So today I'm sharing my real, first-hand review of a genuinely great dessert place on Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju 🏃‍♀️💨 It's a totally different vibe from the walnut pastries you'd grab at a rest stop or on the street — this place nails the taste of the 20s-30s crowd ✨ ![Buja Hodu outdoor terrace with yellow parasols](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-05-9wkd3-966.webp) ![View of the terrace seating at Buja Hodu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-06-1hu1q-966.webp) ## The storefront and the yellow parasol terrace Buja Hodu has an outdoor terrace with yellow parasols set up in front of the shop, perfect for sitting down for a light snack on a nice day. Gyeongju's laid-back atmosphere blends with a trendy interior, making the shop stand out even from a distance. The exterior alone has that full Instagram vibe, so exactly my taste — I found myself snapping photos right away 📸 ☀️ ![Full menu board at Buja Hodu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-07-gp9ia-966.webp) ## Buja Hodu's menu and what goes into the 24pcs mix Full menu The Buja Hodu menu ranges from FRESH PACK all the way to BOX PACKAGING for gifts. I packed up a 24pcs mix this time, and the lineup was genuinely solid — 6 red bean, 6 green pea cream cheese, 6 matcha, and 6 choice 🤤 With so many options, it was fun just picking 📋🎁 ![Buja Hodu 24pcs mix packaging box](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-08-6bf7u-966.webp) ![Gift box packaging of walnut pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-09-15iit-966.webp) ![Buja Hodu drink menu sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-10-1l9mf-966.webp) ### What drinks does Buja Hodu serve? The drink menu had a lineup for every taste — Americano, café latte, passion fruit ade, gold medal apple juice, Bundaberg grapefruit, and more. The Americano here in particular isn't made with regular commercial beans — it's blended and roasted by a Gyeongju coffee master, which raised my expectations even more ☕ ![Americano and walnut pastries at Buja Hodu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-11-1st43-966.webp) ![박스를 열어본 24pcs 믹스 구성](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-12-1pnys-966.webp) ![Cross-section of a red bean walnut pastry](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-13-1blhv-966.webp) ![Green pea cream cheese walnut pastry](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-14-155p9-966.webp) ![Close-up of a matcha walnut pastry](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-15-jdnsv-966.webp) ![Walnut pastries served alongside coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-16-5ubt0-966.webp) ## How did the 24pcs mix taste? 24pcs Mix Of all the walnut pastries (hodu-gwaja, walnut-shaped cakes) I've had, Buja Hodu's are the most packed inside, with the biggest walnuts — the definition of crisp outside, soft inside. The moment I opened the box I took home, I actually gasped out loud 🤩 The filling was generous too, so every bite was full of flavor !!!! :) The rich matcha and the thick, dense green pea cream cheese combo especially felt right on trend — a total hit for the 20s-30s crowd !!!! Paired with the Americano I'd also packed, the flavor balance was spot on. ![A nutty-tasting walnut pastry](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-17-x7wqu-966.webp) ![A bitten walnut pastry showing the filling inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-18-1f6px-966.webp) ![A Buja Hodu walnut pastry with a whole walnut inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-19-112g1-966.webp) ### Is the plain walnut flavor too boring? The walnut flavor itself was nutty and mild, which I personally found the most comfortable to eat. It wasn't too sweet or artificial-tasting, and the more I chewed, the more the nutty flavor came through — I kept reaching for another. The walnut's nuttiness and softness blended really well, and it also paired nicely with coffee or tea. At first I worried the walnut flavor alone might be a bit plain, but the flavor turned out richer than expected, and I think even people who don't love sweets would enjoy it. It's great as a light snack or something to grab when you're hungry — a flavor I'd want to buy again! ![Buja Hodu box packaged as a gift](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix-20-1nblr-966.webp) ## Storage and reheating tips, plus the verdict on Buja Hodu Review Lastly, a few small tips and my overall verdict for anyone visiting 💡 Buja Hodu's walnut pastries taste great at room temperature, but depending on your preference, freezing them slightly or warming them in an air fryer brings out a different charm — worth keeping in mind 🧊 The box packaging looks premium and clean, so it would also be perfect as a Gyeongju trip souvenir or a thank-you gift for friends haha 🎁 If you're tired of the usual desserts on Hwangnidan-gil, I genuinely recommend stopping by Buja Hodu for handmade walnut pastries with a whole different level of quality! 👍✨ ## Where it is - Buja Hodu (부자호두) - 38 B-dong 105-ho, Poseok-ro 1095beon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 경주시 포석로1095번길 38 B동 105호 - 35.8368363, 129.2075424 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EC%9E%90%ED%98%B8%EB%91%90/@35.8368363,129.2075424,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@bapjip-markers/gyeongju-hwangnidan-bujahodu-terrace-mix/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
