On the way to LetsRun Park, my boyfriend and I had two octopus roe rice and Korean beef tteokgalbi sets; the tender octopus and popping flying-fish roe were the highlight. Verdict: a simple yet filling lunch with a convenient self-service bar. ## Good to know - **Address**: 101, 1F, 10-13 Saesulmak-gil, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 과천시 새술막길 10-13 1층 101호) - **Hours**: 11:00–22:00 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Parking**: No restaurant parking; a public parking lot is directly behind the restaurant - **Public parking fee**: ₩900 for the first 30 minutes, then ₩400 per 10 minutes - **Menu**: Namul, bulgogi, Korean beef yukhoe, and octopus torim bibimbap; hot stone roe rice; hot stone octopus roe rice *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* What do I do whenever I visit Gwacheon?

It costs ₩900 for the first 30 minutes, then ₩400 for every 10 minutes after that, so keep that in mind! ![Public parking information near Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-03-12gf8-900.webp) ![Public parking rates](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-04-vtid9-900.webp) ![Parking information around Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-05-372p8-900.webp) If all the seats are full, write the last four digits of your phone number on the waiting list and wait~ If you aren’t there after being called twice, they move on to the next person, so stay nearby when your turn is coming up! ![Bibisam waiting-list information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-06-seo0o-900.webp) ![How to wait for a table at Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-07-17ic0-900.webp) ## A clean space that’s comfortable for solo dining Since it hasn’t been open for long, the interior was clean and pleasant overall. The tables and dining area were neatly arranged, making it comfortable to eat, and the whole place felt so tidy that it would be perfect for a family meal or lunch. It also felt easygoing enough to dine alone. ![Neatly arranged dining area at Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-08-ynl6u-900.webp) ![Tables inside Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-09-1wxqg-900.webp) I could especially tell they care about cleanliness, so I had a really pleasant meal :) I practically did an opening run and came in as the first customer! Thanks to that, I could leisurely photograph the empty dining room. But as lunchtime got closer, customers started coming in one by one, and before long it was bustling with people eating. It really does seem like a popular lunch spot :) ![Bibisam atmosphere before lunchtime](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-10-d0ck2-848.webp) ## Hot stone octopus roe rice and Korean beef tteokgalbi set They offer torim bibimbap made with namul, bulgogi, Korean beef yukhoe (seasoned raw beef), or octopus, along with hot stone roe rice and hot stone octopus roe rice. ![Bibisam bibimbap and hot stone roe rice menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-11-11e3d-900.webp) My boyfriend and I have exactly the same taste, so we ordered two servings of the hot stone octopus roe rice + Korean beef tteokgalbi set! ![Ordering the hot stone octopus roe rice and Korean beef tteokgalbi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-12-1suk6-966.webp) ![Bibisam set menu order details](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-13-8efhz-900.webp) ### Self-service bar guide Bibisam is run with a small staff, so both picking up and returning your food are self-service. Soup, side dishes, and water are available at the self-service bar too. ![Bibisam self-service bar guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-14-nc79o-900.webp) ![Bibisam self-service area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-15-1oj2s-900.webp) The self-service bar has white kimchi, sesame oil, small plates, scissors, tongs, soup, aprons, and a water dispenser. ![Self-service bar with white kimchi and soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-16-7sx4i-900.webp) So many restaurants think food is clean just because they wear gloves, then handle food with those gloved hands, but Bibisam says its rule is not to touch food with gloved hands! I love that~ ![Disposable apron information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-17-1ik43-900.webp) The individually wrapped disposable apron is sooo cute. ![Individually wrapped disposable apron](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-18-1tzp6-900.webp) ![Hot stone octopus roe rice set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-19-1szmr-900.webp) Such an appetizing hot stone octopus roe rice set 🩷 ![Hot stone octopus roe rice with octopus and flying-fish roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-20-ikv4u-1200.webp) Woooow, the hot stone bowl was full of plump octopus and flying-fish roe! They said to mix the bibimbap with chopsticks, but I found it easier to mix the hot stone bowl with a spoon. There was seaweed powder too, so I added a little of that, haha. ![Hot stone octopus roe rice topped with seaweed powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-21-i12sw-900.webp) The octopus wasn’t tough at all—it was really tender!! The popping flying-fish roe, crunchy danmuji (pickled yellow radish), and rice crisped onto the hot stone bowl. The ingredients worked together perfectly 👍👍 ### Korean beef tteokgalbi ![Korean beef tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-22-1kne5-900.webp) ![Korean beef tteokgalbi served with hot stone roe rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-23-21rmh-900.webp) The juicy Korean beef tteokgalbi had a sweet, deeply savory tteokgalbi sauce, and it went so well with the roe rice!! ![Empty hot stone bowl after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam/gwacheon-dolsot-nakji-albap-bibisam-24-eq085-900.webp) Proof that we ate well. We cleaned our plates and were on our way.
