I went to IKEA Busan with a close friend of mine. Honestly, I need to go every season and shop, eat, and play around all day just to blow off some steam! Before IKEA shopping I wanted a solid home-style meal, so I stopped by this famous tteokgalbi (grilled beef patty) spot in Gijang — let me introduce you to Dongam Tteokgalbi! ## Where is Dongam Tteokgalbi, and what are its hours and parking? Dongam Tteokgalbi is at 160 Gijanghaean-ro, 3rd floor, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan. Hours are Mon–Fri 11:00–21:00 (break time 15:00–16:30), and Sat–Sun 11:00–21:00 with no break. They offer group seating, reservations, Wi-Fi, separate men's/women's restrooms, a waiting area, takeout, kids' chairs, and parking. Dongam Tteokgalbi is a hot lunch spot in Gijang! The parking lot is spacious too, so we parked with plenty of room and headed up to the 3rd floor — gogo. The waiting area was spacious and pleasant! As soon as we walked in, the AC was blasting — so refreshing haha. Even though we basically ran there for opening, there were already quite a lot of customers! A famous restaurant really is different — bustling even at lunchtime. The window seats have a view of Lotte Mall and feel open, so it seems like a nice spot to eat while looking outside! ![Window seat at Dongam Tteokgalbi with a view of Lotte Mall](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-ikea-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-ikea-lunch-02-1ao4d-900.webp) ![Busy dining room at Dongam Tteokgalbi during lunchtime](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-ikea-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-ikea-lunch-03-t2c7e-900.webp) ## What's on the menu at Dongam Tteokgalbi? Dongam Tteokgalbi is a tteokgalbi set-meal specialist that fills the table and completes a full meal — the set includes meat, rice, side dishes, sauce, and vegetables for a balanced spread. You can choose your tteokgalbi type — hanwoo tteokgalbi, cream cheongyang tteokgalbi, cheese tteokgalbi, or Dongam tteokgalbi — and it comes filled out with 15 side dishes, wrap vegetables, seasonal namul, kimchi, seaweed soup, and seafood doenjang stew. All the tteokgalbi is made with 100% beef, aged for at least a day in a special soy-sauce-based marinade, then grilled carefully over charcoal, they say. Each type of meat, fire-grilled and grease-trimmed, comes topped with its own sauce. ![Menu guide for the Dongam Tteokgalbi set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-ikea-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-ikea-lunch-04-djq24-908.webp) ![Menu board showing the different types of tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-ikea-lunch/dongam-tteokgalbi-gijang-ikea-lunch-05-1sswi-496.webp) ### Hanwoo tteokgalbi 22,000 won vs Dongam tteokgalbi 15,000 won We each ordered one — the hanwoo tteokgalbi and the Dongam tteokgalbi. One dish per person, order complete! - Hanwoo tteokgalbi ₩22,000 — a premium tteokgalbi made with 100% domestic Korean beef.
