Songheonjip Gwangalli, Busan: Michelin Guide Selected Tteokgalbi Restaurant

Songheonjip in Gwangalli, Busan, is gaining attention as a tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties) restaurant, recently selected by the Michelin Guide Busan. This establishment is the second branch of the renowned Korean restaurant 'Sonnaehyangmi,' and has become popular as a family-friendly dining spot, suitable for visiting with parents. While weekend visits may involve waiting, the Catchtable remote queuing system or on-site registration helps manage the flow.

Songheonjip offers a unique dining experience in a renovated detached house, featuring floor seating where shoes are removed upon entry. The menu primarily consists of two types of tteokgalbi: galbisal (short rib meat) tteokgalbi and salchisal (chuck flap tail) tteokgalbi, both served as a full set meal with abundant side dishes. The galbisal tteokgalbi is noted for its tender texture and savory flavor, while the salchisal tteokgalbi provides a more substantial, chunky texture. The tteokgalbi is served wrapped in foil to maintain warmth, and apple makgeolli (rice wine) is also available.

Bloggers praise Songheonjip's tteokgalbi, noting that despite the higher price, it offers good value, particularly highlighting the rich charcoal aroma and juicy texture. Additionally, Songheonjip Deli, a related brand, sells charcoal-grilled handmade sausages, with recommendations to enjoy them with kimchi seasoning and sansho pepper. Overall, it is regarded as a place to enjoy delicious Korean food in a clean and comfortable atmosphere.
