Booking on CatchTable on a Sunday morning showed 16 teams ahead and a 1-hour wait, but arriving on time meant only a 5-minute wait before being seated for the 15,000 won omakase set with three types of sundae and clear sundae-guk (blood sausage soup). Handmade sundae, a clear rich broth and odor-free head meat made this a satisfying hangover-cure visit. ## Good to know - **Clear/spicy sundae-guk**: ₩10,000 (large +₩2,000) - **Omakase set**: ₩15,000 (3 types of handmade sundae, 6 pieces + 3 slices of boiled pork + bean sprouts) - **Hours**: 10:00 AM–3:00 PM, last order 2:30 PM - **Closed**: Every Thursday - **Reservations**: CatchTable, bookable from 9:30 AM / on-site number tickets also available - **Parking**: About 6 spots right next to the restaurant - **Free extras**: Self-serve offal bar and rice refills free when ordering per headcount - **Kids**: High chairs available *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![A full spread of sundae-guk at Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-01-shrx8-900.webp) Paldam Sundae has become famous in Gimpo for its sundae omakase! It was already popular before, but I heard there's now waiting too, so I booked on CatchTable the moment I woke up and headed over — and yes, the Gimpo sundae-guk (blood sausage soup) was delicious as always. ## Sunday morning CatchTable booking — how long is the wait? We went on a Sunday morning, and being the weekend, there were quite a lot of people. Business hours start at 10 AM, but you can book on the app from 9:30 AM. We booked a little after 10, and there were about 16 teams ahead with a 1-hour wait. Since we booked from home and got ready and left in time, we could eat right away — nice. Paldam Sundae's Gimpo location looks clean from the outside, and there's a parking lot right next door, fitting about 6 cars. ![Exterior of Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch with the parking lot next door](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-02-1cbpk-900.webp) There was also a separate waiting area out front. Guests who couldn't book through CatchTable can get a number ticket on-site. We arrived on time and only waited about 5 minutes out front before getting seated. ![Waiting area and number ticket sign in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-03-1jun9-900.webp) For waiting guests, they even offer coffee and cool plum tea in the hallway near the restroom — a very kind restaurant. ![Coffee and plum tea set out in the hallway](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-04-1tqal-900.webp) ## Business hours and the handmade sundae patent Hours run from 10 AM to 3 PM, with last order at 2:30 PM! They only do morning-to-afternoon business, and are closed every Thursday! ![Sign showing business hours and Thursday closure](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-05-v1urz-900.webp) Since they make sundae by hand here, you get to taste something extra special. ![Notice about the handmade sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-06-1wio8-900.webp) There's even a patent certificate on display!! ![Patent certificate related to the sundae displayed in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-07-17lro-900.webp) ## Interior vibe and menu prices The interior feels cozy yet clean. Still, there are plenty of tables, so it was quite full. There were high chairs too, so it's a perfectly fine place to bring a baby along. If you write a Naver receipt review, they say you get a lottery ticket worth a 500 million won jackpot! - Clear sundae-guk / spicy sundae-guk ₩10,000, large +₩2,000 - Omakase set ₩15,000 — 3 types of handmade sundae, 6 pieces total + 3 slices of boiled pork, with bean sprouts Think of it simply as: add just 5,000 won to the basic soup and you get sundae and head meat as sides. ![Menu board showing sundae-guk and omakase set](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-08-af87j-900.webp) If you order per headcount, you can get free refills from the self-serve offal bar and rice. ![Free self-serve offal bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-09-16dzt-900.webp) Side dishes were diced radish kimchi and napa cabbage kimchi. The refreshingly cool radish kimchi was a standout. ![Basic side dishes of diced radish kimchi and napa cabbage kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-10-17qi5-1200.webp) ## How do the 3 sundae omakase types taste? And soon the sundae omakase arrived!! You get to try 3 types of handmade sundae — cheongyang chili pepper sundae, nut sundae, and blood sundae — so I'd recommend it for first-timers 🧡 ![Plate of the sundae omakase with 3 types of handmade sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-11-babn0-900.webp) The boiled pork inside was also nicely cooked. ![Three well-boiled slices of pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-12-11doy-900.webp) Since the sundae is handmade, the filling was packed full, and it was interesting how the flavor changed depending on each ingredient. ![Cross-section of a handmade sundae packed full of filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-13-1frlw-900.webp) The boiled pork was completely tender too. Even though it's head meat, there was almost no gamy smell. ![A tender piece of boiled head meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-14-137a8-900.webp) The sundae filling has a thick, rich flavor upfront, and each ingredient's distinct taste comes through, pairing really well with the sundae. Among them, the nut sundae !!! It's totally nutty, a flavor I'd never tasted before in sundae — mild yet delicious. ![Nutty nut sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-15-13c6e-900.webp) ## Clear sundae-guk vs. spicy sundae-guk While enjoying the sundae and head meat, they bring out the bubbling hot sundae-guk. I ordered the clear version since I was eating with my baby, but people around us were mostly eating the spicy version. I've tried the spicy sundae-guk before, and if you like bold, spicy-hot flavors, I'd definitely recommend it! It's a different taste than just mixing chili paste into the regular soup, so if you handle spice well, go for the spicy sundae-guk. ![Clear sundae-guk bubbling hot](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-16-8xmi1-900.webp) ![Milky white sundae-guk packed with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-17-1hh0a-900.webp) The soup was really milky white with a visibly generous amount of ingredients. Lots of handmade sundae in there too. ![Handmade sundae pieces inside the sundae-guk](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-18-1r5ye-900.webp) They also give a generous amount of head meat, and it was really tender and so delicious ㅠㅠ There's no gamy smell at all, which is such a nice touch... For the head meat, you can choose lean meat only, or lean meat with fat, so if you can't handle fat, you can just pick lean meat only! But I love fat, so I chose the one with fat. The fat was chewy and springy, and the lean meat shredded apart tenderly, so soft. ![Head meat with fat pulled out of the soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-19-1g0no-900.webp) The broth was completely clear and rich, and it's already seasoned, so I'd recommend tasting it first before adjusting the seasoning to your liking. My baby seemed to really like the taste of the broth too. ![Clear, rich sundae-guk broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-20-mq0gw-900.webp) ![A bowl of sundae-guk with rice added](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-21-opz7z-900.webp) I went to cure my hangover and barely resisted ordering soju..... ![A hangover-cure spread of sundae-guk](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-22-1hkww-900.webp) ### Self-serve offal bar This is the lung and pork liver I grabbed from the self-serve offal bar~~ They keep it hot continuously, so you can eat it deliciously as if it just came out fresh. ![Lung and pork liver taken from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-23-p8ix4-900.webp) Wow, such a hearty spread~ ![A hearty spread of sundae omakase and sundae-guk](https://img.superchart.com/images/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation-24-bro5e-900.webp) Paldam Sundae, a Gimpo sundae-guk go-to with a rich broth and special handmade sundae. The prices are kind and you can feel the owner's care in the soup, the kind of flavor that deserves applause!! Please don't get any more famous so I can keep eating this sundae-guk for the rest of my life,, ## Where it is - Paldam Sundae Gimpo Main Branch (팔담순대 김포본점) - 5 Ungok-ro, 1st floor, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 김포시 운곡로 5 1층 - 37.6505825, 126.6586065 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8C%94%EB%8B%B4%EC%88%9C%EB%8C%80%20%EA%B9%80%ED%8F%AC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.6505825,126.6586065,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@midday-gyeonggi/palddam-sundae-omakase-kimpo-reservation/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
