Gongneung meat buffet for company dinners, ₩3,000 soju: Eongteori

Looking for a great-value meat restaurant in Gongneung?! Here's my recommendation — and the drinks are cheap too!

This is Eongteori Muhandae Pae Gongneung Branch, and I was honestly amazed that a place offering this quality of meat and side dishes exists at this price. Plus the alcohol is genuinely cheap, so I think it's a perfect spot for company dinners or gatherings with friends. Let me introduce this hidden gem of a meat restaurant in detail!

Where is Eongteori Muhandae Pae Gongneung Branch, and is there parking?

Eongteori Muhandae Pae Gongneung Branch is about 425m, a 5-minute walk, from Exit 1 of Gongneung Station. The address is 2F, 83 Dongil-ro 192-gil, Nowon-gu, Seoul, and it's open from 3:00 PM to 3:00 AM the next day.

The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, so if you look up at the building you'll spot an eye-catching green sign.

As for parking, the building doesn't seem to have its own dedicated lot, so you'll need to use street parking nearby or a nearby parking lot. Since it's near Gongneung Station, public transit is much more convenient!

Amenities include group seating, reservations, Wi-Fi, and separate men's/women's restrooms.

Inside Eongteori Muhandae Pae: a wide hall built for company dinners

I was genuinely surprised at how spacious the inside of Eongteori Muhandae Pae Gongneung Branch was! The distance between tables is generous, so it never feels cramped, and it's a really great space for group gatherings or company dinners. Worried that a meat buffet place might be messy? Absolutely not! The restaurant was managed really cleanly. The modern interior with green accents, clean tables, and a tidy self-serve bar all made me hungrier. The warm lighting also gives it a great atmosphere.

One wall is covered with photos of the various dishes, which is handy to reference when ordering!

Menu and prices: ₩17,900 all-you-can-eat pork, 120-minute limit

The menu is really varied! The main all-you-can-eat pork course is ₩17,900, but here's the important info: your time in the restaurant is limited to 120 minutes. If you go over, it's ₩5,900 per person per extra hour, so keep that in mind! There's also an environmental fee charged if you leave food, which is meant to cut down on food waste — just take smaller portions more often. The staff never gives you a hard time about it!

There are so many types of meat. The meat selection also apparently rotates regularly, so it seems like it'd be fun to visit often.

Soju is ₩5,900, and soju/beer are from ₩3,000 — genuinely cheap. There are also plenty of soft drink options, so even non-drinkers can enjoy themselves!

How the self-serve bar works and how the thin-sliced pork tastes

At Eongteori Muhandae Pae Gongneung Branch, you order at the table but grab the food freely from the self-serve bar. Everything from side dishes to wrapping greens, sauces, ramyeon, and fried rice is at the self-serve bar.

Side dishes like gosari (bracken fern) and ssammu (pickled radish) are really tasty and fresh too.

There's a wide variety of sauces too, so you can pick according to your own taste.

The vegetable section is stocked with wrapping greens like perilla leaves, scallions, and garlic.

And unlimited ramyeon in broth and fried rice at this price — that really is a bang-for-your-buck restaurant!

On the day I visited, I piled a tray high with meat and grilled it right away on the griddle — the thin-sliced pork cooks really quickly. The meat sizzling gently on the griddle looked beautiful. The color of the meat was really good too.

Piling the meat generously onto a perilla leaf with ssammu makes it taste amazing without any greasiness at all. The gosari is also delicious lightly dipped in sesame oil salt sauce and grilled!

Sides to order: doenjang sulbap and mul naengmyeon

I also ordered the doenjang sulbap (soybean paste rice) as a side, and for ₩6,000 the portion was really generous. It was packed with meat and chopped enoki mushrooms — you could tell they put real care into it.

The mul naengmyeon (cold noodle soup) also comes in a huge portion, and here's a tip: mixing in the bibim naengmyeon sauce gives it a flavor that resets your palate from the meat! With so many types of alcohol and drinks, this is a meat restaurant where even drinking buddies won't have any worries.

By the way, I really recommend the sparkling grapefruit ade. Just remember drinks have to be ordered per can at the table order kiosk!

Verdict: is Eongteori Muhandae Pae worth it for a Gongneung company dinner?

They give you ice cream for writing a review, and on top of already-low prices, soju and beer are ₩3,000, fried rice is free, and ramyeon is free — it's such good value I worried if they're even making money. The vegetables and side dishes are all fresh and good, so I strongly recommend giving it a try. As a Gongneung go-to spot, Eongteori Muhandae Pae Gongneung Branch is truly a hidden gem. Whether it's a company dinner with friends, a family gathering, or eating alone, it's a place with really high satisfaction — be sure to stop by!
