A Gumi Indong lunch at Imgane Nakji Bossam
Today I'm bringing a lunch spot I'd recommend in Gumi Indong — Imgane Nakji Bossam! I ordered the Imgane Han-sang set, which let me enjoy both octopus stir-fry and boiled pork together, and it was great. Here's my full review after a very tasty meal!

The big Imgane Nakji Bossam sign made it easy to find! It says right on the sign that it's a nakji bossam (octopus and boiled pork) specialty restaurant, so you know exactly what to expect at a glance.
Inside Imgane Nakji Bossam: baby chairs and barley tea
Inside, Imgane Nakji Bossam was bigger and cleaner than I expected. There were wide tables and comfortable chairs, with generous spacing between tables, making it easy to eat comfortably.
The overall warm wood-tone interior made for a cozy vibe. It seemed great for a work lunch with colleagues, and also fine for a family meal out.
They even have baby chairs ready for little guests.
The basic water is barley tea, served in a neat bottle, which somehow made it feel like a fancy Korean restaurant haha.
Self-serve eggs: one free per person at Imgane Nakji Bossam
The self-serve egg corner caught my eye — one free egg per person!! It said extra eggs are ₩500, but getting one egg free (which pairs so well with the octopus stir-fry) and being able to cook it yourself to whatever doneness you like was really nice haha.
What comes with the 17,000-won Imgane Han-sang set, and picking a spice level
Looking at the Imgane Nakji Bossam menu, there was a wide range of meal dishes and anju (drinking snacks). What I ordered was the Imgane Han-sang (for one), ₩17,000. It's a set with grilled octopus stir-fry and herbal boiled pork together, so I loved being able to try both in one meal. The octopus stir-fry also lets you choose spice level — mild, spicy, etc. — and I went with mild to play it safe!
The side dish spread and the porridge starter
While waiting for the food, the basic side dishes were laid out. Bean sprout muchim, japchae, various namul (seasoned vegetable) side dishes, and — since it was summer — a cold soup came along too.
A porridge came out as a sort of appetizer, and it arrived with dried seaweed flakes and sesame oil on the side to mix in! It was perfect for waking up the appetite 👍✨
Here's the Imgane Han-sang I ordered. This is the two-person-sized version, and the portion looked just right!
From the spicy grilled octopus stir-fry to the tender herbal boiled pork, cabbage and side dishes, it all came out generously on one plate. Just looking at it felt satisfying — a hearty Korean spread ❤️🤤
A large bowl of rice came out too, so you can mix in the namul from the basic spread to your taste. I love seaweed flakes, so being able to sprinkle on as much as I wanted was a nice touch haha.
How do the medium-spice grilled octopus and herbal boiled pork taste?
The grilled octopus stir-fry at Imgane Nakji Bossam had really soft, delicious octopus. I mixed it up well and dug into a big bite. Octopus can sometimes turn out chewy, but the octopus I had that day was nice and tender — very satisfying. I chose mild spice level, and it was pleasantly spicy without being overwhelming — really tasty!
The boiled pork had a really nice tender, soft texture. Each bite chewed easily and tasted great. Pairing the spicy grilled octopus stir-fry with the mild, tender herbal boiled pork made for a really good combo haha.
Verdict: Imgane Nakji Bossam for work lunches and family meals out
This visit to Imgane Nakji Bossam left me satisfied with both the food and the atmosphere. The grilled octopus stir-fry had soft octopus and let you choose your spice level, which I liked, and the herbal boiled pork's tender texture was great. Best of all, the Imgane Han-sang let me enjoy octopus stir-fry and boiled pork in one go. It's a spacious, clean restaurant, so it seems great to bring coworkers for an Indong lunch, and it would also suit anyone looking for a family dinner spot. If you want to enjoy delicious octopus stir-fry and boiled pork together in Gumi Indong, give Imgane Nakji Bossam a visit!
