The herbal octopus ugoltang (galbitang, short rib soup) arrived with a whole large octopus draped over the earthenware pot and short ribs hidden generously underneath, and writing a Naver review earned 2 ice creams. With ample parking and a garden view, Baekheukdam suits a relaxed lunch with parents. ## Good to know - **Location**: 93 Misadong-ro, 1st floor, Hanam, Gyeonggi — inside Misa Island - **Parking**: Plenty of parking space on site - **Main menu**: Black sesame samgyetang, perilla samgyetang, ongsimi (rice ball soup), herbal octopus ugoltang (galbitang), haesintang - **What we ordered**: Herbal octopus ugoltang (galbitang) - **Side dishes**: Fresh geotjeori kimchi, pickled onion, kkakdugi (radish kimchi) - **Review perk**: Write a Naver review for a canned drink or ice cream — 2 for one guest, 3 for two guests - **Dessert drinks**: Omija (schisandra berry) tea and maesil (green plum) tea near the entrance *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* When the temperature swings hard between day and night and energy starts dipping, a proper bowl of health food naturally comes to mind. I heard about a restaurant specializing in health food that builds its dishes around the nuttiness of white perilla and the deep flavor of black sesame, so I went to try a healthy meal! Here's my review of Baekheukdam, with its neat garden view and devotedly made broth. ![Health food spread at Baekheukdam in Hanam](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-01-gxiaj-966.webp) The food was great, but honestly the staff and the owner were all so kind, and the quality of the review dessert was so good, I left really satisfied!!!^^ ## Where is Baekheukdam in Hanam, and is there parking? Baekheukdam is located at 93 Misadong-ro, 1st floor, Hanam, Gyeonggi, South Korea, inside Misa Island. I come here often for family gatherings so it's pretty familiar territory hahahaha. ![Exterior and parking space at Baekheukdam inside Misa Island](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-02-1tkuy-966.webp) Parking space is well set up, so you can visit comfortably by car — even bringing your parents along — without worrying about parking! ## Garden view inside Baekheukdam Even before stepping inside, the lush green garden at Baekheukdam catches your eye~ The interior is also arranged in a neat, cozy mood, so it seems perfect for a parents' 60th or 70th birthday meal, a family outing, or an important gathering^^ ![Green garden in front of Baekheukdam's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-03-1jlpu-966.webp) ## What's on the Baekheukdam menu? Baekheukdam's main menus are black sesame samgyetang and perilla samgyetang. All the chicken goes through a 12-hour sous vide process, so it's supposedly tender and moist all the way to the core, with no dryness! ![Baekheukdam samgyetang menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-04-tau6t-966.webp) ![Baekheukdam ongsimi and ugoltang menu info](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-05-1sjv3-966.webp) ![Baekheukdam's health food menu lineup including haesintang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-06-17foa-966.webp) Besides samgyetang, there's ongsimi (dumpling soup), herbal octopus ugoltang (galbitang), and haesintang too — a varied lineup of health food that satisfies everyone regardless of age or gender^^ ## Herbal octopus ugoltang (galbitang): what arrives at the table To fill up body and mind that day, I chose Baekheukdam's herbal octopus ugoltang (galbitang)! ![Basic table setting at Baekheukdam](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-07-15oyq-966.webp) ![Table after ordering herbal octopus ugoltang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-08-ilk4m-966.webp) ![Soy sauce and seasoned salt dishes at Baekheukdam](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-09-1w177-966.webp) Before the galbitang arrived, the soy sauce and seasoned salt were already set up on the table!ㅎㅎㅎㅎ ![Geotjeori kimchi side dish at Baekheukdam](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-10-1lgni-966.webp) ![Pickled onion side dish at Baekheukdam](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-11-1dxt2-966.webp) ![Kkakdugi side dish at Baekheukdam](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-12-bds8c-966.webp) The side dishes were geotjeori kimchi (fresh tossed kimchi), pickled onion, and kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), each distinctive and a great match for the galbitang. The octopus galbitang came out in a piping-hot stone pot! A big, chewy octopus was draped right over the pot! The herbal medicinal ingredients combined with the deeply simmered beef bone broth made for a rich yet clean, deep soup flavor~ ![Large octopus draped over the stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-13-1s9av-966.webp) And the short ribs hiding beneath the octopus! Wow, so generous I wondered if I could finish it all >_<ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ The rice felt a bit on the softer side, but soaked in the broth it turned almost porridge-like, soaking up the soup nicely — actually loved that! ![A spoonful of rice soaked in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-14-50g62-966.webp) ![Rib meat sliding off the bone](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-15-dcfoc-966.webp) ![Tender piece of cooked octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-16-oshdx-966.webp) The harmony of the tender, not-chewy octopus and the soft rib meat that slid right off the bone was pure art! ![Young ginseng sprout in the ugoltang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-17-6v937-966.webp) ![Gingko nuts and jujubes in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-18-1k1r9-966.webp) There was also saessak-sam (young ginseng sprout), gingko nuts, and jujubes to help with the health boost, which made me feel even healthier^^ ![A spoonful combining octopus and rib meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-19-cee1b-966.webp) Piling it all onto one spoon and eating it in one bite made it even better! The best! ## Free ice cream for a Naver review, plus dessert teas Baekheukdam is generous — writing a Naver review gets you not just a drink but ice cream too! Apparently the drink comes as a canned beverage, but I only got the ice creamㅎㅎㅎㅎ ![Notice about Baekheukdam's Naver review perk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-20-1jpg8-966.webp) They brought out two ice creams! Apparently it's 2 for a solo visit and 3 for two people~ ![Two scoops of ice cream received as a perk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-21-1rfe8-966.webp) Cool, sweet chocolate and cookies-and-cream ice cream! Chewy like gelato and delicious — good enough that I didn't need to go to a café afterward! ![Omija tea dessert corner near the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-22-1hcvc-966.webp) ![Maesil tea prepared as dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-23-18fay-966.webp) Near the entrance, omija tea (five-flavor berry tea) and maesil tea (plum tea) were also set out as dessert^^ And a thoughtful touch — toothpaste and toothbrushes in the restroom! ## Who should eat at Baekheukdam? The devotion of 12-hour sous vide, the deep savory broth, the neat garden atmosphere, and the thoughtful ice cream dessert — Baekheukdam was perfect all around! If you're taking your parents to a meal, need a health boost, or want to treat loved ones to a hearty meal, I highly recommend visiting without hesitation!^^ ![Full table of herbal octopus ugoltang at Baekheukdam in Hanam](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam-24-1mfxp-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Baekheukdam (백흑담) - 93 Misadong-ro, 1st floor, Hanam, Gyeonggi, South Korea - 경기도 하남시 미사동로 93 1층 백흑담 - 37.5752705, 127.2031043 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%B1%ED%9D%91%EB%8B%B4/@37.5752705,127.2031043,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-rain-cup/hanam-misa-octopus-galbitang-baekheukdam/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
