The September course ran from fig and tofu cream cheese to plum granita, with grilled napa cabbage and tender pork tenderloin steak as standouts. Verdict: a great-value choice for a special dinner with a changing monthly menu. ## Good to know - **Course price**: ₩35,000 / ₩50,000 per person - **September course**: Fig & tofu cream cheese, grilled napa cabbage, gopchang tacos, daily pasta, pork tenderloin steak, plum granita - **Seating**: Bar-style seating - **Wine**: Wine room available *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## Matgim in Geomdan New Town: ₩35,000 course per person I visited Matgim (맡김), an omakase-style bar that is perfect when you want to enjoy a special evening in Geomdan New Town! I had been looking for a stylish bar or izakaya, and what I loved most was being able to enjoy a course meal for ₩35,000 per person. Omakase or course meals can sound expensive, but Matgim lets you try a range of dishes course-style at a relatively approachable price. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a great-value bar in Geomdan New Town :) The first thing that caught my eye when I entered was the menu and information written on the mirror! ![Matgim menu and visitor information written on a mirror](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-01-1qf11-966.webp) ![Matgim menu and visitor information written on a mirror](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-02-ltzx8-966.webp) Matgim offers ₩35,000 and ₩50,000 courses per person, and you can taste a variety of dishes depending on that day’s menu and course lineup. The September menu when I visited listed a course of fig & tofu cream cheese, grilled napa cabbage, gopchang tacos, daily pasta, pork tenderloin steak, and plum granita! What I especially liked was that the course changes every month! Even if you come back, you won’t be eating the exact same menu—you can enjoy new dishes suited to the season and seasonal ingredients. Before visiting, it would be nice to check Matgim’s Instagram or Naver updates for that month’s course 😊 ![Matgim’s monthly course meal information](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-03-14v0h-966.webp) *Course meal_Shusuming* ![Matgim visitor information in Geomdan New Town](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-04-1eozp-966.webp) *Matgim_Shusuming* > Leave the food to us and enjoy. This phrase stood out to me the most. That’s when I realized that this is the meaning behind the name Matgim—“leave it to us.” Matgim’s shrimp soup noodles are apparently a signature dish!! They said they taste a little like tom yum goong, but I’m not someone who readily tries foods I haven’t had before 😅 so I passed this time. ![Information about Matgim’s signature shrimp soup noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-05-1diut-966.webp) *Matgim_Shusuming* ![Inside Matgim in Geomdan New Town](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-06-sv38x-966.webp) *Geomdan bar_Shusuming* ## Bar seating and September’s seasonal ade The seating is set up like a bar, so you can watch the staff cook right in front of you!! There is also a wine room on one side, which seems great for wine lovers who want to look over the bottles and choose one themselves. ![September strawberry mint seasonal ade](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-07-uqptx-966.webp) *Seasonal ade_Shusuming* September’s seasonal ade was strawberry mint ade!! The combination of strawberry and mint worked incredibly well. ![First course of figs and tofu cream cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-08-1kyt8-966.webp) ![First course of figs and tofu cream cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-09-1z010-966.webp) ## Six dishes in the September course ### First: Fig & tofu cream cheese I liked that they explained every dish as it arrived, including what it was and how to eat it. I wondered, “Tofu cream cheese? Will it be good?” But it was so, so delicious!!!!! I wanted to order more right away. Starting with something fresh and nutty made me even more excited for the rest of the course. ![Grilled napa cabbage topped with bacon and scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-10-1l5cf-966.webp) *Grilled napa cabbage_Shusuming* ![Grilled napa cabbage with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-11-14g2p-966.webp) *Grilled napa cabbage_Shusuming* ### Second: Grilled napa cabbage At first, when I saw grilled napa cabbage on the course, I thought, “Huh… grilled cabbage… I should give it all to Weather Fairy…” But once I tasted it, it was so good that I stole it all for myself hahaha. The bacon and scallions on top were tasty too, but that sauce poured over the sweet grilled cabbage was the real kicker!!! I felt like I could eat a whole head of cabbage.. 🤤 ![Gopchang tacos served with lime](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-12-ddpwx-966.webp) ![Beef and pork gopchang tacos](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-13-iakjy-966.webp) ### Third: Gopchang tacos The gopchang tacos were filled with finely chopped beef and pork gopchang (offal), then topped with salsa and cilantro. They told us to squeeze lots of the lime served alongside over them!! It’s no secret that I left off the cilantro because I don’t like it... 🤫 The gopchang was pleasantly chewy and nutty. ![Mushroom cream daily pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-14-16cvc-966.webp) ![Mushroom cream pasta with orecchiette](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-15-1uans-966.webp) ### Fourth: Daily pasta It seems that the daily pasta is different every time you visit. We got mushroom cream pasta!! The pasta was orecchiette, which is shaped like little ears!! It was wonderfully chewy with a great texture. It kind of felt like eating sujebi (hand-torn dough soup)? ![Tender pork tenderloin steak course](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-16-m1fsv-1200.webp) ![Pork tenderloin steak, the fifth course](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-17-1fgf8-966.webp) ### Fifth: Pork tenderloin steak The pork tenderloin steak taught me something.. Pork can be this tender and melt in your mouth... 🥺 As someone who only knew pork neck, pork belly, and pork jowl, I wondered whether I was even worthy of eating something this precious hahaha. ![Plum granita topped with Shine Muscat grapes and jelly](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-18-1ylwl-966.webp) ![Refreshing plum granita dessert to finish](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course-19-1hpyp-966.webp) ### Sixth: Plum granita This dessert was plum sherbet topped with Shine Muscat grapes and jelly!! The plum and Shine Muscat combination made for such a refreshing finish that I thought it was the perfect course meal!! ## A special dinner without the pressure The thing that surprised me most on this visit was definitely the price. A range of dishes in a course for ₩35,000 per person! It seems perfect for anyone who wants to eat somewhere atmospheric on a special day but finds very expensive omakase too much. It had a lovely atmosphere for having delicious food and a drink with a friend, or for enjoying a slightly special meal on a date. Since the food comes out one dish at a time, it was nice for slowly chatting over dinner with friends or enjoying an unhurried date :) Personally, Matgim’s biggest charm was getting to discover a new course menu every month. It isn’t a place you visit just once and finish with; the menu can change with the seasons and seasonal ingredients, so it made me curious about what might come out next month. If you’re planning a visit, checking what course is prepared that month beforehand will make the meal even more exciting 😊 Ordering individual dishes at an izakaya or bar is great too, but sometimes it is fun in a different way to enjoy a course while wondering what food will come next. If you’re looking for a bar in Geomdan New Town that feels a little different from the usual, I recommend Matgim for its great-value course meal! ## Where it is - Matgim (맡김) (맡김) - 129, 1F, 788 Seogot-ro, Geomdan-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 검단구 서곶로 788 1층 129호 - 37.5881561, 126.6752901 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%A1%EA%B9%80/@37.5881561,126.6752901,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@day-in-seoul/geomdan-matgim-monthly-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
