A family of four ordered only two adult sets at Boriook Main Branch — the barley rice set (13,000 won) and the soy sauce pork set (16,000 won) — and the two preschoolers under 6 ate free, so the bill stayed under 30,000 won while everyone filled up on self-serve namul (seasoned vegetables), freshly fried fritters and thick cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew).

Located right behind Mangpo Fantasium, Boriook is a great spot for family meals and is beloved by locals in Mangpo and Yeongtong. I've always come at lunchtime before, but this time I brought my whole family — four of us — for a meal. ## Family meals near Mangpo Station: Boriook serves the same menu at lunch and dinner Boriook Main Branch is a Mangpo Station restaurant that's great for family meals and gatherings, lunch or dinner, no distinction. The reason I keep coming back for family meals is the value for money!!! ![Interior of Boriook Main Branch in Mangpo, Suwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-01-vuasd-1200.webp) Boriook is already great value even for two adults, but here's why it's perfect for dining with preschool kids — meals for preschoolers are free!!! ## How much do preschoolers pay at Boriook Main Branch? > Preschoolers up to age 5 eat free!! ![Boriook menu board showing preschool child pricing](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-02-m555k-900.webp) If you look at the menu, kids age 6 and up are charged ₩5,000, which means preschoolers up to age 5 (Korean age 6) eat completely free~!!! Boriook is already a place where adults eat their fill from the all-you-can-eat barley rice buffet, so with kids under 6 eating free, bringing the kids along basically means you're paying for two adults' worth of food. ## What side dishes are on Boriook's self-serve bar? An unmissable appeal of this Mangpo Station family restaurant is the buffet-style self-serve bar packed with a variety of side dishes. ![Boriook's all-you-can-eat self-serve banchan bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-03-1jbey-900.webp) ![Buffet-style self-serve bar at Boriook lined with banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-04-ok18y-900.webp) This unlimited self-serve bar is truly one of Boriook's biggest draws. There are just so many kinds of banchan that I overeat every single time I come. ![A variety of banchan corners at Boriook's self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-05-e4kxz-900.webp) Beyond various kimchis and namul (seasoned vegetable side dishes) like yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi), geotjeori (fresh cabbage kimchi), wrap vegetables, and mu-saengchae (spicy radish salad)... ![Yeolmu kimchi, geotjeori and wrap vegetables among other kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-06-xww6e-900.webp) there's a huge spread of namul dishes that older folks especially love~~ So this is definitely a restaurant your parents will enjoy if you bring them along~! Even parents who avoid eating out because they dislike food that's "too salty, too sweet, too greasy" will be satisfied at Boriook. ![Namul side dishes at Boriook's self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-07-121uo-900.webp) ![Namul dishes laid out at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-08-mo3fz-900.webp) I especially love the tempura that comes fresh out of the fryer here. The lineup changes each time, but sweet potato tempura, lotus root tempura, and mushroom tempura are all delicious~~ ![Freshly fried sweet potato and mushroom tempura](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-09-1vefr-900.webp) This time there was also braised tofu on the bar~ It has a subtle spicy kick that's excellent. I've only ever visited during the day before, so I hadn't seen this dish — not sure if it's new or only served at dinner. ![Spicy braised tofu side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-10-evb88-900.webp) ![Overview of Boriook's self-serve banchan bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-11-ablxo-900.webp) ## Can a family of four really eat for under 30,000 won? > Even with kids in tow, a family of four ate for under ₩30,000. ![Table set for a family of four at Boriook](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-12-1na55-900.webp) We ordered one barley rice set (₩13,000) and one barley rice soy sauce pork set (₩16,000) to match our two adults — and I recommend the soy sauce pork set!! The kids ate it up so well~! ### What our family of four ordered at Boriook in Mangpo - Barley rice set (₩13,000) - Soy sauce pork set (₩16,000) - 2 preschoolers under 6: free! ![Barley rice set and soy sauce pork set served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-13-10svc-966.webp) Delicious food scooped from the all-you-can-eat self-serve bar, along with ![Plate of banchan scooped from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-14-jyytg-900.webp) the thick cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew) that comes with the barley rice!!! It's so tasty I always scrape the bowl clean. ![Thick cheonggukjang served with barley rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-15-2v43l-900.webp) Mix it all together with some gochujang (Korean red chili paste) and sesame oil and it's heaven!!! There's just so much to eat at Boriook that I always overeat every time I come~!! ![Barley rice mixed with gochujang and sesame oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-16-19mg0-m-900.webp) They also have baby plates and utensils ready to go, so I'd definitely recommend Boriook as a restaurant near Mangpo Station that's easy to visit with a child! ## Dessert at Boriook: plum tea and rice crackers > Finish off with plum tea and rice crackers and your belly's nice and full~! ![Dessert of plum tea and rice crackers](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-17-1a6dn-900.webp) We wrapped up a satisfying meal at Boriook with plum tea and rice crackers for dessert. ![Dessert corner at Boriook](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-18-cr0kk-m-900.webp) ![Table at Boriook after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free-19-y27wr-m-900.webp) In these high-inflation times, Boriook near Mangpo Station lets a family of four eat for under ₩30,000!! I'd also recommend Boriook, the all-you-can-eat barley rice buffet near Mangpo Station, as a spot for a Chuseok family meal~! ## Where it is - Boriook Main Branch (보리옥 본점) - 99 Yeongtong-ro 200beon-gil, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st floor - 경기도 수원시 영통구 영통로200번길 99 1층 - 37.2441834, 127.0620458 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B3%B4%EB%A6%AC%EC%98%A5%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.2441834,127.0620458,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@lip-balm-pocket/boriok-mangpo-family-meal-kids-free/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
