Korean set meal with mushroom tangsu in Gyeongsan: Haenyeo Sotbap

Haenyeo Sotbap Gyeongsan is a Korean set-meal restaurant on Baekcheon-gil in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk, serving a 13-side-dish spread, with a private-room annex and two dedicated parking lots for family gatherings. On a dinner visit with a baby, the writer ordered the Jeju green tea eel pot rice (sotbap) and the abalone-packed seafood stew in an earthenware pot, sampled mushroom tangsu (sweet-and-sour fried mushrooms) and grilled Spanish mackerel, and finished with coffee. With satisfying food, atmosphere and staff service, Haenyeo Sotbap Gyeongsan works well even for an in-law meeting or a first birthday party.

Gyeongsan hanjeongsik scouted before bringing parents: Bapeul Jitda

Bapeul Jitda Gyeongsan Main Branch is a hanjeongsik (Korean full-table set meal) restaurant on Samseonghyeon-ro in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk. Before bringing her parents, the writer scouted Bapeul Jitda with her partner, ordering the spring 1-person set (hijiki seaweed stone-pot bibimbap and doenjang jjigae) and the summer 1-person set (live abalone mulhoe and live abalone porridge); everything from the starters to the beef brisket mushroom hot pot was mild rather than heavily seasoned. With a large private parking lot, private rooms and free corkage, Bapeul Jitda Gyeongsan Main Branch is an easy recommendation for family gatherings and first meetings between families.
