We shared Jindo green onion bulgogi, abalone tteokgalbi, and abalone soy-marinated shrimp sets, from appetizers through rice, soup, and plum tea. Verdict: a polished, filling choice when you are hosting. ## Good to know - **Address**: 10 Saemunan-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, Deoksugung D Palace B1, Units B102 and B103 - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 - **Break time**: Weekdays 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 20:10 - **Parking**: Up to 2 hours at D Palace B3; when full, use Concordian Building (no support before 18:00 on weekdays). - **Reservations**: Naver reservations available; private rooms can be reserved from 4 people. *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* I have been seeing friends so often lately that I have wedding invitation gatherings about three times a week.

I was the one hosting, and I was very happy with the upscale atmosphere. There were others visiting for gatherings like ours, but since the main menu is Korean set meals, there were also many families. ![Menu at Modam Dining Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-04-2r8id-900.webp) *Menu at Modam Dining Gwanghwamun* ## What we ordered from the Modam set table We decided on the Modam set table and each ordered the dish we wanted. - Jindo green onion and crispy bulgogi set - Abalone tteokgalbi set - Abalone soy-marinated shrimp and butter rice set ![Set-meal dishes ordered from the Modam set table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-05-6r8sp-900.webp) First came three appetizers: Cheongyang pepper water kimchi, a salad with yuzu dressing, and mustard vegetables with pine-nut sauce. Everything tasted clean and fresh. ![Cheongyang pepper water kimchi and salad appetizer](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-06-m389o-900.webp) ![Salad appetizer with yuzu dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-07-php80-900.webp) ![Mustard vegetable appetizer with pine-nut sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-08-1gmcn-900.webp) ![Three Korean set-meal appetizers](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-09-1gpj9-900.webp) The seasonal porridge was mung bean porridge, with a lovely nutty flavor. It was ground a little coarsely, so it had some texture too, which I liked. ![A bowl of nutty mung bean porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-10-syjgz-900.webp) ![Coarsely ground mung bean porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-11-4spti-900.webp) Perilla oil capellini. Since it was cold pasta, I mixed it well and had it with sweet shrimp—it was so nutty and delicious. ![Perilla oil capellini with sweet shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-12-i9ame-900.webp) We also had the flounder sashimi ceviche. It is not technically a course, but even when you order a set meal, the dishes come out like a course, so it was really nice to chat and eat them one by one. They adjusted the pacing of the food, so we could enjoy each dish warm, which was great. ![A plate of flounder sashimi ceviche](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-13-1n66v-900.webp) Today’s dish was shiitake mushroom tangsuyuk (sweet-and-sour fried mushrooms). It was nutty and crisp, with a lightly sweet sauce—delicious. Even though it was tossed in sauce, it was not soggy at all and stayed crispy. So good! ![Shiitake mushroom tangsuyuk with lightly sweet sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-14-1gar7-1200.webp) ## A table filled from mains through rice Once all the final main dishes arrived, the table was completely full. ![A full table of set-meal main dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-15-1u8lq-900.webp) ![Abalone and tteokgalbi main dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-16-10qrw-900.webp) ![Jindo green onion crispy bulgogi and abalone soy-marinated shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-17-twq6n-900.webp) Abalone and tteokgalbi, Jindo green onions and crispy bulgogi, and abalone soy-marinated shrimp. We had already been served salads and side dishes, but look at how generous the main portions were too! ![Set-meal main dishes and accompanying dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-18-zmhd1-900.webp) Since the rice was about to come out, four more banchan (Korean side dishes) arrived as well. ![Four banchan added to the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-19-1cgco-900.webp) And then black rice and beef radish soup. ![Black rice and beef radish soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-20-1pdx6-900.webp) ![Rice and soup with a Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining-21-im1sq-900.webp) The tteokgalbi was moist inside and tender to eat. The crispy bulgogi was thoroughly infused with seasoning, so it paired beautifully with rice. The soy-marinated shrimp was not too salty either, making it just right with rice. Honestly, there was so much food, but we ate almost all of it haha. ## My thoughts after visiting for a wedding invitation gathering What is really great about Modam Dining Gwanghwamun is that, beyond the mains, it has a complete Korean meal lineup with appetizers, side dishes, and sweet plum tea at the end—so I truly recommend it as a Gwanghwamun gathering spot! When you look for a Korean set-meal restaurant, it is often either an overly expensive course or the menu feels skimpy, right? But with Modam Dining Gwanghwamun, there is no need to worry about that. As the host, you want everyone to eat deliciously and leave full, and this is exactly what a great Korean set-meal restaurant should be: tasty and generous. I visited for a wedding invitation gathering, but it would also be lovely for a family gathering or a company dinner. You can reserve a private room for four or more people, so I highly recommend it as a Gwanghwamun Korean set-meal gathering spot! 🤍 ## Where it is - Modam Dining Gwanghwamun (모담다이닝 광화문점) - 10 Saemunan-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, Deoksugung D Palace B1, Units B102 and B103 - 서울특별시 종로구 새문안로2길 10 덕수궁디팰리스 지하 1층 B102호, B103호 - 37.5687024, 126.9720468 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AA%A8%EB%8B%B4%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%9D%20%EA%B4%91%ED%99%94%EB%AC%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5687024,126.9720468,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@meal-bookmark-2/gwanghwamun-bulgogi-jeongsik-modam-dining/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
