A couple ordered the Bomseol Set at 23,000 won per person, which came with stone pot rice, cheonggukjang (rich soybean paste stew), spicy marinated crab, bossam (boiled pork with wraps) and grilled mackerel, and refilled at the self-serve bar with tteokbokki, sweet potato fritters and jjolmyeon. The seasoning stayed mild and the wrap vegetables were unlimited, making Bomseol a solid choice for a family meal. ## Good to know - **Location**: 40 Cheomdan-daero, Building A 1F, A116–A120, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon (S5 City commercial building A) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM - **Parking**: Free for 2 hours in the underground lot - **What we ordered**: Bomseol Set, 23,000 won per person (ordered for two) - **Set menu price range**: Deulbap Set 18,000 won – Guibin Set 56,000 won - **Seating**: Tables for four up to group seating; partitioned room for up to 12 - **Self-serve bar**: Unlimited banchan and wrap vegetables, jjolmyeon, tteokbokki, fritters, pumpkin porridge, barley rice, bibimbap toppings, Korean sweets and tea - **Price reference**: ₩18,000 ≈ $13 · ₩56,000 ≈ $40.5 · ₩23,000 ≈ $16.5 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* If you want a healthy, hearty Korean set meal with the family ![Signature photo of the hanjeongsik set spread at Bomseol Songdo International City](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-01-7wn9r-1200.webp) My husband and I were craving something healthy and filling, so we came to Bomseol, a hanjeongsik (Korean set-menu) restaurant in Songdo, Incheon. It had everything from refined dishes older folks would enjoy to easy options for kids, making it a great spot for a family meal. ## Where is Bomseol Songdo International City, and is there parking? Bomseol is in the S5 City commercial building, Building A. It takes up a large space on the first floor, so it was easy to find, and the underground lot offers 2 hours of free parking, which made driving there convenient. It's open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM, so you can come for lunch or dinner, and it's a fairly new hanjeongsik restaurant. ![Exterior of Bomseol on the first floor of S5 City commercial building, Building A](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-02-scau1-966.webp) ![Entrance to Bomseol Songdo International City](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-03-fevpd-966.webp) ![Signage in front of the Bomseol storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-04-17hy5-966.webp) ![Full view of Bomseol, the hanjeongsik restaurant in Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-05-odfds-966.webp) ## Is Bomseol a comfortable place for a family meal? Inside, Bomseol felt clean and tidy overall. There were plenty of 4-person tables as well as group seating, and the tables were spaced generously apart so we didn't have to worry about neighboring tables — great for a relaxed family meal. The tables themselves were wide, so even with several dishes out there was never a sense of running out of room, and the sunlight streaming in made the whole space feel pretty. ![Spacious table seating inside Bomseol](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-06-1i1eb-966.webp) ![Bomseol's group seating area separated by partitions](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-07-1437b-966.webp) There was also a section on one side separated by partitions, giving it a room-like feel — a group seating area that fits up to 12 people. It's not a fully enclosed room, but with enough separation, it seemed good for family gatherings or larger groups eating together. ## What's on the Bomseol self-serve bar? ![Overview of the Bomseol self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-08-2sknc-966.webp) ![Basic banchan section of the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-09-18pls-966.webp) Bomseol's big advantage is being a hanjeongsik restaurant with a self-serve bar! You can freely refill your favorite basic banchan (side dishes), and there was also food that wasn't even part of our order. ![Unlimited refill side dishes prepared at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-10-cfdpu-966.webp) ![Snack corner at the self-serve bar with tteokbokki and fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-11-1vhhx-966.webp) ![Jjolmyeon and sweet potato fritters brought from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-12-3vayo-966.webp) Not only could we refill the basic banchan, there were also snack foods like jjolmyeon (chewy cold noodles), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and fritters. The moment my husband spotted these, he brought back tteokbokki, sweet potato fritters and jjolmyeon and happily dug in. It seems like it would be especially useful for families dining with young kids. ![Pumpkin porridge and barley rice corner at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-13-1mwjr-966.webp) ![Bibimbap ingredients and Korean dessert corner at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-14-1rzs2-966.webp) There