Western beef tartare. The umami of high-quality beef fills your mouth as you chew, followed by pears with a crisp texture and mild sweetness, and the flavour of pine nut powder and egg yolk decorates the finish.
양념꽃게 무침 Marinated Blue Crab
비빔함흥냉면 Spicy Cold Noodles
Typically, naengmyeon is divided into two types: mul-naengmyeon, cold noodles served in a clear broth that typically combines beef broth with radish water kimchi, and bibim-naengmyeon, or cold noodles mixed in a sweet, spicy hot pepper paste topped with vegetables and sesame oil. Spicy bibim-naengmyeon dates its history to the northern city of Hamheung. Born as a food to fight the freezing cold, Hamheung naengmyeon is defined by extremely skinny noodles mixed in a spicy red hot pepper sauce.
갈비탕 Fresh Short Rib Soup
Galbitang 갈비탕, or boiled short rib soup, is a very common and popular Korean soup. The clear and hearty soup is made by slowly simmering galbi or beef short ribs in water for a long time and is eaten as a meal. It’s a hearty, nourishing soup with a delicately clean taste.
It has been a while since I had sujeonggwa. When I went to the KBBQ in Singapore, this was last item they would serve (together with cut heart-shaped watermelon) with the bill. Very sweet, it was supposed to aid digestion.
The food was good and reasonable priced, and they have restaurant in Seoul as well. The service was prompt, but I am afraid no one spoke English. There was one person that spoke Mandarin, but the menu is available in 2 languages (KR/EN). When all things fail, just point and order.
