Useum Pangyo Branch (우슴 판교점) is a Korean gastropub specialising in hanwoo suyuk (boiled Korean beef) near Pangyo Station Exit 1 in Seongnam, Gyeonggi. After a workout and before a movie, the blogger had lunch at Useum Pangyo Branch: soy-braised short ribs (galbi-jjim) for ₩56,000 with udon noodles and a bowl of rice.
