My family shared yukhoe bibimbap, spicy soft tofu beef-bone soup rice, yeolmu bibim naengmyeon, and pork belly; prices were 10,000–13,000 won. Verdict: a tidy, filling choice with enough variety for solo meals or family dining. ## Good to know - **Location**: 101, 1F, 13 Mapo-daero 8-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Seating**: Tables for 2, 4, and 6 people - **Yukhoe bibimbap**: ₩12,000 - **Pork belly bibimbap**: ₩10,000 - **Beef-bone soup rice**: ₩10,000 - **Yeolmu bibim naengmyeon**: ₩10,000 - **Yeolmu bibimbap**: ₩10,000 - **Nurungji tangsuyuk**: ₩10,000 - **Charcoal-grilled spicy pork rice bowl**: ₩11,000 - **Spicy soft tofu beef-bone soup rice**: ₩12,000 - **Spicy beef tripe beef-bone soup rice**: ₩13,000 - **Beef brisket bibimbap**: ₩10,000 - **Beef bulgogi bibimbap**: ₩11,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Featured photo introducing a visit to Horangi Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-01-1dgze-866.webp) Horangi Gotgan was a place I had been happy with on my previous visit because the food was so neat and tasty! I had come alone then, so I was a little sad that I couldn't try more dishes. This time, since I was in Gongdeok with my family, I stopped by again. ![Returning to Horangi Gotgan with family](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-02-x96ie-852.webp) The menu is rooted in Korean food, but there is plenty of variety and every dish is easy to enjoy, so this time we ordered several things and really tucked in. ## Horangi Gotgan near Gongdeok Station: weekend lunch wait? It is close to Gongdeok Station, so it is easy to find. Last time I visited a little after weekday lunchtime, so ![Waiting at Horangi Gotgan during weekend lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-03-wweet-900.webp) I hadn't thought it was particularly busy, but the weekend lunch atmosphere was completely different. There were quite a few guests, and we waited about 10 minutes before getting in. Still, they took our order while we waited, so the food came out quickly once we were seated, ![Orders being taken in advance while waiting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-04-152y6-900.webp) and the staff handled orders and service thoughtfully, so the wait did not feel especially inconvenient. It struck me as a place loved by office workers in Gongdeok for weekday lunch and by nearby residents as a Korean restaurant on weekends. ## A tidy, comfortable dining room ![Restaurant interior with tiger character](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-05-1w751-865.webp) Once inside, Horangi Gotgan's signature tiger character appears here and there. It gave the otherwise clean overall atmosphere a bit of the restaurant's own fun. ![Interior with tables for different group sizes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-06-46hoh-966.webp) There are tables for two, four, and six, so it looked well suited to all kinds of visits, from eating alone to family meals and office lunch gatherings. I came with family this time, and it was comfortable for sitting down to eat. ## Horangi Gotgan menu and prices ![Horangi Gotgan menu and price guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-07-1u1f2-900.webp) - Yukhoe bibimbap (raw beef mixed rice) ₩12,000 - Pork belly bibimbap ₩10,000 - Beef-bone soup rice ₩10,000 - Yeolmu bibim naengmyeon (young-radish mixed cold noodles) ₩10,000 - Yeolmu bibimbap ₩10,000 - Nurungji tangsuyuk (crispy rice-crust sweet-and-sour pork) ₩10,000 - Charcoal-grilled spicy pork rice bowl ₩11,000 - Spicy soft tofu beef-bone soup rice ₩12,000 - Spicy beef tripe beef-bone soup rice ₩13,000 - Beef brisket bibimbap ₩10,000 - Beef bulgogi bibimbap ₩11,000 Last time I came alone and tried only one menu item, but this time I was with family, so we ordered a variety of dishes I had been curious about. ![Various Korean dishes ordered with family](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-08-1a2se-966.webp) My mom loves bibim naengmyeon, so she ordered the yeolmu bibim naengmyeon and pork belly set, while my sibling chose the signature yukhoe bibimbap. I ordered the spicy soft tofu beef-bone soup rice. ![Ordered spicy soft tofu beef-bone soup rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-09-bk9cx-966.webp) Normally I would have picked just one, but coming with family meant I could taste everything from soup to noodles to bibimbap, which was great. ## Tasting the beef-bone soup and each dish ![Tasting portion of beef-bone soup served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-10-mu8q8-900.webp) Before our food arrived, they gave us a small tasting portion of beef-bone soup, and it was much better than I expected. Though the broth was milky white, it was neither dull nor greasy; it was clean yet deep in flavor. As we each had a spoonful before the meal, our appetites naturally woke up. ![Clean-tasting beef-bone soup sample](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-11-665fu-966.webp) ### Yukhoe bibimbap First, the yukhoe bibimbap looked appetizing from its colors alone, with its variety of vegetables. ![Yukhoe bibimbap with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-12-6xeuh-838.webp) The yukhoe had a subtle sesame-oil aroma, and the seasoning was not overly strong, so the ingredients' flavors came through well. I could see why it is introduced as a signature dish. ![Signature yukhoe bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-13-oetgt-966.webp) ### Spicy soft tofu beef-bone soup rice The spicy soft tofu beef-bone soup rice I ordered had a different appeal from the clear beef-bone soup. It came with silky soft tofu and topside beef, and the broth had a warming kick. Mixing in the rice made it filling and deeply soothing. ![Soft tofu and topside beef in spicy soft tofu beef-bone soup rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-14-1ggua-900.webp) ![Spicy soft tofu beef-bone soup rice mixed with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-15-shdy6-900.webp) ### Yeolmu bibim naengmyeon and pork belly I also really liked the yeolmu bibim naengmyeon and pork belly combination my mom ordered. It was not a dry, thoroughly mixed style with no broth just because it was bibim naengmyeon; it had a little broth in it, making it far cooler and cleaner-tasting than expected. ![Yeolmu bibim naengmyeon with a little broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-16-1fuh9-855.webp) ![Yeolmu bibim naengmyeon and pork belly combination](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-17-1a2va-844.webp) Adding pork belly made it much more filling than noodles alone, and the spicy seasoning paired nicely with the meat too. ## From solo meals to family dining ![Family meal with several dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-18-xy8uu-631.webp) I was satisfied when I visited alone last time, but trying several dishes with my family this time made me understand a little better why there are so many customers. ![Family meal with a variety of Korean dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-19-19o97-891.webp) It is a good place for anything from lunch to a family meal: Korean dishes are served neatly, the price range is not burdensome, and there are plenty of menu choices. ![Meal at Horangi Gotgan near Gongdeok Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-20-1x7uc-860.webp) It is especially accessible because it is close to Gongdeok Station, so if you are looking for a Korean restaurant in Gongdeok, it is worth stopping by at least once. I had already visited once, yet I was happy again this time, so I think I will return whenever I have a meal in Gongdeok. ![Closing photo from the Horangi Gotgan visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu-21-1mxc3-600.webp) ## Where it is - Horangi Gotgan Gongdeok Branch (호랭이곳간 공덕점) - 101, 1F, 13 Mapo-daero 8-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 마포대로8길 13 1층 101호 호랭이곳간 - 37.5464213, 126.953975 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%98%B8%EB%9E%AD%EC%9D%B4%EA%B3%B3%EA%B0%84%20%EA%B3%B5%EB%8D%95%EC%A0%90/@37.5464213,126.953975,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-diner-stamp/gongdeok-horangyi-gotgan-sundubu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
