Private-room Korean restaurant in Pyeongtaek for family meals: Suksudaega

Hanok atmosphere and parking near Anjung Station

While looking for a good Korean set-meal restaurant in Pyeongtaek, I visited Suksudaega (숙수대가) near Anjung Station~ From its hanok (traditional Korean house)-styled exterior to the atmosphere inside, it was quite impressive! The food was served so neatly, and because everything was in private rooms, I could enjoy the meal comfortably, which really stayed with me.

It is located near Anjung Station. It is also close to the Korea Rural Community Corporation's Pyeongtaek branch, so it was not hard to find; when I arrived, the upscale hanok building immediately caught my eye.

The atmosphere felt special right from the entrance, and the waterwheel in the courtyard made it feel wonderfully picturesque~

There was plenty of parking, too~ You can park right in front of the building, and there is also a second parking lot to the side.

An interior where every table is a private room

Once inside, the refined feeling of the hanok continued! I was especially impressed that every table was set up as a private room. The space was separated from other diners, making it very private, and it was comfortable for chatting over a meal, too~

The atmosphere suited family gatherings, group gatherings, and even more formal occasions such as meeting the families before a wedding. If you are looking for a quiet yet elegant space, this is a Korean set-meal restaurant in Pyeongtaek worth remembering!

Set spreads and course menus

Looking over the menu, there were various course meals and set menus ready to choose from~

The weekday lunch special set spread was ₩19,000, while the weekday early-croaker special was ₩30,000.

The braised king short rib set and Beopseongpo borigulbi (dried yellow croaker) set were ₩39,000 on weekdays and ₩49,000 on weekends. There were also the ₩67,000 Jinyeonsang course and ₩94,000 Jinchansan course, so the choices were varied! The menu had a broad range, making it easy to choose according to the purpose of the visit or your budget.

A full spread of braised king short ribs and borigulbi sets

We ordered one braised king short rib set and one Beopseongpo borigulbi set.

After ordering, they first brought out warm hand towels. I loved the thoughtful service of making sure we could wipe our hands~

The meal began with sweet pumpkin porridge and dongchimi (water kimchi). The soft porridge gently settled the stomach, and the refreshing dongchimi cleansed the palate, making me look forward to the main meal even more!

Then the full table spread was laid out, and there were truly so many dishes.

The black sesame dressing salad was nutty and fresh, while the shrimp-and-pine-nut salad mixed cucumber, shrimp, and potato chips in a pine-nut sauce, making the crunchy texture fun, too.

The royal-style bulgogi cold salad was generously topped with mung bean sprouts and crispy fried burdock strips, along with bulgogi, so the texture was especially good~

The royal-style japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) had lots of burdock, giving it a great bite, and the blanched squid salad wraps came in bite-sized portions on perilla leaves, so they were easy to eat one by one! The tangy sauce really seemed to wake up the appetite, too.

The perilla-leaf jeon (pan-fried savory pancake) was so soft, and the tteokgalbi (grilled minced beef patty) was full of juices. Eating it with the shredded radish on top was a wonderful combination!

By the time I had tasted the yukhoe (Korean beef tartare), I was already quite full, so I was surprised that the mains were still to come~ It really was the generous spread you would expect from a great Korean set-meal restaurant in Pyeongtaek!

Finally, the stone-pot rice arrived with the braised king short ribs and borigulbi! The braised ribs had two large rib bones, and the seasoning was so good that mixing it with the rice was delicious. Above all, the meat was so tender that it practically melted in my mouth.

The borigulbi was quite large and had plenty of firm flesh. Having it with the nurungji (crispy scorched rice) from the stone pot added an extra nutty flavor, making it a real treat.

Doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) and side dishes came with it as well, so we could finish the meal feeling full! After the meal, we freshened up our palates with maesil-cha (plum tea)~

Wine and current events

They also sold wine to enjoy alongside the meal, and there were more varieties than I expected, so it is worth keeping in mind for a visit on a special day!

There is currently a review event and a Dom Pérignon discount as well, so keep that in mind if you would like to enjoy wine with your meal! Overall, I was pleased with everything from the atmosphere and food to the service. The private rooms let you dine at a relaxed pace, and the menu was plentiful, making it a great venue for a family meal or an important gathering. If you are looking for an atmospheric restaurant near Anjung Station, this is somewhere I would recommend~ It was satisfying enough to make me want to try another course next time.
