I was looking for a good Korean restaurant to celebrate my mom's birthday, and since she said she wanted octopus, I searched near my parents' place — and found this Gimpo gem, Osaejju!! ![Cover photo of Osaejju, an octopus restaurant in Pungmu-dong, Gimpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-01-1n060-1200.webp) There's a bus stop nearby so it's fine to walk over. I headed straight from work for a lunch appointment! My mom loves spicy food so I had high hopes, and since they have hot pot rice dishes that older folks tend to enjoy, I went in specifically eyeing the hot pot rice. ## Osaejju menu and prices Osaejju's spicy octopus and pork belly hot pot rice set is ₩13,000, and the octopus hot pot rice set is ₩12,500. Here's the menu!! ![Menu board showing Osaejju's hot pot rice sets and hot-plate dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-02-1h94v-900.webp) - Spicy octopus & pork belly hot pot rice set: ₩13,000 - Octopus hot pot rice set: ₩12,500 - Kaljebi (hand-torn noodle soup): ₩11,000 - Hot-plate octopus & pork belly / cheese / octopus: ₩15,000 - Extra toppings – pork belly, shrimp, squid: ₩9,900 They also have pajeon (green onion pancake) and cheese fondue sauce!!

Everything arrived beautifully arranged alongside the steamed egg. ![Bracken fern side dish served with the hot pot rice set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-05-1acq5-900.webp) ![Radish salad and bean sprouts for mixing into the rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-06-1cnz9-900.webp) ![Cold seaweed soup to cool the spicy heat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-07-1x397-900.webp) ![Steamed egg served alongside the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-08-1quov-900.webp) ![Lettuce and cabbage salad and other side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-09-15p34-900.webp) Having bracken fern, radish salad, bean sprouts and lettuce all together to mix in was a huge plus. At other places you sometimes just get bean sprouts, right? But here it felt like bibimbap with a variety of flavors, and I loved that. The rice was turmeric rice too, so it looked prettier and seemed healthier — I really felt like I was treating my parents well! ### Eating at Osaejju with elders who can't take spicy food Osaejju's cold seaweed soup and steamed egg did a great job toning down the spiciness. Taking a bite of the cold seaweed soup, especially when things got spicy, really helped settle things down. My dad mixed in the steamed egg too and said it was much less spicy that way — he loved it. If you're with elders who struggle with spicy food, mixing in the side dishes that come with the meal is a great idea. When it got too spicy for me, I mixed in some cabbage salad, and the mayonnaise neutralized the heat nicely. After finishing, drinking the nurungji (scorched rice) water made from the hot pot rice also helped cool things down. It really felt like eating a course meal — so good!! ![Spicy octopus and pork belly served over turmeric hot pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-10-y7vr3-900.webp) ![Octopus and pork belly bibimbap mixed with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-11-1vz75-900.webp) ![A spoonful of the mixed octopus and pork belly bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-12-1uj0o-900.webp) I mixed everything together neatly and took a big bite. The savory flavor was great, and delicious. The pork belly had a nice smoky char too, which made it even better. The portion was generous even for three people, and we ate until we were completely full. The owners were very kind, and it seemed like there were quite a few regulars. ![Seating inside Osaejju](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-13-2ihla-900.webp) ![Self-serve bar for soup and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-14-12hwj-900.webp) ![Corner of the restaurant with drinks and alcohol on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-15-1yc9l-900.webp) ## Inside Osaejju: the room and the self-serve bar Osaejju has a self-serve bar where you can help yourself to more soup, side dishes, vegetables, and sauce. The interior was clean and well-kept, which I really appreciated. They also have a wide range of alcohol and drinks, so it seemed like a great option for groups with both adults and kids to have plenty of choices!! ![Sign advertising the review event with a free drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-16-wmizb-900.webp) I noticed they had a review event that gives out a free drink, so keep that in mind and grab a drink on the house~~ Remembering little things like this is what makes you a smart shopper, haha. It was a late weekday lunch, and once we started eating, a lot of regulars and other customers came in too, ordering plenty of hot pot rice sets and hot-plate dishes~ The AC was blasting and the staff kept checking in, which I really liked. ![Dining room view of Osaejju during a late weekday lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-17-1b112-900.webp) ![Customers seated at tables in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-18-g9lkh-m-900.webp) ![Entrance to Osaejju on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-19-ofog0-900.webp) ![Exterior of the building on Pungmu 2-ro and the surrounding street](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju-20-1r3kc-900.webp) ## How to get to Osaejju and where to park You can park at a nearby public lot, or there's also a parking lot in the building across the street. They say you just need to let them know when you park there!! We parked at the public lot and were out within an hour, then crossed the crosswalk into the building you can see from there — it's on the 2nd floor. I'd recommend calling ahead to ask about parking before you go. ## Which gatherings does Osaejju suit best? If you're looking for a tidy, well-run restaurant in Pungmu-dong, I recommend Osaejju~~ It's great for company dinners and great for family gatherings too!! I especially recommend bringing your parents!! There are plenty of cafés in the surrounding shops, so after the spicy heat of Osaejju you can easily head to a nearby café to relax — very convenient!! ## Where it is - Osaejju (불쭈꾸미 오새쭈) - 11 Pungmu 2-ro, Unit 202, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 김포시 풍무2로 11 202호 - 37.607522, 126.7256317 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%88%EC%AD%88%EA%BE%B8%EB%AF%B8%20%EC%98%A4%EC%83%88%EC%AD%88/@37.607522,126.7256317,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-si-back-shelf/gimpo-pungmu-jjukkumi-solbap-osaejju/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
