Today I visited Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang Bucheon Sinjung-dong Branch! It's famous as a Korean restaurant spot, so I really wanted to try it — not just the Korean set meals, grilled mackerel, soy sauce crab, charcoal-grilled pork, and dried corvina, but also the delicious rice and all-you-can-eat side dishes that keep bringing people back. Let me introduce this big restaurant, perfect for family gatherings! - Hours🕑 Daily 10:30–21:30 - Corkage allowed, free or paid - Group reservations available - All-you-can-eat - Parking available - Reservations available - Birthday perk – small birthday table with seaweed soup, with advance reservation ![Exterior of the Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang Sinjung-dong Branch building in Bucheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-01-1dncn-900.webp) ![The entrance area of Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang Sinjung-dong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-02-i40po-900.webp) Parking is very convenient and it's really close to Sinjungdong Station. There's even a café for after your meal on the first floor, which I think a lot of people will love! Coffee after a meal is a must, right👍 ![The first-floor café space for after meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-03-1rvi5-900.webp) ![Interior of the first floor of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-04-hajw2-900.webp) ![Entrance with the CatchTable waitlist kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-05-1y4ja-900.webp) ## How the CatchTable wait works, and the same-day-milled yellow rice Once you step inside, you'll see a CatchTable waitlist kiosk. It's such a popular restaurant that you may have to wait, so check the CatchTable app status before you visit. ✔️They're also running a Naver visitor review event, so it's worth joining — they give you a drink for it👏 ✔️And every morning, they mill the yellow rice themselves. Instead of regular white rice, they use yellow rice, which has more aroma, flavor and nutrition, and cook it fresh from that day's milling only. Rice is cooked in a pressure pot the moment an order comes in and served right away, so you get glossy grains, a nutty rice aroma, and a sticky texture, all fresh! Rice really can taste completely different depending on how it's made. ## Inside Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang: private rooms and seating The atmosphere is so cozy you'll want to stay a while!! It's an upscale Korean restaurant spanning three floors. The interior itself is a huge dining space, with plenty of seats and private rooms available, making it great for family gatherings, work dinners, friend meetups, and group get-togethers. The rooms are best used with a reservation, and I think older family members especially would love them — perfect for a 70th or 60th birthday celebration. Everyone loves a comfortable interior like this! ## Menu and prices: the 13,000-won Tteuranchae Bapsang is required per person ![Menu board for Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang's set meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-06-u5ov4-899.webp) ![Menu board listing single dishes and table setting prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-07-u2dp7-900.webp) The menu is really diverse! They offer set meals like dried corvina, soy sauce crab, charcoal-grilled pork, octopus, cockle salad, grilled mackerel and more, and if you don't want a full set meal, there are single dishes too! However, the 13,000-won Tteuranchae Bapsang per person is the base table charge, so it's required, and you add a single dish on top of that! The basic Tteuranchae Bapsang includes a warm pressure-cooked pot rice made that day from freshly milled yellow rice, savory cheonggukjang, and healthy side dishes made daily with fresh ingredients. For the quality of the Korean set meal, the price feels really reasonable〰️✔️ ![A display of elegantly packaged products](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-08-1odrf-900.webp) Even the packaging looked so classy! I really liked that about this place! ## Using the free-refill self-bar This was my first time at this kind of Korean restaurant, and being able to refill the basic side dishes as much as I wanted felt amazing! Salad, various namul (seasoned vegetables), fried eggplant, fried lotus root, young radish kimchi, japchae (glass noodle stir-fry), stir-fried potatoes, pickled vegetables — all these homestyle side dishes really won me over. For dessert there's plum tea and omija (schisandra berry) tea, and even the rice is unlimited~~ Both yellow rice and barley rice are available, so you can eat as much as you want without feeling self-conscious at Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae. ## What we ordered: 26,000 won set for two plus 18,000 won baby octopus stir-fry ![The ordered Tteuranchae Bapsang table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-09-1qtyc-900.webp) ![A full Korean set meal laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-10-1y0a1-900.webp) What I ordered at this Sinjung-dong spot was the Tteuranchae Bapsang for two at 26,000 won and one octopus stir-fry single dish at 18,000 won. Ordering just this much left me completely satisfied and full. ![A table with octopus stir-fry, pot rice, and cheonggukjang together](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-11-njhw1-900.webp) ![Freshly cooked yellow rice in a pressure pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-12-b4vth-900.webp) ![A Korean set table spread with 12 side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-13-11i9k-900.webp) Plentiful, neatly arranged side dishes, octopus stir-fry, pot rice, and cheonggukjang! All the dishes came out at once. The pot rice is hot, so be careful with your hands. The cheonggukjang looked really savory and delicious too. Even the cheonggukjang is refillable, so this really is a generous restaurant☺️ ![The spicy-sweet octopus stir-fry single dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-14-cz5ie-900.webp) The spicy-sweet octopus stir-fry came in a really generous portion! It's mild enough in spice and seasoning for anyone to enjoy. Not tough at all, not fishy at all — great quality octopus〰️ The combination with rice was so delicious I kept eating more! It's a real rice-thief pairing! I highly recommend trying the octopus stir-fry❤️ The table was really packed full, doesn't it look generous? It really is that generous and delicious, so if you're a big eater, you should definitely visit! ![Close-up of the generously loaded table](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-15-uziwa-900.webp) ![A meal scene with pot rice and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-16-10v9q-900.webp) ![Barley bibimbap made with namul side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-17-t8ufb-900.webp) ![Sungnyung (scorched rice tea) enjoyed at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-18-uxj5z-900.webp) The photos turned out so pretty too! If you want to treat someone special or you're looking for a healthy meal, remember Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang in Bucheon. As a Korean food lover, I came back completely won over👍 Pot rice made with same-day-milled rice has such a different depth of flavor! The freshly cooked pot rice tasted amazing, and since I love barley rice, mixing it with the namul into a barley bibimbap was the best🥲 I even finished off with sungnyung (scorched rice tea) properly. Guess I need a digestive after all that🤭 ### Set menus to try next time at Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang - Grilled dried corvina – top-grade Yeonggwang corvina naturally dried by the sea breeze in Beopseongpo, salted with sun-dried salt and steamed with turmeric, said to have a deep umami flavor - Soy sauce crab – Jeju yellow crab aged in a secret soy sauce recipe, keeping its freshness while maximizing umami, a real delicacy - Charcoal-grilled pork – domestic pork neck aged in a special marinade and grilled over charcoal, known for its rich smoky flavor and juiciness - Cockle salad – plump cockles tossed in a special sauce, balancing umami and spicy flavor - Grilled mackerel – top-grade Norwegian mackerel, carefully grilled for a clean, nutty flavor Gim Myeongju Tteuranchae Bapsang Sinjung-dong Branch in Bucheon has such a variety of menus that you'll be completely satisfied, so if you love Korean food, you really should visit👏👏 ![A corner of the restaurant displaying healthy snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-19-161gs-900.webp) ![Packaged snacks like barley crackers and pumpkin yakgwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-20-1ewhm-900.webp) ![A snack display stand next to the checkout counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable/bucheon-sinjungdong-hanjeongsik-jjukkumi-catchtable-21-qakt2-900.webp) ## Healthy snacks at the register and the first-floor café Near the checkout counter, they also sell healthy snacks that older family members would love!
