There were plenty of other choices too, like whole stir-fried octopus, spicy stir-fried small octopus, and bibim jjolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles) with flat dumplings. This day, we ordered these two! - Bossam set ₩15,000 - Charcoal bulgogi set ₩14,000 ## What comes with the set meals? ![Basic side dishes served with Bonghyejane set meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch-06-1rqid-900.webp) ![Neat set-meal side dishes including braised soybeans and white kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch-07-1briw-900.webp) When you order a set at Bonghyejane, you get side dishes like sweet braised soybeans (kongjaban) and white kimchi, plus pumpkin porridge. The varied side dishes were the first thing I liked. Each one came neatly plated, and they went well with the main dish. ![Pumpkin porridge served with Bonghyejane set meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch-08-1fqyv-900.webp) ### The pumpkin porridge that comes with the set is a treat What I really loved was the pumpkin porridge!! 🎃 It comes with the set, and it was way more delicious than I expected!! Starting with the porridge before the main dish left my stomach feeling full and happy. Personally, I think little touches like this are the charm of a Korean set meal. ## Bossam set ₩15,000: clean and mild, no gamey smell First, the bossam set! ![Bonghyejane bossam set table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch-09-txafa-900.webp) ![Bossam served with seasoned dried radish and ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch-10-g3lpx-900.webp) The bossam at Bonghyejane came sliced into bite-size pieces, served with garlic, chili peppers, ssamjang (seasoned dipping paste) and mumallaengi (seasoned dried radish). Above all, I didn't smell any gamey odor in the meat at all, and it was mild and clean, so I enjoyed it a lot. The meat tasted good on its own, but it also went well topped with the mumallaengi, ssamjang or garlic, and with rice it made a perfectly filling meal. ## Charcoal bulgogi set ₩14,000: a subtle smoky grill flavor Next is the charcoal bulgogi set. ![Bonghyejane charcoal bulgogi set table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch-11-vqbtt-900.webp) ![Charcoal bulgogi served with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch-12-1cwly-900.webp) The charcoal bulgogi set has beef bulgogi cooked with various vegetables, so it goes well with rice. As the menu describes, the beef has a subtle smoky grill flavor, with a charm different from the bossam. If the bossam is mild and plain, the bulgogi comes with seasoning added, so I was glad we ordered both. Because it's a set, you get rice, side dishes and pumpkin porridge too, so the meal felt quite generous. ## Price and verdict: a ₩10,000-range Korean set meal near Jonggak Station Most of the set meals at Bonghyejane Jongno Tower branch are in the ₩10,000 range, so it's a good place to visit when you want a filling Korean meal near Jonggak Station. - Convenient location close to Jonggak Station - Neat, tidy side dishes - Bossam that was mild with no gamey smell - Delicious pumpkin porridge that comes with the set The main dishes were tasty, but what stuck with me were the pumpkin porridge and the neatly served side dishes. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a Korean restaurant in Jonggak, especially if you want a filling set meal for lunch :) ## Where it is - Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch (봉혜자네주방 종로타워점) - 51 Jongno, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Jongno Tower B2, Units B206 and B207) - 서울특별시 종로구 종로 51 지하2층 B206, B207호 - 37.5707534, 126.9836385 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B4%89%ED%98%9C%EC%9E%90%EB%84%A4%EC%A3%BC%EB%B0%A9%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%ED%83%80%EC%9B%8C%EC%A0%90/@37.5707534,126.9836385,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@amber-coaster/jonggak-bossam-bulgogi-set-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
