Seated at a window table with her husband, the writer ordered the master's soy marinated crab set (25,000 won) and the master's barley gulbi set (27,000 won), which came with a nine-dish banchan spread, green tea rice and sungnyung, plus unlimited banchan and barley bibimbap from the self-bar. With the Gyeongan Stream view and a large car park, Bomseol is an easy choice for a family gathering. ## Good to know - **Location**: 51 Hyeonsan-ro 385beon-gil, Chowol-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, near Gyeongan Stream - **Bomseol Han-sang set**: 15,000 won - **[Set] Master's soy marinated crab**: 25,000 won - **[Set] Master's barley gulbi**: 27,000 won - **[Set] Manjo seasoned cockles**: 23,000 won - **[Set] Bulbeombeok (stir-fried spicy pork)**: 20,000 won - **[Set] Grilled mackerel**: 19,000 won - **Extra kids' pot rice**: 3,000 won - **Ordering rule**: Set meals can be ordered for one person - **Self-bar**: Banchan refills and unlimited barley bibimbap - **Parking**: Large car park in front of and behind the restaurant *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Main photo of Bomseol hanjeongsik restaurant in Chowol, Gwangju](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-01-wocsz-1200.webp) Today's post is a review of Bomseol, a Korean restaurant known for hanjeongsik in Chowol, Gwangju, Gyeonggi. ## Bomseol's exterior and parking: plenty of room out front ![Exterior of Bomseol's wooden hanok-style building](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-02-gdft0-900.webp) Among the hanjeongsik restaurants in Chowol, Gwangju, I'd been curious about this one for a while since it's run directly by a master of Korean cuisine — and I finally made it there with my husband, haha. ![Bomseol's building and parking lot in a quiet spot near Gyeongan Stream](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-03-1fykg-900.webp) Bomseol sits in a quiet spot right next to Gyeongan Stream. With almost no other shops nearby, the first thing I noticed was how much calmer and quieter it felt compared to downtown. There's a wide parking area in both front and back, so I could visit without worrying about parking at all. It has a hanok (traditional Korean house) style feel, like a renovated wooden house. ## Inside Bomseol: warm hanok interior and Gyeongan Stream views Thanks to the exposed rafters and hanji (traditional paper) lighting, the space was full of a cozy, warm atmosphere. Sit by the window and you get the Gyeongan Stream view right there — looking at it, my husband and I even said, 'let's keep coming here as regulars even when we're old,' haha. ## A waiting area that feels like a café ![Café-like waiting area at Bomseol's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-04-m06lm-900.webp) ![Coffee and tea prepared in the waiting area](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-05-12rx3-900.webp) ![Puffed rice snack corner in the waiting area](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-06-4nu9k-900.webp) ![Seating and decor in Bomseol's waiting area](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-07-1odsq-900.webp) ![Bomseol's interior atmosphere with hanji lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-08-gyig9-900.webp) Near the entrance there's a waiting area with coffee, tea, and even puffed rice snacks — it felt almost like a small café. ## Bomseol menu and prices ![Bomseol's set menu board with prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-09-lxucv-900.webp) - Bomseol Han-sang ₩15,000 - [Set] Master's Soy Marinated Crab ₩25,000 - [Set] Master's Barley Gulbi ₩27,000 - [Set] Manjo Cockle Salad ₩23,000 - [Set] Bulbeombeok (stir-fried pork) ₩20,000 - [Set] Grilled Mackerel ₩19,000 - (Set menu items can be ordered per person) - Kids' hot pot rice add-on ₩3,000 ### Self-bar with unlimited banchan and barley bibimbap Any banchan you run low on can be freely refilled at the self-bar, and the barley bibimbap is unlimited too — a setup that would satisfy even a big eater. ## What comes in Bomseol's nine-dish banchan spread ![Bomseol's 9-dish banchan spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-10-12c1d-900.webp) ![Bowls of namul and kimchi banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-11-1d22s-900.webp) Along with the main dish, a full spread of 9 banchan (side dishes) came out. ![Close-up of mildly seasoned namul side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-12-10klr-900.webp) Various namul (seasoned vegetables), kimchi, and other seasoned side dishes were all neatly plated, exactly the style I usually like — I felt like I could finish a whole bowl of rice on the banchan alone. The seasoning wasn't strong, more on the mild side, so I kept reaching for more, haha. ## What we ordered: master's soy marinated crab and master's barley gulbi ![Soy marinated crab set and barley gulbi set table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-13-bs7v5-900.webp) We ordered the soy marinated crab and the barley gulbi. ![A plate of Bomseol's master's soy marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-14-x9r36-900.webp) ![Soy marinated crab meat, good for mixing with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-15-1f30z-900.webp) The soy marinated crab wasn't too salty, just the right seasoning — really good mixed into rice. ![Bomseol's master's grilled barley gulbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-16-14z9n-900.webp) The barley gulbi (dried yellow corvina) was, to my taste, the best I've had here. ![Soft flaked barley gulbi flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-17-u56c9-900.webp) ![A spoonful of rice with barley gulbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-18-19e2b-900.webp) The saltiness wasn't strong and the flesh was soft, so I kept going back for more. ![Rice mixed into green tea with barley gulbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-19-78aji-900.webp) Mixing rice into green tea and eating it together was absolutely delicious. ![Sungnyung made by pouring hot water into the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-20-kb04n-900.webp) After finishing the rice, they pour hot water into the pot to make sungnyung (scorched rice tea) — that nutty finish was another treat on its own. The doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) was really delicious too, with such a deep flavor. ## Is Bomseol worth a visit? Final verdict ![Full view of Bomseol's hanjeongsik table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-21-huj20-900.webp) Bomseol, a Korean restaurant in Chowol, Gwangju, truly lives up to being run directly by a master of Korean cuisine — ![Neatly arranged Bomseol set meal table](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-22-11xvl-900.webp) the neat banchan and thoughtfully prepared table setting made it feel like a proper family meal out. Both the soy marinated crab and the barley gulbi were satisfying, and with the Gyeongan Stream view on top of it all, it was a genuinely enjoyable meal. ![Window seat at Bomseol with Gyeongan Stream view](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-23-1302q-900.webp) For anyone looking for a hanjeongsik restaurant in Gwangju, or a family gathering spot in Gwangju, I highly recommend this one, haha. ![Bomseol's interior and hanok-style decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi-24-x9k1c-900.webp) > Bomseol, a Korean restaurant in Chowol, Gwangju set up by a master of Korean cuisine — patented soy marinated crab and barley gulbi, unlimited hot pot rice and cheonggukjang refills, and a Gyeongan Stream view: a perfect family gathering spot in Gwangju. ## Where it is - Bomseol (봄설 한정식) - 51 Hyeonsan-ro 385beon-gil, Chowol-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 광주시 초월읍 현산로385번길 51 - 37.4179185, 127.2779896 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B4%84%EC%84%A4%20%ED%95%9C%EC%A0%95%EC%8B%9D/@37.4179185,127.2779896,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-mealtime-pages/bomseol-gyeongangcheon-view-gejang-gulbi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
