All 9 Korean Beef Dishes

Grilled Beef (Beef Galbi or Beef Bulgogi)

Pungcheonga Cheongdam

Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu·$$$

KRW32000.00

Marinated or unmarked beef grilled over charcoal as a non-eel option.

Tip: Not everyone in your party may want eel. Order a mix of eel and beef so the group can share and sample both.

Premium Korean Beef Short Rib (Hanu Galbisal)

Mapo Sutbul Galbi

Nonhyun-dong, Gangnam-gu·$$$

KRW58000.00

Unmarked premium Hanwoo beef short ribs with natural marbling.

Tip: Order both marinated and unmarked cuts — the contrast shows why Mapo's marinade technique is so special.

Beef Tartare (Yukhoe)

Wangbijip

Myeongdong, Jung-gu·$$$

KRW18000.00

Raw Korean beef mixed with soy, sesame, garlic, and egg yolk.

Tip: Order this as an appetizer before the grilled meat. The cold, delicate flavors prepare your palate for the charred, rich BBQ items.

Hanwoo Tenderloin (Deungsim)

Hongbaksa BBQ

Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu·$$$

KRW42000.00

Ultra-tender Korean beef tenderloin, the most expensive cut per gram.

Tip: This is the most premium cut by price. Order it if cost is not a concern and you want the ultimate tender bite.

Unmarked Premium Hanwoo Beef Short Rib (Sagol Galbi)

Wangbijip

Myeongdong, Jung-gu·$$$

KRW28000.00

Pristine Hanwoo beef short ribs without marinade, allowing pure beef flavor to shine.

Tip: Order both marinated and unmarked cuts to experience the difference. This is an educational meal as much as a delicious one.

Hanwoo Sirloin (Deungsim-Galbijjim)

Hongbaksa BBQ

Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu·$$$

KRW28000.00

Premium Korean beef sirloin with natural marbling, selected fresh.

Tip: Sirloin is 20% cheaper than galbi and nearly as flavorful. If you're watching budget while staying premium, choose this cut.

Beef Tenderloin (Deungsim)

Wangbijip

Myeongdong, Jung-gu·$$$

KRW26000.00

Ultra-tender beef tenderloin sliced thin and grilled quickly.

Marinated Beef Short Rib (Hanu Galbisal)

Wangbijip

Myeongdong, Jung-gu·$$$

KRW32000.00

Tender Korean beef short ribs marinated in traditional soy-based sauce.

Tip: Order this as your main meat item — it's the reason people come to Wangbijip. The marinade makes it more tender than unmarinated beef, perfect for those who want premium quality without fighting chewy meat.
