Where is Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk Juchon Branch, and where do you park?
Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk Juchon Branch is a gamjatang (pork bone stew) and ppyeo-haejangguk (bone hangover soup) restaurant at 295 Seobu-ro 1637beon-gil, Juchon-myeon, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. It's open 16:00–21:00 with no break time and no regular holiday, and there's a parking lot right in front.
When it comes to gamjatang, Ppyeodae Itneun is the name. The Juchon branch is easy to get to and parking is convenient, so it was an easy trip to make. Just seeing the sign made it clear this was a serious bone-soup specialist, and my expectations went up right away.
Seating at the Juchon branch: easy for families and groups
Inside, Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk Juchon Branch was spacious and clean. The tables were spread out enough that I didn't have to worry about the neighboring table while eating.
There were plenty of families and group customers too, so the seating was arranged in a variety of configurations.
The self-serve corner, aprons included
The self-serve corner caught my eye right away and was well stocked. Small plates and extra side dishes were all organized in one spot, which made things easy.
Gamjatang can get your hands messy with sauce as you eat, but aprons were provided, so I could dig in without worry.
What comes with the basic table setting
After ordering, the basic side dishes were set out first. Nothing too strong or spicy, just clean flavors — a nice, easy start before the main dish arrived.
Each side dish showed some care put into it, which built trust right away.
What's in the gamjatang daegahansang for two (40,000 won)
We ordered the gamjatang daegahansang for two, priced at ₩40,000. It's the set with gamjatang, garlic pork slices, and seasoned crab all served together, and it stood out most on the menu.
Looking at the menu, there was a wide range of gamjatang-centered combos. Among them we chose the daegahansang for two, with gamjatang, garlic pork slices, and seasoned crab all on one table.
The thinly sliced boiled pork was tender and nice to bite into, and dipping it lightly in salted shrimp sauce doubled the clean, savory taste.
The seasoned crab was an essential part of the set too. The sweet and spicy sauce soaked all the way into the crab meat, perfect for piling on top of rice.
White rice with seasoned crab really does earn the reputation of a 'rice thief.' It wasn't too salty, more savory-forward, and I kept reaching for more.
Perilla powder piled on, glass noodles just as generous
Finally, the main event — gamjatang — arrived, filling the table. The rich smell of the well-simmered bones stirred up appetite before I even sat down fully.
Loaded with potatoes, ugeoji (dried napa cabbage leaves), and backbone, it looked hearty just from the sight of it.
As it bubbled away, a savory aroma drifted up.
This gamjatang also came with plenty of glass noodles, which I love.
The gamjatang at Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk comes with a generous amount of perilla powder, and the rich perilla scent hit my nose right away.
Simmered down nicely.
The glass noodles cooked up deliciously, and there was so much of it that there was no need to order extra.
I pulled off a piece of meat from the bone. It was boiled tender enough that the meat slid right off, and the more I chewed, the deeper the savory flavor got. I tried a spoonful of the broth too — spicy but with a clean finish.
Sotbap vs gondre sotbap: comparing the two pot rices
We ordered sotbap (₩2,000) and gondre sotbap (₩4,000) separately. The sotbap at Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk Juchon Branch came out piping hot in a stone pot.
The rice was fluffy and nutty on its own, and it paired really well with the gamjatang broth.
Scraping up the crispy scorched rice at the bottom, like nurungji, meant I could enjoy every last bit.
Gondre sotbap at Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk
We also ordered gondre sotbap, which made it fun to compare the two flavors side by side.
The gondre (Korean thistle) had a subtle aroma that gave it a savory edge that stood out.
Mixing in a bit of the seasoning sauce brought out even more of that savory depth.
Alternating between sotbap and gondre sotbap kept things interesting and satisfying all the way through.
