Bapkkot Hansang (밥꽃한상) A Sejong Lake Park restaurant

Bapkkot Hansang

Not long ago, while looking for a good restaurant near Sejong Lake Park, I found this “healthy Korean restaurant” and paid it a visit. Let me introduce Bapkkot Hansang, a great Sejong restaurant to stop by after visiting Sejong Lake Park with family.

Bapkkot Hansang location and what to know before visiting

✔️ Bapkkot Hansang is a great Sejong restaurant to bring your parents to. If you visit on the weekend, definitely make a reservation first. There were really a lot of families dining here at weekend lunch and dinner.

Even the empty tables were all reserved.

✔️ A place that serves a happy meal with healthy food. These days, there are not many places that properly make Korean food, and office workers do not tend to seek it out for lunch either, you know.

Bapkkot Hansang is a Sejong restaurant where you can enjoy proper Korean food made with healthy ingredients.

The sunshine was warm and the weather was so lovely, making it a great place to come after Sejong Lake Park.

Bapkkot Hansang's 3 best dishes

Herbal boiled pork rice bowl

Bapkkot Hansang's herbal boiled pork rice bowl near Sejong Lake Park: ₩15,000. It is topped with pork suyuk (boiled pork) cooked with herbal ingredients, lightly seasoned thick soybean paste, egg strips, and vegetables.

The pork was boiled cleanly, with all the fat rendered out, and the herbal ingredients meant there was no unpleasant smell. The pork suyuk was unbelievably tender too—I could see why this herbal boiled pork rice bowl is the signature dish! 😍

I thought strong gochujang or doenjang seasoning might overwhelm the dish. But the thick soybean paste made with mushrooms and potatoes was mild, with a little chili kick, so it made for a truly delicious lunch spread ❤️

Water parsley tteokgalbi rice bowl

Bapkkot Hansang's water parsley tteokgalbi rice bowl near Sejong Lake Park: ₩14,000. It comes with a whole handmade tteokgalbi patty. The tteokgalbi rice bowl comes in soy sauce and gochujang versions, so you can choose according to your taste; if a child will be eating it, choose the soy sauce flavor.

Tip. If your child cannot eat strongly scented vegetables such as water parsley, ask for it to be left out, or set some aside before mixing the bowl. They will eat it much better that way. This is not tteokgalbi pretending to be meat—it is handmade tteokgalbi packed with meat, so

it is one of Bapkkot Hansang's best dishes, perfect for people who like sweet meat dishes or for children.

Octopus shrimp rice bowl

Bapkkot Hansang's octopus shrimp rice bowl near Sejong Lake Park: ₩15,000. It is a rice bowl with plump shrimp and octopus, perfect to order when you are craving seafood rather than meat.

It is absolutely not the intensely spicy flavor you might expect from an octopus rice bowl!

It is mild, so you can eat it very healthily without irritating your stomach.

The shrimp and octopus were so plump—I almost mistook them for squid! They were blanched perfectly, not tough at all, and tender.
