I ordered the hot stone roe rice set with pork tteokgalbi and a side of Korean beef yukhoe; the kiosk and self-service pickup were easy, though there was still a wait after lunch. ## Good to know - **Address**: 10-13 Saesulmak-gil, 1F, Unit 101, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 과천시 새술막길 10-13 1층 101호) - **Public transit**: About a 5-minute walk from Exit 11 of Government Complex Gwacheon Station on Line 4 - **Hours**: At the time of the original post: daily 11:00 AM–10:00 PM, open year-round - **Parking**: No on-site parking; a nearby public parking lot was listed at ₩900 for the first 30 minutes - **Roe rice set**: ₩13,500 with pork tteokgalbi; ₩14,500 with Korean beef tteokgalbi - **Korean beef yukhoe side**: ₩7,000 - **Ordering**: Order and pay at the kiosk; pick up food and return dishes yourself - **Self-service bar**: Broth, enoki mushrooms, white kimchi, and individually wrapped disposable aprons *as written by the visitor on Aug 27, 2026* I went to Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch (비비삼 과천본점) for lunch in Gwacheon. It caught my eye as a hot stone bowl specialist that uses toreum, a method of rinsing rice with broth. This time, I had the roe rice set with pork tteokgalbi and added Korean beef yukhoe. ![Hot stone dishes tasted at Bibisam in Gwacheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-0006/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-01-13jmf-1200.webp) I had thought toreum was a method used only for gukbap, but the restaurant said its rice is prepared this way. I was curious how it would differ from the bibimbap I usually eat. ![Information about toreum rice at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-02-12ney-550.webp) ![Bibisam hot stone menu and toreum method information](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-03-1yrtq-550.webp) ## How do I get there from Government Complex Gwacheon Station? It is about a five-minute walk from Exit 11 of Government Complex Gwacheon Station on Line 4. The address is 10-13 Saesulmak-gil, 1F, Unit 101, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, and part of the storefront has floor-to-ceiling windows. ![Bibisam storefront near Government Complex Gwacheon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-04-1h7if-550.webp) ![Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch with partial floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-05-10h2z-550.webp) At the time of the original post, it was listed as open daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, year-round. On-site parking was unavailable, and a nearby public parking lot was listed at ₩900 for the first 30 minutes. ## What are the wait and ordering like for lunch alone? There was a wait not only during the lunch rush but also after lunchtime. I happened to get in when a seat opened up. ![Inside Bibisam during a lunch visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-06-u285v-550.webp) I ordered and paid in one go at the kiosk. Since I returned my own dishes after eating, the process felt straightforward. ![Kiosk for ordering and payment at Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-07-1npdi-550.webp) ## How much are the hot stone roe rice set and yukhoe? The menu included basic vegetable bibimbap as well as bibimbap topped with Korean beef yukhoe and octopus. The choices varied by topping. ![Bibisam bibimbap menu by topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-08-1p9gd-550.webp) Items without tteokgalbi started at ₩9,000, while sets with tteokgalbi started in the low ₩10,000 range. The prices did not feel too burdensome to me. ![Bibisam individual dishes and tteokgalbi sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-09-i0ugp-550.webp) The set comes with pork tteokgalbi by default, and I could switch to Korean beef tteokgalbi for an additional ₩1,000. Since I planned to order Korean beef yukhoe separately, I chose the pork tteokgalbi. ![Tteokgalbi choices for Bibisam set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-10-71yau-550.webp) Because I usually enjoy roe rice, I ordered the hot stone roe rice set. It was ₩13,500 with pork tteokgalbi and ₩14,500 with Korean beef tteokgalbi. ![Information on the hot stone roe rice set](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-11-1r1zd-550.webp) The side menu was short, which made it easy to choose. I ordered Korean beef yukhoe separately for ₩7,000. I planned to eat it as is, then put some over the roe rice as well. ![Korean beef yukhoe side dish added at Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-12-9jv70-550.webp) ## How do I use the self-service bar and food pickup? There were zero-calorie drinks and regular sodas. Since I collected my ordered drinks from the self-service bar, I picked them up along with the side dishes. ![Area for collecting ordered drinks at Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-13-n6g2p-550.webp) ![Bibisam self-service bar for drinks and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-14-vwo2y-550.webp) ![Self-service bar for meal preparation at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-15-17vd2-550.webp) ![Area for collecting side dishes at Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-16-875cw-550.webp) ![Bibisam self-service bar for broth and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-17-1pepu-550.webp) At the self-service bar, I could get broth, white kimchi, aprons, and more. I noticed that the disposable aprons were individually wrapped. ![Individually wrapped disposable aprons at Bibisam's self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-18-1hs9y-550.webp) There were also enoki mushrooms for the broth. I put the mushrooms in my bowl first, then poured in the broth. ![Enoki mushroom broth prepared at Bibisam's self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-19-10a2b-550.webp) When my food was ready, a notification appeared on the kiosk. I collected the food myself and returned the dishes after eating. ![Ordered food collected directly at Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-20-a9mkh-550.webp) ## How is Korean beef yukhoe with hot stone toreum roe rice? The Korean beef yukhoe was chewy yet tender. The restaurant stated that it does not use meat tenderizer. The roe rice arrived neatly arranged, sizzling in the hot stone bowl. I mixed it before scorched rice formed, then left it so the remaining heat of the bowl could make nurungji, scorched rice. ![Bibisam roe rice served in a hot stone bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-21-d7umv-550.webp) ![Roe rice mixed inside Bibisam's hot stone bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-22-1wtz3-550.webp) Following the guidance that toreum rice tastes good eaten with chopsticks, I tried it that way. The rice felt a little lighter to me. ![Toreum roe rice tasted with chopsticks at Bibisam](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-23-eod7i-550.webp) When I put the yukhoe on the hot roe rice, the outside cooked slightly. It stayed chewy while the inside was tender, so the combination worked well. A fried egg sat on top of the tteokgalbi, and I cut them together to eat. ![Fried egg and tteokgalbi in Bibisam's roe rice set](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-24-19i7z-550.webp) I scraped up every last bit of the roe rice before leaving. The wait even after lunch is something to keep in mind, but I liked the combination of roe rice and yukhoe enough that I would like to return. ## Where it is - Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch (비비삼 과천본점) (비비삼 과천본점) - 10-13 Saesulmak-gil, 1F, Unit 101, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 과천시 새술막길 10-13 1층 101호) - 경기도 과천시 새술막길 10-13 1층 101호 - 37.4286993, 126.990907 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B9%84%EB%B9%84%EC%82%BC%20%EA%B3%BC%EC%B2%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4286993,126.990907,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-doorway-2/bibisam-gwacheon-stone-pot-albap-0006/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
