Located in Damyang, this massive two-story traditional building is an absolute institution for pork ribs. The best part about Ssanggyo is that the pork galbi is meticulously grilled in the kitchen before reaching your table, saving you from smelling like smoke. I always order half regular and half spicy ribs; the meat is flawlessly tender with a perfectly balanced marinade. Instead of finishing with cold noodles, you must order their signature Deulkkae Sujebi (perilla seed dough soup). The rich, creamy perilla broth is incredible, but be warned-one order is easily enough for three people. Always expect a waiting line, especially on weekends, as they do not take reservations. The turnover is surprisingly fast, and they have a comfortable waiting area and an outdoor playground.
