# Samgye-dong, Gimhae set-menu lunch with parking stamp: Gaya Kkeutjip - By Jueun (https://superchart.com/en/@busan-banchan-book/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Gimhae, Gyeongnam - Sponsored: This is a review after visiting with a meal provided by the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@busan-banchan-book/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@busan-banchan-book/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/index.md) ## In short Gaya Kkeutjip Samgye is a Korean set-menu restaurant on Gaya-ro 181beon-gil in Samgye-dong, Gimhae, open daily from 11:00 to 21:00. A lunchtime visit meant a short wait, then the Kkeutjip C-set with steamed ray, mackerel grilled in a 500-degree clay oven, house-made tofu and seasoned raw crab, with side dishes refilled through the table-order tablet and a parking stamp from the lot next door. The seasoning at Gaya Kkeutjip is gentle and tidy, which makes it an easy choice for a meal with parents. ## Good to know - **Location**: 6 Gaya-ro 181beon-gil, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do (1st floor) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **What we ordered**: Kkeutjip C-set (steamed ray, clay-oven grilled fish, grilled house-made tofu, yangnyeom gejang seasoned raw crab, homemade side dishes) - **Parking**: Lot beside the restaurant; say you parked there and staff stamp your receipt - **How to order**: Table-order tablet, also used to request extra side dishes *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* I was craving clean, well-made Korean food for lunch, so I went to Gaya Kkeutjip in Samgye-dong, Gimhae. As soon as I arrived, I was relieved to see a spacious parking lot, so I could walk in without worrying about parking. > Gaya Kkeutjip ![Exterior of Gaya Kkeutjip in Samgye-dong, Gimhae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-01-1xzh9-900.webp) > Location: 6 Gaya-ro 181beon-gil, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do / Hours: daily 11:00–21:00 ![Entrance and signage at Gaya Kkeutjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-02-izmaw-900.webp) ## Parking at Gaya Kkeutjip: don't forget the stamp for the lot next door There's a parking lot next to Gaya Kkeutjip. If you tell staff you parked there, they'll stamp your receipt like this. Just hand over the stamped receipt when you leave. Don't forget to get it stamped!! ![Receipt with parking stamp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-03-13mwx-900.webp) ## How long is the lunch wait at Gaya Kkeutjip? This place is so popular that when I showed up right at lunchtime, there was already a wait! ![Lunchtime waiting line at Gaya Kkeutjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-04-1ek6x-m-900.webp) ![Waiting seats outside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-05-174ip-900.webp) Luckily there was comfortable waiting seating both inside and outside the restaurant, so I calmly waited my turn. Once I stepped inside, the place was packed and buzzing with customers — so full that I honestly couldn't take as many interior photos as I wanted, haha. ![Interior of Gaya Kkeutjip packed with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-06-1toya-900.webp) Once seated, I ordered smartly through the table-order tablet. Extra side dishes could also be requested easily through the tablet without needing to flag down staff — really convenient. ![Table-order screen and seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-07-1tw5j-1200.webp) ## What comes with the Kkeutjip C-set What I ordered that day was the Kkeutjip C-set. It comes with steamed ray, clay-oven grilled fish, house-made grilled tofu, seasoned crab, and house side dishes — a really substantial lineup. ![Menu description of the Kkeutjip C-set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-08-kfei6-900.webp) After ordering, a clean, generous spread arrived that practically buckled the table. The basic side dishes alone were on a whole other level. ![Table fully spread with the Kkeutjip C-set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-09-b9v9q-899.webp) The table was set with fresh salad, savory perilla-oil clay-oven grilled tofu made daily in-house, seasoned crab low-temperature aged for 15 days for a mild yet deep flavor, and umami-rich Sinan gopchang-gim (thick-cut Sinan laver). ![Perilla-oil clay-oven grilled tofu and seasoned crab side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-10-1uf7f-900.webp) The seaweed soup that came with it was also deeply flavorful, but with so many varied, generous side dishes on the table, I barely had the mental bandwidth to fully enjoy it! ![Seaweed soup served with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-11-16e6o-900.webp) ## How the 500-degree clay-oven mackerel tastes Next came mackerel grilled in a 500-degree clay oven. I don't usually go out of my way to eat mackerel, but the mackerel here was perfect — the kind of dish where 'demolished' is the only word that fits. Crispy outside, juicy inside, textbook execution. ![Mackerel grilled in a 500-degree clay oven](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-12-t4pem-900.webp) ![Crispy-outside, juicy-inside mackerel flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-13-1amki-900.webp) ![Rice and mackerel wrapped in Sinan gopchang-gim](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-14-xcs8j-900.webp) Piling warm rice on Sinan gopchang-gim, adding a plump piece of mackerel, and wrapping it up was an absolute rice thief. Adding the seasoned crab on top too made for an insane combination. ![Meal with mackerel and seasoned crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-15-our6g-900.webp) ## Steamed ray (gaori-jjim): my first time trying it And then the main dish I'd been looking forward to arrived — steamed ray (gaori-jjim)! ![Steamed ray served as the main dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-16-1mwss-900.webp) I'd never eaten ray in my life, and it turned out to be a completely different charm from what I imagined a typical grilled or braised fish would be — really fascinating. The flesh pulled apart cleanly along its grain, plump and generous in portion. ![Steamed ray flesh pulling apart along its grain](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-17-1qmk9-900.webp) There was also garae-tteok (cylindrical rice cake) soaked in the sauce, and snipping it with scissors to dip in the seasoning was a real treat. ![Rice cake soaked in the steamed ray's seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-18-1xol0-900.webp) Piling the ray on top of cabbage to eat is the move. ![Steamed ray served over cabbage](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-19-1oqrl-900.webp) ![Side dishes paired with the steamed ray](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-20-1cdsd-900.webp) The side dishes were so substantial and delicious that I diligently refilled extras through the table order and cleaned every single bowl before leaving. ![Refilled side dishes ordered through the table tablet](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-21-bxh16-900.webp) Every single side dish was made with real care and the whole spread was so satisfying that I wiped every bowl clean before I left. ![Empty bowls after finishing the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch-22-17z8y-900.webp) ## Why Gaya Kkeutjip works for a meal with parents The food overall wasn't too salty and had a clean, refined quality, so I kept thinking this would be perfect for a meal with parents or elders. And on your way out, don't forget to get your parking receipt stamped! If you're looking for a clean, generous Korean set meal to enjoy a healthy, delicious meal with your parents, I highly recommend Gaya Kkeutjip in Samgye-dong! ## Where it is - Gaya Kkeutjip Samgye (가야끝집 삼계) - 6 Gaya-ro 181beon-gil, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, 1F - 경상남도 김해시 가야로181번길 6 1층 가야끝집 - 35.2613559, 128.8725408 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%80%EC%95%BC%EB%81%9D%EC%A7%91%20%EC%82%BC%EA%B3%84/@35.2613559,128.8725408,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-banchan-book/gimhae-samgye-gayakkeutjip-hansik-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
