Is parking free at Bueokgan Chinese Marine City Branch?

For this Marine City favorite, you can use the building's parking lot!! They give you a parking ticket, and you just get it stamped after your meal. Free parking was possible for up to 1.5 hours.

The parking lot was a bit tight, but there were open spots, and since there's staff around, getting help with parking didn't seem hard.

Where is the entrance, and is there an elevator?

The entrance was a little tricky to find. If you walk out of the parking lot and a bit further, the sign comes into view! It was easier to spot once you were outside the parking lot.

Once inside, there were stairs right away!!! Thankfully there was also an elevator. It's only the 2nd floor so it's close, but when you've got a baby with you, an elevator is a must, haha.

Partitioned sea-view seats that suit a baby

Step off the elevator and Bueokgan Chinese Marine City Branch is right there.

The dining hall is so pretty, right?? It's clean and tidy overall, so it really seemed like a great spot to treat someone to a meal. And the view is gorgeous too.

There were also decently sized rooms, and the seats were partitioned booth by booth, which made me even happier. When you've got a baby with you, it's kind of nice to have them semi-enclosed like this to eat comfortably, lol. Anyway, it felt private while still having that sea view, which I liked.

The rooms were decorated so they didn't feel cramped either, so it would work fine for group guests too.

The view right next to the table was amazing too! Sometimes a boat passes by out on the water, and the baby loved watching it, haha. Perfect for grabbing her attention for a bit here and there!!

What two adults and one baby ordered at Bueokgan

We ordered black beef sirloin tangsuyuk (deep-fried sweet and sour pork, small), beef brisket jjamppong rice (spicy seafood noodle soup over rice), jjajangmyeon (noodles in black bean sauce), and a bowl of rice — two adults and a baby ate completely full. It made me think you could honestly just order one noodle dish and get it in a large size and still be set.

Beef brisket jjamppong rice, 12,000 won

Spicy jjamppong for the first time in a while!!! This is the jjamppong rice at Marine City favorite Bueokgan Chinese, absolutely loaded with beef brisket. It was also packed with vegetables, which I love.

The portion was really-really big too. No matter how much I ate, the amount didn't seem to go down, lol. Plenty of brisket, and just the right amount of spicy — solid.

Jjajangmyeon, 8,000 won

The dishes at Marine City favorite Bueokgan Chinese seem to be generously portioned across the board. The jjajangmyeon was no exception, lol.

It had been a while since I'd had jjajangmyeon, and this one was tasty too. Especially proud to see how well the baby ate it.

Since it was my first jjajangmyeon in a while too, I enjoyed it a lot.

Black vinegar sirloin tangsuyuk (small), 28,000 won

Last up, the tangsuyuk!!! Ah! Overall, the food came out pretty fast. We didn't wait long, and the dishes came out together rather than one at a time, which made things easier both for photos and for eating.

The tangsuyuk came topped with plenty of onion. The jjamppong and jjajangmyeon were tasty too, but for me the tangsuyuk was number one!! Chewy texture, and no gamey meat smell at all.

The tangsuyuk truly passed with flying colors! The sauce had just the right tang, pairing so well with the tangsuyuk. If you go to Bueokgan Chinese, definitely, definitely try the tangsuyuk.

There are so many good restaurants in Marine City, but this was my review of Bueokgan Chinese Marine City Branch — a great spot both for going out with a baby and for treating someone to a meal :)
