A lunchtime visit with a child brought boneless dakbokkeumtang (spicy braised chicken) and flying fish roe mayo rice balls, with free seaweed soup and dongchimi-style baek-kimchi (white kimchi) as the standouts. Gungmin Nakgopsae Gangseo Branch works just as well for a drinking get-together as for an easy lunch with kids. ## Good to know - **Address**: Units 5–6, 1F Donga Building, 330 Gangseo-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Weekdays 11:00–22:00 / Weekends 11:00–23:00 - **Parking**: Parking space behind the restaurant - **Location**: 5-minute walk from Balsan Station (Line 5) Exit 6, in front of Woojangsan Hillstate Apartments - **Ordered**: Boneless dakbokkeumtang (spicy braised chicken), flying fish roe mayo rice balls, steamed rice *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* Hey, it's Chunsam-i, someone who's dead serious about chicken feet.

There are quite a lot of tables, so it's perfect for group get-togethers. There's a restroom toward the back that's separated by gender and honestly hotel-level clean — I really liked that. ![Entrance to the clean restroom toward the back of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-07-hmah4-900.webp) ![Menu board at Gungmin Nakgopsae Gangseo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-08-1t3x2-900.webp) ![Guide to hot-pot dishes and extra add-in options](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-09-b1uge-900.webp) ## What is on the menu at Gungmin Nakgopsae Gangseo Branch? True to its name, the menu here is built around nakgopsae (octopus, tripe, shrimp) along with hot-pot style dishes like dakdoritang and gopdoritang that you cook at the table. You can choose your ingredients to taste and add all sorts of extra fillers, which is great. There are various drinks and even sherbet on the menu, so it works whether you're stopping by for drinks or for a lunch meal. ![Menu guide including drinks and sherbet](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-10-gpcrb-842.webp) Chunsam-i visited during lunchtime to enjoy a hearty Korean meal without any alcohol. Let's dig into the classic combo of boneless dakdoritang and flying fish roe mayo rice balls. ![Table set up for lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-11-1lcbv-900.webp) ![Complimentary bottled water served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-12-1hp2p-900.webp) ## Free sides: seaweed soup and baek-kimchi (white kimchi) There's been a lot of talk about water bottles lately, so I usually feel a bit uneasy drinking tap water, but this Balsan Station restaurant serves bottled water, which is great. On top of that, they give you seaweed soup as a side for free, so my little one could mix it with rice and slurp it up happily. Such a great default side dish for anyone dining with kids. ![Seaweed soup served as a free side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-13-1e2ku-900.webp) ![Mixing rice into the seaweed soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-14-1siwq-900.webp) Before the main dish arrives, they lay out perilla leaves, baek-kimchi, kkakdugi, pickled radish, and mayo sauce as basic side dishes. Everything is fresh and tasty, but the dongchimi-style baek-kimchi is the real star. Tangy-sweet and clean with no heaviness at all — I refilled it once because it was that good. ![Basic side dishes: perilla leaves, baek-kimchi, kkakdugi, pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-15-1sr2w-900.webp) ![A bowl of dongchimi-style baek-kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-16-chmvz-m-900.webp) ### Making flying fish roe mayo rice balls with a child We ordered the flying fish roe rice balls at my little one's request, and the portion was generous with plenty of ingredients packed in. Kids get to put on gloves and mix it up themselves, which turns it into a little game as well as a tasty dish — I always order this one for them. ![Flying fish roe mayo rice balls loaded with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-17-3xzsx-863.webp) ## Boneless dakbokkeumtang: what comes in the pot And finally, our boneless dakbokkeumtang arrives. This great Balsan Station group-dinner spot really sets the pot up beautifully. It's loaded with all sorts of things — beef brisket, chicken, glass noodles, potatoes, rice cake, onion, green onion, perilla leaves, more glass noodles. There's an induction burner hidden in the table, so you can cook it cleanly without a separate gas burner, which is great. This thick, spicy broth tastes good every single time. It's perfect both as a drinking snack with soju and as a side dish with rice. ![Boneless dakbokkeumtang simmering on the induction burner](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-18-w5olk-900.webp) I tried the glass noodles first since they cook the fastest — the flat noodles have an even chewier texture. They soak up the broth completely and taste great, and they don't get soggy even as you keep simmering them. Drinkers are going to love this, and if you're looking for a group-dinner spot near Balsan Station, Gungmin Nakgopsae is the real deal. ![Fishing out flat glass noodles soaked in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-19-1jpyz-1200.webp) ![Close-up of the spicy dakbokkeumtang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-20-19sp9-900.webp) ![Side plate with chicken and rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-21-96rx2-784.webp) With one bowl of rice split between two people, it's still such a generous meal. The tender chicken and chewy wheat rice cake taste great alternated bite by bite too. ![Perilla leaf wrap topped with pickled radish and other ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-22-1hy5d-900.webp) ### Perilla leaf wraps with a bowl of steamed rice Put pickled radish on a perilla leaf, load it up with whatever ingredients you like, add the mayo sauce, and one bite is pure happiness. Getting to enjoy such a satisfying Korean meal from brunch time onward really hits the spot. If I lived nearby, I feel like I'd be stopping by often just for the lunch menu. ![A piece of dakbokkeumtang placed over a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-23-9qhi9-900.webp) ![Rice mixed with a bit of broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch/balsan-station-boneless-dakbokkeumtang-lunch-24-1v9a3-900.webp) Steamed rice is an absolute must — whether you scoop the stew on top of it or pour broth into the rice bowl and mix it up, it's great either way. It really was a brunch that left me thinking I'd eaten well and properly. ## Final verdict on lunch at Gungmin Nakgopsae Gangseo Branch So after visiting Gungmin Nakgopsae near Balsan Station, my personal takeaway was that it's a great Korean restaurant for group get-togethers.
