Steamed shellfish and bottomless draft beer in Siheung Baegot

I was craving seafood for the first time in a while and went looking for a good shellfish grill near Geobukseom, when I found this gem in Baegot, Siheung: Unlimited Refill Grilled Shellfish Siheung Baegot Branch (무한리필 조개구이 시흥배곧점)!

Location, hours and parking

The restaurant is at 7 Seouldaehak-ro 264beon-gil, Siheung, Gyeonggi, South Korea, on the 2nd floor of Avenue France Central Purple, Unit A. Hours are Monday 17:00-23:00, Tuesday to Friday 17:00-24:00, Saturday 13:00-24:00 and Sunday 13:00-23:00.

• Unlimited ramyeon on weekdays for parties of 7 or more!
• Parking available
• No time limit

It's on the 2nd floor of Avenue France, haha. There's lots to eat nearby and the vibe is great, so I felt I'd picked the right shellfish spot!

Out front, they display the day's fresh shellfish lineup!

Price in Siheung Baegot and the steamed shellfish upgrade

The buffet is ₩35,900 per adult, and switching to steamed shellfish costs an extra ₩4,000 per table, no matter how many people are in your group, haha. We chose the steamed shellfish!

Atmosphere on an early Saturday evening

Even though we went early on a Saturday evening, the restaurant was almost full! Word seems to have gotten around about this Baegot favorite, and seeing it already packed, I thought, yep, this is the shellfish place near Geobukseom, haha.

The space isn't huge, but the floor-to-ceiling windows make it feel open and airy~~

The self-serve bar: slush, ramyeon, rice and sauces

The self-serve bar even has slush, and you can get ramyeon (instant noodles) for ₩3,000 and instant rice for ₩2,000! But there was so much other food that we were too full for the ramyeon and rice, hahaha.

It's a shellfish place, but the meat is unlimited too, so kids and families can eat more variety to suit their tastes, right?! The beef brisket looked so good, I was really excited T_T

A Bulldak mayo sauce combo I highly recommend

They have butter and all kinds of sauces, truly everything, haha. I mixed mayonnaise with Bulldak (spicy fire chicken) sauce to make Bulldak mayo sauce, and I really recommend it, hahaha! There were so many sauces for dipping meat and shellfish, which I loved!

Meat and sides are unlimited too, great for families with kids

Besides shellfish, pork belly, pork neck, gabrisal and beef brisket, there are loads of sides and fried foods like hot dogs, hash browns, cheese sticks, nuggets and cheese rice cakes, all unlimited!! That's why there were really so many families with kids, haha.

The unlimited meat was perfect in quality too!! There are three kinds, pork neck, pork belly and gabrisal, and all were in such good condition that I thought, this is unlimited?! lol. Assorted mushrooms, ssamjang (dipping paste), garlic and more are all unlimited as well!!

And the mozzarella cheese that's a must with grilled shellfish!! It's unlimited too, so as a cheese lover I was so happy, haha. Mixing chojang (sweet-spicy chili vinegar sauce) into the savory cheese and dunking shellfish in it was so good~~

You scoop the shellfish yourself from the tank

You pick the shellfish yourself from the tank! They were so fresh that I was really looking forward to them, haha.

Shellfish can be salty, so once they're cooked, pour out the liquid from the shells before eating and they'll be less salty and tastier, haha.

I brought back all kinds: king scallops, hard clams, scallops, turban shells and whelks!! The small ones are better in ramyeon than grilled, haha. The beef brisket was grilled alongside~

How long does the steamed shellfish take?

For the steamed shellfish, you fill the steamer with shellfish, close the lid and wait only about 20 minutes! Ta-da, how does it look!? We finished setting the table and then put the shellfish in the steamer, haha.

Steaming also keeps the shellfish moister and the meat comes off the shell easily, so I recommend the steamed version for couples and families, haha. While we chatted and ate meat and sides, it was done in no time, which was great~~

The steamed shellfish are done when steam is rising and the shells open wide!! It's really simple and there's no grilling needed, so I highly recommend it, hahaha.

The beef brisket goes on the side grill, and unlimited cheese sizzles alongside!~~ Being able to cook meat and shellfish at the same time was so convenient and nice, haha.

Draft beer refills are ₩6,900 per person

For just ₩6,900 more per person you can add unlimited draft beer!! We had ours with cold draft beer, haha. And if you ask the staff, they'll swap it for a fresh chilled glass anytime~

How do steamed scallops, hard clams and king scallops taste?

The steamed shellfish is ready!! Doesn't it look delicious? Being steamed, it's full of moisture and extra tender, haha.

The scallops and hard clams had a chewy yet tender texture that was simply the best! They're good dipped in chojang, and dunking them in cheese makes them even richer~~

I think I ate dozens of scallops alone, haha. Being steamed, they separated from the shells easily and the very tender texture was so appealing!~

The king scallops were really big and so fresh that they tasted amazing T_T The chewy texture was almost like eating meat, so I ate king scallops without limit too, hahaha.

On one side they grilled pork belly, beef brisket and gabrisal, all of it!~ The meat is unlimited too, and the kids ate really well! It's a Baegot favorite where even the meat was great quality, haha.

Abalone butter grill in a foil tray

Put butter and corn cheese in a foil tray, add abalone, and the abalone butter grill is done!! I skipped the shrimp because I was too lazy to peel them, but you can make shrimp butter grill too, so do try it, haha.

Overall verdict

At this Siheung Baegot branch, I ate until I was stuffed on very fresh shellfish, good-quality meat and 20+ unlimited sides, haha. Switching to steamed shellfish is even more convenient and gives you tender shellfish, so I highly recommend steaming for families!!!
