On a weekend date, the signature gamssachidak for two (40,000 won) came with bibim makguksu (cold spicy buckwheat noodles) and fried rice to finish, and wrapping the cheese dakgalbi in the perilla-leaf potato pancake tamed the heat enough to keep the bites coming. Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch is a good-value meal near Gangnam Station when two people want to share three different flavors. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F Gangnam Diobill, 54 Seocho-daero 73-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul (between Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM - **Parking**: 1 hour free in the building's underground lot - **What we ordered**: Gamssachidak for two 40,000 won, bibim makguksu, fried rice - **Also on the menu**: Jjolim dakgalbi, perilla-leaf potato pancake, saleolgeum nurungju (chilled rice wine) and more - **Seating**: Spacious dining room with group tables *as written by the visitor on Sep 1, 2026* ![First photo from visiting Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-01-1ykb2-900.webp) I went out for a dakgalbi date with my partner over the weekend! I love dakgalbi so much I've traveled all the way to Chuncheon for it haha. This time I didn't go far and tried one in the Gangnam area instead — it turned out way better than expected, so I wanted to share it. This is Dakgalbijeon, a place with good value that I found as a Gangnam Station restaurant pick! ## Where is Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch? Parking and hours Dakgalbijeon is on the 2nd floor of Gangnam Diobill, 54 Seocho-daero 73-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul. It's conveniently located between Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station, making it an easy meeting spot too. What I liked most was the parking! Using the building's underground lot gets you 1 hour free, which takes the pressure off if you drive there. It's open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM, so it works well for both lunch and dinner. ![Spacious dining room seating on the 2nd floor of Gangnam Diobill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-02-1ecyw-900.webp) Going up to the 2nd floor, the restaurant was bigger than I expected, and even outside peak lunch hours there were quite a lot of customers. There's group seating too, so it seemed like a good spot for a meal with friends or a work dinner. ## What's on the menu at Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch? ![Menu board at Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-03-15bp7-900.webp) ![Menu board listing jjolim dakgalbi and perilla-leaf potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-04-17hb2-900.webp) ![Drinks menu including salteolgeum nurungju](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-05-1ce82-900.webp) ![Menu board listing the gamssachidak set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-06-8qcez-900.webp) At Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch there were menu items with fun names like jjolim dakgalbi, perilla-leaf potato pancake, and salteolgeum nurungju. Even the menu names alone made me want to try everything, haha. We ordered the signature gamssachidak for two. It's a set of cheese dakgalbi wrapped in potato pancake, priced at 40,000 won for two people. Rather than ordering a main and picking sides separately, being able to enjoy it all at once felt like a great value pick for a Gangnam Station meal. ## Wrapping cheese dakgalbi in the perilla-leaf potato pancake ![Table spread of gamssachidak for two, topped with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-07-1atco-900.webp) Ta-da! The food finally arrived. Dakgalbi topped with cheese — the visuals alone were already on point, haha. ![Close-up of cheesy dakgalbi on the hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-08-1oe0n-900.webp) ![Perilla-leaf potato pancake served alongside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-09-24jnr-966.webp) And the perilla-leaf potato pancake that came with it! Crispy on the outside and chewy inside, it was tasty even eaten on its own. ![Dakgalbi piled onto the perilla-leaf potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-10-17rh3-900.webp) ![A bite of cheese dakgalbi wrapped in potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-11-1wkpd-900.webp) Then I piled well-seasoned meat on top and took a bite — whoa, what is this combination? The savory potato pancake tones down the spiciness a bit, and with the perilla aroma added, it went together way better than I expected. At first I thought it was a slightly unusual combo, but once I started eating, I couldn't stop, haha. ## Why bibim makguksu is a must with dakgalbi ![Bibim makguksu ordered alongside the dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-12-ssns0-900.webp) We also ordered bibim makguksu! You can't resist tangy-sweet makguksu (buckwheat noodles) while eating dakgalbi, right? After eating spicy-seasoned dakgalbi, one bite of bibim makguksu felt like it cleared the palate completely! The noodles were evenly coated in sauce too, so it wasn't bland at all — just the right tangy-sweet flavor. ![Table with dakgalbi and bibim makguksu set together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-13-714tu-900.webp) Especially after wrapping dakgalbi in potato pancake and then adding makguksu on top, the three different flavors kept things interesting and I never got tired of eating, haha. Personally, I'd recommend ordering bibim makguksu alongside the dakgalbi rather than just having dakgalbi alone. And no matter how full you are, you have to try the fried rice! ![Fried rice ingredients on the hot plate before cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-14-vo2rj-900.webp) Honestly we were so full we weren't going to order it, but seeing the table next to us enjoying it so much, my partner and I exchanged glances and ordered it right away, haha. ![Fried rice mixed with dakgalbi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-15-14x2e-966.webp) Fried rice mixed with that umami-packed dakgalbi sauce — how could it not be delicious, haha? ## What stood out about the gamssachidak set for two ![Dining table with cheese dakgalbi and potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-16-vjg6y-1200.webp) The value I felt at this Gangnam Station restaurant wasn't just about the price being cheap. What I liked was being able to enjoy dakgalbi and pancake together, plus adding makguksu on top to properly round out a full meal. It was especially satisfying visiting as a pair like we did, since we could share a bit of everything. The mood also fit well — hearty for lunch, or paired with a drink in the evening. ## Worth it if you want dakgalbi near Gangnam Station ![Final shot of potato pancake wrapped around gamssachidak](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date-17-bjy85-900.webp) After trying it this time, I understood why Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch pushes gamssachidak as its signature menu, haha. Compared to just eating spicy dakgalbi on its own, wrapping it in the plain, savory potato pancake made for a genuinely fun flavor combination. And once we finished with the makguksu at the end, the two of us were seriously stuffed! If you're looking for a hearty meal in Gangnam, or curious about a different dakgalbi combination, this cost-effective Gangnam Station restaurant is worth a stop! I fully recommend the potato pancake wrap combo, haha. ## Where it is - Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch (닭갈비전 강남점) - 54 Seocho-daero 73-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea (2F, Gangnam Diobill) - 서울특별시 서초구 서초대로73길 54 강남디오빌 2층 닭갈비전 - 37.5020765, 127.023964 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%AD%EA%B0%88%EB%B9%84%EC%A0%84%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%A0%90/@37.5020765,127.023964,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@quiet-cafe-pages/gangnam-dakgalbi-jeon-weekend-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
