Arriving at 11:30am, the writer watched the place fill up completely within 10 minutes and shared a two-person kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) set with added tofu and ramyeon noodles, a palm-topping egg roll, a brimming basin of stew, and self-serve banchan mixed with seasoned laver flakes. For two people, the set alone was more than enough — a real value lunch. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:00–24:00 (break 15:00–16:00, last order 23:00) - **Parking**: About 4 spots in front of the restaurant - **Order**: Kimchi jjigae set (2 people) ₩26,000, tofu add-on ₩2,500, ramyeon noodle add-on ₩1,000 - **Amenities**: Takeout, delivery, group seating, high chairs, local currency and high oil-price relief vouchers accepted - **Menu**: Kimchi jjigae, pork belly kimchi jjim, duruchigi (stir-fried pork), jeyuk bokkeum, soy-marinated bulgogi, seasonal naengmyeon *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* What's going on with this morning's temperature? It was so cool it caught me off guard. Fall is really coming now, haha!! This weekend's food post is a hearty Korean meal review. I'd been craving spicy kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) like crazy for a few days now. With the temperature dropping too, it was the perfect time for something hot. Let me introduce Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae, located near Dongtan Central Park. ## Hours and parking info Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal 🕚Hours 11:00–24:00 Break time 15:00–16:00 Last order 23:00 🚘Parking available Takeout, delivery, group use, high chairs available Accepts local currency and high oil-price relief vouchers ![Parking space in front of Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-01-18wcv-900.webp) Parking fits about 4 cars in front of the restaurant. I'd recommend an opening run on weekends since it fills up fast — lunch peak was packed with customers. ![Exterior of the kimchi jjigae restaurant near Dongtan Central Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-02-29pnt-900.webp) ![Entrance sign of Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-03-11249-900.webp) Drawn in by the exterior's confident, well-loved look, we headed inside. A quick look at Yangpuni's promises: ✔️Domestic Korean kimchi ✔️All menu items use Grade 1 domestic Korean pork ✔️Delivered and used the same day ✔️Fresh vegetables ✔️Gyeongsang-do style duruchigi ![Interior of the restaurant with customers seated right after opening](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-04-1khe2-900.webp) ## Went in at 11:30, fully booked in 10 minutes We got in around 11:30 and there were already other customers. ![Dining hall tables fully booked during lunch peak](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-05-1u1o5-900.webp) Ten minutes later, this was the scene. Completely full in no time. Confirmed local favorite 👏👏 ![Long tables arranged for group seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-06-1233p-900.webp) One side had a long row of tables, which looked great for groups or gatherings who wanted some privacy. ![Table set with individually wrapped spoon-and-chopstick sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-07-rsncv-900.webp) The individually wrapped spoon-and-chopstick sets looked hygienic too, which I really appreciated for cleanliness. Nice touch 👍 ![Menu board at Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-08-1wnqg-877.webp) ![Menu listing showing the kimchi jjigae set composition](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-09-88a6f-900.webp) ![Menu listing for pork belly kimchi jjim and duruchigi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-10-1bb7p-900.webp) ![Menu listing for jeyuk bokkeum and soy-marinated bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-11-1exjv-900.webp) ![Menu listing including seasonal naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-12-10sbk-900.webp) ## Menu and what we ordered This place's signature dish is kimchi jjigae. You can order it as a single item, but the value set with an egg roll seemed to be the popular choice. Besides kimchi jjigae, the menu also has pork belly kimchi jjim, duruchigi, jeyuk bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork), soy-marinated bulgogi, and a seasonal naengmyeon (cold noodles). We'd been craving kimchi jjigae before we even left the house, so we went with the value set. - Kimchi jjigae set (2 people) 26.0 - Tofu add-on 2.5 - Ramyeon noodle add-on 1.0 ![Basic banchan set out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-13-mw4qh-676.webp) ## More banchan at the self-serve zone These are just the basic side dishes — and that wasn't even all of it. There's a self-serve zone with even more banchan, so you can grab whatever suits your taste. ![Thick egg roll included in the value set](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-14-pcwoh-900.webp) ## A palm-topping egg roll — see the hand comparison shot First up was the egg roll included in the value set, and I was shocked by the size. It was seriously huge. Photos don't do it justice, so here's a hand comparison shot. I honestly have no idea how many eggs went into this, haha. ![Hand comparison shot showing the enormous egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-15-1qy18-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the thickly rolled egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-16-lowcc-900.webp) The egg roll wasn't just thick — it was fluffy and perfectly cooked all the way through, like it was made by an egg roll master, haha. Honestly, it was really good. ![A fluffy, well-cooked piece of egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-17-1vgau-900.webp) ## A two-person kimchi jjigae that fills the whole basin Whoa — the kimchi jjigae came out in what looked like a giant basin. It was labeled as two servings but felt more like three, and this place seems to go big on portions across the board. I don't think I've ever seen such great value. ![Two-person kimchi jjigae served in a large basin](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-18-1pzdt-1200.webp) If you're coming as a pair, definitely get this two-person value set. Great value for money, and the portion is honestly ridiculous. ![Large chunks of domestic pork in the kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-19-yacmg-900.webp) The pork looked amazing too — this domestic pork satisfies both in quantity and quality. It comes out in big chunks that you can cut up as you eat, and there were about 4 large pieces. The pork isn't skimped on at all. With the tofu add-on, the kimchi jjigae came out looking extra hearty. There was a generous amount of tofu too — soft and nutty, I kept reaching for more. The kimchi jjigae wasn't overly salty, which actually made it easy to enjoy without being too intense for anyone. The pork had no gamey smell at all and was tender, so it seemed like something kids would enjoy too. ![Kimchi jjigae boiling with the tofu add-on](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-20-1ettr-900.webp) ![Cut pork and rice served from the kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-21-146cy-900.webp) ### The finale: laver-flake bibim rice and ramyeon noodles The seasoned laver flakes that come as a basic side dish turned out to be a surprisingly good combo mixed into rice with kimchi jjigae stirred in — a tasty little specialty in its own right. ![Rice mixed with kimchi jjigae and laver flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-22-1wygq-900.webp) Time for the grand finale. They boiled up the ramyeon noodle add-on until the broth thickened nicely. ![Ramyeon noodle add-on simmered in the kimchi jjigae broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-23-jocgx-900.webp) With such a deep stew base, the ramyeon noodles disappeared in no time. ![Nearly empty basin pot of kimchi jjigae after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar/dongtan-kimchi-stew-open-run-side-bar-24-wsy3z-900.webp) ## To sum up Located in the easily accessible Central Park area, Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae serves up kimchi jjigae made with domestic Korean kimchi and a massive egg roll in a great-value set, plus a range of other menu items like Gyeongsang-do style jeyuk bokkeum and samgyeopsal, making it perfect for a special lunch or dinner. With space for group parties, I'd recommend it for family outings, dates, or gatherings too. The staff were friendly as well, so this felt like a place I'd want to become a regular at.
