Beef tartare and 2nd-floor loft seating in Dongtan: Jusangnakwon

In short

Jusangnakwon is a Korean-style bar and restaurant near Dongtan Bukgwangjang (North Square) in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi. The writer ordered beef tartare (₩23,900) and crispy shrimp minari pancake (₩16,900), finding the beef silky with no gamey smell and the pancake crisp-edged like a chip. With a high-ceilinged first floor and a loft-style second floor seating around 20, it works equally well for a date or a group gathering.

The high-ceilinged 1st and 2nd floor spaces

High-ceilinged first floor interior of Jusangnakwon

Walking inside, the high ceiling gives the whole place an open, airy feel with zero stuffiness. Soft, cozy lighting mixed with an emotive interior made it a perfect setting for drinks.

Softly lit table seating area of the bar

The first floor has an atmospheric open kitchen you can see, while the second floor is a cozy loft-like structure that fits small gatherings or work dinners of around 20 people — it looked perfect both for a Dongtan date and for group get-togethers, haha.

Loft-like second-floor group seating

Every table has a tablet installed, so you can order at your own pace while browsing menu photos and prices — really convenient!

They run all kinds of events too, so definitely check them out, haha.

Jusangnakwon also sells a wide range of traditional Korean liquors!

What we ordered and the starter snack

  • Beef tartare (한우육회 타르타르): ₩23,900
  • Crispy shrimp minari pancake (바삭새우미나리전): ₩16,900

As soon as we sat down, a crunchy dried shrimp chip snack was set out as a starter side — savory and crispy, perfect for nibbling before the main dishes arrived.

The honest taste review!

Finally, the beef tartare arrived looking gorgeous from the very first glance! Fresh Korean beef tartare mixed properly with a luxurious seasoning and nutty flavor.

One bite in and there's absolutely zero gamey smell — it melts away with a chewy, tender texture. The beef itself is genuinely artful!

The seasoning wasn't overly sweet or sharp, just enough to bring up the umami — it honestly felt like eating a fine-dining dish, hahaha.

Next up, the light yet crispy shrimp and minari (water celery) pancake, perfect for picking up piece by piece!

Shrimp pancake generously filled with minari

They packed in a generous amount of minari, and the moment it arrived, a rich, fragrant minari aroma hit right away, ㅠㅠ.

The edges were as crispy as a chip while the inside stayed light with plump, springy shrimp — the texture combo was insane, ㅠㅠ! Not greasy or heavy at all, just clean, so it was completely fine as a drinking snack.

Final thoughts — if you're deciding where to go near Dongtan Bukgwangjang

Unlike typical neighborhood bars, every single side dish here is at the level of a real 'dish,' making it a perfect Dongtan Bukgwangjang spot to enjoy a meal and drinks at once! Thanks to the open, high-ceilinged atmosphere and refined Korean menu, I'd strongly recommend it both as a Dongtan date course and as a venue for work dinners or small gatherings. If you're not sure where to go near Bukgwangjang, definitely stop by Jusangnakwon, haha.
