A couple ordered two bowls of the basic Boksan haejangguk at 11,000 won each plus a small Boksan pork bulgogi at 5,000 won, then loaded the soup with sancho (Sichuan pepper) powder — with so much meat and vegetables, adding rice made the bowls almost too much to finish. Boksan Haejang delivers big portions, deep broth and strong value in one lunch. ## Good to know - **Address**: 476 Munsu-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan (1st floor) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–14:30 (last order 14:00) - **Regular closing day**: Every Monday - **Parking**: Room for about 3 cars in front of the restaurant - **Boksan haejangguk (beef gukbap), basic**: 11,000 won - **Boksan pork bulgogi, small**: 5,000 won - **Payment**: Ulsan Pay accepted - **Waiting**: Can be booked through the Tabling app *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* A hearty beef gukbap (rice soup) lunch recommendation 🍚 Today I'm sharing my review of Boksan Haejang, a lunch spot I visited near Gongeop Tower in Ulsan 🥰 - 📍 Address: 476 Munsu-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan, South Korea (1F) - ⏰ Hours: Daily 11:00–14:30 (last order 14:00) - 🚨 Closed: Every Monday - 🚗 Parking: ⭕️ ## Where is Boksan Haejang, and is it easy to find from Gongeop Tower? Boksan Haejang sits right at the entrance to the road heading into Okdong, right next to the street, so it really wasn't hard to find! ![Exterior of Boksan Haejang Nam-gu Sinjeong Branch on Munsu-ro, Ulsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-01-1s9qa-900.webp) And parking is such an important detail, right? Haha. There's space for about 3 cars right in front of the restaurant, so it was a comfortable visit 🚗💨 ![Parking space in front of Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-02-w2d9y-900.webp) There was a wait the day we visited, so we booked through Table Managing and waited a bit! The turnover was good though, so we got seated faster than expected haha ![Waiting seats at the entrance of Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-03-k77bq-900.webp) And the waiting seats by the entrance were decorated so nicely 🤭💕 It felt like they put real thought even into the waiting area, which made me weirdly happy! ## Inside Boksan Haejang: the mood and the baby chair ![Aesthetic interior near the entrance of Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-04-3omnb-900.webp) The first thing that caught my eye walking in! Isn't it just so aesthetically done? 😍 ![Decorative props placed around Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-05-rwczi-900.webp) Little props are placed nicely all around, and best of all — they even have a baby chair ready! Such a thoughtful touch 👶🏻💕 ![Baby chair set up at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-06-8l844-900.webp) Make sure to grab an apron too 😊 ![Apron provided at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-07-8vpxp-900.webp) ![Interior seating with rounded tables at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-08-jo12r-820.webp) The place was almost fully booked when we first walked in, so I couldn't take photos right away. I quickly snapped some once a few people left 📸 Overall the interior felt very clean yet warm. The tables are rounded too, which gave it a more comfortable, stable feeling! And there were plenty of tables for two, so it seemed like a great spot for solo dining too haha ### A menu board with a pretty corner around it ![Menu board and surrounding decor at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-09-14h4t-900.webp) The area around the menu board felt so aesthetic too — everything was clean and nicely decorated, and I found myself thinking 'oh… they're really serious about the interior here?' 👀✨ lol. I personally love spaces that are neatly arranged but still show the owner's personal touch everywhere, so this vibe was really my thing 💕 ## What we ordered at Boksan Haejang and what it cost Here's what we ordered! - 🥘 Boksan Haejangguk (beef gukbap), basic ₩11,000 × 2 - 🥩 Boksan pork bulgogi, small ₩5,000 ![Table setting and side dishes at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-10-1eyom-900.webp) ![Salt, pepper, sancho powder, and perilla seed powder on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-11-1dhwv-900.webp) And on the table they had 🧂 salt, 🌶️ pepper, 🌿 sancho (Sichuan pepper) powder, and 🤎 perilla seed powder ready to go! I'm a big sancho powder fan, so the moment I sat down I thought, 'today I'm going all in on the sancho powder!' lol 🤭 ## How does Boksan haejangguk taste? Deep broth, plenty of meat ![Full table setting with Boksan Haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-12-pmy9y-900.webp) The food came out faster than I expected! ![Boksan Haejangguk beef gukbap packed with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-13-zly9l-900.webp) The presentation was clean and tidy right from the start ✨ I took my first sip of the broth, wondering how it would taste. > Whoa… this broth is seriously rich! Refreshing and spicy 😆 I was surprised by the deep flavor from the very first spoonful, and then surprised again by just how generous the ingredients were! 