Unlimited Korean-Style BBQ Goodness 

Myeong-ryun Jinsa Pork Ribs

(명륜진사갈비)

Myeongryun Jinsa Pork Ribs is like a meat-themed park in Korea. It’s the ultimate spot where you can grill and enjoy all kinds of Korean BBQ favorites to your heart’s content. Their slogan? “Bringing joy and happiness through meat.”

Here, you can enjoy unlimited meat for 120 minutes on weekdays and 100 minutes on weekends and holidays. The prices are super reasonable: 4-6 year olds eat for 9,000 won (about $6-7), 7-9 year olds for 11,000 won (about $8), and 10 year olds and up for 19,900 won (about $14-15). Once you pay, it's all-you-can-eat until you're stuffed!

But it’s not just about the meat. They also offer unlimited side dishes like tteokbokki and various fried items. You’ll also find fresh vegetables and a variety of sauces to perfectly complement your BBQ feast. 

They even have bread and dessert options for appetizers and post-BBQ treats, making it feel more like a special BBQ party than just a meal. With such a great spread at an affordable price, it’s the top spot for high-quality, budget-friendly Korean BBQ.

The real charm of Korean BBQ lies in the 'Ssam'! Take a piece of meat, place it on fresh leafy vegetables like lettuce or perilla leaves, add a bit of onion or green onion, top it off with some ssamjang (Korean dipping sauce), and pop it all in your mouth in one bite! This is the ultimate way to enjoy Korean BBQ. 

With each bite, the flavors of the savory meat, fresh vegetables, and ssamjang come together perfectly. That satisfying, chewy bite is what makes Korean BBQ so special—it’s truly the highlight of the experience.
