I ordered dwaeji gukbap, lean-meat gukbap, and a tasting portion of sundae; the rich broth, odor-free meat, and refreshing kkakdugi stood out. ## Good to know - **Address**: 897 Cheonju-ro, Buk-myeon, Uichang-gu, Changwon, Gyeongnam, South Korea (경남 창원시 의창구 북면 천주로 897 명인돼지국밥) - **Gukbap price**: ₩10,000 each for dwaeji gukbap and lean-meat gukbap at the time of writing - **Tasting menu price**: The original post lists tasting sundae suyuk at ₩13,000 - **Parking**: Dedicated parking lot available - **Seating**: Partitions installed at each table - **Self-service bar**: Extra kimchi, peppers, somyeon noodles, and more available - **Meal duration**: About 30–40 minutes, according to the original post - **Facilities**: Takeout, Wi-Fi, and separate restrooms for men and women *as written by the visitor on Sep 4, 2026* Wanting a rich bowl of gukbap, I had lunch at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap near Bukmyeon Hot Springs in Changwon.

The restaurant is at 897 Cheonju-ro, Buk-myeon, Uichang-gu, Changwon. Parking can be difficult around here at weekend lunchtime, so I liked that it had a spacious dedicated lot. The interior was more spacious than I expected, and the partitions at each table made it comfortable to talk while eating. The owner was kind, too. ![Spacious dining area at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-04-xfwm0-966.webp) ![Partitioned seating at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-05-r5fij-966.webp) Even though I went at a late lunch hour, several tables were still eating. At the self-service bar, I could bring back as much kimchi, peppers, somyeon noodles, and more as I wanted. ## What did I order, and how much was it? I debated between sundae gukbap and dwaeji gukbap, then ordered one dwaeji gukbap, one lean-meat gukbap, and a tasting portion of sundae. ![Menu information for ordering gukbap and sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-06-bo4nc-966.webp) At the time of my visit, the dwaeji gukbap and lean-meat gukbap were ₩10,000 each. The original post lists the tasting menu as “tasting sundae suyuk” for ₩13,000. For me, it did not feel like a burdensome price to have sundae alongside the gukbap. ![Lunch menu ordered at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-07-12ihp-966.webp) ## How were the broth and meat in the dwaeji gukbap and lean-meat gukbap? After a short wait, the food arrived. The broth caught my eye first: it was milky like seolleongtang broth, and it tasted rich as well. ![Milky Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap broth like seolleongtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-08-nbghp-966.webp) Rather than broth already seasoned with salt or dadaegi seasoning, I prefer tasting the broth on its own first and then adding just a little saeujeot (salted shrimp). The broth here suited my taste well. ![Milky-broth gukbap with salted shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-09-euuat-966.webp) Even without adding anything, the broth tasted rich. There was plenty of meat, and it was tasty even with only saeujeot added. ![Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap with plenty of meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-10-15elw-966.webp) ![Meat in gukbap at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-11-m9pyj-966.webp) Both the dwaeji gukbap and lean-meat gukbap had plenty of meat, and I did not notice any unpleasant pork smell. Depending on your preference, you can add dadaegi or seasoned chives and mix in the rice. ![Dwaeji gukbap with rice and seasonings](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-12-np4jw-966.webp) ## How was the tasting sundae with the gukbap? The tasting sundae came as warm meat sundae with steam rising from it. It was a good side for me because I wanted both gukbap and sundae. ![Warm tasting sundae at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-13-mil68-966.webp) ![Tasting meat sundae ordered with gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-14-1fnsi-966.webp) The sundae was tasty even dipped only in salt. I put a few pieces into the gukbap to eat with the broth, and also ate it with doenjang or wrapped in ssam. ![Tasting sundae with salt and doenjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-15-16ei1-966.webp) ## Which side dish stood out? The side dishes were neatly served and tasted freshly made to me. I prefer this flavor to aged kimchi, so they suited me well. The kkakdugi was especially refreshing and tasty, so I brought back more from the self-service bar. Gangdoenjang was served as well. ![Side dishes served with lunch at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-16-770x1-966.webp) ![Neat side-dish spread with gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-17-tjm2w-966.webp) ![Side dishes eaten with gukbap at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-18-dxqxp-966.webp) ![Lunch side dishes at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap in Bukmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-19-tq2av-966.webp) ![Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap side dishes with a gukbap meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-20-13udq-966.webp) ![Lunch table setting at Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-21-i6169-966.webp) I liked the rich broth and meat, but the kkakdugi stayed with me even after the meal. It was a place I would like to stop by for lunch again when I go to Bukmyeon for a bath. ![Gukbap lunch near Bukmyeon Hot Springs](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-22-1l0vn-966.webp) During my visit, I received a drink for participating in a review event. Iced coffee was also available for dessert. ![Drinks and dessert after Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-23-1rp1j-966.webp) ![Drinks and dessert during the Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-24-1v0b8-966.webp) ## Where it is - Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap (명인돼지국밥) (명인돼지국밥) - 897 Cheonju-ro, Buk-myeon, Uichang-gu, Changwon, Gyeongnam, South Korea (경상남도 창원시 의창구 북면 천주로 897 명인돼지국밥) - 경상남도 창원시 의창구 북면 천주로 897 명인돼지국밥 - 35.3332295, 128.5990136 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AA%85%EC%9D%B8%EB%8F%BC%EC%A7%80%EA%B5%AD%EB%B0%A5/@35.3332295,128.5990136,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@open-menu-3/myeongin-dwaejigukbap-bukmyeon-lunch-c1ee/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
