Tired after a fitting for formal wear, the writer ordered the Korean beef bulgogi hot pot for two plus two bowls of rice, then packed the complimentary morning bread with bulgogi, cheese and gat (mustard leaf) pickles for a homemade burger, and melted the leftover cheese over the last of the bulgogi. With wide tables and private rooms, Dongchuwon Bulgogi suits family gatherings or a meal out with parents. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–21:30 (last order 20:30) - **Closed**: Holidays and the day after - **Parking**: Seonjeong parking lot across from the restaurant — 1 hour 30 minutes free with a cooked dish, 30 minutes with a meal - **What we ordered**: Korean beef bulgogi hot pot for two + 2 bowls of rice - **Set includes**: 300g bulgogi + naengmyeon (cold noodles) to finish + omija (schisandra berry) tea, minimum 2 people - **Set perk**: Discounted flame-grilled squid and Korean beef minari yukhoe (raw beef with water dropwort) with a set order - **Seating**: Mostly large tables, private rooms available / kids' meals on hand - **Water served**: Heotgae (Japanese raisin tree) water *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* Incheon bulgogi hot pot spot 🥩 Dongchuwon Bulgogi (동추원불고기) 🥩 ![Table spread of Korean beef bulgogi hot pot at Dongchuwon Bulgogi in Hagik-dong, Incheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-01-x35rz-1200.webp) OPEN daily 11:30–21:30 (last order 20:30) / closed on the holiday and the day after.

Dongchuwon Bulgogi is in Hagik-dong, Michuhol-gu, Incheon, near Sinjang Market! Today I dragged my tired body here after going to get my boyfriend's tuxedo fitted — figured I'd get some bulgogi hot pot to recharge before the wedding, haha 😋 ![Entrance to Dongchuwon Bulgogi near Sinjang Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-02-yi2v2-966.webp) I went the week before a holiday, and apparently they're only closed on the holiday itself and the day after, haha (they've got both Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon certifications too!) From the entrance it already felt upscale! So I thought this would be a great spot to bring my parents. The inside is really spacious, with wide tables set up for family groups, haha. There were guests seated further inside so I couldn't get a photo, but they do have private rooms! It looked perfect for gatherings (and sure enough, there were a lot of family groups and get-togethers when we visited). ## Menu: cooked dishes at Dongchuwon Bulgogi ![Dongchuwon Bulgogi hot pot menu board, Korean beef bulgogi and Korean beef restorative hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-03-1qbur-966.webp) Here's the menu! The mains are Korean beef bulgogi, old-style bulgogi, and Korean beef restorative hot pot ✨ Both the Korean beef bulgogi and old-style bulgogi have set options too. ## Menu: rice and noodle meals There's a good variety of meal dishes too! ![Dongchuwon Bulgogi meal menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-04-1bxbb-966.webp) You order through the kiosk! You can add extra bulgogi individually. ![Kiosk screen for ordering bulgogi at Dongchuwon Bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-05-1g6h7-966.webp) The set can be ordered for 2 or more people ✔️ Bulgogi 300g + dessert naengmyeon + dessert omija tea. Note that ordering the set gets you a discounted price on the grilled squid and Korean beef minari yukhoe! ![Set for two composition sign at Dongchuwon Bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-06-1pve5-966.webp) Definitely want to try the Korean beef restorative hot pot next time! If you're bringing kids to a family gathering, they've got a kids' meal ready too, haha. ![Kids' meal menu sign at Dongchuwon Bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-07-bmgob-966.webp) ![Side dish menu sign at Dongchuwon Bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-08-18nlh-966.webp) ![Extra noodle sari menu sign at Dongchuwon Bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-09-3w4gq-966.webp) ![Additional menu board at Dongchuwon Bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-10-40i82-966.webp) You can also add extra side dishes or noodle sari, so pick whatever you like ❤️ Oh, and it wasn't plain water but heotgae water, which made me so happy I kept drinking it. Places that give you barley tea or heotgae water are rare..💗 ## What we ordered, and the side dishes that come with it > Ordered ✔️ Korean beef bulgogi hot pot for two + 2 bowls of rice ![Korean beef bulgogi hot pot for two with rice, basic table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-11-10p6s-966.webp) ![Table set with basic side dishes at Dongchuwon Bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-12-j276w-966.webp) When you order the bulgogi, a full spread of basic side dishes shows up, and they're all delicious..