About MaSan Gamjatang (MSG)

On William Street, MaSan Gamjatang simmers the kind of pork bone soup built for cold Perth nights. Hours on the flame yield a clean, deep broth without heavy seasoning, the meat slipping off the bone at the touch of a chopstick. Tables routinely double down on ppyeajjim—spicy braised pork bones—ordering rice balls to drag through the residual chili sauce. The insider move comes at the bottom of the pot: save a splash of broth so staff can toss in rice and scorch it crisp against the pan.

  • Signature Gamjatang: Pork bones slow-cooked until the meat slips off the vertebrae, served in a clean broth rich with natural marrow depth.
  • Spicy Braised Pork Bones: Tender pork ribs and bones coated in a concentrated chili glaze, built to pair with side orders of seasoned rice balls.
  • Pan-Fried Rice Finish: Communal hot pot ritual of frying rice directly into the reduced leftover pork broth at the end of the meal.
  • Essential Reservations: Consistent nightly lines—even on weeknights—mean reserving a spot in advance is strongly recommended.

    Generous portions of slow-cooked braised pork backbones served in a rich, deeply flavored sauce with fall-apart tender meat.

  • Table-Fried Rice Finale

    A signature communal ritual where diners finish their gamjatang pot by stir-frying rice directly into the concentrated, leftover pork bone soup.

    mix the rice with the left over pork soup to create a fried rice dish, a very innovative and delicious idea.

  • Rice Ball Sauce Pairing Ritual

    A popular dining ritual of pairing spicy braised pork bones with rice balls to dip and mix through the leftover braising reduction.

    I highly recommend ordering the rice balls with it so you can dip them into the leftover sauce afterwards — it’s the perfect combo.
