The writer sat at the bar with a friend for the Spring and Jang (봄과 장) dinner course, from cold potato soup to conger eel katsudon and rare cheesecake, and especially enjoyed the Yeontae Gold highball and the steamed abalone with eggplant. Kkweda was satisfying to the very last course, enough to want to come back once more in winter. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–21:30 - **Break time**: 14:00–17:00 - **Dinner policy**: An alcoholic drink order is required with the dinner course - **Reservations**: Book through Naver Reservation before visiting - **Location**: First floor of Avenue France in Pangyo, next to Olive Young - **Seating**: Bar seating - **This season's theme**: Spring and Jang *as written by the visitor on Jun 27, 2026* I'm bringing you a review of Kkweda Avenue France Branch, a Pangyo omakase spot that really makes the most of seasonal ingredients.

Yes, at Kkweda Pangyo Avenue France Branch you have to order alcohol with the dinner course. Since I came for dinner, my friend and I ordered the Peaceminusone GD highball and the Yeontae Gold highball. ## Kkweda Spring and Jang course lineup ### Cold potato soup The first course was a cold potato soup. Pickled sweet shrimp, chive-like dalrae oil and balsamic sauce lifted the flavor of the soup. It suited my taste right from the start, so good. ![Cold potato soup with pickled sweet shrimp and dalrae oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-14-bk81r-900.webp) ### Yeontae Gold highball, refreshing and recommended Then our drinks arrived. I was going to order the Peaceminusone GD highball, but my friend wanted something lower in alcohol, so I ordered the Yeontae Gold highball instead. It turned out to be zesty and refreshing, and I really recommend it. ![Two highballs ordered at Kkweda](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-15-1gavq-966.webp) ![Yeontae Gold highball and Peaceminusone GD highball](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-16-a5oao-900.webp) ### Barley salad Next came a barley salad. Doenjang (fermented soybean paste) mixed with barley gives it a nutty flavor. We were told to put it on top of the leafy wraps beside it. ![Doenjang barley salad served with leafy wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-17-16twx-900.webp) Honestly, I worried the doenjang would be too strong, but the barley and vegetables blended well and it was tastier than I expected. ### Steamed abalone with eggplant, my favorite of the day The next course was steamed abalone with eggplant. Abalone broth was turned into jelly and finished with sea urchin roe and lime juice. Personally, this was the best dish for me. The abalone was steamed to just the right tenderness and went really well with the lime. ![Steamed abalone and eggplant topped with abalone broth jelly and sea urchin roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-18-689ye-m-966.webp) ### Shrimp cannelloni The shrimp cannelloni that came next had minced shrimp inside the cannelloni pasta, with a gochujang (red chili paste) yuzu dressing as the sauce. ![Shrimp cannelloni with gochujang yuzu dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-19-1fa49-900.webp) You dip each bite in the sauce, and this was every bit as delicious. ![A bite of shrimp cannelloni with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-20-1924l-966.webp) ### Clear chicken soup, my friend's top pick The clear chicken soup was a blend of chicken and abalone broth, topped with chicken thigh chashu. This was my friend's top pick. It balanced Korean and Japanese flavors, so of course I enjoyed it too. ![Clear chicken soup topped with chicken thigh chashu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-21-1np0c-1200.webp) ![Clear chicken soup blending chicken and abalone broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-22-1vb2v-900.webp) ### Sous vide roast beef with pickled bampung greens The sous vide roast beef came with garnishes of mugwort doenjang, grilled asparagus and pickled bampungnamul (a wild green). I'd never heard of bampungnamul before, but it was so good that I kept thinking about it. ![Sous vide roast beef with mugwort doenjang and pickled bampung greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-23-sda1l-900.webp) ### Clear soup and conger eel katsudon For the next course, together with a clear soup, ![Conger eel katsudon topped with shishito peppers, served with clear soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course/pangyo-kkweda-spring-jang-course-24-rwfxm-966.webp) came an anago (conger eel) katsudon (breaded cutlet rice bowl). This was the last course of the meal, topped with shishito peppers. Personally I don't really like the fishy taste eel tends to have, but I finished it all happily. ### Dessert: rare cheesecake The dessert was a rare cheesecake decorated with apple compote. It was a truly satisfying meal to the very end. ## Is Kkweda Pangyo Avenue France Branch worth going back to? Kkweda is a Pangyo omakase spot serving attractive dishes where seasonal ingredients come together nicely.
