Weekend date at a Siheung Baegot shellfish restaurant: waiting and

The weather warmed up so we took a little weekend trip out to Siheung Baegot~! Wanted that getaway feeling, and since we came near the sea (well, not quite the sea haha, just got some fresh air and got excited), we figured we had to eat grilled shellfish~~ So we went looking and ended up at this all-you-can-eat grilled shellfish spot, the Siheung Baegot branch, for a Baegot food date haha.

(Honestly it's an unlimited shellfish place but I got lured in by the no time limit, the meat, the ramyeon and everything else... went to stuff my face haha.)

It's about a 10-minute drive from our stay in Wolgot, so we took a taxi (gotta drink, after all... lol). The taxi driver said the place we were heading to was a legit good restaurant — made me proud that I'd found a real gem, squee~

Where is it in Baegot Avenuefrance?

♬ Location: 7 Seoultaehangno 264beon-gil, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, Siheung Baegot Avenuefrance Central Purple A, 2nd floor. Just head toward the building in Avenuefrance Purple where the delicious smells are wafting from haha.

♬ Hours: Tue-Fri 17:00-24:00 / Saturday 13:00-24:00 / Sunday 13:00-23:00, closed every Monday. May close early if shellfish stock runs out.

♬ Parking: Avenuefrance Central underground lot. It's spacious!! If you want to minimize walking, head toward the Purple building side. Register your parking when you pay for your meal!

What's the space like inside?

The interior is nice and spacious. I was worried it'd get hot and stuffy sitting by the grill, but they had every window wide open and the AC on full blast... this is the kind of flex I can get behind haha. Thank you owner > _ <

They have high chairs and dogs are welcome too. If you're bringing a dog, it's worth calling ahead to check if there's anything you need ~.~

What's on the self-bar?

The self-bar has tableware, meat, corn dogs, kimchi, ramyeon, instant rice — basically everything except what they don't have, so you just grab what you want. Staff kept coming back to keep it clean, which I really appreciated.

How long is the weekend evening wait?

We visited at 7pm on a weekend and there were about 4-5 parties ahead of us. I worried the no-time-limit policy would mean a terrible wait, but the turnover was better than I expected!! We put our name down and walked a lap around Baegot Life Park, just one minute away on foot, being all cutesy together, and by the time we got back — ta-da~ it was our turn.

The menu

I liked that pricing is split into adult / elementary school / preschool categories... The extra water refers to bottled water, but they also have a water purifier! (Oh, and because we waited, the manager gave us free ramyeon... such a kind manager, wishing them lots of prosperity and happiness 🤑🥹)

Tips for making the most of the unlimited shellfish

• Warm up with beef bacon while the shellfish cooks
• Go with steamed instead...! (unpopular opinion) It cooks juicier than grilling, I love it haha. The heat is strong so it cooks fast, no worries there
• Make corn cheese at the self-bar & raid the self-bar
• Once you've had your fill, dump everything into a self-made seafood ramyeon, then finish with rajuk!
• Add some strength to your stomach... cheer it on... that kind of thing... lol

In between bites they kept swapping out the foil on the meat pan and checking the fire hadn't died down... the staff were so friendly the whole meal, it just put me in a good mood.....❤️

Steamed over grilled? How to eat the shellfish

Look at these plump geoduck! After a bit of waiting they start opening their shells wide, so appetizing... I went with steamed, and I really do recommend it... they cook cleanly and once you lift the lid, the shells are already gaping open for you, just dig in haha. It also felt less intense heat-wise than grilling, so it's a win haha.

Finish with seafood ramyeon and rajuk

Once you're stuffed with shellfish and meat, it's time for ramyeon... there's always room for ramyeon, right haha;; toss in the little clams and sliced-up cooked abalone and let it bubble away... After finishing the ramyeon, you absolutely have to make rajuk (rice porridge) with instant rice and cheese...there's always room for rajuk too;; Skipping the rajuk should honestly be a crime 🚨🚨🚨

Who should visit

• Anyone looking for a place in Baegot to eat their fill of grilled shellfish
• Anyone who wants to enjoy plenty of geoduck, scallops and other shellfish without holding back
• Anyone who wants variety, grilling other things alongside the shellfish
• Anyone looking for a restaurant in Baegot for family meals, friend gatherings, company dinners, or dates
• Anyone traveling near Seoul who wants a hearty meal

I recommend this to everyone!! Go eat until you're absolutely stuffed!-!
