With baby meals, high chairs, roomy six-person tables, pot rice, and a generous self-serve bar, Dongam Tteokgalbi was a satisfying Korean meal out with a little one. Verdict: A lovely choice for a hearty Korean meal with a baby in Gijang. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3F, 160 Gijanghaean-ro, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea - **Hours**: 11:30–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–16:30; none on weekends - **Parking**: Parking available on the building's first floor - **Seating**: Mostly six-person tables; high chairs available - **Ordering**: Order by tablet - **Menu**: Original tteokgalbi, Cheongyang cream tteokgalbi, and baby meals *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* Gijang actually has quite a few kid-friendly places, but when I want to feed my little one a proper Korean meal with rice, the options seem to shrink so much 😢 You really start wondering where to go. Every time we go out, Yeondu ends up having udon or pork cutlet, but that day I really wanted her to have rice, so I found Dongam Tteokgalbi (동암떡갈비). It was great for the adults too, and great for babies to have a filling meal!! ## Dongam Tteokgalbi location and parking in Gijang It is right in front of Lotte Dongbusan Outlet and the luge. You can park on the building's first floor, and the lot was fairly spacious, so parking was easy. This building itself seemed to be full of good restaurants!! There were seriously so, so many people eating there. Out of them all, we picked Dongam Tteokgalbi on the third floor 🤞 ![The building where Dongam Tteokgalbi is located and restaurant directions](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-01-cybnz-900.webp) ![The third-floor area for visiting Dongam Tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-02-1mnkq-900.webp) ![Heading toward Dongam Tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-03-wco9g-900.webp) ## Spacious seating that is easy with a baby I heard there can be a long wait on weekends. I also liked that the waiting area was nicely set up ⭐️ It has the kind of style older diners would enjoy, but there were also lots of younger people inside craving Korean food!! And another thing I loved: the space was seriously so comfortable. Most of the tables seat six, so we had tons of room 😆 Plus, they have high chairs. ![Spacious six-person tables and high chairs in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-04-75uv8-900.webp) They also have a review event, so don't miss it. We could order by tablet, and there were baby meals as well as adult dishes 🙈 And honestly, I was shocked by the full spread that appeared as soon as we ordered. How many side dishes even were there? But that was not all. Then I saw the self-serve bar and thought, wow, are they making any money here? ![A Korean table setting of side dishes laid out after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-05-1f3ye-900.webp) ![A table setting filled with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-06-1fpve-900.webp) ![Side dishes served with the tteokgalbi order](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-07-1n6b7-900.webp) ![Dongam Tteokgalbi Korean meal set components](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-08-13l1p-900.webp) ![A meal setting with a variety of side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-09-1or7b-900.webp) ![Korean side dishes served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-10-1u0pz-900.webp) ![Dongam Tteokgalbi side dishes and self-serve bar information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-11-l8d54-900.webp) ![A meal prepared as a full table set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-12-10qhn-900.webp) ![Side dishes served with a tteokgalbi meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-13-1h78x-900.webp) ## Side dishes, the self-serve bar, and pot rice Making even one side dish is a lot of work, but they brought out a table full of them—and the self-serve bar had tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), tofu, and jeyuk (spicy stir-fried pork) too! I absolutely recommend it if you are a big eater. I honestly thought I could finish a whole bowl of rice before the main dish even arrived 😍 Of course, I only thought that. I could not actually eat that much. ![Generous side dishes and self-serve bar food before the main dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-14-111l5-900.webp) And the rice was served in a stone pot, no less. They brought hot water if you asked 🤭 We are team nurungji (scorched rice), so of course we asked for it. I like my rice a little firm, so I loved it, but my mom said it was slightly hardㅠ That is just a matter of taste, though!!! Now, on to checking out the self-serve bar 🤞 ![A self-serve bar with steamed egg and tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-15-7buav-900.webp) ![A self-serve bar with tofu and jeyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-16-ngo2x-900.webp) ![The self-serve bar setup with old-fashioned snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-17-1e1ye-900.webp) Steamed egg and tteokbokki—kids would go absolutely wild for this, right? 😆🙈 Even I, with my elementary-schooler palate, was so excited haha. I kept thinking, was there really a place in Gijang where you could eat like this? Even the old-fashioned snacks were such a nice touch. ## The original and Cheongyang cream tteokgalbi combo The tteokgalbi we ordered came as part of a set like this. We ordered one original and one Cheongyang cream tteokgalbi! ⭐️ I totally recommend ordering one of each. ![A full set with original and Cheongyang cream tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-18-1wk1w-1200.webp) ![The two tteokgalbi dishes we ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-19-1dq56-900.webp) Wow, this tteokgalbi was unbelievably tender. It broke apart with chopsticks and just melted in my mouth. The original was delicious in its own way, and the Cheongyang cream version was insanely good too. The cream-and-Cheongyang-chili combo was wild. I am ordering it again next time. ![Tender tteokgalbi eaten with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-20-282fs-900.webp) Dipped in the sauce they gave us, it seriously melted away in my mouth. A spoonful of rice topped with one of the side dishes? Ridiculously delicious 🥰 ![Doenjang jjigae with blue crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal-21-162kl-900.webp) And there was even jjigae (Korean stew)!!! The doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) was seriously delicious. It even had plenty of blue crab in it. There are not that many great places where you can enjoy a proper meal, a proper Korean meal, but I absolutely loved this one 😆 ## Where it is - Dongam Tteokgalbi (동암떡갈비) - 3F, 160 Gijanghaean-ro, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 기장군 기장읍 기장해안로 160 3층 - 35.1916366, 129.2166203 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%EC%95%94%EB%96%A1%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84/@35.1916366,129.2166203,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-paper-placemat/gijang-dongam-tteokgalbi-kids-meal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
