A couple ordered the special spicy fern sundae-guk suyuk set (15,000 won) and the special spicy fern sticky-rice-crust pork gukbap suyuk set (14,000 won) for 29,000 won total, which brought two servings of suyuk (boiled pork slices) plus lung and liver, and the soup bowls were too big to finish. Sinjuokmi is a Blue Ribbon gukbap restaurant generous enough that two people only need to order one set meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 52 Jangsin-ro 20beonan-gil, 1st floor, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju (Jangdeok-dong) - **Hours**: 07:00 to 03:00 the next morning - **Parking**: Public parking lot next to the building - **What we ordered**: Special spicy fern sundae-guk suyuk set 15,000 won / special spicy fern sticky-rice-crust pork gukbap suyuk set 14,000 won, 29,000 won total - **Suyuk boiling times**: From noon, every 2 hours - **Review event**: Leave a Naver review for a purple sweet potato rice puff worth 4,000 won, first 10 people a day - **Price reference**: ₩15,000 ≈ $11 · ₩14,000 ≈ $10 · ₩29,000 ≈ $21 (2026-09-17) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Full spread of sundae-guk and suyuk at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-01-16oao-1200.webp) My boyfriend and I had to go down to Gwangju, and while I was wondering what to eat for lunch, I found out there's an incredible restaurant called Sinjuokmi in the Suwan District. I searched it up and it turned out to be a famous Suwan District Korean lunch spot serving sundae-guk (blood sausage soup) with suyuk (boiled pork) too!! A real Blue Ribbon-certified suyuk gukbap place!! My boyfriend and I went in with high expectations >< ## Where is Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch, and what are the hours? - Address: 52 Jangsin-ro 20beonan-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - Hours: 07:00–03:00 (next day) - Parking: public parking lot next to the building ## Sinjuokmi's menu: for two people, one set meal is enough ![Gukbap menu board at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-02-u9c3r-900.webp) ![Set meal menu board at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-03-xnaf2-900.webp) ![Menu information board at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-04-wy4u7-900.webp) ![Sundae menu guide at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-05-msm45-900.webp) ![Menu price list at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-06-dv7ie-900.webp) ![Menu description board at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-07-146w1-900.webp) ![Detail page of the menu at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-08-k7v2r-900.webp) The menu at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch is roughly split into regular gukbap dishes OR set meals, and if two people are going I'd actually recommend just one person order a set meal! The amount of meat that comes out is bigger than you'd think, seriously ㄷㄷ The suyuk set and sundae set are both so famous that we agonized over what to order, and ended up with the special spicy fern sundae-guk suyuk set (₩15,000) and the special spicy fern sticky-rice-crust pork gukbap suyuk set (₩14,000), for ₩29,000 total. How can it be this cheap when suyuk comes with the set!! Just a heads up that one set meal is enough for two people haha. ![Basic side dish spread at Sinjuokmi Suwan District branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-09-1uwu8-900.webp) ![Basic side dishes served in pretty bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-10-1rp23-900.webp) ## Side dishes and the self-serve bar at Sinjuokmi The basic side dishes come out in pretty bowls like this, and any extra sides you want you can scoop yourself at the self-serve bar. You can also get more chives and napa cabbage kimchi. ![Self-serve side bar with chives and napa cabbage kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-11-h7f53-900.webp) On one side of the table there was perilla seed powder, chili paste, and salted shrimp to add into the gukbap. You can customize it to your own taste :) ![Corner of the table with perilla powder, chili paste, and salted shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-12-1fq9v-900.webp) They said if you leave a Naver review you also get a ₩4,000 purple sweet potato rice puff! It's limited to 10 people a day, so hurry and grab one~~ haha ![Sign for the purple sweet potato rice puff review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-13-1eexo-900.webp) ### Suyuk is boiled from noon, every 2 hours They said freshly boiled pork comes out starting at noon, every 2 hours after that. If you go during one of those windows you're bound to get really delicious meat, right? haha We went a bit after 1pm. ![Sign about suyuk boiling times and restaurant interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-14-hztfe-900.webp) ![Gukbap and suyuk set meal laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-15-kjy32-900.webp) ## Sticky-rice-crust pork gukbap: the rice is already in the soup Ta-da~~ this is the sticky-rice-crust pork gukbap. Literally, sticky rice crust is rolled in inside, so there's no separate bowl of rice served. I took a bite and the 'rice' really did taste like scorched rice crust. It was my first time having rice crust in a gukbap, and it's genuinely a special treat. ![Pork gukbap with sticky rice crust rolled in](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-16-pk9ev-900.webp) There's so much meat inside, plus gosari (fernbrake), and the combination of gosari and suyuk was really great. The portion was huge and the broth was ridiculously rich. It's the kind of taste that makes you crave soju lol. ![Inside of the gukbap packed with gosari and meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-17-1fy3q-900.webp) ## The suyuk set for two, with lung and liver And here's the suyuk!! Since we both ordered set meals, this is 2 servings' worth haha. It might look like a small portion, but the gukbap itself was so filling we couldn't finish everything~~ ㅠㅠ The meat was really delicious, though... a shame!!! Lung and liver come with it too >< ![Suyuk set for two served with lung and liver](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-18-1u4if-900.webp) I dipped the suyuk lightly in ssamjang (dipping sauce) and it was so tender, savory, and had a great texture. Seriously, why isn't a gukbap place with this kind of value near my house..? ㅠ ![Tender suyuk dipped in ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-19-yssb6-900.webp) ![Gosari and meat scooped out of the gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-20-bg319-900.webp) ## Fern is the hook, and the sundae is Byeongcheon-style Can you see all the gosari and meat? It just keeps coming, packed generously with organ meats too. And the sundae in the sundae-guk turned out to be byeongcheon sundae, which I love. This gosari was a bigger hook than I expected. I think I get why it's a Blue Ribbon restaurant haha. It would also be perfect for curing a hangover. ![Inside of the sundae-guk loaded with organ meats](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-21-7pkf0-900.webp) ![Byeongcheon sundae pieces inside the gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-22-c7mre-900.webp) I prefer byeongcheon sundae over chapssal (sticky rice) sundae, and this gukbap had 4 pieces of byeongcheon sundae in it. There's also a ton of meat in the sundae-guk. They said they boil it 4 times a day, and maybe that's why it was extra chewy. They said it's homemade sundae too. Thanks to this, I had a hearty lunch before a long drive :) ![Emptied gukbap bowl at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch/suwan-sinjuokmi-suyuk-jeongsik-duo-lunch-23-1ii5g-900.webp) All cleared!
