After a morning lecture at Konkuk University, the writer ordered the salmon shrimp jang rice bowl and the cube steak rice bowl for lunch, each arriving as a full spread with salad, soup and a honey-glazed cheese rice cake dessert. With window seats for one and a self-service bar, Hekbap works just as well for a solo meal as for two. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 - 21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00 - 16:30 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Parking**: No on-site parking; park at Konkuk Lotte Department Store for 2 hours free with the department store app, or at Konkuk University Hospital lot, 30 minutes free then 500 won per 10 minutes - **Facilities**: Men's and women's restrooms, takeout, delivery, solo seating - **Ordered**: Salmon shrimp jang rice bowl, cube steak rice bowl - **Self-service bar**: Pickled radish, kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), wasabi - **Price reference**: ₩500 ≈ $0.4 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![Exterior of Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch near Konkuk University Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-01-1jxrs-900.webp) ## Lunch at Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch after a morning lecture On the morning of September 13, I attended a lecture at Konkuk University. Once it was over I got hungry and started thinking about where to eat, and remembered enjoying a meal at another branch of Hekbap before — so I headed to the nearby Konkuk University Main Branch. ![Interior of Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch with a ceiling chandelier](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-02-17cfy-900.webp) The moment I walked in, the pretty chandelier hanging from the ceiling caught my eye. The atmosphere felt upscale yet clean and warm overall. ![Clean, neatly arranged seating area in the dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-03-knwvs-900.webp) ### Window seats for solo diners and the self-service bar at Hekbap There are dedicated single seats by the window, which looked great for students or office workers eating alone. ![Solo seats set up by the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-04-z2a15-966.webp) On one side of the restaurant there's a neatly arranged self-service bar. You can help yourself to as much pickled radish, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and wasabi as you like. ![Self-service bar with pickled radish, kkakdugi, and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-05-1v7t6-788.webp) Looking around near the tables, I spotted a cute little event booklet called 'Magic Solution to Your Worries.' ![Magic Solution to Your Worries booklet placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-06-h28su-966.webp) Flipping through it, there were short, touching quotes written inside — maybe because I'd just come from a lecture, they hit me a little harder and put me in a good mood. ## Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch hours and where to park Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch is open daily from 11:00 to 21:00, with a break time from 15:00 to 16:30 and last order at 20:30.

For dessert, you also get cheese rice cake drizzled with honey, which was a delightfully savory and chewy treat. I shared my portion with a companion who loves chewy rice cakes, which made the meal even more enjoyable. ![Cube steak rice bowl topped with meat and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-14-qk59f-543.webp) *Cube steak rice bowl* ### How is the cube steak rice bowl at Hekbap? The cube steak rice bowl came piled high with meat pan-seared at 200℃, along with cherry tomatoes, peppers, and mushrooms for variety. The juicy meat burst with flavor and blended wonderfully with the special sauce — absolutely excellent. ![Salmon shrimp jang rice bowl topped with salmon, shrimp jang, and egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-15-1tgux-1200.webp) *Salmon shrimp jang rice bowl* ### How is the salmon shrimp jang rice bowl at Hekbap? The salmon shrimp jang rice bowl combines fresh salmon with savory, well-marinated shrimp jang (soy-marinated shrimp). It arrives with a rich egg yolk sprinkled lightly with chili powder on top, along with onion and pickled radish. ![Close-up of the salmon shrimp jang rice bowl with chili powder sprinkled over the yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-16-91vp6-900.webp) *Salmon shrimp jang rice bowl* I popped the yolk, placed some salmon on top of the rice, and took a big bite. There was no fishy taste at all — it melted smoothly in my mouth, and I really loved it. ![Table sign explaining how to eat the rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-17-dvkqp-900.webp) The sign on the table recommends placing the ingredients on top of the rice rather than mixing everything together, and eating it that way really let me taste the ingredients' natural flavors more clearly. ![Free Pepsi Zero received from the receipt event](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-18-1g0q3-900.webp) During the meal, I took part in the Naver receipt event and got a free Pepsi Zero. The sharp fizz and coolness gave the meal a clean finish. ![Table at Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi/haekbap-konkuk-salmon-shrimp-cube-steak-donburi-19-xaqsu-900.webp) ## Final verdict on Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch is a great Konkuk spot to visit anytime you want a hearty, well-put-together meal without any hassle.
