Gimhae Korean restaurant with bossam set meals: Myeongji Cheotjip

I visited Myeongji Cheotjip Jangyu Yulha Branch, a newly opened Gimhae Jangyu spot that is already becoming known among locals :) Its dishes, made with fresh ingredients, arrive in such neat presentations that it is perfect for anyone looking for a clean lunch spot in Gimhae Jangyu.

Myeongji Cheotjip Jangyu Yulha Branch: location and parking

Myeongji Cheotjip Jangyu Yulha Branch is on the second floor of A One Plaza. The exterior itself was the definition of neat and polished, so I was really looking forward to seeing the inside.

You get two hours of supported parking in the building's underground garage and two hours at Seomjin Parking Lot behind the building, so you can park comfortably before coming in.

A spacious interior where white meets wood

As soon as I stepped inside, the clean, upscale interior caught my eye. The mix of white and wood gave the whole space a warm feel. There were plenty of tables, with generous space between them, so it felt nice and relaxed. The staff were all kind too, which made the entire visit feel even better.

Along with the main dining area, there are private rooms where you can dine more privately. They are just right for all kinds of gatherings, family meals, or company dinners.

Baby chairs are available too, so guests visiting with little ones can eat comfortably. Detailed country-of-origin labels were displayed as well, so you can check where each ingredient comes from.

A varied menu, from lunch specials to bossam

Myeongji Cheotjip Jangyu Yulha Branch is also known as a lunch spot, with good-value lunch specials and set menus. Beyond the sets, there is plenty to choose from, including Tongyeong oyster bossam (boiled pork wraps), bossam suyuk (boiled pork), webfoot-octopus bossam, jokbal (braised pig's trotters), and bossam-jokbal.

• Neat bossam set meal, ₩15,000 per person × 2

This is what we ordered.

A neat bossam set meal served individually

Ta-da! Our neat bossam set meals arrived shortly after.

It comes out so beautifully arranged, just like its name suggests. I can see why so many people seek it out as a great lunch restaurant in Jangyu Yulha.

It is a full spread that makes your mouth water just looking at it: moist, tender bossam, tofu, kimchi, a fresh salad, steamed egg, doenjang-jjigae (soybean-paste stew), wrap vegetables, seasoned fish cake, and gungchae (seasoned stem lettuce).

Since it comes as an individual setting, it looked even neater and more appetizing. The doenjang-jjigae was packed with tofu and zucchini, giving it a deep flavor. It was not overly strong, so I think it would suit all ages and tastes. And the fluffy steamed egg—what more is there to say? It was nutty and soft, perfect for waking up the appetite.

The salad with its fresh citron dressing was so refreshing and delicious too.

The moist, tender bossam combination

The highlight of the bossam set meal was, of course, the moist and tender bossam.

There was a generous amount of shredded radish salad and kimchi too, making them great to eat with the tofu and bossam.

There was no unwanted pork smell, and the balance of lean meat and fat was just right, making it extra tender and delicious. The pork itself was so good that every combination tasted great haha. It was delicious on its own, but personally, my favorite was making a wrap with shredded radish salad, kimchi, and garlic. The tofu-and-kimchi pairing was the best too. I was so satisfied—it felt like I had enjoyed a healthy, delicious meal.

Finishing with citron tea and a nutty Americano

There are citron tea, maesil tea (plum tea), and a coffee machine, so you can finish your meal on a clean note too haha. The coffee here is excellent as well. The Americano was nutty and smooth without acidity—exactly my taste. It had been a while since I had a hot coffee, and both the aroma and flavor were lovely.

ZeroPay and Naver Pay are accepted too, making payment easy.
