On a rainy weekend, my wife and I decided to have lunch before going to the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Gwacheon. After I had taken an exam in Pyeongchon that morning, I was craving a filling Korean meal. ![Lunch in Gwacheon before visiting the museum](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-01-89j9l-900.webp) While looking for somewhere to eat in Gwacheon, I came across Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch (비비삼 과천본점), a restaurant specializing in bibimbap. Since we both enjoy Korean food, we chose bibimbap for lunch. ![Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch for lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-02-77vlg-900.webp) The tidy interior was the first thing I noticed when we arrived. For us, it was in a convenient spot to eat before heading to the museum. ![The tidy interior of Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-03-iub7e-900.webp) ## How close is it to the station, and is it busy at weekend lunch? The restaurant is about a three-minute walk from Government Complex Gwacheon Station. It was busy when we visited at weekend lunch. ![Bibisam busy with weekend lunch customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-04-1jjut-900.webp) Fortunately, a table opened up just then, so we were seated without waiting. The dining room was full of customers and had a lively atmosphere. ![Lunch-hour interior at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-05-1eejk-900.webp) ## What were the bibimbap set prices and service style? At the time of our visit, the menu listed à la carte dishes at around ₩12,000 and sets at around ₩15,000. It was self-service: we picked up our food ourselves and returned the trays after eating. ![Self-service at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-06-15m2b-900.webp) ![Dining instructions at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-07-4cef9-900.webp) ![Menu selection guidance at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-08-16tvs-900.webp) We saw that two set orders came with gogi sanjeok (pan-fried meat skewers), so we chose the sets. My wife ordered the beef tartare bibimbap set, while I ordered the stone-pot octopus bibimbap set. Our total for two was ₩30,000. ## How generous were the two bibimbaps and meat skewers? Our food came out after about 10 minutes. Both the beef tartare bibimbap and stone-pot octopus bibimbap were generously filled with ingredients. ![Bibimbap set meal ordered at Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-09-l21cj-900.webp) ![Bibisam bibimbap lunch order](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-10-16osz-900.webp) A large fried egg sat on top of the assorted namul (seasoned vegetables) and garnishes. ![Bibimbap topped with namul and fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-11-1phe7-900.webp) The thick meat skewers made the spread feel even more substantial. It was a filling amount for us for one meal. ![Bibimbap meal with meat skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-12-1qedk-900.webp) ## How did the beef tartare and stone-pot octopus bibimbaps differ? We each served some of our bibimbap onto side plates and shared. The beef tartare bibimbap had tender meat, while the stone-pot octopus bibimbap stood out for its sweet-spicy seasoning and springy octopus texture. ![Bibisam bibimbap dishes shared by two](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-13-1mw6k-900.webp) The seasoning blended well into the rice rather than sitting separately on top. ![Bibisam bibimbap with rice and seasoning combined](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-14-1928p-900.webp) The vegetables were crisp without any tough parts. The meat skewers were crisp outside and moist inside, which went well alongside the spicy bibimbap. ![Set meat skewers eaten with bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-a1b5/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-15-1nehc-1200.webp) For my taste, it was not overly intense, and its savory flavor meant I did not tire of it by the end. ![Bibimbap at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-16-lkd6x-900.webp) ![A lunch of shared Bibisam bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-17-1lk3d-900.webp) ![Bibimbap meal at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-18-1lu0k-900.webp) ## Would I return on another outing in Gwacheon? My wife was satisfied after the meal too. I liked that we could share two kinds of bibimbap and have meat skewers alongside them. ![A meal at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch with my wife](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-19-1crpd-900.webp) The tidy restaurant and generous portions stayed with me, and compared with what we ordered, I was satisfied with the price as well. ![Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch after lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-20-5isva-900.webp) The next time we visit the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Gwacheon or Seoul Grand Park, we decided to try another bibimbap. ![Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch during a Gwacheon outing](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-21-14jx5-900.webp) ## Where it is - Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch (비비삼 과천본점) (비비삼 과천본점) - 10-13 Saesulmak-gil, 1F, Unit 101, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 과천시 새술막길 10-13 1층 101호) - 경기도 과천시 새술막길 10-13 1층 101호 - 37.4286993, 126.990907 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B9%84%EB%B9%84%EC%82%BC%20%EA%B3%BC%EC%B2%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4286993,126.990907,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@a-meal-break/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-a1b5/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
