If you're looking for a good Jonggak Korean restaurant or a solo-dining spot near Jonggak Station, definitely save this one. 😊💛 ![A full Korean set meal spread at Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-01-1e7k8-1200.webp) ## Where is Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch, and when is it open? > Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch ![Entrance to Bonghyejane on the basement 2nd floor of Jongno Tower](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-02-vyvzr-966.webp) - 📍 Location: Basement 2F, B206 & B207, 51 Jongno, Jongno-gu, Seoul - 🚇 About 75m from Jonggak Station exit 3-1 - ⏰ Hours: Mon–Fri 11:00–21:00 / Sat–Sun 11:00–20:00 - Break time 15:00–16:30 - Last order weekdays 20:00 / weekends 19:00 - ※ Closed Sept 25 for Chuseok - 📌 Takeout and group dining available, high chairs - 📌 Separate men's/women's restrooms, waiting area / wheelchair access at entrance and restrooms - 🚗 Parking available: first 90 minutes free, then ₩3,600 per 30 minutes - ✔️ Corkage available: free, no limit on alcohol brand (max 2 bottles), excluding alcohol sold in-store It's right outside Jonggak Station exit 3-1.

Highly recommend for a Jongno date course or Jonggak date course!! ![Underground mall corridor in Jongno Tower near Jonggak Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-03-1cpqv-966.webp) ![Area around the entrance of Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-04-s530n-966.webp) ![Restaurant interior with wooden tables and soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-05-1lrc5-966.webp) ![Overview of the dining hall seating at Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-06-1c0xv-966.webp) ## Inside the restaurant: solo seats and group tables The restaurant had a pretty clean, pretty atmosphere. Wooden tables and chairs. The lighting was soft too, so overall it felt warm and very selfie-friendly! ![Seating ranging from solo tables to 4-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-07-x8jkw-966.webp) The spacing between tables wasn't cramped either. There's a range from solo seats to 4-person tables to group seating, so it would work well as a Jonggak company dinner spot too. Looking around at the other tables, a lot of office workers dining alone were there too. Recommend it as a solo-dining spot near Jonggak Station 😊 ![The bossam set and grilled bulgogi set laid out together](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-08-1e370-893.webp) ## What comes with the bossam set (15,000 won) and charcoal bulgogi set (14,000 won) What we ordered that day was 🌟 the bossam set for ₩15,000 and the grilled bulgogi set for ₩14,000. True to a proper set meal, the food comes out as a full spread — not just rice and a main dish, but soup, seaweed, and side dishes too, so the composition was really good. And the set even includes white kimchi and pumpkin porridge! Daebak 👍🏻 The bossam set (boiled pork wraps) came with a pretty generous amount of meat. The meat wasn't dry at all, it was tender, which I liked, and it was completely filling as a meal. ![A plate of bossam set with a generous portion of meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-09-y1stb-966.webp) ![Bossam meat served with white kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-10-1dgwy-966.webp) It also came with garlic, chili, and sauce on the side, so you could mix and match depending on your taste. ![A piece of bossam with garlic, chili, and sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-11-tq9gv-966.webp) On the table there was also cold-pressed sesame oil, Bonghyeja sesame oil, from an actual mill! Made with 100% whole sesame seeds 👏🏻 I wanted to buy some to take home! It was so nutty and delicious. The grilled bulgogi (charcoal-grilled marinated beef) I ordered had a subtle smoky charcoal flavor with a slightly sweet taste, and it also came with a generous amount of meat, so there was no sense of it being lacking! ![A full spread of the grilled bulgogi set with charcoal aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-12-1vq1y-966.webp) ![Close-up of the sweet marinated grilled bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-13-vg33m-966.webp) ### Pumpkin porridge served with every set meal The pumpkin porridge (hobakjuk) that comes with the set was especially good — the pumpkin porridge you get at most restaurants can feel pretty sweet, but this one wasn't too sweet, it was just right. ![A bowl of pumpkin porridge included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-14-14nrr-m-966.webp) ![A spoonful of smooth pumpkin porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-15-1ky4c-966.webp) It was smooth and mild, and really tasty 🎃 ![Pumpkin porridge set among the rice and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-16-1ebeg-966.webp) ![The pumpkin porridge bowl eaten as dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-17-100so-966.webp) My friend ate the pumpkin porridge like an appetizer at the start of the meal, while I ate mine as dessert after finishing my rice. ![Soup and seaweed served alongside the set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-18-xz10t-966.webp) There was also soup served alongside, good for taking spoonfuls of in between bites of rice, and with the seaweed added in too, it really felt like a home-cooked meal. ![Rice wrapped in seaweed being eaten](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-19-182il-966.webp) ![Side dishes and soup set out together with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-20-76wt9-966.webp) ![A home-cooked-style meal of rice and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-21-1tisx-966.webp) ![The full table with both the bossam set and bulgogi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-22-eqxtj-966.webp) ## Why Bonghyejane Jubang works when you want home-style Korean food near Jonggak Rather than something flashy, eating proper Korean food with rice, side dishes, and soup all served together gave off a comfortable, home-cooked-meal kind of feeling. You can get familiar favorites like bossam or bulgogi as a full set meal, and the portion of meat is generous too. Great! ![The table at Bonghyejane Jubang after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-23-1f22j-966.webp) ![View near Jongno Bookstore inside Jongno Tower](https://img.superchart.com/images/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set-24-1sz66-m-966.webp) After the meal, we browsed books at Jongno Bookstore right in front and even stopped by a café, so it was a great way to spend time on a day out with a friend! Outdoor dining in Jongno is nice too, but if you want a hearty Korean set meal in a clean, tidy restaurant, it's worth stopping by Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch.🤍 > Naver receipt review event 🌟 Write a photo review and get one free alcoholic drink or beverage ♥ ## Where it is - Bonghyejane Jubang Jongno Tower branch (봉혜자네주방 종로타워점) - 51 Jongno, Jongno-gu, Seoul, B206 & B207, Basement 2F, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 종로 51 지하2층 B206, B207호 - 37.5707534, 126.9836385 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B4%89%ED%98%9C%EC%9E%90%EB%84%A4%EC%A3%BC%EB%B0%A9%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%ED%83%80%EC%9B%8C%EC%A0%90/@37.5707534,126.9836385,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-before-nightfall/bonghyeja-kitchen-jongno-tower-bossam-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
