Of the four, the basil margherita was the favourite. ## Good to know - **Location**: 37 Suwanro 106beon-gil, 1st floor, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–21:00 (last order 20:20) - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Parking**: Available in front of the building - **How to order**: Kiosk at every table - **Seating**: From tables for two up to tables for eight - **With children**: Kids' meal trays, kids' cutlery and unbreakable cups provided - **Ordered on this visit**: Sweet potato fries, carbonara, basil margherita, seafood tomato pasta *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ## Where is Bueokgan Suwan Branch, and what are its hours? Bueokgan Suwan Branch is a Western-style restaurant at 37 Suwanro 106beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea. It's open daily 11:30–21:00 (last order 20:20), with break time 15:00–17:00, and parking is available in front of the building. I had such a good meal at the Sangmu branch of Bueokgan that this time I checked out the Suwan branch! ![Exterior of Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-01-11cw9-900.webp) ## How the pink, glass-walled Suwan branch differs from Bueokgan Sangmu Since it's a chain, I went in thinking "the vibe inside will probably be similar~" but nope, haha. ![Interior atmosphere of Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-02-bsy9g-900.webp) ![Interior view of Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-03-1a8u4-m-900.webp) The atmosphere was so different from what I expected that it felt like a brand new place. Even though it's the same Bueokgan, it had a different vibe from the Sangmu branch, which was fun :) ![Pink-toned interior of Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-04-9sisg-900.webp) ![Cozy atmosphere inside Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-05-191b4-900.webp) The first thing that caught my eye walking in was how pink pink the interior was! Combined with a cozy feel, the overall mood was warm and comfortable. ![Seating by the floor-to-ceiling windows letting in light](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-06-ab5vx-900.webp) ![Window seats with daylight at Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-07-7orj3-900.webp) And the store has floor-to-ceiling windows, so photos come out really pretty haha. Even though I visited during the day, the light streaming in made it great for taking pictures 📸 There are also quite a lot of tables, so you probably don't need to worry too much about seating. ![Table seating at Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-08-8s0br-900.webp) ![Large table for group seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-09-xj3u3-900.webp) ### Seating and kiosk ordering at Bueokgan Suwan Branch Bueokgan Suwan Branch has everything from tables good for two up to an 8-person table, so it seemed good for a date as well as gatherings with friends or family meals out. There's a kiosk at every table too, which made ordering easy! ![Kiosk ordering screen on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-10-8alkn-900.webp) ## Eating with kids: children's meal trays and unbreakable cups They brought out trays and cutlery for kids too. The tray was light to use and a pretty pink color, which was so cute haha. They also gave us unbreakable cups, which made things easier for the kids to use. ## The four dishes ordered at Bueokgan Suwan Branch We ordered a pretty wide variety of dishes that day. - Sweet potato fries - Carbonara - Basil margherita - Seafood tomato pasta ### Basil margherita: better than the jambon pizza When I visited before, I enjoyed the jambon pizza, but this time I wanted to try something new so I ordered the basil margherita. For my taste, the basil margherita was way, way better than the jambon pizza haha. ![Basil margherita pizza at Bueokgan Suwan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-11-hxz0w-900.webp) The pizza itself wasn't too heavy — it had a fresh, faintly sweet taste, with basil aroma coming through now and then, so I kept reaching for another slice. If you like basil, you'll probably love this. Best of all, the kids ate it better than I expected. When looking for dishes to share with kids, I usually worry about ones that are too strongly flavored, but this one worked well for sharing — very satisfying! ![A slice removed from the basil margherita pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-12-12c3l-1200.webp) ### Sweet potato fries at Bueokgan Suwan Branch And the sweet potato fries! I was satisfied with this dish before too, so I picked it the moment I saw it on the menu haha. The sweet potato's sweetness makes it good to eat alongside the main dishes. Especially when visiting with kids, it seems like a good idea to order a side dish like this one. ![Sweet potato fries side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-13-1rxib-900.webp) ### Carbonara at Bueokgan Suwan Branch The carbonara was delicious as always. The thick, creamy sauce blended well with the pasta noodles, giving that "ah, this is the taste" feeling with the first bite haha. The sauce wasn't too runny and was just thick enough for my taste. ![Carbonara pasta with thick sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta-14-1os2e-900.webp) ### Seafood tomato pasta at Bueokgan Suwan Branch We also ordered the seafood tomato pasta, and I enjoyed this one a lot too. The tangy tomato flavor combined with the seafood for a really nice depth of flavor. And the shrimp inside was plumper than expected, not bland at all! ## Is Bueokgan Suwan Branch worth a family lunch in Gwangju? Overall, this was another satisfying meal. Honestly, because I had such a good memory of eating at the Sangmu branch, I assumed the Suwan branch would be similar, but once I got there the atmosphere was so different it felt like visiting a whole new place. The pink, cozy interior was especially pretty and great for photos, and I loved that they prepared kids' trays and cutlery too. The food overall was satisfying! Out of everything, the one I liked best this time was the basil margherita 🍕 If you're looking for good restaurants or brunch spots in the Suwan district, or want to eat pasta with kids in a nice-looking space, Bueokgan Suwan is worth a visit :) ## Where it is - Bueokgan Suwan Branch (부엌간 수완점) - 37 Suwanro 106beon-gil, 1st floor, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 광산구 수완로106번길 37 1층 - 35.1940376, 126.8322486 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EC%97%8C%EA%B0%84%20%EC%88%98%EC%99%84%EC%A0%90/@35.1940376,126.8322486,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mudeung-late-table/buekgan-suwan-pink-interior-family-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
