Three families visited on a weekend outing and ordered stekki-donburi (seared steak rice bowl), atsuatsu udon, geso-age (fried squid legs), ramune soda and zero-sugar cola, with the grilled scallion and chadolbagi beef broth udon and the egg-yolk-mixed steak bowl standing out. It also turned out to be an easy, comfortable spot for a family meal with a child in tow. ## Good to know - **Menu ordered**: Stekki-donburi, atsuatsu udon, geso-age fried squid, ramune soda, zero cola - **Parking**: Avenue France mall parking available - **Address**: Jiicheung1 CB19, 20, 85 Central Town-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - **Companions**: Three families, including children *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Signature photo of stekki-donburi and udon at Gyuen-dang Avenue France Gwanggyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-01-bs1iy-1200.webp) ![A cool autumn weekend outing scene in Gwanggyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-02-x5600-m-900.webp) It's really gotten cool even in the daytime now~ Autumn is my favorite season out of the four, but it passes by so fast that I have to make the most of my weekends and get out and enjoy it!! So this weekend we headed out to Gwanggyo for an outing after a long while. ![View of the shopping street at Avenue France Gwanggyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-03-1uaec-m-900.webp) ![Avenue France Gwanggyo, a great place for an outing with kids](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-04-vqla2-900.webp) ## Why we chose Gyuen-dang at Avenue France Gwanggyo really seems like a great place for a family outing with kids. Among all the options, we headed to Avenue France, where a lot of good restaurants are clustered together. You know how surprisingly hard it is to pick a sure-fire winner even within Avenue France? On top of that, since my kid and husband both love it, we decided today would be gyukatsu day!! ![Entrance of Gyuen-dang Avenue France Gwanggyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-05-3wpnk-900.webp) Last time I came to Avenue France on a weekday for lunch with friends, and Gyuen-dang Avenue France was apparently so well known among office workers as a Gwanggyo lunch spot that there wasn't a single seat free. Of course, being able to use the Avenue France parking lot made it really convenient for a family to drive over. The moment we stepped inside, I understood why it's so often mentioned as the go-to gyukatsu specialist among Ajou University students and daters, and as an atmospheric Japanese restaurant landmark near Gwanggyo Jungang Station. ![Interior of Gyuen-dang with wood-tone decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-06-1lzhd-900.webp) ![Seating with a view of Gyuen-dang's open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-07-1sa93-900.webp) ![A table at Gyuen-dang comfortable for a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-08-1n2fm-900.webp) The neat wood-tone interior and the lively energy of the open kitchen made it a really pleasant place for the three families to eat comfortably together. ![Menu board at Gyuen-dang Avenue France Gwanggyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-09-yr2uo-900.webp) ## What the three families ordered Since we wanted to try a bit of everything, we ordered the signature stekki-donburi (steak rice bowl), the hot-broth atsuatsu udon, the crispy geso-age (fried squid legs) side dish, and for drinks, the ramune soda that always delights the kids plus a clean zero-sugar cola. ![Table spread of ordered stekki-donburi and udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-10-rdwwv-900.webp) ### Atsuatsu udon – grilled scallion and chadolbagi broth The food came out faster than I expected. First up was the atsuatsu udon! My kid loves noodle dishes and always orders udon whenever we go to a gyukatsu or tonkatsu place, but you really have to try Gyuen-dang's atsuatsu udon. It tastes so different from regular udon that my kid's eyes went wide after just one spoonful haha. The broth, made from a base of nuttily grilled scallions and what seemed like seared chadolbagi (thinly sliced beef brisket) simmered into the stock, was rich and delicious. ![Atsuatsu udon topped with grilled scallion and chadolbagi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-11-1v3v3-900.webp) On top of the rich base broth, the plump noodles kept their chewy, springy bite all the way through without ever going soft. ![Udon noodles keeping their chewy texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-12-1gh9b-900.webp) ![A spoonful of the udon broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-13-mpjig-900.webp) ### Would the geso-age fried squid be tough? The geso-age (fried squid legs) we ordered as a side was also a fantastic treat. Fresh, chewy squid legs were fried in a thin, crispy batter, so the outside was crunchy while the inside kept that distinctive springy squid texture and savory, salty flavor. ![Thinly battered geso-age fried squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-14-1s88v-900.webp) I'd worried that, being fried squid, it might just be a thick coating of batter with a tough or chewy interior, but this was truly the kind of taste you can't stop reaching for, and the squid's springy texture was perfectly preserved! ![A crispy piece of geso-age](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-15-q7tz9-900.webp) ![Geso-age and udon set together on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-16-1wp14-900.webp) Udon usually comes topped with fried tofu pouches or shrimp tempura, but here it's grilled scallion and chadolbagi instead, which made the broth taste even richer! ![Stekki-donburi piled high with beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-17-dqb9s-900.webp) ## Stekki-donburi: rice portion and sauce balance The stekki-donburi caught the eye right away with its thick, generous slices of tender beef steak piled high across the bowl. The outside was seared golden-brown over high heat to seal in the juices, while the inside was cooked moist and just right, so every bite released a mouthful of savory beef aroma. ![Golden-seared beef on the stekki-donburi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-18-79jft-900.webp) ![Rice soaked in tare sauce in the stekki-donburi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-19-1ocen-900.webp) The sweet-salty house tare sauce soaked into the rice just enough, pairing well with the wasabi served alongside, and the rice portion matched the salty steak perfectly — no more, no less. I could see exactly why this place is known as a Gwanggyo lunch spot. I polished off the whole bowl and felt really full and satisfied. ![Wasabi and egg yolk served with the stekki-donburi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-20-1978v-900.webp) ![Stekki-donburi mixed with the egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-21-1v6c6-900.webp) ### How to eat it with the egg yolk mixed in If you lightly break the fresh egg yolk served alongside into the bowl, the stekki-donburi becomes even smoother and richer. With a piece of beef on rice and a touch of fresh wasabi to taste, we cleaned our bowls completely without a hint of greasiness. ![A bite of beef topped with fresh wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-22-vd6xc-900.webp) ## How was it as a family meal? It's a solid choice not just for a couple's date but also for a family meal with kids, so next time I'm planning to come back and try the signature gyukatsu. If you're heading out to Gwanggyo and want a satisfying Japanese meal with the family, or a can't-go-wrong lunch in a nice atmosphere, I recommend Gyuen-dang Avenue France Gwanggyo Branch. ![After finishing the meal at Gyuen-dang Avenue France Gwanggyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family-23-1mgdc-900.webp) ## Where it is - Gyuen-dang Avenue France Gwanggyo Branch (규엔당 아브뉴프랑 광교점) - Jiicheung1 CB19, 20, 85 Central Town-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 영통구 센트럴타운로 85 지1층 cb19, 20호 - 37.2909306, 127.0515553 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B7%9C%EC%97%94%EB%8B%B9%20%EC%95%84%EB%B8%8C%EB%89%B4%ED%94%84%EB%9E%91%20%EA%B4%91%EA%B5%90%EC%A0%90/@37.2909306,127.0515553,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-errand-meal/gwanggyo-avenue-france-steki-donburi-family/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
