# Group room and free parking for a Bucheon meal: Gim Myeongju - By Junseo P. (https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-menu-window/) - Written Sep 7, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Bucheon, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This post was written after a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-menu-window/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gyeonggi-menu-window/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/index.md) ## In short Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang Sinjung-dong Branch is a Korean restaurant in Bucheon, Gyeonggi, five minutes on foot from Sinjungdong Station. The writer booked a private room on the third floor, which takes group reservations only, and ordered the tteuranchae bapsang set for two plus an octopus stir-fry, receiving a 12-side-dish spread with self-serve refills on rice and banchan. Between the ground-floor parking with an attendant and the refillable side dishes, this is a strong pick for a Bucheon family gathering. ## Good to know - **Tteuranchae Bapsang set**: ₩13,000 per person - **Ordering rule**: One set per person plus at least one à la carte dish required - **This order**: Tteuranchae Bapsang for 2 + octopus stir-fry (jjukkumi bokkeum) - **Set meals**: Dried corvina, soy crab, charcoal pork, octopus stir-fry, cockle salad, grilled mackerel - **Pre-order specials**: Spicy duck stir-fry, roasted duck, pork belly, available by advance reservation - **Seating**: 2nd floor hall with private rooms; 3rd floor for group reservations only - **Parking**: Dedicated ground-floor lot with a parking attendant - **Access**: Under 5 minutes on foot from Line 7 Sinjungdong Station - **Self-bar**: Free refills on side dishes and rice except main dishes; wrap greens, kkakdugi, salad and lotus root fritters at the salad bar only - **Waiting**: Waitlist available through Catch Table *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* I found a place near Sinjungdong Station in Bucheon that comes to mind whenever I want a proper, comforting Korean meal, neatly laid out — Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang Sinjung-dong Branch, famous for its overflowing table settings. Cutting to the verdict: every single side dish and every main dish was satisfying, the space was spacious and clean, the staff were kind, and parking was easy — a genuinely satisfying meal all around. I'd strongly recommend this one to anyone looking for a Bucheon Korean restaurant to hold a group gathering. ## How's the parking and location? Here's the place. First off, the building itself is huge — I was surprised. There are a lot of restaurants in this area, but this was one of the biggest I've seen. What I liked most was the parking. Not only does it have its own dedicated lot, it's right there on the ground floor — no need to struggle down to a basement level — so there's plenty of space and no parking stress. Parking really matters when you're picking a meeting spot, haha. And there's even someone managing the parking, which made it even more convenient — a huge plus. It's also under 5 minutes on foot from Sinjungdong Station on Line 7, so it's great to reach by public transit too. The restaurant is on the second floor, up the stairs out front. Even the stairwell was decorated beautifully with earthenware jars and plants, so the mood was already good just walking in — it felt like arriving somewhere upscale. ![Stairway to the 2nd floor of Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang Sinjung-dong Branch, decorated with earthenware jars](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-01-qmhep-966.webp) ![Entrance passage of the Korean restaurant decorated with plants and jars](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-02-11g9p-966.webp) Here they use rice they mill themselves every day into hwangmi (yellow rice), and the benefits of hwangmi rice were written up right at the entrance. They're also pest-managed, and there's even a Catch Table waitlist system for convenience. I kept thinking — the owner here really knows how to run a restaurant. ### Interior seating and private rooms It looked huge from outside, and it was just as spacious inside. The tables were massive, haha, and with wide spacing between them plus proper partitioning, it was really comfortable to eat here. That's probably why I saw a lot of families and groups dining. ^^ There are also separate private rooms, so if you need a more private space, booking one of those would be a good move. ## Menu prices and how to order ![Menu board for the tteuranchae jeongsik set meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-03-1axa7-966.webp) ![Menu sign showing the tteuranchae bapsang price and ordering rules](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-04-14nsi-966.webp) ![Sign listing à la carte dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-05-1ikwl-966.webp) Now let me show you the menu. With advance reservation, you can order special dishes not on the regular menu — spicy duck stir-fry, roasted duck, pork belly, and so on. The third floor only takes group reservations, so this also looked like a great large-scale Bucheon meeting spot. The