😳 Beef, radish, glass noodles, green onion, bean sprouts — everything was piled in without holding back. There was so much that I found myself thinking, 'is there anything left over for the owner after giving this much away?' lol 🤣🤣 ### Piling on the sancho powder: eating gukbap my way It was plenty delicious as-is, but I went ahead and added a ton of the sancho powder I'd been eyeing earlier lol. Yep… this is the flavor 🤭💕 ![Haejangguk with sancho powder generously sprinkled in](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-14-ofcyl-848.webp) If you love sancho powder, I'd definitely recommend sprinkling it in to your taste! ## Small Boksan pork bulgogi, 5,000 won, with shredded green onion ![Boksan pork bulgogi, small, topped with green onion shreds](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-15-8k52z-900.webp) Time to try the side dish we ordered, the pork bulgogi haha! It passed the test right away with the generous pile of green onion shreds on top 🙆🏻‍♀️ ![A bite of pork bulgogi with green onion shreds](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-16-19ec0-900.webp) The green onion shreds weren't spicy, so they paired really well with the meat. Eating it together, there was a subtle sesame oil aroma spreading through — not overpowering at all, just clean and mellow! ![Pork bulgogi served on top of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-17-1r6ce-900.webp) It's even better piled on top of rice lol 🍚🥩 Eating it, I thought, 'this would go over really well with kids too!' haha ## Gukbap tastes best with the rice stirred in Eating the rice separately is nice too, but I'm always team 'mix it all in' lol. Poured a full bowl of rice right in and stirred it up~ 🍚🍲 ![Boksan Haejangguk with a bowl of rice mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-18-1bhcr-900.webp) ![Pickled onion side dish served with the gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-19-1ex2r-900.webp) Among the side dishes, the pickled onion was especially delicious! Crunchy, sweet and tangy — I kept reaching for it alongside the gukbap 🤤 The glass noodles slurp right down, soft and chewy, ![Soft glass noodles inside the haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-20-1elty-900.webp) the beef comes in generous chunks, ![Generous chunks of beef in the haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-21-x3t0l-900.webp) and the well-braised radish slurps down too~ it was genuinely fun to eat lol ### The real surprise at Boksan Haejang: the bowl never seems to empty We were eating away happily, but no matter how much we ate, it just didn't seem to go down lol ![A still-generous bowl of haejangguk that never seems to shrink](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-22-1b9p8-900.webp) The portion is seriously unreal 🤣 The haejangguk itself is so generous already, and once you mix in the rice, it becomes almost too much to handle lol. It's rare these days to find a place with such generous portions — this place really delivers 🥹💕 They even have a large size… I can't even imagine how much they'd give you with that 🤣 ## Yukhoe bibimbap next time, and Ulsan Pay is accepted This place is also known for their yukhoe (raw beef), so I wanted to try the yukhoe bibimbap too! But… eating the haejangguk left both my husband and me way too full lol 🫠 In the end we couldn't order the yukhoe bibimbap 😭 Next time for sure! 👉 Yukhoe bibimbap 👉 Mungtigi — I'm going to try both 😋💕 ![Sign indicating Ulsan Pay is accepted](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-23-16z26-900.webp) Ulsan Pay accepted! Just a heads up haha ## Final verdict on Boksan Haejang ![Overall photo of the lunch spread at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch-24-wjp55-1200.webp) A hearty meal that delivers on portion size, rich broth, and great value all at once! Above all, the haejangguk was packed with so many ingredients that we left the table really full and satisfied haha. If you're near Gongeop Tower looking for a filling, generous lunch, this Ulsan restaurant, Boksan Haejang, is well worth a visit 🥰 Next time, I'm coming back for the yukhoe bibimbap and mungtigi I missed out on! 💪🏻 lol ## Where it is - Boksan Haejang Nam-gu Sinjeong Branch (복산해장 남구신정점) - 476 Munsu-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan, South Korea (1F) - 울산광역시 남구 문수로 476 1층 - 35.5323552, 129.3055135 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B3%B5%EC%82%B0%ED%95%B4%EC%9E%A5%20%EB%82%A8%EA%B5%AC%EC%8B%A0%EC%A0%95%EC%A0%90/@35.5323552,129.3055135,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@harbor-after-dark/boksan-haejang-ulsan-beef-gukbap-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
