The dining room on a late Sunday evening, and how it works with a baby

Inside Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk Gamjatang Yulha Branch! The space is spacious with plenty of room between tables, making for a comfortable meal. Even though we came on a Sunday evening, the place was packed with customers!

It's tough finding a restaurant that's easy with babies, but this place had baby chairs and even aprons ready to go, so we could eat freely without worrying.

What we ordered: the large gamjatang set for two, 40,000 won

Since there were two of us, we ordered the large gamjatang set for two (₩40,000).

Banchan and the free salad bar add-ins

A serving robot soon brought out the basic side dishes.

Since it's gamjatang, they pair it with garlic sauce, ssamjang, kimchi, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), onion, and chili peppers!

If you need more, the salad bar is free to use as much as you like — glass noodles, ramyeon noodles, sujebi (hand-torn dough flakes), potato, and more, all for free!

When you're eating gamjatang, you often want to add extra ingredients, but between the cost and getting too full, it can feel like a lot — so having free add-ins at the salad bar where you can take just as much as you want is perfect. Good to know beforehand!

Inside the set for two: pyeonyuk, seasoned raw crab and gamjatang

And here it is — the large gamjatang set for two!

This set comes with boiled pork slices and seasoned marinated crab alongside the main dish, gamjatang! First bite of the pork — it's topped generously with garlic and chili seasoning, making it look even more appetizing. Not greasy at all, just clean flavor!

The marinated crab isn't too spicy, just pleasantly mild, and it's addictive — I almost finished a whole bowl of rice with just the crab!

Coming here for gamjatang and getting to try boiled pork and marinated crab on top — the value really is great.

How does the gamjatang at Ppyeodae Itneun taste?

Now for today's main star — the gamjatang! The meat comes fully cooked from the kitchen so it's ready to eat right away, but they boiled it once more at the table. The meat was tender with no pork gaminess at all — just clean flavor!

The meat came off the bone easily, so it was simple to pick apart, and dipping each bite lightly in the broth, I ended up polishing off a bone before I even realized it! It wasn't spicy or overpowering, so it seemed like something everyone — young or old — could enjoy without hesitation. Dipping it lightly in the garlic sauce made it even cleaner-tasting and more savory, which kept me reaching for more.

Pot rice, sujebi add-ins and a sungnyung finish

Instead of the usual bowl of rice, Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk Gamjatang Yulha Branch also offers rice cooked in a stone pot, so I ordered that — piping hot freshly cooked rice topped with meat was excellent!

I loaded up generously on the sujebi add-ins from the salad bar too, and ate until I was full and satisfied. After finishing the rice pot, they finish it with sungnyung (scorched rice tea), which left me completely stuffed!

With unlimited refill dessert slushies on top of everything, this made for a perfect spot for a meal out.
