About

A Munjeong-dong galbi-tang spot known for generous bowls of beef ribs with fragrant minari, plus a shareable eobokjaengban set.

In Songpa’s Munjeong Rodeo area, 진옥 makes a persuasive case for treating galbitang as more than a bowl of broth and beef. Its signature turn is fresh minari: generous handfuls of the herb lift the deep, savory stock with a bright, grassy fragrance. In the minari galbitang, the ribs are cooked until the meat slips readily from the bone; add a piece of beef and a little minari to each spoonful, and the bowl shifts between richness and freshness. For a heartier version, try the minari-suji galbitang, which brings chewy, tender suji into the mix. The broth stays central, while the added texture makes each mouthful more substantial. A scattering of familiar accompaniments—fresh cabbage geotjeori, kkakdugi and seasoned bean sprouts—gives the meal a crisp, tangy counterpoint. There is another side to Jinok beyond the individual lunch bowl. Eobokjaengban, a shareable platter simmered at the table, arrives with accompaniments including seasoned dried pollack, shrimp and soy-marinated egg, and seasoned beef shank. As the broth bubbles, beef and suji can be added to the pot, making this a slower, more communal choice; the set is generally described as requiring a reservation. Minari-and-shank salad offers a sharper opening, pairing herb and onion with beef and a sesame-rich, mustard-tinged dressing. The mood is practical and unfussy: a place people visit for a warming meal, with a narrow counter-style seating option that makes eating alone feel comfortable. It can be lively even outside the busiest lunch hour. Jinok previously traded under the name Hanmoechon Gukbap, a detail worth knowing if an older sign catches your eye. Come for the ribs and the clear pleasure of hot broth; stay curious about the minari. At Jinok, that fragrant green is not a garnish to ignore, but the thread connecting a satisfying solo bowl to a longer meal around a steaming pot.
