I went back for the truffle mushroom pizza and also tried abalone cream risotto, kung pao chicken pilaf with reduced spice, and shrimp rosé pasta. Verdict: the chewy crust and fragrant truffle-mushroom topping are absolutely worth returning for. ## Good to know - **Address**: 37 Suwan-ro 106beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea (전남광주 광산구 수완로106번길 37 1층) - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:20–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 20:20 - **Parking**: Street parking is available in the alleys around the restaurant. - **Ordered**: Abalone cream risotto, kung pao chicken pilaf, shrimp rosé pasta, truffle mushroom pizza *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* Today I visited Bueokgan Suwan Branch, a lovely Italian restaurant with a great atmosphere in Suwan District, Gwangju! - Address: 37 Suwan-ro 106beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea (전남광주 광산구 수완로106번길 37 1층) - Hours: Mon–Sun 11:20–21:00 - Break time: 15:00–17:00 - Last order: 20:20 - Street parking is available in the alleys around the restaurant. ![Visitor information for Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-01-kgbn2-900.webp) From the outside, Bueokgan was already so pretty, with its cozy green awning and clean brick exterior!!

It was completely packed even around 2 p.m., so I took these photos when there was no one around. ![Bueokgan Suwan Branch interior at lunchtime](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-04-9nf08-900.webp) ![Table seating at Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-05-sl5ks-900.webp) The atmosphere is so nice that it would be great for a date in Suwan District, Gwangju, and it is also just right for coming with friends or family, haha. ## Menu and What We Ordered ![Bueokgan Suwan Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-06-1x56g-900.webp) ![Menu selection at Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-07-1gym7-900.webp) Take a good look through the menu! ![Menu guide at Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-08-vxwg7-900.webp) ![Set menu at Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-09-1e9li-900.webp) There were lots of sides as well as couple set menus, so it was easy to choose! We picked the abalone cream risotto, kung pao chicken pilaf, shrimp rosé pasta, and truffle mushroom pizza :) ## Abalone Cream Risotto ![A plate of abalone cream risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-10-1khox-900.webp) This abalone cream risotto was full of rich abalone aroma! The abalone flavor and cream sauce came together for a deep, nutty taste. Eating it with the crisp topping on top of the risotto gave it another whole flavor. This is a must-try for anyone who loves smooth cream dishes or wants to try a more unusual risotto. ## Kung Pao Chicken Pilaf with Reduced Spice ![Kung pao chicken pilaf with chicken thigh](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-11-144ix-900.webp) Here is the kung pao chicken pilaf, topped with a whole, big chicken thigh! ![Kung pao chicken pilaf served with chicken thigh](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-12-15oy2-900.webp) When you pull apart the crispy, nutty grilled chicken thigh into easy-to-eat pieces and take a bite with the savory stir-fried pilaf? Such a perfect combination. ![Kung pao chicken pilaf with adjusted spice level](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-13-1r37d-900.webp) I am really bad with spicy food, so although it is normally made a little spicy, I asked for it to be as mild as possible. It was not spicy at all and had such an addictive flavor that I just kept eating it. ## Smooth Shrimp Rosé Pasta ![Rosé pasta with plump shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-14-xuvnb-900.webp) The shrimp rosé pasta arrived too, generously filled with plump shrimp! ![A plate of shrimp rosé pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-15-k9sal-900.webp) ![Pasta with smooth rosé sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-16-it4to-900.webp) I was worried it might be spicy, but the rosé sauce was smooth, not spicy at all, and so lovely and mild. ![Rich rosé sauce and shrimp pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-17-1hbpk-900.webp) The rosé sauce itself was so rich and delicious that it coated the noodles well, and I could eat it all the way through without getting tired of it! It was even better when I made sure to have the rich cream sauce and plump shrimp together! ## The Truffle Mushroom Pizza That Brought Me Back ![Truffle mushroom pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-18-1pd9o-900.webp) Today’s main event, ta-da! This is the truffle mushroom pizza, full of fragrant truffle and mushroom aromas. This is exactly what a mushroom pizza should look like, right?! ![Truffle mushroom pizza topped with mushrooms and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan/suwan-truffle-mushroom-pizza-bueokgan-19-8yauo-900.webp) The mushroom pizza crust was loaded with chewy mushrooms and cheese, and every time I lifted a slice, the truffle aroma spread out..! Can you see that cheese pull?? Anyone who does not like mushrooms? You have to try mushroom pizza. Bye-bye, mushroom prejudice 👋 It will disappear right away. Make sure you get the truffle mushroom pizza!! The crust was still chewy, and once again I was thinking, can the mushroom-and-pizza combination really be this delicious? I enjoyed it so much. The crust is chewy, so you can enjoy every last bit right to the edge.
