A couple visited for lunch and shared the Tams half course lunch special (₩37,000 per person) in a private seated room, working through salad, jellyfish salad, cream soup, lobster broth noodles, and finally the main lobster with fried rice. Seated and table-style rooms can also be opened into one room for up to 38 people, making it a fit for family gatherings like sangyeonrye (formal meeting of families before marriage) or first-birthday parties, and the meal ended on a satisfying note with sujeonggwa (cinnamon-persimmon punch) for dessert. ## Good to know - **Menu**: Lunch special Tams half course, ₩37,000 per person - **Lunch special order cutoff**: Orders accepted until 2 PM - **Rooms**: Seated and table-style rooms, some with leg wells under the table; partitions open into a group room for up to 38 people - **Parking**: Private lot, up to 30 cars at once - **Hours**: Daily 11:30 AM–10 PM, last order 8:30 PM - **Address**: 10-1 Jiho-ro 124beon-gil, Dong-gu, Gwangju, South Korea (Jisan-dong 98-2) *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Tams Badaetgaja's signature lobster course photo in Gwangju](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-01-1s2qr-1200.webp) My husband and I were trying to figure out where to go for a leisurely lunch together, and we ended up at Tams Badaetgaja. I wanted something a bit different from our usual meals, so I looked up lobster course restaurants in Gwangju. The atmosphere was nice and we could eat comfortably in a private room, so it seemed like it'd work well not just for a date but as a spot for a sangyeonrye (formal meeting of families before marriage) or a first-birthday family gathering in Gwangju too. We had the lunch special Tams half course, and it was satisfying from start to finish, right down to dessert. ## How much parking is there? Tams Badaetgaja is in Jisan-dong, Dong-gu, Gwangju. When you're driving, parking is always a bit of a worry. This place has its own private lot with room for up to 30 cars at once. So even for a first-birthday family gathering in Gwangju where several families show up by car, the parking stress is much lower. ![Tams Badaetgaja's private parking lot and exterior view](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-02-1s227-966.webp) When you're hunting for a sangyeonrye restaurant in Gwangju, parking is always one of the first things you check, so this was a nice plus. ## From seated rooms to a 38-person group room: the interior What I liked most about Tams Badaetgaja was the private room dining. Even though it was just my husband and me, eating in a room while chatting comfortably made a real difference to the mood of the meal. ![Interior of a private room at Tams Badaetgaja](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-03-9hmde-966.webp) ![Table setting in the room for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-04-3w8it-966.webp) Both the hall and the rooms have full-length windows, so it doesn't feel closed in, and the overall look is quite clean. ![Hall and room atmosphere with full-length windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-05-16ec1-966.webp) Tams Badaetgaja also had a range of room styles. There are seated rooms and table-style rooms, and some rooms let you drop your legs under the table, which makes dining more comfortable. A seated room would probably be easier if you have a baby with you, and being able to pick a room to match your family's needs made it seem like a good spot for a first-birthday family gathering in Gwangju too. By adjusting the partitions between rooms, up to 38 people can be seated together, which fits well for a first-birthday family gathering in Gwangju. That's also a good reason for anyone looking for a quiet sangyeonrye restaurant in Gwangju. ![Spacious room suited for family gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-06-17nop-966.webp) For a meal with parents, or an anniversary where the atmosphere matters, a room like this would definitely be comfortable. ## What's in the lunch special Tams half course, and the price ![Tams Badaetgaja's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-07-1nm1e-966.webp) We picked the Tams half course, which is available as the lunch special. It's a nice way to enjoy a lobster course in Gwangju for lunch without it feeling too heavy. ![Price information for the lunch special Tams half course](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-08-1mqum-966.webp) The lunch special can be ordered until 2 PM, and the Tams half course is ₩37,000 per person. ![First course setting of the half course](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-09-12z3p-966.webp) ![Basic table setting before the course starts](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-10-1nn00-966.webp) ![A course dish plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-11-99vau-966.webp) The course starts light with a salad, ![Salad as the first course](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-12-b02lf-966.webp) ![Jellyfish salad and cream soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-13-127qd-966.webp) then jellyfish salad, warm cream soup, and lobster broth thin noodles came out one after another. And then, the main event — lobster! Tams Badaetgaja notes that it uses grade-A live lobster. ![The main dish, live lobster](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-14-oizko-966.webp) If you're the type who cares about freshness when looking for a lobster course restaurant in Gwangju, this is worth noting. Since the courses come out one at a time, it's also great for chatting slowly over the meal, and I could see why people pick this as a sangyeonrye restaurant in Gwangju after visiting myself. ## How was the lobster and fried rice? ![Close-up of plump lobster meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-15-148f0-966.webp) The lobster was, of course, what I was most looking forward to. The texture was plump and chewy, and there was a subtle, pleasant hint of butter aroma. It was fairly easy to pick the meat off, so my husband and I dug in enthusiastically, saying how good it was. ![Warm broth served mid-course](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-16-1gc1e-966.webp) Having some warm broth partway through felt like it reset our palates. ![Fried rice topped with lobster meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-17-1lywb-966.webp) Topping the fried rice with lobster meat added a savory richness that made it really delicious. ![A spoonful of the fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-18-14wgs-966.webp) ![Lobster meat dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-19-v48q8-966.webp) It's tasty dipped in the sauce too! ![A dish from the later part of the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-20-1umw7-966.webp) Fitting for a lobster course in Gwangju, the meal wasn't just the main dish alone — there were plenty of dishes before and after to enjoy, which I liked. ![The varied course spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-21-1nhzj-966.webp) At a first-birthday family gathering in Gwangju, everyone from grandparents to kids needs to be fed, so having a varied course lineup like this would work well. When choosing a sangyeonrye restaurant in Gwangju, both the food and the atmosphere matter, so enjoying a course in a private room was a real plus. ## A lunch that ended on a good note with dessert After the meal, we picked out dessert too. ![Coffee chosen for dessert after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-22-17a1u-966.webp) My husband chose coffee, and I picked the chilled sujeonggwa (cinnamon-persimmon punch). ![Chilled sujeonggwa served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-23-183tx-966.webp) Finishing off good food with sujeonggwa left my mouth feeling clean and my mood good. It was just the two of us this time, but I thought it'd be nice to bring my parents along next time. For anyone planning a first-birthday family gathering in Gwangju or an anniversary get-together, or looking for a sangyeonrye restaurant in Gwangju, I'd say it's worth checking out. ![The room table after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch-24-lae1k-966.webp) A place where you can eat comfortably in a private room while properly enjoying a lobster course in Gwangju! My husband and I ate well and left in a great mood — a truly satisfying meal. ## Store info - Address: 10-1 Jiho-ro 124beon-gil, Dong-gu, Gwangju, South Korea (Jisan-dong 98-2) - Hours: Daily 11:30 AM – 10 PM, last order 8:30 PM ## Where it is - Tams Badaetgaja (탐스바닷가재) - 10-1 Jiho-ro 124beon-gil, Dong-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 동구 지호로124번길 10-1 탐스바닷가재 - 35.1485743, 126.9427906 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%83%90%EC%8A%A4%EB%B0%94%EB%8B%B7%EA%B0%80%EC%9E%AC/@35.1485743,126.9427906,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-rice-tray/gwangju-jisan-lobster-course-private-room-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
