There's a large parking lot right in front, so you don't need to worry about parking...! ![Entrance of Neul Gogi Jip and the large parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-02-jhmvl-900.webp) ## An Icheon meat restaurant lined with Korean-food master awards Countless certificates and plaques that seem to certify this as a true Icheon meat restaurant... Blue Ribbon is just the baseline — they've received all kinds of awards, including Korean-food master chef titles. ![Korean-food master certificates and plaques displayed at Neul Gogi Jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-03-172p4-900.webp) This is a restaurant that has researched meat for over 30 years. Out of all the restaurants I've visited, this one has the most awards — just reading the certificate names was fun. lol ![Award records and plaques displayed in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-04-l7dxy-m-900.webp) ![Display showing 30 years of meat research at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-05-1ha7e-900.webp) ![Snacks and hwangmi-narak rice sold at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-06-10ghy-900.webp) They also sell various snacks, wild yam broth for seasoning, and hwangmi-narak rice ingredients. There were even feminine lace handkerchiefs for sale, haha. ![Corner selling wild yam seasoning broth and lace handkerchiefs](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-07-1vrj1-m-900.webp) Even the water at this Korean-food master ssambap restaurant in Jinri-dong, Icheon is mineral spring water — I thought, this is on a completely different level from a typical Icheon restaurant. ![Mineral spring water served at Neul Gogi Jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-08-mknm6-900.webp) ![View of the main dining hall at Neul Gogi Jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-09-9zeme-900.webp) ## How long is the weekend wait at Neul Gogi Jip? My family visited on a weekend, so of course there was a wait. But there's a separate lounge where you can wait it out!! You can even enjoy ice cream and coffee in the waiting area. ![Waiting lounge with ice cream and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-10-4a8vu-900.webp) ## Private rooms for family meals in Icheon If you're looking for an Icheon meat restaurant with rooms, or a Jinri-dong meat restaurant with rooms, this is a great place to visit. The interior has a nice atmosphere too, and there are private rooms set aside so you can enjoy the space privately~~ ![Private room seating for a more private dining experience](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-11-60936-900.webp) There's even a spot in the middle of the restaurant where you can enjoy unlimited refills of vegetables...!! ![Self-serve wrap-vegetable bar in the middle of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-12-14m1v-900.webp) ![Fresh vegetables and greens on the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-13-14xm8-900.webp) I took a photo of the self-serve bar set up in the middle of the restaurant. It's full of all kinds of fresh vegetables and greens, perfect for wrapping into ssambap (wrap rice). ## Neul Ssambap Set price and the weekend lunch special The menu at this Korean-food master ssambap restaurant in Jinri-dong, Icheon covers both ssambap and grilled meat — I filmed a video of the various menu items. ![Menu display showing ssambap and grilled meat options](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-14-1ov7d-900.webp) Of course~~ there's also a menu board where you can see everything at a glance. ![Menu board with ssambap and meat dishes at Neul Gogi Jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-15-idfck-1200.webp) We visited as a party of three and ordered three Neul Ssambap Sets!!! The Neul Ssambap Set is ₩16,900 per person. A big advantage of this Korean-food master ssambap restaurant in Jinri-dong, Icheon is that the lunch special is available even on weekends. So you can eat at a relatively affordable price until 2:30pm. ![Table setting for three orders of the Neul Ssambap Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-16-1bt40-900.webp) ## Hwangmi pot rice and side dishes: which was the best? What I enjoyed most was honestly the rice. I know you might think all cooked rice tastes about the same, but I can say for certain it was on a completely different level. Even the meat-eaters should try the hwangmi pot rice!!!! The rice grains were so chewy and glossy that they were delicious even on their own... ❤️ That's when I officially declared this the best ssambap restaurant in Jinri-dong, Icheon!!! Korean-food master chef status confirmed. ![Glossy hwangmi pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-17-lhjry-900.webp) You can wrap the meat in fresh vegetable wraps too!!!! And the big advantage is that you can get unlimited refills of all kinds of vegetables. Eating it with the tasty side dishes made me feel even healthier. ![Wrapping grilled meat in fresh vegetable wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-18-4jy11-900.webp) ![Side dishes served with the ssambap set](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-19-hsvln-900.webp) There's a beef tendon doenjang (soybean paste) stew, and I was shocked at how much beef was packed into it!!!! ![Beef tendon doenjang stew packed with beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-20-1kst8-900.webp) ![Savory doraji (bellflower root) namul side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-21-176k4-900.webp) The doraji (bellflower root) namul left the biggest impression~~ This was the first place I've had it without that sharp, tingly doraji flavor — just deeply savory and delicious...! All the side dishes were tasty, and even my parents loved this Icheon ssambap restaurant. ![Nutty nurungji (scorched rice) served after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch-22-3dqjc-900.webp) The rice was definitely delicious, but the nurungji (scorched rice) made from that same rice was noticeably even nuttier. I really want to come back again to this Korean-food master ssambap restaurant in Jinri-dong, Icheon!!!! ## Where it is - Neul Gogi Jip Icheon Main Branch (늘고기집 이천본점) - 2541 Gyeongchung-daero, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 이천시 경충대로 2541 - 37.273634, 127.4506 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8A%98%EA%B3%A0%EA%B8%B0%EC%A7%91%20%EC%9D%B4%EC%B2%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.273634,127.4506,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@taste-for-clothes/icheon-jinri-dong-ssambap-weekend-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