regular set meals (tteuranchae jeongsik) come with dried corvina, soy crab, charcoal-grilled pork, octopus stir-fry, cockle salad, or grilled mackerel. There's also the tteuranchae bapsang (₩13,000 per person), which comes with side dishes, cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew), and pot rice only. Just a heads-up — you can't order the tteuranchae bapsang alone. You need one per person plus at least one à la carte dish. We ordered the bapsang for two and added an octopus stir-fry as our extra dish. ![Neatly wrapped spoons and chopsticks on a spacious table](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-06-jxjkh-966.webp) This might sound small, but even the spoons and chopsticks were neatly wrapped, which made it feel even more like being taken care of. The manager and staff were also very kind, which put me in a good mood :) ## How the 12-side-dish spread comes together ![Tteuranchae bapsang table spread with 12 side dishes, cheonggukjang and pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-07-4kgwd-1200.webp) A little while later the table was set, and as you can see, it came out looking amazing, haha. I'd already thought the table itself was huge, but I was still a bit taken aback by how full that big spread was :) The pressure-cooked pot rice made from same-day-milled hwangmi rice, plus the deep, savory scent of the cheonggukjang alone, felt like they could carry a whole meal — and on top of that came the spicy-seasoned octopus and 12 side dishes. It really came out generously. ![Pressure-cooked pot rice made with hwangmi rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-08-119oz-966.webp) I really love pot rice like this, haha. The rice tastes so much better, and you can even make sungnyung (scorched rice tea) out of it afterward. ![A plate of basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-09-jv9ln-966.webp) ![Seasoned vegetable side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-10-rsx6q-966.webp) ![Close-up of a tteuranchae bapsang side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-11-1n0ko-966.webp) ![Kimchi served with the table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-12-1e39u-966.webp) ![A plate of japchae (glass noodle stir-fry)](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-13-14mck-966.webp) ![One of the 12 side dishes, a spinach salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-14-9bprz-966.webp) ![Close-up photo of a side dish plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-15-1ktvx-966.webp) ![Home-style basic side dish arrangement](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-16-cf62u-966.webp) ![Side dish plates on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-17-1owik-966.webp) ![A plate of tteuranchae bapsang side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-18-158wy-966.webp) Every single side dish was delicious too. The kimchi, japchae (glass noodle stir-fry), spinach, and kimchi were especially good, but honestly every other side dish was great as well, haha. It had that healthy, warm taste like something made at home, which felt like eating a home-cooked meal, and it was really nice :) ### Wait, the side dishes and rice are refillable? And here's the other amazing part... at the salad bar, every side dish except the main dish is refillable...!!! Even the rice is refillable, haha. Isn't that seriously incredible? ![Self-serve salad bar for refilling side dishes and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-19-dq71v-966.webp) ![Salad bar corner with wrap greens and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-20-8e1kh-966.webp) It was almost hard to believe it was this well set up, and I found myself wondering how I never knew about this place before. I've decided that from now on, whenever I need somewhere for a family gathering or group meeting in Sinjung-dong, this is where I'm coming. A staff member told us that wrap greens, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), salad, and lotus root fritters are only available at the salad bar, so we went and grabbed some extra. ![Wrap greens and lotus root fritters brought from the salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-21-srzjp-966.webp) ![Cheonggukjang stone pot packed with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-22-g4a22-966.webp) The cheonggukjang was also packed with ingredients and rich in flavor, so I enjoyed it a lot — I think I understand now why it's known as a Sinjung-dong Korean restaurant favorite. ![Spicy-seasoned octopus stir-fry as an à la carte dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-23-7hqai-966.webp) ![Eating octopus stir-fry together with pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-group-dining-24-1lv67-966.webp) I ate the octopus stir-fry with the rice too, and it was delicious. At a place like this, I think a rice refill isn't optional — it's essential — and having rice right there at the self-bar was such a plus. Having found such a great Bucheon meeting spot for Korean food, with Chuseok holiday coming up soon, I'm thinking of bringing my parents next time for a family gathering. Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang Sinjung-dong Branch really gets five stars!!
