Arriving at sunset with her elementary-school daughter, the writer ordered pepperoni pizza, shrimp rosé pasta and Kung Pao chicken pilaf, and found the wood-fired pizza clean-tasting rather than greasy. Between the vintage classic hotel interior inspired by the Titanic's ballroom and the food, Bueokgan Sangmu Branch gets both atmosphere and flavour right. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 25 Seogwangju-ro, Seo-gu, Gwangju - **Hours**: 11:00–22:00 (last order 21:00) - **Break time**: 16:00–16:30 - **Closed**: Open daily - **Good to know**: Groups welcome, takeout available - **Ordered**: Pepperoni pizza, shrimp rosé pasta, Kung Pao chicken pilaf *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ![Cover photo of Bueokgan Sangmu Branch in Gwangju's Sangmu district](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-01-1dcpg-m-1200.webp) Sangmu brunch, Sangmu pasta, Gwangju pasta.

Places like this just naturally put you in a good mood — happiness dopamine included, haha. ![Interior decorated with vintage furniture](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-09-vqhkj-966.webp) ![Interior with round tables and lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-10-1peac-966.webp) All the vintage furniture and decor at this Gwangju restaurant were imported directly from the UK, France, and Italy.

A Sangmu restaurant well worth visiting if you're serious about interiors and furniture. ![Vintage decor styling at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-11-rcyy4-966.webp) ![Decor pieces directly imported from Europe](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-12-ptizp-966.webp) There's real joy just in browsing the little decor pieces ^^ ![Interior of Bueokgan Sangmu Branch at sunset](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-13-hgxmc-966.webp) ![Window-side atmosphere at dusk](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-14-quniy-966.webp) As the sunset falls, the atmosphere at this Sangmu pasta restaurant just ripens.

Baked in a wood-fired oven, it's not greasy at all — light and clean. Bueokgan's pizza sits easy on the stomach and doesn't feel heavy. Eaten with a bit of Tabasco sauce and pickles, it's so good ^^ ![Pickles and Tabasco sauce served with the pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-17-xf4ky-966.webp) As a side note, Bueokgan's pickles are seriously, seriously delicious ㅠㅠ ![A slice of pepperoni pizza piled high with toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-18-1uto0-966.webp) Thank you, chef, for being so generous with the ingredients!

This was also chosen by my two-months-along princess! When a food-savvy elementary schooler picks the menu, it almost never disappoints ~ We ate it up happily ^^ ### Kung Pao chicken pilaf ![Kung Pao chicken pilaf topped with oven-roasted chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-20-1nejk-966.webp) Salty, spicy, and a fan favorite at Bueokgan — the Kung Pao chicken pilaf. An Asian-style fried rice where oven-roasted chicken pairs beautifully with Kung Pao sauce. If you're someone who has to have rice at a meal, this is the dish for you. ![Dishes laid out on the table at Bueokgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-21-12e46-966.webp) ![Decor pieces and table setting at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter/buukgan-sangmu-sunset-dinner-with-daughter-22-12tuf-966.webp) ## Is Bueokgan Sangmu Branch worth it for both looks and taste?
