Two sisters arrived right as lunch service opened and ordered Korean beef minari gomtang for 14,000 won, Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap for 14,000 won and yukjeon for 27,000 won, finishing the whole spread comfortably between them. Because Useum Pangyo Branch lets each person pick a soup or a rice dish, it works well as a lunch meeting spot near Pangyo Station. ## Good to know - **Korean beef minari gomtang (beef and water dropwort soup)**: 14,000 won - **Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap (raw beef rice bowl)**: 14,000 won - **Yukjeon (pan-fried battered beef)**: 27,000 won - **Seating**: Mostly tables for four, group seating at the back, terrace seats available - **Ordering**: Order at your table - **Side dishes**: Refills available on request *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* ![Lunch spread at Useum Pangyo Branch, a Korean restaurant near Pangyo Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-01-lhsq7-1200.webp) ![Table with Korean beef menu items at Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-02-1fnbx-966.webp) ## Why we picked Useum Pangyo Branch for lunch near Pangyo Station On a day out in Pangyo with my sister, I wanted a proper Korean lunch. Rather than just grabbing something quick, I was in the mood for hot soup plus yukjeon (pan-fried beef) on the side, haha. So we finally went to Useum, a place I'd been eyeing on my commute for ages. They serve alcohol in the evenings too, and it always looked packed even at lunch, so it had been on my Pangyo Station list for a while. ## Inside Useum Pangyo Branch: seating and terrace > Interior ![Full view of the interior dining hall at Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-03-er36r-966.webp) ![Interior seating layout at Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-04-1l9ia-966.webp) ![Quiet interior of Useum Pangyo Branch at lunch opening time](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-05-matrx-m-966.webp) We went in right at lunch opening. It was fairly quiet when we arrived, but a bit later office workers came flooding in. Seating was fairly relaxed and mostly 4-person tables, which was great since the two of us could spread out even with just two people. ![Spacious 4-person table at Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-06-16j2o-966.webp) ![Group seating further inside Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-07-1b00z-966.webp) There was group seating further inside too, which looked like it would work well for a bigger dinner or a work gathering. ![Outdoor terrace seating at Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-08-1ak7g-966.webp) There's also a terrace, which seems perfect for a cool evening!! You order at the table, and the menu lineup is genuinely wild... ![Full menu lineup at Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-09-1c3qb-561.webp) ## What we ordered at Useum Pangyo Branch and what it cost We ordered Korean beef minari gomtang (beef and watercress soup), Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap, and yukjeon. > Korean beef minari gomtang: ₩14,000 > Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap: ₩14,000 > Yukjeon: ₩27,000 ![Basic side dish spread at Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-10-v6z1g-966.webp) They brought the side dishes out first. If you run low, just ask and they'll give you more! ![A bowl of Korean beef minari gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-11-179ta-966.webp) ## Korean beef minari gomtang, 14,000 won: full of water dropwort aroma I picked the gomtang because I wanted something hot and soupy, and it came absolutely loaded with minari (watercress), the aroma was amazing. ![Korean beef gomtang loaded with minari (watercress)](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-12-10j3c-966.webp) ![Different beef cuts inside the minari gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-13-g5c59-966.webp) There was plenty of meat too, different cuts mixed in, so no complaints about portion size... After going back and forth between the yukhoe bibimbap and yukjeon, sipping the gomtang broth just melted everything away. Would be great as a hangover soup the next day too, haha. And when we were choosing, the mini yukjeon caught my eye too... it looked like the perfect side when you're each ordering a full main for lunch, actually?! ![Mini yukjeon and yukjeon listed on the menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-14-ukfx1-966.webp) ## Yukjeon, 27,000 won: the full-size plate, not the mini version But since we were both starving that day, haha, we ended up just saying let's get the regular yukjeon, and went full-size, lol. ![A freshly fried plate of yukjeon at Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-15-1l08i-966.webp) And oh man, it was so, so good. Don't even hesitate, just order the yukjeon. Dip it hot in soy sauce with a bit of the chive salad on top and it's pure fantasy..!! The meat was tender and so tasty. ![Yukjeon served with soy sauce and chive salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-16-1o6ax-966.webp) ## Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap, 14,000 won: minari makes it eat like a salad And since we both suddenly craved it, we ordered yukhoe bibimbap (raw beef tartare rice bowl)! I'm sort of watching what I eat these days, but since it was a day out with my sister, I wanted to share a bit of everything. And yukhoe bibimbap covers the protein too, perfect choice..! ![Broth served alongside Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-17-h3m8d-966.webp) Ordering the yukhoe bibimbap gets you a different broth from the gomtang, and it's really delicious. The bibimbap itself had generous meat and was topped with a ton of minari, so it almost felt like eating a salad, and it was really satisfying. ![Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap topped with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-18-1cwvw-966.webp) ![Sauce served with the yukhoe bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-19-q4nez-966.webp) Mix in the sauce they give you and it just goes down effortlessly. ![Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-20-1c2l2-966.webp) Highly recommend the yukhoe bibimbap when you want a full bowl of rice!! ![An emptied bowl of yukhoe bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-21-iuo77-966.webp) With the yukjeon added in too, our two-person lunch table ended up pretty generous ^^ ![Gomtang, yukhoe bibimbap and yukjeon all together on the lunch table](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-22-wx1dt-966.webp) ![A generous full spread for two at Useum Pangyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch-23-1yyda-966.webp) ## Is Useum Pangyo Branch a good Pangyo Station lunch spot for two? When we ordered, I wondered if the yukjeon portion might be too much, but once we started eating, we cleared nearly all of it ^^ Needless worry. When you're setting up a lunch meeting near Pangyo Station, choosing what to order can honestly take a while. It's convenient when a place like Useum lets each person pick separately, one craving soup, the other craving a rice dish. Since the lunch crowd tends to build up fast, going right at opening time like we did is a good way to get a relaxed seat. On a day I was out with my sister in Pangyo and craving a hearty Korean lunch, I finally made it to Useum, the place I'd been curious about for a long time. ## Where it is - Useum Pangyo Branch (우슴 판교점) - 31 Daewangpangyo-ro 606beon-gil, 1st Floor, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 성남시 분당구 대왕판교로606번길 31 1층 우슴 - 37.3966292, 127.1110044 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9A%B0%EC%8A%B4%20%ED%8C%90%EA%B5%90%EC%A0%90/@37.3966292,127.1110044,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cupside-detours/useum-pangyo-minari-gomtang-yukjeon-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
