# Yangpyeong hanjeongsik private room course for 3: Ochan Hoedong - By Sua Chun (https://superchart.com/en/@bundang-window-seat/) - Written Sep 14, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This review was written after receiving a complimentary meal from the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@bundang-window-seat/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@bundang-window-seat/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/index.md) ## In short Ochan Hoedong is a hanjeongsik (Korean set-course) restaurant in Gangsang-myeon, Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi, built around eco-friendly, organic-certified ingredients and fermented flavors. The writer drove out with her mom and aunt, reserved by phone, and ate the 59,000-won-per-person 'Ochan Hoedong' course in a private room, from gim-bugak (crispy fried seaweed) to gyulhwagwajeul (candied citrus sweets), with the soybean-steeped water and 10-year aged doenjang stew the most memorable dishes. For a family gathering that wants a lightly seasoned course eaten slowly, Ochan Hoedong is a good fit. ## Good to know - **Course prices**: Ochan Hoedong 59,000 won / Jinsuseongchan 79,000 won / Gukbinmanchan 200,000 won - **Hours**: 11:30 AM–8:00 PM (Wednesdays close at 2:30 PM) - **Break time**: 3:00 PM–5:30 PM - **Closed**: Every Thursday - **Parking**: Available in front of the restaurant - **Seating**: Private rooms available (called ahead, then shown to a room on arrival) - **Items for sale**: Ceramic dishes and small goods, fermented vinegar *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* The weather's been so nice lately that I went on a drive to Yangpyeong with my mom and aunt. Yangpyeong is a great drive destination near Seoul, and since there are so many places to enjoy a café or a walk after a meal, it's a spot that's good for couples as well as families. This time we visited Ochan Hoedong, a Yangpyeong hanjeongsik (Korean set-course meal) restaurant that uses eco-friendly, organic-certified domestic ingredients along with deep fermented flavors. Having been there myself, I'd recommend it to anyone who prefers a healthy hanjeongsik style enjoyed slowly, course by course. ## Where is Ochan Hoedong, and what are the hours and parking? Ochan Hoedong is located on Gangnam-ro in Gangsang-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, and is open from 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM. On Wednesdays it closes at 2:30 PM, break time runs from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM, and it's closed every Thursday. ![Ochan Hoedong business hours signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-01-tcaun-966.webp) This Yangpyeong hanjeongsik spot has different opening hours on weekdays versus weekends, plus a break time and a closed day, so definitely check the hours before you visit. ![Exterior of Ochan Hoedong in Gangsang-myeon, Yangpyeong, with parking in front](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-02-1cqez-966.webp) Parking is available right in front of the restaurant, which sits on the left side along the road heading from Toechon toward Yangpyeong. ## Inside Ochan Hoedong: the dining room and private room seating The interior of Ochan Hoedong was overall a clean white tone accented with wood, giving the space a calm yet warm feeling. Traditional-style decor pieces and tableware were naturally placed throughout, so the atmosphere of the food and the space matched well. ![Interior of Ochan Hoedong with white tones and wood accents](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-03-1ycln-966.webp) ![Ochan Hoedong hall seating with traditional decor pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-04-y4sl4-966.webp) ![Space at Ochan Hoedong arranged with tableware and decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-05-j30bk-966.webp) ![Calm interior view of Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-06-ojl7h-966.webp) ![Interior design near the entrance of Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-07-yuxmb-966.webp) The ceramic dishes and decor near the entrance caught my eye right away — they're actually for sale, so anyone into tableware or ceramics would enjoy browsing here. ![Ceramic dishes for sale displayed near the entrance of Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-08-1lupi-966.webp) ![Fermented vinegar for sale displayed at Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-09-d40c3-966.webp) Since Ochan Hoedong pursues the deep flavor of fermentation that only time can create, it turns out they also sell their own vinegar. Another great thing about Ochan Hoedong is that they have space for private dining. I called ahead before visiting, and I was shown to a room where we could eat privately. ## Ochan Hoedong course options and prices ![Ochan Hoedong course menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-10-u2wwc-966.webp) This Yangpyeong hanjeongsik restaurant offers three course options. - The most standard option, Ochan Hoedong, ₩59,000 - A more generous course, Jinsuseongchan, ₩79,000 - Gukbinmanchan, a royal-cuisine course for special occasions, ₩200,000 ## What came in the 59,000-won 'Ochan Hoedong' course for three Our family ordered three servings of the Ochan Hoedong course, and the first thing served was boiled soybean water. I normally don't eat soybeans at all, but this water was so tasty — even though the food overall wasn't heavily seasoned, the water itself was so good I drank two whole servings haha. ![Boiled soybean water served at the start of the Ochan Hoedong course](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-11-1izit-966.webp) ### Appetizers: gim-bugak (crispy fried seaweed) and seasonal salad The first appetizer was gim-bugak (crispy seasoned seaweed snack)! In this kind of humid, up-and-down weather it can go soggy fast, but this one was so crispy, nutty, and salty that it really got my appetite going. ![Gim-bugak appetizer at Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-12-1iymt-966.webp) The next appetizer was a seasonal salad with a really tasty dressing. It wasn't a typical oriental or balsamic dressing but seemed to be house-made