We ordered sweet pumpkin soup, jambon pizza, and basil pesto cream pasta à la carte, with prices from ₩8,000 to ₩24,000. Verdict: the poached-egg cream pasta and pistachio jambon pizza made for a very happy dinner. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 - **Break time**: 30 minutes - **Parking**: Parking lot available - **Sweet pumpkin soup**: ₩8,000 - **Jambon pizza**: ₩24,000 - **Basil pesto cream pasta**: ₩18,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* It had been ages since I’d seen my friend^^~ Since we don’t get to see each other just anywhere, I looked for somewhere pretty and found Bueokgan Sangmu Branch! I’d gone when it was in Dongmyeong-dong and Pungam-dong before, but I guess those locations are gone now…! I liked itㅠㅠ Such a shame, such a shame. Still, I’m soooo glad there’s a Sangmu Branch that’s even prettier and full of atmosphere💗 ## Bueokgan Sangmu Branch hours and location Open daily 11:00–22:00. A 30-minute break time is amazing lol. I think it’s because it’s a restaurant that also runs as a café!!! The break is short and it’s open every day, so the real advantage is that you can visit whenever you want! It’s not in the main part of Sangmu District, so it’s quiet and sooo nice. It’s right by the road, making it easy to find, and especially! The route connects to my house, so it was super, super convenient for me haha. ## Parking lot and exterior ![Bueokgan Sangmu Branch parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-sangmu-bueokgan-pizza-pasta/gwangju-sangmu-bueokgan-pizza-pasta-01-42p53-900.webp) There’s a parking lot like this, so parking was soooo easy!!!!!
