*as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026*

Trying to figure out what to eat after work on a weeknight, I found myself craving Korean food with namul (seasoned vegetable) side dishes and barley rice, so I came to Boriook Main Branch! I heard you can help yourself to unlimited japchae, fritters, and all kinds of namul from a self-serve bar, not just barley rice, so I had to check it out haha.

We arrived a bit after 7pm on a weekday and the restaurant was relatively quiet, which made for a relaxed meal! Here's my review of Boriook Main Branch, a Korean restaurant in Mangpo, Suwon where you can eat a hearty Korean meal for cheap.

As you can see, there's parking space in front of the building. I'd guess it fits about 8 cars, but during busy times like lunch or weekends, spots might run out!

Now that we've parked, let's go inside!

Once you sit down at a table, there's a sign with ordering instructions, self-serve bar guidelines, the Naver receipt review event, and wifi info. It's nice that you don't need to call a staff member over — you can just order by reading the sign! We participated in the Naver receipt review event and got free nubiani (grilled beef) haha.

## Boriook's menu and what five of us ordered

The menu at Boriook Main Branch is simpler than I expected! There's the barley rice set for ₩13,000, mackerel set (half fish) for ₩15,000, grilled soy sauce pork set for ₩16,000, grilled gochujang pork set for ₩16,000, ₩5,000 for children ages 6-12, and the review event nubiani for free.

We came as a group of five! We ordered three mackerel sets, two grilled gochujang pork sets, and two event nubiani~~ Since there were five of us, we split into two tables, and each table participated in the review event, so we got two nubiani lol.

![Barley rice and soup bowl brought out right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-05-1lin4-966.webp)

As soon as we ordered, they brought out barley rice, soup bowls, and plates for bibimbap. My boyfriend grabbed the bibimbap plate and rushed straight to the self-serve bar, so it's not in the photo... haha. Now let's head to the self-serve bar inside the restaurant!

## What's on the self-serve bar, from barley and white rice to fritters

![Rice cookers with barley rice and white rice at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-06-i5i8q-966.webp)

The self-serve bar has both barley rice and white rice ready. Even after finishing your first serving, you can go back for as much as you want! If you're not a big fan of barley rice, making bibimbap with white rice would work well too.

![Namul side dish section at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-07-h53eq-966.webp)

![Radish salad and geotjeori among the self-serve bar side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-08-r7gqi-966.webp)

![Acorn jelly with dedicated soy sauce at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-09-94yxo-966.webp)

The variety of side dishes at the self-serve bar was really impressive. Radish salad, geotjeori (fresh cabbage kimchi), acorn jelly, sautéed oyster mushrooms, cabbage stem salad, young radish kimchi, seaweed stems, sautéed doraji (bellflower root), fern bracken, and more! For wraps there were perilla leaves, cabbage leaves, and cheongyang chili peppers, and there was even dedicated soy sauce right next to the acorn jelly. I thought that was already plenty, but then...

Right next to it, there was a whole fritter section! Fried shishito peppers, mushroom fritters, eggplant fritters, lotus root fritters, and sweet pumpkin fritters! There was separate dipping soy sauce for the fritters too, and a warming light was on to keep everything warm. A barley rice restaurant with unlimited fritters, not just namul side dishes at the self-serve bar... I started getting excited at this point lol.

### The japchae was the best thing on the bar

Next to the fritters was japchae (glass noodle stir-fry) and braised tofu! I think I kept saying over and over how much food there was while checking out the self-serve bar lol.

![Japchae served at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-11-zgxp3-966.webp)

The japchae in particular was seasoned just right and genuinely delicious... Personally, japchae was the side dish I enjoyed the most from the self-serve bar that day! I'd want to go back just for the japchae. Seriously lol.

![Braised tofu with a spicy warning sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-12-1vihv-966.webp)

There was a sign in front of the braised tofu saying it's on the spicier side, but to my taste it wasn't spicy at all. Everyone perceives spiciness differently, so I liked that they gave a heads-up like this! Just in case haha.

![Sungnyung set out next to the japchae](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-13-1g0yy-966.webp)

Next to the japchae, there was even sungnyung (scorched rice tea). Barley rice, side dishes, fritters, japchae, and sungnyung — the self-serve bar really has so much...

Down below, there were plenty of extra plates, so you could help yourself without feeling self-conscious. Since there are so many kinds of side dishes, I'd recommend making several trips with small portions instead of trying to fit everything on one plate haha.

![Stack of extra plates below the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-14-jzdvq-966.webp)

## Mackerel set and grilled gochujang pork set

While we were nibbling on side dishes from the self-serve bar, our main dishes arrived. First, the mackerel set! It comes with half a mackerel, so it's a good choice if just barley rice and namul side dishes feels a bit lacking. If you're visiting as a group, it might be nice to order a mix of mackerel and pork to share!

![Mackerel set meal with half a mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-15-8yt8c-966.webp)

And this is the grilled gochujang pork! It's pork seasoned with gochujang (red chili paste), so it went really well with barley rice or wrap vegetables. Since the self-serve bar had perilla leaves, cabbage wraps, and ssamjang (dipping sauce), it was great for wrapping the meat too haha.

