The regular jjageuli was pleasantly spicy, while the 300g bulgogi had smoky, peppery flavor. Verdict: a filling, comfortable spot for Korean food in Hongdae. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 16 Yanghwa-ro 18an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM - **Bulgogi order**: 300g - **Self-service bar**: Bean sprouts, kimchi, pickled chili peppers, sesame oil - **Add-ons**: Potato sujebi, ramen noodles, 1 slice of Spam *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Introduction to a Korean meal at Bap Jangin Hongdae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-01-5ndsf-966.webp) ## A Korean restaurant conveniently between Hongik University Station lines If you're looking near Hongik University Station for a Korean restaurant serving kimchi stew or stir-fried spicy pork that you could eat every day without getting tired of it, I recommend Bap Jangin Hongdae Branch. ![Bap Jangin restaurant near Hongik University Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-02-1xljl-966.webp) The dining hall is spacious with a clean atmosphere. It is right near Hongik University Station, so it is easy to get to, too. The distance between Line 2 and the Airport Railroad at Hongik University Station is huge, but this place sits right in the middle, making it close from Line 2, the Airport Railroad, or the Gyeongui–Jungang Line. ![Interior atmosphere of a Hongdae Korean restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-03-ivce-966.webp) The food here generally leans spicy, so you'll like it even more if you enjoy spicy food. ![Operating information for Bap Jangin Hongdae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-04-14owv-966.webp) It is open from 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM, making it a Hongdae restaurant where you can eat fairly late. Inside has a casual orange-toned atmosphere, and lots of groups come here. Since tables can be pushed together to make group seating, you cannot just sit wherever you like even if there are empty seats; you have to sit where you are shown. You never know when a group might suddenly pour in. At first I thought, Why are they telling me to sit here when there are so many seats...? But later, when dozens of group guests filed in, I understood... There is always a reason once you see it. There is also a self-service bar with bean sprouts, kimchi, pickled chili peppers, and sesame oil. Since the food overall is on the spicy side, I skipped the kimchi and brought only bean sprouts and pickled chili peppers. ![Self-service side dishes and window seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-05-1dck5-966.webp) I sat at an inside window seat, but they offered me another seat. It turned out the air-conditioning was weak there, so it could get warm. I said it was fine and stayed by the window. ![Inside window dining seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-06-ldiif-966.webp) ## Choosing jjageuli and set-meal options Time to order. ![Bap Jangin ordering menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-07-1pibh-966.webp) The cheat code here is to add roasted seaweed flakes and stew to rice, then mix it all up. The food is generally spicy, but lots of foreign visitors come here too. The individual dishes include jjageuli (a thick, spicy Korean stew), kimchi stew, and soft tofu potato stew. ![Individual jjageuli menu options](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-08-ejepi-966.webp) You can choose between regular salty seasoning and less salty seasoning. For jjageuli, you can choose the spice level. There are add-ons too: potato sujebi (hand-torn dough soup), ramen noodles, or one slice of Spam. There is also soft tofu beef brisket stew, beef brisket doenjang stew, stir-fried squid, and stir-fried bulgogi. ![Stir-fried bulgogi and set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-09-4vsj4-966.webp) ![Bap Jangin set-meal guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-10-51rhm-966.webp) For set meals, there is a one-person Spam set and a one-person full set meal. There are add-ons and alcoholic drinks too. For the one-person Spam set, you first choose a stew, then the spice level, then an add-on. ![One-person Spam set selection guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-11-10qhf-966.webp) ![Stew and add-on selections](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-12-x9no7-966.webp) For the two- to three-person Spam set, you choose the stew, flavor, and add-on. ![Two- to three-person Spam set options](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-13-vh5b9-966.webp) ![Spam set flavor selection guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-14-11seu-966.webp) The one-person full set meal has the same options. ![One-person full set-meal options](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-15-7n8i3-966.webp) ![Full set-meal stew selection guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-16-7aigx-966.webp) ![Full set-meal add-on guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-17-1pjfo-966.webp) ![Various full set-meal combinations](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-18-iwmub-966.webp) There are various other full set-meal options as well. ![Jjageuli and bulgogi full set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-19-jclno-966.webp) ## Spicy regular jjageuli and smoky bulgogi The bulgogi I ordered with the jjageuli was 300g, so it was quite a substantial amount. You can mix it with oil and roasted seaweed flakes, but I left out the oil and mixed in only the seaweed flakes. ![Jjageuli rice mixed with roasted seaweed flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-20-3yary-966.webp) It had diced pork in it, and even though I ordered the regular, non-spicy version, it was nicely spicy and delicious. A spicy kick comes as standard. ![Jjageuli with diced pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-21-75lvn-966.webp) The bulgogi was full of smoky flavor, with pepper and charred aroma deeply infused. Unlike ordinary stir-fried spicy pork, it had a harmonious mix of slight sweetness, smokiness, and pepper. ![Stir-fried bulgogi with smoky and peppery flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-22-1b4ch-966.webp) Those pickled chili peppers were so good... ![Pickled chili peppers from the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-23-13frr-966.webp) There was plenty of pork, and it was savory and salty enough to make two bowls of rice disappear in no time. ![Rice mixed with stir-fried bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin/hongdae-jjageuli-bulgogi-bapjangin-24-q8mwp-966.webp) Mixing rice thoroughly with the bulgogi is seriously delicious.
