## In short

Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch is a Korean restaurant on Saesulmak-gil in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi. I had dolsot albap and Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap sets with my parents for a weekend lunch, and we liked the mild flavors and kind service, though drinks took a little time.

I went to Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch (비비삼 과천본점) with my parents for a mild Korean meal over the weekend. It specializes in torim bibimbap, with rice warmed in broth, and uses Korean beef, Korean pork, and domestically grown rice. When we visited at 2 p.m. on Saturday, we got in without waiting, though customers continued to arrive while we ate.

## Where can I park if I drive?

The restaurant has no dedicated parking, so I used the public parking lot behind it. The location attached to the original post is the public street parking lot behind the fire station at 129 Jungang-ro, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do. At the time of my visit, it cost ₩900 for the first 30 minutes and ₩400 for every additional 10 minutes. After lunch and picking up a drink at a nearby café, I paid ₩2,500 for parking.

## How were the seating and atmosphere for a meal with parents?

The interior was neat when I visited, with a comfortable atmosphere for eating rather than an elaborate one.

With mostly four-person tables, it looked comfortable for two or four people dining together. One side has full-height windows, so it did not feel cramped, and I thought it would feel easy enough to come alone for a meal.

The self-service bar had aprons, small plates, sesame oil, water, and broth. I could take what I needed, and I liked the broth enough to get two more servings.

## What did we order and how much did it cost?

We ordered through the kiosk at the table. The menu included Hwangdeung-style torim Korean beef yukhoe, bulgogi, and octopus bibimbap, as well as dolsot albap (hot-stone-pot fish roe rice). There were also Korean beef and Korean pork tteokgalbi (grilled minced-meat patties) on an iron plate, Namdo cockle salad, and Korean beef yukhoe. I found the set meals with tteokgalbi filling and reasonably priced.

At the time of my visit, there was also an event where you could order Namdo cockle salad for ₩500 by leaving a Naver review with photos. The regular price for the cockle salad stated in the original post was ₩6,000.

## How were the portion sizes and flavors of the sets?

The drinks took a little time to arrive. While waiting, I had baek kimchi (white kimchi) and broth, and I especially liked the broth enough to get several servings.

### How did I eat the Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap?

Since it was a set with Korean beef tteokgalbi, the portion was generous. The bibimbap came with toppings over rice that had been warmed in broth. The yukhoe was served in a separate bowl, and I was told to add it to the rice a little at a time.

I mixed the rice with chopsticks rather than a spoon. The yukhoe itself was seasoned, while the bibimbap was lightly seasoned and tasted mild. It also had a sweet-and-tangy note, making it easy to eat.

### How were the dolsot albap and Korean beef tteokgalbi?

The dolsot albap came in a sizzling stone pot with generous toppings. The roe popped with each bite. After eating about half, I added sesame oil from the self-service bar, which I preferred for the extra nutty flavor.

Ordering tteokgalbi alongside it made the meal more filling. The fried egg that came with it caught my eye because its yolk held a distinct shape.

## Would I return with my parents?

My parents were pleased with the food and the kind service. I also had a satisfying meal of mild bibimbap with tteokgalbi. There was no dedicated parking and we waited a little for drinks, but I would like to return when I want a mild Korean family lunch.
