Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch (비비삼 과천본점) is on Saesulmak-gil, about a six-minute walk from Government Complex Gwacheon Station. It was also in a convenient location to walk from Gwacheon Hillstate. ![Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch on Saesulmak-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-02-13nw5-966.webp) The address is 101, 1F, Taeyang Building, 10-13 Saesulmak-gil, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Since it is on the building's first floor, I did not need to take an elevator or climb stairs. The hours listed in the original post are daily 11:00–22:00, with last orders at 20:30. ![Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch on the building's first floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-03-10dtc-966.webp) ## What were the lunch wait and atmosphere like? There was a wait even though I visited at an in-between lunch hour. Fortunately, we were next in line, and tables turned over fairly quickly. The interior was clean and comfortable, and it felt like a casual Korean restaurant for a meal alone or with colleagues. ![Comfortable interior at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-04-1gfx6-966.webp) The restaurant was kept clean. Even as guests continued to arrive, the owner kindly explained how to order and participate in the event. ![Clean interior at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-05-p1haf-966.webp) ## How much are the bibimbap and tteokgalbi sets? The main dishes are Hwangdeung-style torim bibimbap, made by soaking the rice in broth, and hot-stone fish roe rice. At the time of my visit, vegetable bibimbap started at ₩9,000 and bulgogi bibimbap was ₩10,000. Octopus bibimbap and Korean beef yukhoe bibimbap were also available. ![Bibisam bibimbap and hot-stone fish roe rice menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-06-o429o-966.webp) ![Bibisam bibimbap individual and set menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-07-un9nd-966.webp) There were also sets pairing bibimbap with tteokgalbi, a grilled minced-meat patty, on a griddle. I could choose domestic pork or Korean beef tteokgalbi, and the Korean beef tteokgalbi was ₩6,500 à la carte. Bibimbap and Korean beef tteokgalbi sets started at ₩13,500, depending on the menu. ![Bibisam bibimbap and tteokgalbi set information](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-08-1ns19-966.webp) ## What is available at the self-service bar? There was a self-service bar on one side of the restaurant for water, soup, and side dishes. Along with clear soup and white kimchi, it had disposable aprons, dental floss, and mouthwash. ![Bibisam self-service bar for water and soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-09-1vi4u-966.webp) ![Bibisam self-service bar with side dishes and dining supplies](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-10-19ddw-966.webp) ## What did the bulgogi bibimbap and tteokgalbi taste like? I chose the octopus fish roe rice, while my companion chose bulgogi bibimbap, and we ordered one domestic pork and one Korean beef tteokgalbi set. Sharing them gave us a more varied meal, and both of us ate until we were full. ![Bibisam tteokgalbi set meal shared with a companion](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-11-152kf-966.webp) ![Tteokgalbi set with bibimbap and octopus fish roe rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-12-gjmer-966.webp) Hwangdeung-style bibimbap is prepared by soaking the rice in broth before adding the ingredients and seasoning. The seasoning had soaked between the grains of rice, so I did not need to mix it for long. ![Bibisam Hwangdeung-style bibimbap soaked in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-13-lslpi-966.webp) The bulgogi bibimbap had sweet bulgogi and vegetables, so I thought it would be a good choice when I did not want an overly intense flavor. Once mixed evenly, the bulgogi's sweetness went well with the fresh texture of the vegetables. ![Bibisam bibimbap with bulgogi and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-14-l3ynp-966.webp) ![Bulgogi bibimbap with seasoning soaked into the rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-15-1v1nq-966.webp) ![Bibimbap evenly mixed with bulgogi and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-16-10r8t-966.webp) The Korean beef tteokgalbi arrived on a warm griddle. With rice, vegetables, and meat, it made for a filling meal. ![Bibisam Korean beef tteokgalbi on a griddle with bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-17-87pnh-966.webp) ![Korean beef tteokgalbi served on a warm griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-18-1ygb5-966.webp) The Korean beef tteokgalbi was thick but not tough, and it was easy to eat with the soft-cooked egg on top. ![Thick Korean beef tteokgalbi with a soft-cooked egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-19-30oe1-966.webp) ## Was the hot-stone octopus fish roe rice filling enough? The hot-stone octopus fish roe rice and Korean beef tteokgalbi griddle set was listed in the original post at ₩16,500. The fish roe rice arrived in a hot stone bowl, so I could eat it warm through the end of the meal. ![Bibisam octopus fish roe rice in a hot stone bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-20-f5a2k-966.webp) The flying fish roe popped, while the octopus added chewiness. I was especially pleased that there was more octopus than I expected. For me, it was a sufficiently filling portion even without adding tteokgalbi. ![Bibisam hot-stone fish roe rice with octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-21-1yg4u-966.webp) I also mixed the spicy cockle salad I received through the review event into the fish roe rice. Its regular price listed in the original post was ₩6,000. The seafood tasted fresh, and adding the seaweed flakes later gave it more nuttiness and savory depth. ![Bibisam spicy cockle salad eaten with octopus fish roe rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-22-tl8nm-966.webp) ![Spicy cockle salad received through a review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-23-ud4jd-966.webp) ## What kind of lunch does it suit? I felt Bibisam suited a solo meal nearby or a relaxed Korean meal with colleagues or family. I would choose the hot-stone octopus fish roe rice for something spicy, or the bulgogi bibimbap for a milder flavor. The rice dishes alone were filling, and the tteokgalbi set was satisfying on days when I wanted meat alongside them. ![Filling lunch enjoyed at Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-24-6m8qv-966.webp) ## Where it is - Bibisam Gwacheon Main Branch (비비삼 과천본점) (비비삼 과천본점) - 101, 1F, 10-13 Saesulmak-gil, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 과천시 새술막길 10-13 1층 101호 - 37.4286993, 126.990907 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B9%84%EB%B9%84%EC%82%BC%20%EA%B3%BC%EC%B2%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4286993,126.990907,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@stainless-spoon/bibisam-gwacheon-bibimbap-lunch-10ca/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