🤎 ![Assortment of default vegetables including white tremella mushroom and bok choy](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-13-skiwk-966.webp) The vegetables that come as default! White tremella mushroom, king oyster mushroom, sweet pumpkin, bok choy, enoki mushroom, and even wide glass noodles — all packed in together! The gat (mustard leaf) pickles were good enough to make me want to come back just for these! True to the name, it's really got that gat kick.. so tasty. Even better eaten with the bulgogi. ![Morning bread set and gat pickles for making a bulgogi burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-14-16uw0-966.webp) Unusually, they gave us a set of morning bread rolls, which turned out to be so we could make our own bulgogi burgers! (I'll share the hack later.) And there was even salad! The yuzu flavor was refreshingly tangy, so great as an appetizer, haha. ![Self-bar with extra side dishes at Dongchuwon Bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-15-rs5di-966.webp) There's a self-bar too, so if the basic side dishes run low, go use the self-bar! (Garlic, chili peppers, and ssamjang all ready to go!) ## How do you eat the Korean beef bulgogi hot pot for two? Dongchuwon Bulgogi's Korean beef bulgogi for two comes piled up like a mountain with scallions! There were instructions on how to eat it right next to the pot, but definitely try my combo too..😋❤️ First, pile the mountain of bulgogi on top! (Don't pile this much at once, do it a little at a time lol) Grill a moderate amount, then eat it shabu-style. There's broth poured on one side of the pan for shabu-style eating — we grilled the meat on the pan side and cooked the vegetables in the broth side, haha. This is how the meat grills up while the vegetables bubble away nicely, haha. Once the meat is grilled just enough, dip it into the broth shabu-style — it comes out way more tender! ## The best trick: a morning bread bulgogi burger with gat pickles Using the morning bread rolls that came as default to make a bulgogi burger! They give you sauce and cheese on the side too, haha. Spread plenty of sauce on the bread first. ![Spreading sauce on morning bread to make a bulgogi burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-16-135am-966.webp) Then pile on the cooked bulgogi and lots of cheese, and — my key point — definitely add the gat pickles!! The morning bread has a rich buttery smell that goes so well with the bulgogi, it was so so so so.. so so good..💛💛💛 ![Morning bread bulgogi burger with cheese and gat pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-17-1798x-966.webp) And the bulgogi cooked nicely with the vegetables — ![Korean beef bulgogi cooked together with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-18-6cudg-966.webp) — eaten with the default pickled onions is also amazing..✨ ![A piece of bulgogi eaten with pickled onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-19-1njmh-966.webp) We were eating so happily that we immediately piled on a second round of bulgogi (the portion is really huge.. we were seriously stuffed just the two of us). ![Second round of Korean beef bulgogi added to the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-20-1s0gh-966.webp) I love cooked vegetables, so the white tremella mushroom + scallion + bulgogi combo was so good too! The mushroom's texture made it even better, haha. After eating for a while, we added the glass noodles a bit later! And the thing that pairs best with bulgogi — plain rice! Rice + bulgogi + gat pickles, highly recommend this combo too ✨ The flavors you already know are the best, right? ![Rice paired with bulgogi and gat pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-21-mz2kd-966.webp) We had leftover cheese from making the burgers, so for the last round of bulgogi we piled all the remaining cheese on top and made cheese bulgogi! ![Cheese bulgogi topped with leftover cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-22-ouoii-966.webp) Cheese bulgogi is truly the perfect flavor, so if you have any leftovers, definitely put cheese on top💛 ![Bulgogi finished off with melted cheese on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-23-18xzv-966.webp) ## Dessert course and Dongchuwon Bulgogi meal kits And on the way out, there was even ice cream for dessert! Such a proper recharge-and-delicious dinner💛 ![Suyuk seoji tang and bulgogi meal kits for sale at Dongchuwon Bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger-24-122i0-966.webp) On our way out I noticed they also sell suyuk seoji tang (boiled beef and beef tendon soup) and bulgogi meal kits! Would make a great holiday gift if you buy a few packs, haha. ## Where it is - Dongchuwon Bulgogi (동추원불고기) - 67 Hagikso-ro, Michuhol-gu, Incheon, South Korea, 1F - 인천광역시 미추홀구 학익소로 67 1층 동추원불고기 - 37.4417389, 126.670708 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%99%EC%B6%94%EC%9B%90%EB%B6%88%EA%B3%A0%EA%B8%B0/@37.4417389,126.670708,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-soup-route/incheon-hagik-bulgogi-cheese-bun-burger/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