was pumpkin porridge as a kind of appetizer, barley rice for anyone who can't eat white rice for health reasons, bibimbap ingredients ready at the self-serve bar, and even Korean sweets and tea for dessert — so we could handle dessert in the same spot. ![Lettuce, perilla leaves and other wrap vegetables at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-15-ka77c-966.webp) ![Unlimited refill wrap vegetable corner at Bomseol](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-16-413gt-966.webp) There was also a variety of wrap vegetables — lettuce, perilla leaves, cabbage, kale and more — and even with vegetable prices being sky-high these days, they were unlimited refill, which made this feel like a hanjeongsik restaurant that's great for families to enjoy generously. ## Bomseol set menus and prices, from 18,000 to 56,000 won Bomseol's set menus are built around stone pot rice and cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew), paired with a variety of main dishes such as bossam (boiled pork wraps), grilled fish, seasoned crab, or beef bulgogi hot pot. With prices ranging from the ₩18,000 Deulbap Set to the ₩56,000 Guibin Set, there's a range of compositions to choose from depending on your purpose or taste, which I thought was a real plus. ![Bomseol's set menu board and price list](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-17-nyci2-966.webp) ## Eating the 23,000 won Bomseol Set for two We ordered the Bomseol Set (₩23,000 per person) for two. It's a spread with stone pot rice and cheonggukjang as the base, plus seasoned geumge crab, bossam, and grilled mackerel. The food didn't take long to arrive, and as each dish was set down one by one, the table filled up fast. ![Full spread of the Bomseol Set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-18-16e17-966.webp) The well-cooked stone pot rice was topped with sweet pumpkin and ginkgo nuts, and we got to finish it off with sungnyung (scorched rice tea) at the end, which was a nice touch. The cheonggukjang came already simmered and ready to eat — rich, deep and nutty, very much like old-school cheonggukjang. I thought older generations would especially love it. Side dishes included baby potatoes, bracken fern, stir-fried kimchi, kimchi, jellyfish salad, and pickled garlic scapes, along with wrap vegetables and ssamjang (dipping sauce) to go with the bossam. Two kinds of jeon (Korean pancakes) came out, one per person, plus japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), so there was plenty of variety for two people. And my favorite, gaji tangsu (sweet and sour eggplant), also showed up — crispy texture with plump eggplant, so good. ![Stone pot rice topped with pumpkin and ginkgo nuts, with cheonggukjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-19-sm63m-966.webp) ![Basic side dishes including baby potatoes, bracken fern and jellyfish salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-20-kn3hc-966.webp) ![Crispy fried eggplant and Korean pancakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-21-wueq0-966.webp) The mains came with both meat and seafood, so my meat-loving husband focused on the bossam while I, a seafood person, went for the crab and grilled fish, and in between we both kept grabbing snacks from the self-serve bar — nice that we could each eat to our own taste. I don't usually go for seasoned raw crab, but Bomseol's version wasn't fishy at all, and the spicy-sweet sauce was seriously delicious. That one stuck with me. ![Bossam and wrap vegetables from the Bomseol Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-22-1ci5n-966.webp) ![Plate of seasoned geumge crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-23-1msuj-966.webp) ![Grilled mackerel served at Bomseol](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family-24-t32pg-966.webp) With unlimited wrap vegetables too, there was fun in wrapping and eating everything, and overall the seasoning wasn't harshly salty, sweet, or spicy — closer to clean, healthy Korean home cooking. That made me think it would be a really good family meal spot for parents, elders, and kids alike. ## Is Bomseol Songdo worth a visit? With its wide variety of dishes, spacious and comfortable layout for family meals, and available parking, Bomseol was a refined hanjeongsik restaurant in Songdo, Incheon — one where the self-serve bar let us eat generously and however we liked, whether dining as a family or with a larger group. ## Where it is - Bomseol Songdo International City (봄설 송도국제도시점) - 40 Cheomdan-daero, A-dong 1F A116-A120, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 연수구 첨단대로 40 A동 1층 A116~A120호 - 37.3700348, 126.6503746 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B4%84%EC%84%A4%20%EC%86%A1%EB%8F%84%EA%B5%AD%EC%A0%9C%EB%8F%84%EC%8B%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.3700348,126.6503746,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@last-bite-journal/bomseol-songdo-hanjeongsik-selfbar-family/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
