The exterior is full of charm, too. I’d love to eat at a terrace table when the weather is nice! ![European-style restaurant exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta-04-1hjm3-900.webp) ![Bueokgan Suwan Branch exterior with terrace seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta-05-hv7j9-900.webp) Inside, the interior felt warm and cozy.

Mushroom grill salad Shrimp anchovy oil pasta Abalone cream risotto I wanted to try a bit of everything, so I ordered a salad, pasta, and risotto. They looked so delicious from the start, and the portions were quite generous too~~~✨ ![Three orders of salad, pasta, and risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta-08-1x4jw-900.webp) ![A generous spread of Western-style dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta-09-w6zfz-900.webp) ### Mushroom grill salad It came with grilled mini king oyster mushrooms and oyster mushrooms, topped with fresh vegetables and nuts. Grilled mushrooms are my absolute favorite, so I had to order it! Eating it with the pasta and risotto made it a great in-between bite, and a mouthful of salad after the mains made my palate feel refreshed! ![Salad with grilled mushrooms and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta-10-51702-900.webp) ![Mushroom grill salad paired with main dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta-11-1b7z1-900.webp) ### Shrimp anchovy oil pasta This is my favorite menu item that I order every time I visit Bueokgan. It’s their signature oil pasta with fresh shrimp and anchovies, and it looks delicious from the very first glance. The seasoning was just right, and the pasta’s texture and sauce worked so well together! It’s a can’t-go-wrong choice, so I recommend it 💛 ![Oil pasta with shrimp and anchovies](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta-12-1ob8p-966.webp) ![Shrimp anchovy oil pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta-13-10sj0-900.webp) ### Abalone cream risotto The rich abalone innards sauce and cream went beautifully with the abalone and clam meat, with delicate fried enoki mushrooms on top. The cream sauce wasn’t bland at all, thanks to that distinct seafood flavor, and the bites of abalone and clam meat were delicious. This is another must-order item whenever I come to Bueokgan 💛 ![Cream risotto with abalone and clam meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta-14-9lmi9-1200.webp) ## A meal with all three dishes This time, I tried three dishes at Bueokgan Suwan Branch. Each one tasted great overall, and they made a lovely combination together. It was such a nice meal—I felt like I’d finally enjoyed a delicious Western-style meal at a relaxed pace!! This place has it all, from atmosphere to flavor. As always, Bueokgan never disappoints~~~~ If you’re looking for a good restaurant in Suwan District or Suwan-dong, Gwangju, or craving Western-style dishes like pasta and risotto, I recommend Bueokgan Suwan Branch 💛 ## Where it is - Bueokgan Suwan Branch (부엌간 수완점) - 1F, 37 Suwan-ro 106beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea (전남광주통합특별시 광산구 수완로106번길 37 1층) - 전남광주통합특별시 광산구 수완로106번길 37 1층 - 35.1940376, 126.8322486 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EC%97%8C%EA%B0%84%20%EC%88%98%EC%99%84%EC%A0%90/@35.1940376,126.8322486,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeolla-rice-slip/suwan-bueokgan-abalone-risotto-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
