The composition looks great for group work dinners, and the meal portions are so generous it'd also be perfect for nearby office workers' lunch! ### Obongjip's banchan tray and the self-serve side dish bar ![Obongjip side dishes served on an obong tray](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-03-16w4u-900.webp) True to the name Obongjip (Five-Tray House), the side dishes came out neatly arranged on a tray! Seaweed soup, sausage, bean sprouts, baek-kimchi (white kimchi), and more, all beautifully prepared. I really love seaweed soup — I could finish a bottle of soju with just that. ![Self-serve side dish bar at Obongjip Samseong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-04-1g3qs-900.webp) If you need more side dishes, just use the self-serve bar! Every dish there is neatly organized too!! ## Bossam, small size — still a generous plate of boiled pork ![Small-size bossam pork with bossam kimchi at Obongjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-05-1fi93-1200.webp) Bossam [small]. Even at the small size, the amount of boiled pork is generous! Look at that glossy sheen on the bossam!! 👀 How could this visual not taste good? The combo of crunchy bossam kimchi, sweet-spicy radish salad, and tender, moist pork!! Instant somaek (soju + beer) trigger. ![A piece of Obongjip's boiled pork with salted shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-06-5p6vd-900.webp) Genuinely moist and clean-tasting bossam! It pairs well with the kimchi and radish salad, but it's also amazing simply with salted shrimp!! ## Fire-grilled octopus stir-fry: how smoky and how spicy? ![Fire-grilled octopus stir-fry with smoky char at Obongjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-07-m7zzn-900.webp) Wow, the fire-grilled octopus stir-fry was packed with smoky char!! I'm drooling just writing this post,, look at those plump octopus legs 🐙 Chewy and springy octopus stir-fry!! It had that smoky flavor with just the right amount of spice, and plenty of cabbage kept the heat clean and balanced! Total soju pairing 🤭🤭 ## Platter mak-guksu, the cold buckwheat noodles that come with the set ![Platter mak-guksu topped with egg garnish and seaweed flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-08-1f4ff-900.webp) Egg garnish, seaweed flakes, vegetables — the platter mak-guksu came out colorfully arranged, almost too pretty to mix! But with the provided disposable gloves, mix it up anyway!! The sauce amount on the mak-guksu was just right too, not too salty and delicious. Plenty of vegetables made it refreshing and clean. ![The full spread of the Nakji Obong Special set](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-09-1m2tw-900.webp) If you want to try a bit of everything, the Special Set is the way to go!! Highly recommend it!! The menu composition felt just right. If the octopus stir-fry gets too spicy, grab a bite of bossam, then finish with the refreshing mak-guksu!! A perfect set for 3–4 people. ## Review-event fried peppers, and kalnakji on the next visit ![Sign for Obongjip Samseong Branch's review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-10-vkybw-900.webp) ![Guide on how to enjoy Obongjip's kalnakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-11-1tb16-900.webp) Also, Obongjip Samseong Branch gives you fried peppers as a review event, so definitely try to join 🤭 Next time I'm planning to visit during lunch to try the kalnakji (knife-cut octopus). Their kalnakji has been popping up on my Instagram lately. The visuals look so tempting I'll have to come back for it. Here's a preview guide on how to enjoy kalnakji the best way! ![Complimentary plum juice served for dessert at Obongjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-12-11p8c-900.webp) For a final palate cleanser, they gave us plum juice on the house! After the three of us cleared the entire Special set, we were seriously full, but it was such a thoughtful dessert touch! haha Nothing beats ending a meal with plum juice ✨ ![Terra non-alcoholic beer stocked at Obongjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner-13-55yjo-m-900.webp) Oh, and I noticed they now carry Terra non-alcoholic beer?? If you're driving, you still can't skip a drink with a meal like this, right 👀 It's genuinely 0.00, so no worries about driving!! Since Obongjip keeps it in stock, at least enjoy a glass this way haha. A perfect spread with smoky octopus stir-fry, tender moist bossam, and sweet-tangy mak-guksu, all in the Special set!! If you're looking for a great Korean restaurant near Samseong Station or COEX for lunch or a dinner get-together, I fully recommend Obongjip!!! ## Where it is - Obongjip Samseong Branch (오봉집 삼성점) - 62 Teheran-ro 81-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로81길 62 1층 오봉집 - 37.5105267, 127.0558633 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%B4%89%EC%A7%91%20%EC%82%BC%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%90/@37.5105267,127.0558633,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@room-for-seconds/samseong-nakji-obong-special-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