And here's the cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew) that comes with the set! This cheonggukjang was genuinely delicious... Mixing barley rice with just namul and gochujang is already good, but adding a bit of cheonggukjang makes it much more savory and moist!

![Cheonggukjang served with the set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-16-cdbn6-966.webp)

### The free nubiani beef from the review event

This is the nubiani (grilled beef) we got from the Naver receipt review event! Since it was a free complimentary dish, I wasn't expecting much, but I was surprised at how good it was lol. It was delicious on its own, and it also paired well wrapped in perilla leaf with ssamjang!

![A plate of nubiani from the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-17-3z2a7-966.webp)

These are the bibimbap ingredients my boyfriend brought over lol. He said he grabbed one of every kind of namul from the self-serve bar! Mix these with barley rice, gochujang, and sesame oil and you've got a barley rice bibimbap haha.

![Plate of assorted namul brought over for bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-18-46ut1-966.webp)

This is the plate I brought over! I grabbed acorn jelly, perilla leaves, cabbage wrap, fritters, japchae, and cheongyang chili peppers. Besides the namul for bibimbap, there was such a variety of side dishes to pair with the meal! There was ssamjang separately too, so it's great for wrapping pork or nubiani in a wrap haha.

This is the braised tofu that was labeled as potentially spicy! To my taste it wasn't spicy at all, and the seasoning had a slight savory depth that kept me reaching for more haha.

## Sesame oil, gochujang and the yuzu-scented soy sauce for fritters

Every table has sesame oil and gochujang ready to go. Just grab as much namul as you want from the self-serve bar, then mix it up right at your seat! Just a note, the gochujang is a bit on the runny side, so be careful scooping it without spilling. And yes, the gochujang container does have a lid — I just left it open in the photo because we were digging in right after taking the shot haha!

![Sesame oil and gochujang containers on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-20-jrq0m-966.webp)

On the right, you'll find a variety of sauces suited to different dishes: dipping soy sauce for fritters, soy sauce specifically for acorn jelly, ssamjang, and more. Of all of them, the fritter dipping soy sauce was truly delicious! It seemed to have yuzu in it — there was a subtle citrus scent that paired amazingly well with the fritters....!!!

![Fritter dipping soy sauce and ssamjang sauce station](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-21-1kkfk-966.webp)

Since we'd gathered all the food, I took a group shot haha. With main dishes like mackerel and pork alongside namul side dishes, japchae, fritters, and cheonggukjang, the table was genuinely packed full.

![Full table spread with mackerel, pork, and namul side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-22-2k1ic-966.webp)

Mixing in namul and gochujang like crazy~~~ I even threw in some cheonggukjang and mixed it all together lol. Since you can add as much namul as you like, you can pile on your favorites and skip the ones you don't like, making it totally customizable!

One more shot of the complimentary nubiani~! It was delicious on its own, but I wrapped it in perilla leaf with nubiani and ssamjang haha. If they're running a review event, definitely make sure to try the nubiani!

![Nubiani eaten wrapped in perilla leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set/bori-ok-suwon-mangpo-barley-set-23-pzh26-966.webp)

Cleaned my plate completely... haha. With so many side dishes alongside the barley rice, I ended up way more full than expected.

## Dessert at Boriook: plum tea, rice puffs and barley crackers

On the right side of the self-serve bar, there was coffee, plum tea, and peach juice available. Beyond drinks, there were even rice puffs and barley crackers, so it was great for a simple dessert after the meal!

I grabbed plum tea, rice puffs, and barley crackers, but I was too busy eating to take photos of anything besides the plum tea... lol. From barley rice to dessert, everything can be handled inside the restaurant!

After finishing our meal and heading outside, there was a waiting area with a spot to sit and rest for a bit. It had good lighting, tables, and chairs, so we ended up chatting there a little longer before heading home lol.

## Is Boriook Main Branch worth it for a group of five?

> ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Went for barley rice, came back completely won over by the japchae lol.

- You can help yourself to as much barley rice, white rice, and namul side dishes as you want
- Japchae, braised tofu, and all kinds of fritters are also unlimited at the self-serve bar
- You can pick a main dish to suit your taste, like mackerel or grilled pork
- Cheonggukjang, drinks, rice puffs, and barley crackers are all available, covering dessert too
- There's parking in front of the building, but spots may run short during meal times

I thought this would just be a place with barley rice and a few namul side dishes, but with japchae, braised tofu, and various fritters, I ended up eating way more generously than I expected at Boriook Main Branch! Personally, the barley rice was great, but what stuck with me most was the japchae and the yuzu-scented fritter dipping sauce from the self-serve bar haha.

Since you can also order main dishes like mackerel or pork, it seems like a good spot for a meal with parents or a family outing too! If you're looking for a Korean restaurant in Mangpo, Suwon where you can eat namul side dishes and barley rice to your heart's content, it's worth a visit.
