On a weekday visit at 12:30 p.m. with my dad, who loves Korean food, we ordered the Bapkkot Special: a first course of herbal boiled pork, perilla buckwheat noodles and eggplant-zucchini perilla tteokbokki, then a second course of minari tteokgalbi, doenjang soup and gangdoenjang. Bapkkot Hansang suits anyone who would rather taste a little of many Korean dishes than fill up on one. ## Good to know - **Address**: Unit 303, 3rd floor, 91 Doum8-ro, Sejong - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Parking**: Free parking on building levels B1–B2; weekday roadside parking allowed in front of the building 11:30–14:00 - **What we ordered**: Bapkkot Special - **Menu**: Hanjeongsik set courses, rice bowls, sides - **Freebie**: Tteokgalbi with a Naver receipt review - **Amenities**: High chairs available *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* I recently went to lunch with my Korean-food-loving dad at Bapkkot Hansang, a well-known spot near Sejong Lake Park :) ## Where Bapkkot Hansang is in Sejong, and where to park Bapkkot Hansang is a Sejong restaurant located near the Prime Minister's Office and Sejong Lake Park, on the 3rd floor of its building. The address is 91 Doum8-ro, 3rd floor, Unit 303, Sejong, South Korea, and it's open daily 11:00–21:00 with a break time of 15:00–17:00. ![Exterior of the building on Doum8-ro, Sejong where Bapkkot Hansang is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-01-1kwtw-900.webp) ![Bapkkot Hansang building entrance and parking sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-02-1xsm0-900.webp) 🅿️Parking🅿️ is free in the building's B1 and B2 lots. On weekdays, the roadside in front of the building also allows parking during a grace period from 11:30 to 14:00. ## Inside Bapkkot Hansang: the room and the menu The interior of Bapkkot Hansang had a warm, cozy vibe centered around wood tones. The tables and chairs were all unified in a natural wood feel, and the soft lighting added to the cozy atmosphere. ![Wood-toned seating inside Bapkkot Hansang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-03-1jddx-900.webp) ![View of the Bapkkot Hansang dining hall with wooden tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-04-1124u-900.webp) Even visiting around 12:30pm on a weekday, there were quite a lot of office worker customers. It seemed like the lunch peak had just started to thin out a bit — clearly a popular weekday lunch spot! ![High chair set up at Bapkkot Hansang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-05-18o02-900.webp) High chairs were also available, which looked convenient for visiting with kids. ![Bapkkot Hansang menu board listing hanjeongsik and rice bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-06-1gwn9-m-900.webp) 📋The menu📋 was made up of a hanjeongsik (Korean set-table course), rice bowls, and sides. The hanjeongsik course looked great for hosting or gatherings, and the rice bowls looked good for a hearty single meal. Since I was there with my Korean-food-loving dad, I ✔️ordered the Bapkkot Special❤️🔥 ![Sign about the free tteokgalbi for Naver receipt reviews](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-07-wuhuk-900.webp) You can also get free tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties) with a Naver receipt review. ## What comes in the Bapkkot Special first course The Bapkkot Special was served in a first course and a second course. ![The full first course of the Bapkkot Special spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-08-1wu7b-900.webp) First, a variety of dishes made up the first course. ![Multiple dishes making up the first course of the Bapkkot Special](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-09-5oau0-900.webp) ### Herbal boiled pork (hanbang suyuk) The herbal boiled pork came with a tangy vegetable salad, which paired well with the softly boiled meat. The clean flavor of the pork combined with the tangy salad kept it from feeling greasy and made it easy to eat. ![Herbal boiled pork served with a tangy vegetable salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-10-ngi60-900.webp) ### Vegetable salad The vegetable salad reportedly used a pineapple and kiwi sauce, and the first thing I noticed was the fresh, tangy taste. It wasn't just sour — there was a subtle savory depth too, which made a great appetite-starter. ![Vegetable salad topped with pineapple kiwi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-11-jyk1b-900.webp) ### Perilla buckwheat noodles The perilla buckwheat noodles were nice to eat first, like an appetizer. I liked that the staff carefully asked in advance whether we had allergies to perilla or milk. The taste was nutty with a slight sweetness, making it easy and appealing to start with. ![Perilla buckwheat noodles served as an appetizer](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-12-1te69-900.webp) ### Tofu kimchi Tofu kimchi is a classic, clean combination of mild, soft tofu with tangy stir-fried kimchi. The plainness of the tofu paired well with the tangy-spicy kimchi, and it was nice to eat in between other dishes. ![Tofu kimchi with tofu and stir-fried kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-13-uooos-900.webp) ### Buchujeon (chive pancake) The buchujeon was crisped nicely on the outside, giving it great texture, and the accompanying garlic scape sauce paired really well with it. The savory pancake combined with the salty, slightly pungent sauce tasted better dipped than eaten plain. ![Buchujeon served with garlic scape sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-14-pd1lv-900.webp) ### Green laver and konjac japchae The seaweed konjac japchae was a dish I was trying for the first time, and the texture was wonderfully springy. The chewy quality of konjac combined with the subtle aroma of seaweed gave it a different feel from regular japchae. ![A plate of springy seaweed konjac japchae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-15-yvmo9-900.webp) ![Close-up of the seaweed konjac japchae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-16-77eqx-900.webp) ### Eggplant-zucchini perilla tteokbokki, the dish to try And what personally stuck with me was the eggplant-zucchini perilla tteokbokki (rice cake stir-fry). It's made with dried eggplant and dried zucchini, and even I — someone who doesn't usually eat eggplant or zucchini — enjoyed it. Being dried, the eggplant had less of that mushy texture regular eggplant has, making it easy to eat, and the seasoning itself was so good I kept going back for more. The tteok (rice cakes) clearly had that nutty perilla flavor, but the eggplant and zucchini weren't overpoweringly perilla-scented — instead they blended naturally with the seasoning into a nutty, savory sauce. If you don't usually like eggplant, this might actually be worth trying! ![Eggplant-zucchini perilla tteokbokki with dried eggplant and zucchini](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-17-1pv9l-1200.webp) ## What comes in the Bapkkot Special second course After the first course, a second course follows with tteokgalbi, doenjang soup, gangdoenjang, and side dishes. ![The second course spread with tteokgalbi, doenjang soup, and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-18-xeye1-900.webp) ![Rice and side dishes served alongside the second course](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-19-16wxg-900.webp) ### Minari tteokgalbi (grilled beef patty with water dropwort) The minari tteokgalbi differed from regular tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties) in that minari (water dropwort) was layered inside. The minari aroma wasn't too strong, coming through subtly instead, so it didn't overpower the clean, juicy flavor of the tteokgalbi. Enoki mushrooms were laid underneath the patty too, adding a chewy texture when eaten together. ![Minari tteokgalbi served over enoki mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-20-ikxkw-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the tteokgalbi showing the minari inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-21-l3uah-900.webp) ### Doenjang soup The doenjang (fermented soybean paste) soup was savory yet clean, without being too salty or sharp. It had tofu, scallions, and vegetables, making it nice and warm to eat with rice. ![Doenjang soup with tofu and scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-22-63hqq-900.webp) ![A bowl of gangdoenjang mixed with namul](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad-23-1kxu9-900.webp) ### Gangdoenjang rice mixed with namul And the highlight of Bapkkot Hansang's gangdoenjang (thick soybean paste stew) is that it's better mixed with the accompanying namul (seasoned wild greens) rather than just stirred into plain rice. Mixing chwinamul, perilla leaves, and bangpungnamul into the gangdoenjang and rice added the aroma and texture of the greens, making it delicious. My dad even added the cucumber salad into his mix, and he said the crunchy cucumber texture added on top made it even better with all the different textures mixed in haha. I'm going to try adding the cucumber salad too next time! ## Is Bapkkot Hansang worth a weekday lunch in Sejong? I visited Bapkkot Hansang wanting a well-arranged Korean set meal in Sejong. The structure of a first and second course brought out a variety of dishes in sequence, letting me enjoy a meal a bit more leisurely. Plenty of office workers were visiting even during weekday lunch, and it also seemed like a fine place to eat with family. Rather than heavy, intense flavors, I liked being able to taste a variety of namul and Korean dishes. If you're looking for a good restaurant near Sejong Lake Park or a Korean restaurant nearby, Bapkkot Hansang is worth checking out. It's also fairly close to Sejong Arboretum, so it's a handy reference point for a meal before or after visiting the arboretum or the lake park 🌿 Personally, I prefer tasting a little of many dishes over filling up on just one, so this was a satisfying visit :) ## Where it is - Bapkkot Hansang (밥꽃한상) - 91 Doum8-ro, 3rd floor, Unit 303, Sejong, South Korea - 세종특별자치시 도움8로 91 3층 303호 - 36.5041484, 127.271753 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%A5%EA%BD%83%ED%95%9C%EC%83%81/@36.5041484,127.271753,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-lunch-ticket/sejong-bapkkot-hansang-lunch-with-dad/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
