Haeundae Amso Galbi

Busan’s premier Hanwoo beef rib dining institution since 1964. Celebrated for original hand-carved diamond-cut beef ribs and signature potato noodles simmered on custom dome grills.

Six Decades of Heritage

The Original Diamond Cut, Carved Purely by Hand

Founded in 1964 by the late founder Yoon Seok-ho, Haeundae Amso Galbi originated the proprietary diamond knife-scoring technique. By delicately cross-hatching each cut of Hanwoo beef, the meat achieves supreme tenderness while locking in savory natural juices during charcoal grilling.

We refuse mechanical butchery. Although hand-carving requires extensive manual labor, the resulting texture and marbling integrity cannot be replicated by modern machines. This uncompromising discipline continues today.

100% Hand Butchery Standard

Every cut is scored manually with diamond patterns to preserve natural juices and tenderness.
