I had the spicy pork set for two for ₩35,000 with gondre rice, vegetable side dishes, cheonggukjang, and smoky fire-grilled pork. Verdict: Ask for less spice for a satisfying family meal. ## Good to know - **Parking**: Dedicated parking for about 50 cars - **Menu**: Gondre spicy pork set for 2 - **Price**: ₩35,000 - **Facilities**: Baby chairs available - **Extras**: An in-store café, plus a short walking path and rest area beside the restaurant *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* When I’m looking for somewhere to eat in Gwangmyeong, I often check out Bamil Village. There are lots of good restaurants gathered here, with spacious dining rooms and parking that make them great for family meals. Since even mountaineers come here, I guess there are bound to be plenty of good places to eat! This time, I visited Maehwa Gondeurebap Gwangmyeong Bamil Village Branch (매화곤드레밥 광명밤일마을점), a Korean restaurant in Gwangmyeong with wholesome, filling side dishes and menu options parents would enjoy, while still being easy to visit with children. The spicy stir-fried pork had a real fire-grilled flavor, and it went so well with the assorted vegetable side dishes, gondre rice, and cheonggukjang. Here’s my honest review of Maehwa Gondeurebap. ![A full meal of spicy stir-fried pork and gondre rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-01-16n6b-1200.webp) ## Basic Information and What We Ordered There is a dedicated parking lot for around 50 cars, so you can visit comfortably without worrying about parking. ![매화곤드레밥 전용 주차장](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-02-1yulh-750.webp) I was deciding what to have with the gondre rice, and since I was craving something spicy that day, I chose the spicy pork. The green onion bulgogi looked delicious too, and looking around at other tables, I noticed many people ordering the braised pollock as an à la carte dish. > Gondre spicy pork set for 2: ₩35,000 ## Restaurant Atmosphere ### Outside the Restaurant ![Exterior of Maehwa Gondeurebap in Bamil Village](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-03-bo5m8-900.webp) ![Restaurant exterior in a quiet location](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-04-vie6m-900.webp) ![Outdoor area at Maehwa Gondeurebap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-05-bu4b4-900.webp) ![Exterior of the Bamil Village Korean restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-06-1smfj-900.webp) Maehwa Gondeurebap sits in the highest, quietest part of Bamil Village. There is not only a restaurant but also a café inside, which looked great because you can have coffee or another drink for dessert after your meal without going anywhere else. ![The restaurant café for use after a meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-07-j71k3-900.webp) There is a short walking path beside the restaurant, along with a nicely arranged area to sit and rest. Maybe because the weather has been pleasantly cool lately, quite a few families were sitting at the outdoor tables and chairs, chatting warmly together. ### Inside the Restaurant ![Spacious restaurant interior for family meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-08-1m8yl-900.webp) ![Dining area with baby chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-09-18ews-900.webp) ![Spacious seating inside the Korean restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-10-1kjcs-900.webp) The restaurant is spacious and geared toward family meals, with baby chairs available too. Since the main dishes are not soup-based, there are hardly any dishes that come bubbling away or extremely hot, so it seems like an easy Gwangmyeong restaurant to visit with children. ## Spicy Stir-Fried Pork and the Side Dishes ![Basic side-dish spread for the stir-fried pork set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-11-1mt07-900.webp) A variety of basic side dishes comes out, including anchovies, water parsley, bean sprouts, kimchi, seasoned bellflower root, roasted seaweed, and salad. ![Basic side dishes with anchovies and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-12-x99mj-750.webp) I usually love gondre rice and vegetable side dishes, but making all of them myself is such a hassle. It is wonderful when eating out lets you enjoy lots of healthy foods so conveniently. ![A variety of healthy side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-13-wh2m8-750.webp) ![Side dishes served with the gondre rice set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-14-1hj4k-750.webp) There was a reason the staff member asked, “Would you like us to make it less spicy?” when we ordered the main side dish, stir-fried pork. Along with its fire-grilled flavor, it was spicy enough to make your mouth tingle 😇 If you are visiting with children or do not handle spicy food well, I definitely!! recommend ordering it less spicy. ## How I Enjoyed the Gondre Rice ![Pot rice generously filled with gondre](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-15-1gr0x-900.webp) ![Nutty, fragrant gondre rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-16-1035j-900.webp) There is so much gondre in it that you cannot even see the rice. As I stirred it around, a nutty aroma and the scent of gondre spread out. ![Portioning out the gondre pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-17-13sa1-900.webp) ![Gondre pot rice for making sungnyung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-18-ped7u-900.webp) After portioning out the pot rice, I poured in hot water to make sungnyung (scorched-rice tea). ![Soy sauce seasoning served with gondre rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-19-18dlo-900.webp) The soy sauce seasoning served alongside it is delicious. Its fragrant, nutty flavor just bursts out. I quickly mixed it into the gondre rice and took a bite, and it was so good that I was genuinely surprised. ![Gondre rice mixed with soy sauce seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-20-18kt7-900.webp) ![Gondre rice paired with cheonggukjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-21-12c2p-900.webp) You can enjoy the gondre rice in lots of ways: mixed with the tangy, nutty cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew), or alongside soybean paste soup. ![A bite of fire-grilled stir-fried pork and gondre rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa-22-5h4kg-900.webp) Healthy gondre rice with spicy, fire-grilled pork makes for a truly delicious bite. I had a full spicy stir-fried pork meal at Maehwa Gondeurebap, a Bamil Village Korean restaurant. Enjoying the spicy pork alongside the fragrant gondre rice and assorted side dishes made for a delicious, filling meal that felt wholesome too. Beyond the pork, the beef bulgogi and webfoot octopus sound tempting, so if I have a meal with my parents to plan, I think this would be a lovely place to return and treat them to a healthy meal. ## Where it is - Maehwa Gondeurebap Gwangmyeong Bamil Village Branch (매화곤드레밥 광명밤일마을점) (매화곤드레밥 광명밤일마을점) - 63 Bamil-ro, Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 광명시 밤일로 63 매화곤드레밥 광명밤일마을점 - 37.4525153, 126.8573334 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%A4%ED%99%94%EA%B3%A4%EB%93%9C%EB%A0%88%EB%B0%A5%20%EA%B4%91%EB%AA%85%EB%B0%A4%EC%9D%BC%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%84%EC%A0%90/@37.4525153,126.8573334,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@the-dinner-hour/gwangmyeong-gondeurebap-spicy-jeyuk-maehwa/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
