# Daytime beer and pork kimchi stew at Goyu, Gyeongju restaurant - By Seulha (https://superchart.com/en/@harbor-supper-map/) - Written Sep 13, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk - Sponsored: This post was written as part of a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@harbor-supper-map/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@harbor-supper-map/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/index.md) ## In short Goyu is a Korean restaurant on Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk, newly opened with counter seats by the entrance and 2- and 4-person tables in a clean interior. Over a daytime beer, the writer ordered Goyu's slow-braised pork whole-cabbage kimchi stew for two (15,000 won) and hanwoo yukhoe (raw beef) bibim buckwheat noodles (18,000 won); the kimchi stew pork was tender enough to eat without cutting, and the buckwheat noodles tasted twice as good with the yukhoe and pear together. For one solid Korean meal while traveling in Gyeongju, Goyu is a good pick. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 (break 15:00–16:00) - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; use nearby paid parking - **Waiting**: At peak hours, sign up on the Tabling waitlist app and wait - **Seating**: Counter seats at the entrance, plus 2- and 4-person tables - **Slow-braised pork whole-cabbage kimchi stew (2 or more)**: 15,000 won (rice included) - **Soy-braised pork with seasonal salad (2 or more)**: 15,000 won - **Cold pork with thick doenjang and kale ssambap (rice wraps)**: 18,000 won - **Mackerel and perilla oil buckwheat noodles**: 18,000 won - **Hanwoo yukhoe (raw beef) bibim buckwheat noodles**: 18,000 won - **Hanwoo yukhoe mulhoe (chilled raw beef soup)**: 18,000 won - **Crispy hanwoo bulgogi**: 13,000 won - **Cheese potato pancake**: 12,000 won - **Eggplant gangjeong (sweet crisp-fried eggplant)**: 9,000 won - **Signature kimchi stew set**: 53,000 won (pork kimchi stew for 2, potato pancake, eggplant gangjeong) - **Goyu set**: 46,000 won (hanwoo yukhoe buckwheat noodles, crispy bulgogi, doenjang ssambap) - **Price reference**: ₩53,000 ≈ $39.5 · ₩46,000 ≈ $34 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* I was heading to Gyeongju for a trip today and really wanted Korean food, so I ended up on Hwangnidan-gil!!! I decided to grab a meal at a spot called Goyu, a well-known restaurant on Hwangnidan-gil. > Goyu, a Korean restaurant on Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju ![Exterior of Goyu, a Korean restaurant on Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-01-1r91w-900.webp) ![Entrance to Goyu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-02-dyo5l-900.webp) ## Goyu's hours, parking and waiting: what to know Goyu is open daily from 11:00 to 21:00, with a break time from 15:00 to 16:00.

Right as you walk in there's counter seating, and next to it are 2-person and 4-person tables. ![Goyu's Korean food menu and set menu prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-06-1nvgl-544.webp) ## Goyu's menu and prices, including set menus - Braised pork whole-cabbage kimchi stew (2+ people) ₩15,000 - Soy-braised pork with seasonal salad (2+ people) ₩15,000 - Cold pork with doenjang and kale ssambap ₩18,000 - Mackerel perilla oil buckwheat noodles ₩18,000 - Hanwoo yukhoe bibim buckwheat noodles ₩18,000 - Hanwoo yukhoe mulhoe ₩18,000 - Hanwoo crispy bulgogi ₩13,000 - Cheese potato pancake ₩12,000 - Eggplant gangjeong ₩9,000 For set menus, there's the Signature Kimchijjim Set (pork kimchijjim for 2, potato pancake, eggplant gangjeong) for ₩53,000, and the Goyu Set (hanwoo yukhoe noodles, crispy bulgogi, doenjang ssambap) for ₩46,000.

You know how hair gets in the way while eating, ladies — just tie it up with the hair tie provided. Such a thoughtful owner! ![Goyu's drink menu and the beer we ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-08-1tjgn-900.webp) ### Goyu's drinks menu: beer for a daytime meal They have all kinds of alcohol, not just makgeolli (rice wine)! Looking at the menu I really wanted to try the makgeolli, but since it was daytime we kept it simple and ordered beer!!! I'll have to come back to try the makgeolli next time!!!!!!!!! ![A daytime beer to go with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-09-3dr4x-900.webp) ## Goyu's side dishes: fresh geotjeori kimchi and beef radish soup The basic side dishes were crisp geotjeori (fresh unfermented kimchi) and a savory, refreshing beef radish soup. ![Crisp geotjeori served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-10-1fitm-900.webp) ![Basic side dish of beef radish soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-11-1qbl4-900.webp) The geotjeori was a little spicy, good to eat in place of regular kimchi! The beef radish soup was on the saltier side, which made it great with rice. ![Table setting for the hanwoo yukhoe bibim buckwheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-12-1p27o-900.webp) ## Hanwoo yukhoe bibim buckwheat noodles, 18,000 won, served with pear The hanwoo yukhoe (raw beef) bibim buckwheat noodles came out first. The visuals were incredible! Both the yukhoe and the buckwheat noodles were glistening. The yukhoe came with pear to eat alongside — the staff member was peeling each pear by hand right there. ![Hanwoo yukhoe and pear topped on the buckwheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-13-ucxag-900.webp) The sweetness of the pear with the savory, mellow yukhoe — no words needed. The yukhoe was fresh with a nice chewy texture. ![Hanwoo yukhoe picked up together with pear](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-14-1bskh-900.webp) The bibim buckwheat noodles were packed with umami! The seasoning on the noodles was genuinely delicious. The yukhoe wasn't too heavily seasoned, so it went really well with the noodles. Noodles + yukhoe + pear together is a perfect match. You have to eat all three together — it's twice as good that way. ![Hanwoo yukhoe bibim buckwheat noodles mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-15-148d2-1200.webp) ## Slow-braised pork whole-cabbage kimchi stew for two, 15,000 won Next up was the braised pork whole-cabbage kimchi stew! It's available for orders of 2 or more people. They said they use domestic refrigerated pork shoulder. Rice is included when you order the pork kimchijjim. ![Table setting for the braised pork whole-cabbage kimchi stew for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-16-1nrn3-899.webp) The pork kimchijjim comes with half a head of cabbage kimchi, meat, and tofu! ![Kimchijjim with half a head of cabbage kimchi, meat, and tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-17-1opif-900.webp) The meat was braised so thoroughly it was truly tender — you didn't even need to cut it. It melted in my mouth~ ![Kimchijjim meat so tender it doesn't need cutting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-18-ap33c-900.webp) You know you're not supposed to cut the kimchi, right! Whole-cabbage kimchi tastes best torn by hand! I took a bite and it was genuinely delicious. ![Whole-cabbage kimchi torn by hand to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-19-szhhe-900.webp) The combination of tangy kimchi and mellow, clean-tasting meat! So delicious~ Not just the meat but the kimchi itself in this kimchijjim was made with really good kimchi — words aren't necessary. Also, the pork kimchijjim is spicy so there's zero heaviness, it just makes you want more. A taste you keep craving! ![A bite combining kimchi and meat together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-20-aa6bi-900.webp) It was spicy and savory with a good level of seasoning, so it went perfectly with plain white rice! ![Soft tofu included in the kimchijjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe/gyeongju-hwangnidan-gil-goyu-kimchijjim-yukhoe-21-pgtgp-900.webp) The soft tofu was a great addition too!
