The 27,000-won Masil course brought a Yulmu barley and cherry blossom porridge, conch salad, medicinal bossam, Masil tteokgalbi, and mushroom braised ribs, all mild in seasoning. It's a solid pick for family gatherings or parents' first meetings (sangyeonrye) with older relatives. ## Good to know - **Location**: 412 Nowon-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea, across from Sanggye Jugong Complex 6 near Nowon Station - **Parking**: Free parking available - **Lunch menu**: From 16,900 won - **Ordered**: Masil course, 27,000 won - **Seating**: Many tables, several private rooms, waiting area, central garden *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* Today I'm sharing my visit to Sutgarak Bansang Masil, a Nowon Station favorite for upscale Korean course meals — great for family gatherings or important occasions. ## Location and parking near Nowon Station Sutgarak Bansang Masil is located at 412 Nowon-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea, near Nowon Station and across from the Sanggye Jugong Complex 6 apartments.

This place has a hanok (traditional Korean house) feel right from the entrance, clean and upscale — it seemed like a great spot for family gatherings or a sangyeonrye (formal meeting between families before marriage) in Nowon :) ![Upscale-looking entrance view of the Korean course restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-03-n7d4q-900.webp) ![View around the entrance of Sutgarak Bansang Masil](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-04-cwq29-m-900.webp) The lunch menu starts at 16,900 won, which felt more reasonable than I expected. ![Lunch course menu posted at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-05-1gv3n-m-900.webp) ![Sign showing course prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-06-w77oq-900.webp) ![Notice board at the store entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-07-s0lf6-900.webp) ![Outside passage of Sutgarak Bansang Masil](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-08-973ba-900.webp) ![Path leading into the interior of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-09-1ri4o-900.webp) ## Rooms and garden inside the restaurant Let's step inside! There were plenty of tables and separate private rooms too. There were more rooms than I expected, which made me realize this is a place people often choose for sangyeonrye or family gatherings on important days. There's also a separate waiting area, and a small garden set up in the center — with green grass, various potted plants, a wooden bench, and even a cherry blossom tree, giving the whole place a surprisingly relaxed feel~! Apparently a lot of celebrities have visited here too, so it was fun looking around the place haha. I even spotted director Park Chan-wook's signature~~!! ![Interior tables and the central garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-10-1gvvm-900.webp) ![Indoor garden area with grass and potted plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-11-114y2-899.webp) ![Celebrity signatures on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-12-11tp6-900.webp) ## Ordering the 27,000-won Masil course Here's the menu! There were so many different Korean course options~~! After some thought, we went with the Masil course from the menu. It's not easy to cook a lot of Korean dishes from scratch at home normally, so being able to try many different Korean dishes at once, plus some upscale items, had me excited haha. ![Menu board for the Sutgarak Bansang Masil Korean course](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-13-xwr4k-900.webp) ### Yulmu barley and cherry blossom porridge, and orange butterfly salad The dishes started coming out~~! Even the name of the first dish, Yulmu barley and cherry blossom porridge, was so pretty. It was a gentle way to start, and next came the orange butterfly salad — fresh vegetables with a refreshing orange sauce. ![Yulmu barley and cherry blossom porridge with orange butterfly salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-14-17kcz-900.webp) ### Conch salad (sora chohoe naengchae) Isn't the conch salad so pretty~?! It's savory, clean-tasting conch served with konjac jelly and lotus root, tossed with a sauce — tangy yet refreshing! ![Conch salad with konjac jelly](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-15-gcv4a-900.webp) ![Close-up of the salad plate with lotus root](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-16-1rkuj-900.webp) ![A course dish from the Korean meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-17-4lpb2-900.webp) ### Medicinal bossam, Masil tteokgalbi, and mushroom braised ribs On top of that, there was japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) loaded with meat, shrimp fritters, and vegetable fritters, plus the Masil course's signature dishes — medicinal bossam (herb-boiled pork wraps), Masil tteokgalbi (short rib patties), and nutritious mushroom braised ribs — so much came out that it really felt like the table was overflowing. ![Japchae loaded with meat and fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-18-14jjs-900.webp) ![Medicinal bossam and Masil tteokgalbi from the Masil course](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-19-14tq9-900.webp) ![A bowl of nutritious mushroom braised ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-20-1c61h-900.webp) Best of all, the side dishes overall were clean and not too strongly seasoned. There wasn't much heavily salted or spicy food, so I think older family members could eat comfortably too! The bossam was soft rather than tough, and I was especially surprised the braised ribs were tender enough to shred along the grain when I expected them to be a bit chewy! The tteokgalbi also tasted like it had plenty of meat in it. ![Red yeast rice and doenjang stew table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-21-1feoy-900.webp) ![Side dishes served with the rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-22-1rgju-900.webp) ### Finishing with red yeast rice and doenjang stew Finally, rice made with red yeast rice, doenjang stew (soybean paste stew), and side dishes to go with the rice~~!! All this comes for 27,000 won! The biggest strength of Sutgarak Bansang Masil, in my opinion, is that even as an upscale Korean course restaurant, the price isn't too heavy~~! :) Once I actually ate, every single dish tasted great and was plated with so much care that it honestly would've been fine even at a higher price hahaha. ![Carefully plated full spread of the Masil course](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-23-199xf-900.webp) On top of that, they say they don't use artificial seasoning, prepare seasonal table settings, and cook fresh food for guests every day. Maybe that's why each dish felt clean and refined. ![Table setting after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room-24-2uvpg-900.webp) ## How it was as a spot for family gatherings and sangyeonrye in Nowon Sutgarak Bansang Masil seems like a solid choice whether you're looking for a place to take your parents in Nowon, a spot for family gatherings, or a Nowon sangyeonrye venue where atmosphere matters too. I got to try a wide variety of premium Korean dishes at a reasonable price, so I'm planning to come back again with my family :) ## Where it is - Sutgarak Bansang Masil (숟가락반상 마실) - 412 Nowon-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 노원구 노원로 412 - 37.653466, 127.0680289 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%9F%EA%B0%80%EB%9D%BD%EB%B0%98%EC%83%81%20%EB%A7%88%EC%8B%A4/@37.653466,127.0680289,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@through-restaurant-doors-3/nowon-hanjeongsik-masil-family-room/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