at Ochan Hoedong — tangy without being too sharp, letting the vegetables' own flavor come through. ![Ochan Hoedong seasonal salad with house-made dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-13-rpu00-966.webp) ### The warm porridge course A warm porridge with a salty yet nutty flavor lingering in the mouth! Made with peanuts, pumpkin, and chestnuts, it was soothing on the stomach. ![Warm porridge with peanuts, pumpkin, and chestnuts at Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-14-1g1rd-966.webp) ![Table setting for the warm porridge course at Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-15-13djw-966.webp) ### 3-year aged fermented vinegar and Yangpyeong mushroom japchae Next came Yangpyeong mushroom japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), served alongside a 3-year aged fermented vinegar to sip like wine. ![3-year aged fermented vinegar and Yangpyeong mushroom japchae](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-16-xodjl-966.webp) I expected the 3-year fermented vinegar to be really sharp, but it actually had a sweet taste almost like a soft drink, which made it great for cleansing the palate. ![Ochan Hoedong's 3-year aged fermented vinegar in a glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-17-ly9q3-966.webp) The japchae with mushrooms, a Yangpyeong specialty, wasn't too sweet and had just the right seasoning, so it wasn't overpowering at all. The glass noodles weren't overly soft either — they had just the right chewy texture. When the noodles themselves are too long they're hard to portion out, but these were just the right length to lift cleanly with chopsticks in one go, which I appreciated. ### Acorn jelly salad with mustard dressing After the japchae came acorn jelly (dotorimuk) tossed with mustard sauce. Rather than the usual soft, jiggly acorn jelly, this one had been slightly dried and then rehydrated, giving it a chewy texture that made it fun to eat. ![Chewy acorn jelly with mustard sauce at Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-18-ujp75-966.webp) The sharp kick of the mustard made my mouth feel instantly refreshed. It seemed to play the role of resetting the palate after the previous dishes, which worked really well in the course structure. ![Ssigangjang Korean beef tteokgalbi served with eggplant and zucchini](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-19-z5p29-1200.webp) ### Main course: Korean beef tteokgalbi in heirloom soy sauce What could be called the main dish, ssigangjang (seed soy sauce) Korean beef tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties), is served with eggplant, zucchini, and mushrooms. Tteokgalbi can easily turn out too sweet or too strongly seasoned, but Ochan Hoedong's version centered on the savory flavor of Korean beef and the deep richness of the seed soy sauce. Each bite was tender, with the clean flavor of the meat coming through first, followed by a subtle soy sauce note that kept things clean-tasting. ![A plate of ssigangjang Korean beef tteokgalbi at Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-20-1t9q3-966.webp) ![Grilled vegetables served alongside the tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-21-19xdh-966.webp) ![Main course table setting at Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-22-7s5ci-966.webp) ### Lotus leaf rice with 10-year aged doenjang stew The main meal was lotus leaf rice with doenjang stew, along with side dishes of pickled cucumber, seasoned eggplant, stir-fried anchovies, and seasoned zucchini. ![Lotus leaf rice, 10-year aged doenjang stew, and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-23-jdz0b-966.webp) The doenjang stew in particular was made with 10-year aged doenjang (fermented soybean paste), and rather than being sharply salty it stood out for its savory, deep flavor. It was my first time trying 10-year aged doenjang, and coming to Ochan Hoedong to have this kind of stew was a memorable, different sort of meal. It was also my first time having lotus leaf rice — the rice carried a subtle lotus leaf aroma that made it feel quite different from plain white rice. The side dishes served alongside were neat and clean, so I didn't feel heavy or bloated even after the meal. ### Dessert: aged strawberry vinegar and gyulhwagwajeul (candied citrus sweets) For the final dessert, we had aged strawberry vinegar and gyulhwagwajeul (candied citrus rice snack). A full course all the way through dessert — that's Ochan Hoedong for you, a great Yangpyeong spot! It looked like alcohol, but the owner told us upfront that it contained no alcohol at all. It had a subtle strawberry aroma, so drinking it felt like sipping sparkling wine, and it was really delicious. ![Aged strawberry vinegar and gyulhwagwajeul served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course-24-1dwgn-966.webp) It was my first time trying gyulhwagwajeul — crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and not too sweet, making it the perfect final dessert. ## Who is Ochan Hoedong best for? These days a lot of restaurants lead with strong sweetness, spiciness, or saltiness, but Ochan Hoedong leaned more toward highlighting the flavor of the ingredients themselves and the deep richness that comes from fermentation. In particular, the dishes made with fermented vinegar, seed soy sauce, and aged doenjang stayed with me. You might think fermented food could have a strong smell or be an acquired taste, but from what I ate, it felt less like something off-putting and more like something that deepened the flavor of the dishes. If you're looking for an atmospheric hanjeongsik restaurant in Yangpyeong, a place to take your parents, or a spot for a family gathering, I'd recommend Ochan Hoedong! ## Where it is - Ochan Hoedong (오찬회동) - 661 Gangnam-ro, Gangsang-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 양평군 강상면 강남로 661 1층 오찬회동 - 37.4991074, 127.4550497 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EC%B0%AC%ED%9A%8C%EB%8F%99/@37.4991074,127.4550497,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@bundang-window-seat/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-family-room-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
