Ihak Galbi is a grill-house chain over in the Incheon area, and I’d heard that while the meat is good, the galbitang is especially good, so I gave it a go. It was packed with people right from the entrance.

Pork galbi

The color is honestly a work of art. I have no idea how long it’s been since I had pork galbi of this quality.

Grilled up nicely

No need to trek all the way out to Seongsu-dong for this.

The banchan

The banchan

They come out neat and tidy.

Bibim naengmyeon

Every so often I get a craving for grill-house naengmyeon.. this is the classic grill-house version, easy to put away.

Galbitang

The amount of galbi in it is no joke, so finishing one on your own will leave you completely stuffed. If you’ve already ordered the grilled meat, sharing one between two is about right for a taste. At this quality it’s close to the top of every galbitang I’ve ever had.. which is probably why people queue up like that. Even though it isn’t cheap.

After-meal tea

Finished off with a clean palate cleanser and headed out. There’s always a reason a place does this well..
