At a quiet hour and a window seat, the order was truffle mushroom cream gnocchi, shrimp rosé pasta, and sweet potato fries on the side. The gnocchi sauce was thin and broth-like rather than thick, a first for me, and Bueokgan Sangmu Branch suits any meal where the atmosphere matters most. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 25 Seogwangju-ro, Seo-gu, Gwangju - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 (last order 21:00) - **Break time**: 16:00–16:30 - **Parking**: Private parking lot behind the restaurant - **Service**: Takeout / groups welcome - **Ordered**: Truffle mushroom cream gnocchi, shrimp rosé pasta, sweet potato fries *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Signature pasta photo at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-01-hpdfy-1200.webp) ## Where is Bueokgan Sangmu Branch?

Apparently it was designed with a vintage classic Italian hotel concept in mind, inspired by the Titanic's ballroom. Knowing that made me quietly excited even before stepping inside. ![Interior of Bueokgan Sangmu Branch decorated with warm lighting and furniture](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-04-1ghx5-966.webp) The lighting and furniture had a warm feel that made the space cozy, and even with a lot of tables, they were spaced generously enough to sit comfortably. ![Generously spaced table seating at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-05-60y63-966.webp) ![Hall seating at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch suitable for group use](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-06-sxiw8-966.webp) It felt like a great date spot, but with so many seats it also looked good for family gatherings, group dinners, or wedding-invitation meetups with several people 💛 ![Quiet-hour atmosphere at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-07-lo1di-966.webp) ### A window seat at Bueokgan during a quiet hour I went at an in-between hour so it was quiet, which made for a relaxed meal. A window seat happened to be open, so I sat there — looking outside, feeling the sunlight, eating good food, it was just lovely. The space itself is so pretty that it came to mind as a place to remember for special occasions too...🤍 ![Sunlit window seat at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-08-wg3e3-966.webp) ## What we ordered at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch ### Truffle mushroom cream gnocchi: a sauce that pours like broth ![A plate of truffle mushroom cream gnocchi at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-09-1ci7n-966.webp) The truffle mushroom cream gnocchi is loaded with various mushrooms, truffle, and cheese, so the savory, rich cream sauce paired well with the gnocchi. But the sauce wasn't thick — it ran more like a broth, which felt like something I'd never had before, but in a good way. ![Close-up of truffle mushroom cream gnocchi with mushrooms and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-10-1xfxd-966.webp) The gnocchi itself was really chewy on the inside but crisp on the outside, which made it delicious. With oyster mushrooms, pine mushrooms, and more mixed in, the texture varied slightly with each bite, and with the cheese added on top, the overall flavor was pretty rich. If you're someone who likes cream sauce or gnocchi, this would pair nicely with the other pasta dishes on the Sangmu district menu. ![Shrimp rosé pasta at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-11-1wu16-966.webp) ### Shrimp rosé pasta at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch The shrimp rosé pasta is a creamy rosé pasta with springy shrimp and button mushrooms, and with shrimp added, it felt even more filling. ![Rosé pasta topped with shrimp and button mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-12-ti15g-966.webp) ![Fork lifting noodles from the shrimp rosé pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-13-tgjj4-966.webp) The rosé sauce combined the soft taste of cream with a slightly fresh tomato touch, so it never felt too heavy and was easy to keep eating. If the gnocchi was rich and savory, the shrimp rosé pasta was a bit more familiar and easy to enjoy haha. ![Side dish of sweet potato fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-14-1a5r4-966.webp) ### Sweet potato fries on the side We also had sweet potato fries on the side. They're coated in rice flour and fried extra crispy, so the outside was crunchy while the inside had that sweet potato sweetness. They were nice to nibble on in between bites of pasta or gnocchi, and the sweetness made the whole menu combination fun. ![Pasta spread set on a table by the window at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi/buhukgan-sangmu-window-seat-truffle-gnocchi-15-ddu3w-966.webp) ## Who is Bueokgan Sangmu Branch right for?
