We remotely joined the weekday lunch queue and shared clear sundae-guk, spicy sundae-guk, and suyuk.

It’s quite well known in Gimpo for Chef Lee Won-il’s sundae-guk, so I’d been curious—and since I happened to be nearby, I stopped in for lunch 🤎 They are currently open mainly during lunchtime, so I’d recommend checking the hours before you go 😉 To cut down the wait a little, we joined the remote queue through Catch Table before heading over 📱 At 11:30 a.m. on a weekday, we waited about 15 minutes before getting in. It’s such a popular spot that it felt much more convenient to join the remote queue first rather than simply turning up. Once inside, the whole place felt clean and neatly organized. Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch is also known as a place many celebrities have visited, which made me even more curious 👀✨ You could see signs of famous visitors throughout the restaurant, and it really showed how popular it is as a local food spot. It was fun and strangely exciting to hear that people I’d seen on TV or social media had actually come here 😊 Even while eating such a familiar dish as sundae-guk, it gave me the different kind of fun of thinking, “Oh, celebrities come here too.” ![Interior atmosphere at Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-04-ggmbp-900.webp) Since it’s such a well-known place, there seemed to be a wait even at weekday lunch. I thought it would be somewhere anyone looking for good food in Gimpo might be curious to try 🤎 Rather than feeling flashy or overly decorated, it had a relaxed atmosphere where you could focus on the sundae-guk and enjoy a comfortable meal. It was a nice spot for lunch 🍚 ![Sundae-guk dining area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-05-kf3dy-900.webp) ![Inside Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-06-7ljmj-900.webp) ![Interior view of the sundae-guk restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-07-1638b-900.webp) ## Ordering gukbap and using the self-service bar When everyone orders one gukbap, the offal meat comes with unlimited refills. ![Offal meat information with a gukbap order](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-08-1i9gr-900.webp) ![Paldam Sundae offal meat refill information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-09-15to3-900.webp) ![Dining area at the sundae-guk restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-10-1khd7-900.webp) There’s a self-service bar and bar-table seating, too. ![Self-service bar and bar-table area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-11-s2cjc-900.webp) ![Paldam Sundae self-service bar area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-12-1uqt7-900.webp) ## Clear sundae-guk, spicy sundae-guk, and suyuk Once we were seated, we ordered one clear sundae-guk, one spicy sundae-guk, and one suyuk (boiled sliced pork). ![Clear and spicy sundae-guk table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-13-6hsjr-1200.webp) ![Ordered sundae-guk and suyuk dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-14-1vq8g-900.webp) ![Two kinds of sundae-guk meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-15-tztjp-900.webp) For two people, it was nice to order one each of the clear and spicy sundae-guk, then share the suyuk 😊 ### Clear sundae-guk that was easy to enjoy First, the clear sundae-guk had a clean, mild broth, so it was easy to enjoy without feeling heavy. It still had that satisfying heartiness sundae-guk is known for, but the broth wasn’t murky, making it great with rice 🍲 ### Spicy sundae-guk with an added kick The spicy sundae-guk had that warm broth with a pleasantly spicy kick, so it had a different charm from the clear version 🌶️ ![Pleasantly spicy sundae-guk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-16-h1ess-900.webp) If you like spicy broth, I think this one would suit your taste better. ![Side dish with spicy sundae-guk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-17-jrywn-900.webp) The suyuk we ordered alongside it was also great to have with the sundae-guk 🥩 ![Suyuk ordered with sundae-guk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-18-1yls8-900.webp) ![Suyuk with mung bean sprouts and chili peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-19-1tn6h-900.webp) It comes bubbling away like a hot pot, with mung bean sprouts and chili peppers, so it was pleasantly spicy, clean, and mild. Rather than having just one bowl of gukbap, ordering a side dish as well made it just right for two people to share. ![Sharing sundae-guk and suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-20-igbiv-900.webp) ![Sundae-guk table setting ideal for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-21-jwpol-900.webp) More than anything, the fact that there was a queue even at weekday lunchtime made me think, ah, there’s a reason so many people come here for good food in Gimpo 😊 ![Lunch at Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-22-1252s-900.webp) If you’re looking for a good restaurant in Janggi-dong or Seokmo-ri and craving a warm, filling meal, Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch could be a good choice. ![Finishing a sundae-guk meal in Gimpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-23-11li4-900.webp) ![Looking forward to revisiting Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch-24-11z34-900.webp) I think I’ll be back to try the other sundae dishes next time 🤎 If you like sundae-guk, do stop by at least once 🍲✨ ## Where it is - Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch (팔담순대 김포본점) - 5 Ungok-ro, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기도 김포시 운곡로 5 1층) - 경기도 김포시 운곡로 5 1층 - 37.6505825, 126.6586065 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8C%94%EB%8B%B4%EC%88%9C%EB%8C%80%20%EA%B9%80%ED%8F%AC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.6505825,126.6586065,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-wooden-tray/gimpo-paldam-sundaeguk-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
