Definitely check this out if you visit — I won a 5th-place drink.

The seats have generous spacing too, making it a really pleasant spot for a Samseong-dong lunch or an evening get-together. ![Wood-toned interior seating at Obongjip Samseong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar-09-115uf-966.webp) A big company motto reading "Fill our customers up" hangs on the wall, and once you start eating you really feel that it's not just for show. ![Company motto 'Fill our customers up' on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar-10-11ki9-966.webp) Near the table there's a friendly guide on how to best enjoy the octopus stir-fry — a tip to drizzle sesame oil over rice and mix it with the octopus, seaweed flakes and bean sprouts for maximum flavor. ![Guide on how to enjoy the octopus stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar-11-9to8x-966.webp) ![Instruction card next to the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar-12-183k3-966.webp) ## Unlimited rice and seaweed soup self-bar One of the biggest perks here is the self-bar. You can help yourself to rice, hot seaweed soup, and basic side dishes as many times as you like, no hesitation needed. It's a real standout for value. ![Self-bar with rice and seaweed soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar-13-hzkza-966.webp) ![Basic side dish corner at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar-14-16anx-m-629.webp) ## The Nakji Obong Special — too much for two We ordered the signature menu, the Nakji Obong Special. We started eating as a pair and were shocked at how the table overflowed with food — plenty for three adults. ![Table overflowing with the Nakji Obong Special](https://img.superchart.com/images/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar-15-9lvr3-m-966.webp) ![Grilled octopus stir-fry, gabrisal bossam, and platter noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar-16-4erm0-966.webp) The Nakji Obong Special comes with grilled octopus stir-fry for two, pork belly bossam (boiled pork wrap), and platter-style cold buckwheat noodles. The octopus in the stir-fry was thick and plump, giving a satisfying chew, and the spicy-sweet smoky sauce soaked right through — perfect mixed with rice. The bossam made with gabrisal (pork shoulder blade meat) was tender and mild with no gamey taste, and it paired beautifully with the dried radish kimchi served alongside. The tangy-sweet platter noodles were also great wrapped up with the bossam — you just keep wanting more without getting tired of it. ![Plum tea dessert near the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar-17-2s5kh-901.webp) ### Dessert: plum tea After the meal, there's chilled plum tea waiting near the entrance for dessert. A sweet, cold cup after the spicy octopus stir-fry and bossam cleans up your palate nicely. ## Final thoughts and who it's for I'd recommend Obongjip Samseong Branch to anyone near Samseong or Samseong Jungang Station wanting a hearty, good-value meal. You get plump octopus, tender gabrisal bossam, and tangy noodles all in one sitting, plus unlimited rice and soup for a full, satisfying meal. ## Where it is - Obongjip Samseong Branch (오봉집 삼성점) - 62 Teheran-ro 81-gil, 1F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로81길 62 1층 오봉집 - 37.5105267, 127.0558633 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%B4%89%EC%A7%91%20%EC%82%BC%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%90/@37.5105267,127.0558633,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@tiled-dining-room/obongjip-samseong-nakji-special-self-bar/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
