A weekday lunch visit brought a basic tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties) set for ₩15,000, piled high with self-bar banchan (side dishes), barley rice, steamed egg, jjajang, and tteokbokki, plus hotpot rice and a crab doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) on top. With window seats overlooking Lotte World, wide tables, and a big parking lot, it's an easy pick for an outing meal. ## Good to know - **Price range**: Dongam tteokgalbi, Hanwoo tteokgalbi, cheese tteokgalbi, etc. from ₩15,000 - **Ordered**: Basic Dongam tteokgalbi (includes hotpot rice and doenjang jjigae) - **Self-bar**: Unlimited banchan and rice (namul/seasoned vegetables, barley rice, steamed egg, tofu, jjajang, tteokbokki, stir-fried squid, fried rice, etc.) - **Kids menu**: Available separately - **Parking**: Large building parking lot, bus stop right in front - **Location**: 3rd floor, 160 Gijanghaean-ro, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea (near Lotte Outlet East Busan, IKEA, Lotte World) - **Wait**: Waiting area available, expect a wait on weekends *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![First photo from the visit to Dongam Tteokgalbi in Gijang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-01-lgqti-900.webp) I was out on a trip to Gijang and this time I visited Dongam Tteokgalbi :) I generally love Korean food, and I stopped by on a day I was heading to Lotte Outlet East Busan — the location turned out to be pretty great. It's also a convenient distance if you're out around Osiria, so it was easy to pair with other plans nearby. ## The vibe and the menu ![Exterior of the building housing Dongam Tteokgalbi near Lotte Outlet East Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-02-1kwvj-900.webp) It's located near Lotte World, Lotte Outlet East Busan, and IKEA. The bus stop is right in front, and the building's parking lot is huge, so it should be easy to park even if you're driving. ![3rd floor entrance and waiting area of Dongam Tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-03-s4vj2-900.webp) I went on a weekday for the lunch opening time, and there were already a lot of people eating. Since there's a waiting area, I'd guess there's a wait on weekends. I'd recommend going early! ![Clean interior of Dongam Tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-04-19344-900.webp) ![Dining hall seating with weekday lunch customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-05-4c5i5-900.webp) Inside, the place felt clean and comfortable overall. I saw families out for a meal together, tourists visiting Busan, and quite a few people with kids. ![Open view toward Lotte World seen from the window seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-06-9ppcv-900.webp) The wide-open view of Lotte World right out front is pretty haha ![Seating with wide tables at Dongam Tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-07-1n1bs-900.webp) ![Tables and overall view of the Dongam Tteokgalbi dining room](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-08-147wh-900.webp) Maybe because it's a Korean restaurant with lots of side dishes, all the tables were spacious and comfortable. The menu ranges from Dongam tteokgalbi, Hanwoo tteokgalbi, cheese tteokgalbi and more, starting at ₩15,000. Once you order tteokgalbi, the side dishes and rice at the self-bar are unlimited. There's also a separate kids menu, and it seemed like pretty good value overall. ## How much is at the all-you-can-eat side dish self-bar? ![Basic side dishes served right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-09-mat7y-966.webp) We ordered the basic Dongam tteokgalbi. The basic side dishes came out right after ordering. ![The unlimited self-bar side dish corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-10-11yyu-900.webp) There's a much wider variety of food at the self-bar, so you just go grab as much as you'll eat. There were really a ton of namul (seasoned vegetable) options, and since there's barley rice too, a lot of people were making bibimbap (mixed rice) with it. ![Namul (seasoned vegetable) side dishes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-11-122uc-900.webp) ![Self-bar side dishes and barley rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-12-1pe7l-900.webp) ![Variety of side dishes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-13-57pyr-900.webp) ![Accompanying dishes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-14-hutp8-900.webp) ![Prepared side dishes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-15-pvzrc-900.webp) ![Side dishes laid out at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-16-n9pzc-900.webp) Beyond that, there was steamed egg, tofu, jjajang, tteokbokki, stir-fried squid, fried rice — so much that it was hard to bring it all back at once. ![A full spread put together from self-bar side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-17-1egm7-900.webp) By the time I'd brought back a bit of everything, the table was already packed before the main dish, the tteokgalbi, even arrived. Just this alone was as much food as you'd get at a decent Korean restaurant! ## How the basic Dongam tteokgalbi and hotpot rice tasted ![A plate of basic Dongam tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-18-10anp-1200.webp) Finally, the tteokgalbi arrived! It looked appetizing, and the flavor was perfect for eating with rice. ![Cross-section of the tender, easy-to-cut tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-19-at0hq-900.webp) It wasn't too strongly seasoned, so it seemed fine even for kids to eat. The meat was really tender and cut easily, and it was thick with a generous portion. ![A bite of tteokgalbi eaten with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-20-1wau0-900.webp) You could really feel that soft, tender texture unique to tteokgalbi, and it went perfectly with rice as expected. It wasn't overly sweet either, which I liked even more. And the rice was hotpot rice, no less! Getting tteokgalbi and hotpot rice for ₩15,000 felt like really good value. The freshly cooked hotpot rice paired so well with the tteokgalbi. ![Freshly cooked hotpot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-21-1nrqq-900.webp) ![Doenjang jjigae with crab and tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-22-a6e0l-900.webp) Then a doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) loaded with crab and tofu arrived, and the whole spread was complete. With tteokgalbi, hotpot rice, and doenjang jjigae all together, it really felt like a full, satisfying meal. ## Final thoughts Dongam Tteokgalbi is a great choice for when you're out around Gijang or Osiria and craving Korean food. Getting to eat tteokgalbi as the main alongside rice and a variety of side dishes made for a satisfying meal. ![Full spread with tteokgalbi, hotpot rice, and side dishes together](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch-23-1entx-825.webp) Especially if you go with a group, everyone can pick side dishes to their own taste, and it feels much heartier than just eating tteokgalbi alone — it left me thinking this is a great-value spot in Gijang. If you're visiting the Lotte Outlet or IKEA area and looking for somewhere nearby to eat, Dongam Tteokgalbi is worth a stop 😊 ## Where it is - Dongam Tteokgalbi (동암떡갈비) - 160 Gijanghaean-ro, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea, 3rd floor - 부산광역시 기장군 기장읍 기장해안로 160 3층 - 35.1916366, 129.2166203 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%EC%95%94%EB%96%A1%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84/@35.1916366,129.2166203,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@harbor-menu-margin/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-self-bar-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
