Jjokgalbi Gamil (쪽갈비 감일점) is a pork rib restaurant on Gamilbaekje-ro in Gamil, Hanam, the neighborhood where we live, under the “Amsa Jjokgalbi” sign. Jjokgalbi are small pork back ribs that arrive part-cooked from the kitchen and are finished on a charcoal grill at the table, then eaten by hand. We went as a family of four on a Friday evening in March 2026, started with two portions of the regular ribs, then added two portions of the spicy ribs. The meat was tender and well seasoned, with plenty of it on each bone, and both kids ate more than usual.

Pork ribs in our neighborhood
My wife has liked jjokgalbi since we lived in Gangdong, where we used to eat it in Amsa-dong and Dunchon-dong, so she wanted to try this one as soon as it opened near us. It is on the ground floor of a building on the main road through Gamil, under a big “쪽갈비” sign and a red “Amsa Jjokgalbi” logo. A board by the door says it is open from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. every day of the year, and a sign on the front says takeaway and delivery are available and that they will cook everything for you.
We arrived at about 6 p.m. on a Friday. At first only one or two tables were taken, and then people kept coming in. Inside, it is a clean, newly opened room, mostly four-person tables, each with a round charcoal grill in the middle.
The menu and how to order
You order on a tablet on the table. The ribs come in two flavors: yangnyeom jjokgalbi, which despite the name (“seasoned”) is just salted, and maeun jjokgalbi, the same ribs with a red, spicy sauce. Both are sold from two portions. These were the prices on the tablet and on the board outside in March 2026:
| Dish | Korean | Price (won) |
|---|---|---|
| Salted pork ribs, 2 portions (700 g) | 양념 쪽갈비 2인 | 32,000 |
| Spicy pork ribs, 2 portions (700 g) | 매운 쪽갈비 2인 | 34,000 |
| Half salted, half spicy (700 g) | 양념+매운 쪽갈비 | 33,000 |
| Garlic beef rib meat, 200 g | 마늘소갈비살 | 16,000 |
| Pork skin | 껍데기 | 7,000 |
| Amsa jjageuli (kimchi stew) | 암사짜글이 | 7,000 |
| Janchi guksu (noodles), small / large | 잔치국수 | 5,000 / 7,000 |
| Spicy soft tofu stew | 얼큰순두부 | 5,000 |
| Steamed egg | 계란찜 | 5,000 |
| Rice ball with flying fish roe | 날치알주먹밥 | 4,000 |
| Spicy sauce (extra) | 매운소스 | 1,000 |
The board lists one portion as 350 g weighed before cooking. Beer and soju are 5,000 won, and soft drinks 2,000 won.
Side dishes and the self-service bar
The table is set with sliced onion in soy sauce, white kimchi, garlic, green chilies, a dipping sauce and a few other small sides. By the entrance there is a self-service bar with more, including dongchimi (radish water kimchi), white kimchi and pickled onion, and the same corner has plastic bags to put your coats in, cotton gloves and plastic gloves for eating the ribs by hand.
While the ribs were being pre-grilled in the kitchen, the staff brought a small tasting plate of pork skin, fish cake and a few rice cakes to grill on the charcoal. The pork skin was soft, with no smell, and the fish cake was soft and savory. Both made a good starter while we waited.
The salted ribs
The salted ribs arrive already part-cooked, so at the table you only need to brown the outside on the charcoal. The grill is hot, so we put on a few at a time and took them off once the outside was crisp. Each rib had a lot of meat on the bone, noticeably more than the rib places we used to go to in Amsa-dong and Dunchon-dong. The meat was tender and the seasoning was just right.
These are not spicy, so they are the ones for children. My wife also tried them with the extra spicy sauce, but she preferred ordering the spicy ribs themselves to dipping the plain ones.
The spicy ribs
Once the kids had their salted ribs, we added two portions of the spicy ribs for ourselves. The sauce is red and peppery, with a strong black pepper smell, and it is the kind of taste you keep going back to. It is stronger than the salted version and better with soju. Of the two, my wife would order the spicy ones again.
Amsa jjageuli
We also tried the Amsa jjageuli (7,000 won), a stew named after Amsa-dong. It came out more like a regular kimchi stew than a thick jjageuli, and it arrived warm rather than bubbling hot. It tasted like ordinary kimchi stew, which was a little disappointing. Order it if you want something with broth, but do not expect anything special.
With kids
This worked well as a family dinner. Our daughter loves eating out, and she enjoyed picking up the ribs and eating them off the bone. Our son usually does not enjoy eating out, but he ate much more than he normally does. With the salted ribs, and sides such as steamed egg, noodles and rice balls on the menu, there is enough for children who do not eat spicy food.
What we thought
For a neighborhood rib place, it was very good. The ribs were meaty, tender and well seasoned, the spicy ones were addictive, and the free tasting plate of skin and fish cake was a nice touch. The only weak point was the jjageuli. The staff were kind, and we ate comfortably the whole time. I am giving it 4.3 out of 5.
