Living up to chef Jang Bo-won's three-generation Chinese cooking legacy and its Blue Ribbon title, this was the most impactful and delicious Chinese restaurant I've been to in a while, so let me break down the whole visit haha. ## Where is Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong, and where do you park? Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong is located at Robin Luxury Mall, 30 Eonju-ro 174-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It's a 5-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station, or 15 minutes from Apgujeong Station on Line 3. ![Exterior of Bobo Sikdang at Robin Luxury Mall, Apgujeong Rodeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-04-th8w9-966.webp) - Location: Robin Luxury Mall, 30 Eonju-ro 174-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (5-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station / 15-minute walk from Apgujeong Station) - Hours: Daily 11:30–22:00 (last order 15:00, break time 15:00–17:30) - Parking: Available with valet, first 120 minutes ₩5,000, lot across from the restaurant ## Chef Jang Bo-won's Chinese dining, a repeat Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon pick Bobo Sikdang is a Chinese dining restaurant led by chef Jang Bo-won, who has 20 years of experience continuing a three-generation family tradition.

Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong is split into hall seating and private rooms! The interior overall felt cozy yet very modern and stylish — I thought it was more than fitting for an important meal. ![Hall seating and modern interior at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-06-8omgd-966.webp) ![Interior hall atmosphere at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-07-1ptmd-966.webp) ![Stylish interior space at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-08-1i73k-966.webp) ![Table inside a private room at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-09-d2vtm-966.webp) ![Interior of a private dining room at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-10-eyz19-966.webp) ![Group seating in a private room at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-11-qyeva-966.webp) Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong has private rooms for 4, 6, and 8 people, which would be perfect for gatherings, company dinners, or wedding announcement meetups. The rooms are much more upscale and private! A separate room charge applies when using them. There's also a minimum order for rooms — lunch ₩200,000 / dinner ₩400,000 (all-inclusive). Reservations can be made through Naver and Catch Table. ## Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong menu, drinks and corkage rules Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong's menu is quite varied, covering lunch/dinner courses, cold dishes, soups, fried dishes, rice and noodle mains, and desserts. ![Menu at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-12-csujz-966.webp) ![À la carte menu at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-13-d08rw-966.webp) ![Course and rice menu at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-14-9e8rz-966.webp) ![Drinks menu at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-15-15smd-966.webp) The drink lineup to complement the food is also very rich — Chinese traditional liquors, wine, champagne, Korean traditional liquor, highballs, whiskey, and beer are all available, so it's a great spot to pair drinks with your dishes according to your taste. Corkage is allowed (once per table), with wine/champagne at ₩40,000 and whiskey/baijiu at ₩70,000. ![Charcoal-grilled beef steak with pepper stir-fry at Bobo Sikdang, an Apgujeong Rodeo Chinese restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-16-duu2u-966.webp) Warm tea and pickled mustard greens are served as a default starter, and the table setting overall was clean and tidy without any excess! I love trying signature dishes, so I was even more excited for Bobo Sikdang's own creations — the delicious smells wafting from the open kitchen only built the anticipation before the food even arrived! ## Mala eggplant fritters, 29,000 won Bobo Sikdang's mala eggplant fritters (₩29,000) come out as 6 plump pieces, and each one has a weight to it that's on another level! The crispiness of the outer coating was insane — it held up throughout eating, practically ASMR-worthy. The crispy outside and the naturally moist, soft texture of the eggplant inside create a crazy contrast! Eggplant fritters usually soak up a lot of oil and get greasy fast, right? But at Bobo Sikdang, the addictive flavor of the mala seasoning kept it enjoyable all the way through without ever feeling heavy. The mala heat isn't overpowering, so it's a dish anyone can enjoy without much divide in taste — a total must-try! ## Chuck flap steak with pepper stir-fry, 48,000 won, wrapped in a steamed bun Bobo Sikdang's charcoal-grilled chuck flap steak with pepper stir-fry is ₩48,000. The combination of the tender, charcoal-grilled steak and the savory pepper stir-fry with crunchy bell peppers and vegetables was really excellent! ![Plate of charcoal-grilled steak with pepper stir-fry at Bobo Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-17-qpqb3-966.webp) This charcoal-grilled steak just melts the moment it hits your mouth... isn't that basically cheating? T.T I think this is a must-order dish whether you're taking your parents out or having a gathering! ![Pepper stir-fry piled on top of the charcoal-grilled steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-18-1ca7a-966.webp) ![Wrapping the steak and pepper stir-fry in a steamed bun](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-19-16thr-966.webp) It's already heavenly on its own, but the moment you pile on the savory, crunchy pepper stir-fry and wrap it in a soft steamed bun, your eyes truly light up! Eat these two together and you'll lose your mind shoveling it in — it's a spellbinding combo. Not trying this would honestly be a crime. Total must-order dish! ## Beef jjamppong, 17,000 won: how spicy is it? Bobo Sikdang's beef jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) is ₩17,000. Despite its red, fiery-looking appearance, the seasoning isn't overly salty or intense — it has a clean yet deep, rich beef broth flavor that's outstanding! ![A bowl of beef jjamppong at Bobo Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-20-iwfy3-966.webp) ![Bobo Sikdang's beef jjamppong with red broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-21-19per-966.webp) The gentle spread of beef flavor combined with the sweetness of the vegetables really created a deep taste🤍 ![Lifting a portion of noodles from the beef jjamppong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-22-tq0jn-966.webp) ![Close-up of the broth and toppings in the beef jjamppong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-23-1yzva-966.webp) On top of that, the noodles soaked up the broth thoroughly while staying wonderfully chewy, making for a very satisfying main dish! It even had a cleanness that cut through the greasiness that Chinese food can sometimes have, so I enjoyed it with admiration all the way to the last bite haha. Total must-order dish! ## Who is Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong best for? ![Final spread of dishes at Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry-24-z6wma-966.webp) Even having tried just a portion of the menu, I'm already genuinely looking forward to the rest, so I plan to come back again soon! If you love mala flavors or Chinese food, I think this could easily become your go-to favorite restaurant. With convenient parking and cozy private rooms, it's a place you can enjoy satisfyingly any time — for a special gathering or a date. I highly recommend visiting Bobo Sikdang, a food destination in Apgujeong Rodeo that wins you over with both taste and atmosphere🤍 ## Where it is - Bobo Sikdang Apgujeong (보보식당 압구정) - 103-ho, 1st floor, Robin Luxury Mall, 30 Eonju-ro 174-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 언주로174길 30 로빈명품관 1층 103호 - 37.5279048, 127.0363201 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B3%B4%EB%B3%B4%EC%8B%9D%EB%8B%B9%20%EC%95%95%EA%B5%AC%EC%A0%95/@37.5279048,127.0363201,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jangchung-spare-spoon/bobo-sikdang-apgujeong-sirloin-steak-pepper-stirfry/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
