Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap is a pork gukbap (pork and rice soup) restaurant on Cheonju-ro in Bukmyeon, Changwon, and has stood in the same spot for 10 years. A couple visited in the early evening and ordered the extra-large lean pork gukbap for 11,000 won, suyuk baekban (boiled pork platter with rice) for 13,000 won and dumplings for 6,000 won, and the table held enough food for three, with 8 large dumplings on the plate. Clean, milky broth with no gamy smell, free thin noodles at the self-serve bar and iced coffee on the way out make Myeongin Dwaeji Gukbap a genuine locals' favourite.

Inside there are about 20 wooden tables, plenty big enough for four people. I went for an early dinner so it was pretty quiet, but past 6pm it filled up fast with what looked like locals, in groups and with families.

## Honest review: extra-large lean pork gukbap, suyuk baekban and dumplings

Once we ordered, the side dishes came out first — really appetizing-looking kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) and kimchi, dried radish strips, seasoning sauces, chives, thin noodles, gangdoenjang (spicy soybean paste dip), and lettuce wraps — the basics were all done really well.

![Full table with gukbap, suyuk baekban, and dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu-13-y76ld-900.webp)

Ta-da, all our ordered menu items arrived🤍 With gukbap, suyuk baekban, and dumplings, the table was completely full — this was honestly enough food for three people.

### Extra-large lean pork gukbap

I ordered a large lean pork gukbap to share with my husband, and the milky broth looked seriously delicious, well-simmered.

![Lean pork gukbap broth topped with chive salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu-16-eajgk-900.webp)

It's barely seasoned, so you adjust it to your taste with salted shrimp, chili paste, or chives. I've been trying to eat lighter on salt these days, so I just added the chive salad, and it was just right.

The power of the large size... The moment I saw it, I wondered how we'd ever finish it all, they packed it so full! The key with gukbap is no gamy smell, and this really had none — eating it hot felt genuinely restorative.

Eating it with the crisp, well-fermented kkakdugi, my chopsticks wouldn't stop, and since there was so much lean pork, we even made wraps with gangdoenjang on top — and still had some left over.

### Suyuk baekban (boiled pork with rice)

My husband wanted both gukbap and suyuk, so he ordered the baekban set — turns out the regular gukbap already has quite a lot of lean pork in it too~ He's someone who seasons with salted shrimp, and after one bite he let out a real "kyah" of satisfaction haha.

![Plate of suyuk served with the baekban set](https://img.superchart.com/images/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu-20-d73uo-900.webp)

![Suyuk with a well-balanced ratio of fat and meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu-21-jbtzc-900.webp)

![Suyuk wrapped with bossam kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu/changwon-bukmyeon-salkogi-gukbap-mandu-22-1skn1-900.webp)

The suyuk that comes with it is really generous too — the fat-to-meat ratio was just right, moist and tender, great in wraps and paired perfectly with the bossam kimchi (kimchi for wrapped pork).

We were genuinely full, but I couldn't resist the noodles, so I dunked them in the hot broth and ate them up quickly~

### 8 large dumplings for 6,000 won

We were hungry and got a little greedy, ordering dumplings too — I truly didn't expect 8 big dumplings to show up. They were steamed just right, moist, and the meat filling was packed with juices — dipped in vinegar soy sauce, they were so good.
