Visiting with a child around 4pm, the writer ordered a medium half-and-half bossam (반반보쌈) for ₩48,000, which came with complimentary kalguksu, plus self-bar side dishes and puffed rice snacks for dessert. Plenty of side dishes and a mild kalguksu made it an easy, kid-friendly meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 11 Baengnyeondae-ro 297beon-gil, Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do (Sangdong 829-5), South Korea - **Hours**: 11:00–22:00 - **Order**: Half-and-half bossam (golden napkin cabbage + kimchi + radish kimchi), medium, ₩48,000 - **Included**: Choice of kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) or jaengban guksu (tray noodles) with main menu order - **Note**: Rice bowls ordered separately - **Amenities**: Self-bar, baby chair, private room available - **Parking**: On the alley *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Table spread of gabrisal half-and-half bossam at Bak Man-bae Arirang Bossam Mokpo Hadang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-01-55k7f-900.webp) I was in Mokpo with my kid and did some searching around — this place is close to Peace Square, has been on TV, has waiting lines, and has menus that work well for kids! So we went to Bak Man-bae Arirang Bossam. ![Storefront of Bak Man-bae Arirang Bossam in Hadang, Mokpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-02-qoxx5-1200.webp) ## Location and basic info for Bak Man-bae Arirang Bossam Mokpo Hadang Branch - 11 Baengnyeondae-ro 297beon-gil, Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do (Sangdong 829-5), South Korea - Open 11:00–22:00 - Self-bar: yes, baby chair: yes, parking is on the alley..! We were traveling and our timing was off, so we ended up going for a late lunch/early dinner at 4pm. Luckily there was no wait, but plenty of people were eating!

Bak Man-bae Arirang Bossam uses gabrisal (pork shoulder blade meat) for their bossam, so it's soft, nutty, and mild — great for kids too! The basic side dishes were stir-fried fish cake, peppers, garlic, salad, napa cabbage kimchi, chive salad, shrimp, and ssamjang (dipping sauce). Make sure to hit the self-bar before eating! There's a variety of side dishes there that aren't part of the basic spread. ![Self-bar side dish counter at Bak Man-bae Arirang Bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-08-1d9k4-900.webp) ![Corn salad and other side dishes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-09-1m5xt-900.webp) ![Container of pickled garlic scapes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-10-10kyc-900.webp) ![Tteokbokki and extra side dishes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-11-1qdlt-900.webp) Beyond the basic side dishes, there's also corn salad, pickled garlic scapes, and tteokbokki! Try the pickled garlic scapes with the bossam — they're a perfect match haha. ![Plate of side dishes brought back from the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-12-1pflb-900.webp) ## When should you order the complimentary kalguksu? There are two ways to order the kalguksu — together with the bossam, or after finishing the bossam — but I ordered it at the same time since I wanted to give some to the kids too. The portion was bigger than I expected... Wait, did I get too greedy because it's supposedly a Mokpo must-eat spot? Haha. ## How does the gabrisal half-and-half bossam taste? Total mouth-watering moment haha. Just looking at it, the gabrisal bossam looks so moist and tender it seems like it'll melt. ![Close-up of moist gabrisal bossam meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-13-484bj-900.webp) ![Plate of half-and-half bossam topped with bossam kimchi and radish kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-14-uea0g-900.webp) The bossam kimchi and radish kimchi looked so vivid — that red color looked absolutely delicious! The golden napa cabbage next to it is steamed or boiled cabbage, and it's really sweet and crunchy. It went great wrapped around the bossam! Wrap the meat in the golden cabbage for something mild, or in the bright red kimchi for something spicy-sweet, and the crunchy radish kimchi had amazing texture too! ![Wrapping bossam meat in golden napa cabbage](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-15-1rcl7-900.webp) ![A single wrap of bossam meat topped with bossam kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-16-dhhom-900.webp) The pickled garlic scapes were sweet and salty. Paired with garlic and pepper, they had a sharp kick, and they went really well with the salty-savory salted shrimp too. There were so many side dishes to pair with, it was great — I could eat so many different combinations, so I just kept going and going haha. ![Bossam served with pickled garlic scapes and salted shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-17-brwsp-900.webp) ![Full table spread of bossam with various side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-18-1v18z-900.webp) ![Table with bossam and a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-19-1e9ev-900.webp) ### Clam kalguksu — can kids eat it too? Under a refreshing, deep, rich broth, chewy kalguksu noodles and a ton of clams at the bottom! Crab and chopped green onion on top. Just simmer it for about 5 minutes before eating. ![Complimentary kalguksu topped with crab and clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-20-1vdlb-900.webp) ![Clam kalguksu noodles being served after simmering](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-21-1ixnp-900.webp) Since it felt like a free side item, I honestly didn't expect much from the taste... but it was actually really good! No flour smell at all, and thanks to the clams the broth was genuinely refreshing haha. Perfect hangover cure for last night's drinking! I slurped it up happily and gave some to the kids too — it wasn't spicy so they ate it well. ## Don't skip the dessert corner With bossam, rice, and kalguksu, you'll feel like you're about to burst, but don't leave right after eating! Bak Man-bae Arirang Bossam is a Hadang spot that nails even the dessert corner. Let's take a look. ![Dessert corner at Bak Man-bae Arirang Bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-22-c1pbk-900.webp) ![Misugaru slushie machine and coffee station at the dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-23-eka6q-900.webp) ![Six kinds of puffed rice snacks at the dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit-24-14l85-900.webp) There's misugaru (roasted grain powder) slushie, mix coffee, americano, and six kinds of puffed rice snacks. The kids spotted them and loved it so much, they put two rice cake puffs each in a paper cup and took them along haha. We finished up with the misugaru! Maybe because it was hot out, there was even bottled water ready to go. Such a thoughtful owner! We ate so well and enjoyed it a lot ^^ ## Where it is - Bak Man-bae Arirang Bossam Mokpo Hadang Branch (박만배아리랑보쌈 목포하당점) - 11 Baengnyeondae-ro 297beon-gil, Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 목포시 백년대로297번길 11 - 34.804709, 126.4195452 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%95%EB%A7%8C%EB%B0%B0%EC%95%84%EB%A6%AC%EB%9E%91%EB%B3%B4%EC%8C%88%20%EB%AA%A9%ED%8F%AC%ED%95%98%EB%8B%B9%EC%A0%90/@34.804709,126.4195452,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-wooden-menu/mokpo-hadang-arirang-bossam-family-visit/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
