Jamsil mungtigi restaurant for a date, uni and beef ramyeon: Hampyeong

Today I visited Hampyeong Yukhoe Bangi Main Branch (함평육회 방이본점), a Bangi-dong favorite! I was moved that I could eat such fresh, chewy mungtigi (raw beef) in Seoul ⊹ ₊ ⸝⸝⸝ ♡

Where is Hampyeong Yukhoe Bangi Main Branch, and when is it open?

Hampyeong Yukhoe Bangi Main Branch is in the Bangi-dong eating alley, a 527m walk from Jamsil Station Exit 10. It is open Mon–Thu 17:00–24:00 (last order 23:00) and Fri–Sat 17:00 to 1:00 a.m. (last order midnight), and closed on Sundays.

You can reserve through Naver, and there is no parking, so use a nearby paid lot.

Hampyeong Yukhoe even posts reels of same-day-slaughtered mungtigi on its Instagram?! Freshness certified 🤩

Outdoor tables and the atmosphere inside

There are outdoor tables (yajang) in front of the restaurant too, and they looked perfect for a drink in the cool night breeze ..^^ ♥

The inside has plenty of seats and the tables are wide, which I loved!

What did we order? Menu and prices

• Hampyeong Set 2 (medium yukhoe + uni (sea urchin roe) + raw beef) ₩85,000
• Korean beef ramyeon ₩8,000
• Crispy chive fritter ₩12,000

Side dishes and clear blood soup that come with the set

When we ordered the Hampyeong set, clear seonji-guk (ox blood soup) came out first, along with seasonings, seaweed, white kimchi, pickled chili peppers and corn salad.

It had quite a lot of plump blood pudding pieces, and the broth tasted like a clear galbi-tang (beef rib soup). Keep it simmering and it's perfect for warming your stomach ⊹ ₊ ⸝⸝⸝ ♡

Hampyeong Set 2: how were the yukhoe, uni and mungtigi?

Hampyeong Set 2 comes with a medium yukhoe (raw beef tartare), uni and mungtigi. The meat quality was great and I was surprised by how much uni there was!!

Vinegared rice comes with it too, so you can make your own sushi in any combination you like ˖˚˳♥

Free seaweed when you book on Naver

I booked on Naver before visiting Hampyeong Yukhoe Bangi Main Branch, and they gave us gamtae (a type of seaweed) as a freebie! Put wasabi and uni on the yukhoe or mungtigi and it's amazing, so definitely book on Naver ⊹ ₊ ⸝⸝⸝ ♡ Or else order it as an extra!!!!!!

The uni wasn't fishy at all, and the rich scent of the sea was the best .. ♥

Same-day-slaughtered Korean beef mungtigi

They say Hampyeong Yukhoe gets Korean beef slaughtered that same day from the slaughterhouse every morning by express delivery, and it was so, so chewy, nutty and fresh 🥺 I met the mungtigi of my life

Put mungtigi, uni and wasabi on gamtae and dip it lightly in soy sauce: total heaven ⟡ᱸ⁎⁺˳ ♡.ᐟ.ᐟ

Once you try this combo, you really can't stop

Medium yukhoe topped with egg yolk

Even the yolk on the yukhoe was so fresh, plump and nutty. Yukhoe needs a yolk, you know, you know ••

The yukhoe had marbling, I swear haha. The quality is on another level ..

Piled on vinegared rice with uni, it's delicious too ⊹ ₊ ⸝⸝⸝ ♡

I couldn't resist a somaek (soju-beer mix) ..^^

What is the spicy Korean beef ramyeon like?

When we were nearly done with the yukhoe and mungtigi, I wanted hot broth, so I ordered the Korean beef ramyeon (₩8,000) in the spicy version!

It doesn't seem like Shin Ramyun or Jin Ramen at all?! It was a totally different kind of spicy broth. Hot and spicy, and a perfect match for soju

My boyfriend mashed the blood pudding into it and ate it together 😮 He said it's delicious and told me to be sure to put that in ^_^

Is the crispy chive fritter a jeon or a tempura?

The crispy chive fritter (₩12,000) at Hampyeong Yukhoe Bangi Main Branch is more like fried chives than a jeon (Korean pan-fried pancake)?! It was super crispy with a thin batter.

The batter is thin but the amount of chives is crazy .. Thick and crunchy, one bite and you just keep going, so I basically had a chive feast.

After a very satisfying meal, when I went to pay, the counter had thoughtful little things like hair ties and toothbrushes. It's quietly annoying not to have a hair tie, so I was touched by the owner ••

Verdict: Hampyeong Yukhoe Bangi Main Branch, and get the uni

It's my first time eating mungtigi this chewy and fresh in Seoul! Even Tzuyang would come by here .. In this weather when you crave outdoor tables, Hampyeong Yukhoe Bangi Main Branch has them, so enjoy fresh mungtigi there. If you're going to eat it anyway, I especially recommend trying the uni too!!!
