## In short

Madang Itneun Jip is a 100% reservation-only ginseng hanjeongsik (Korean set meal) restaurant on Ddeutdammal-gil in Geumsan-eup, Geumsan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. After a night at Maninsan Natural Recreation Forest, a booking for the four-person ginseng set meal at 50,000 won per person brought out 21 dishes, including braised radish with red ginseng, ginseng tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties) and soy-marinated crab, all cooked without chemical seasoning and with no heavy feeling afterwards. For a proper Korean set meal in Geumsan, Madang Itneun Jip is worth booking ahead.

Madang Itneun Jip is a Geumsan restaurant famous for its Korean set meal, carefully laid out with 21 dishes made using organic, chemical-free seasoning.

I was staying a night at Maninsan Natural Recreation Forest and looking for a place to eat nearby when I heard there was a proper Geumsan set meal restaurant, so I went to check it out haha. I booked half excited, half nervous, but when the food came out my jaw dropped haha. Let me write honestly based on what I actually tasted and felt :) If you're looking for a solid meal in Geumsan, stick with me to the end~!! haha

## The hanok-style exterior and how the reservation-only system works

Madang Itneun Jip runs on a 100% reservation-only system, so they say there may be no seats if you show up without booking. I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm before your visit!

After parking in front and getting a closer look, the exterior had a warm, hanok-style feel. True to its name (madang means 'courtyard'), a courtyard came into view right as I walked in, and it looked like outdoor dining was possible too. I thought it would be nice to eat out there once the weather cools down.

I heard this Geumsan restaurant was featured on Baek Jong-won's Sikgaek Baekban Gihaeng and 6 O'clock My Hometown, and I figured it's been on TV multiple times because of how serious they are about organic ingredients.

The interior had a simple, cozy, countryside-house feel. There are 9 tables plus 3 separate rooms, seating about 70 people total.

![Basic side dishes set out for a 4-person reservation](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-09-1y4d3-900.webp)

We booked the ginseng set meal for 4 people at 11am, and basic side dishes were already laid out when we arrived. Once we sat down, food kept coming out non-stop until about 21 dishes covered the table.

The owner personally explained the menu, saying every dish is made without chemical seasoning and uses over 70% organic ingredients. Sauces are made in-house, rice is cooked with organic rice, and it's unlimited refills. You could really feel the pride behind the food, and since there was no chemical seasoning, there was no bloated feeling afterward~!! All 21 dishes we ate that day came from that same care.

They also had baby chairs, so families with kids would be comfortable too.

### Side dishes and the signature red ginseng braised radish

![Ginseng rice and neatly arranged basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-11-1mitb-900.webp)

![Soybean paste perilla leaf salad, ginseng salad, and baek-kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-12-17v1g-900.webp)

From ginseng rice to soybean paste perilla leaf salad, ginseng salad, baek-kimchi (white kimchi), crab salad, and pickled land-dropwort, the basic side dishes were neat and well made.

![Winter radish braised for 10 hours in red ginseng](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-13-1wrh6-900.webp)

The house's signature dish especially stood out — organic winter radish from Jeju simmered in red ginseng for 10 hours. The moment it hit my mouth, red ginseng aroma burst out followed by a subtle sweetness, and I kept reaching for more. It's amazing that something with zero seasoning could taste this deep. 😋

![Fruit salad topped with shine muscat grapes and figs](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-14-1madg-900.webp)

The salad had shine muscat grapes, banana, fig, dragon fruit, and dried tomato, topped with an organic hallabong (Korean citrus) dressing.

### Neungi mushroom soup, cheonggukjang and soy-marinated crab

![A bowl of spicy neungi mushroom soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-15-1wn5f-900.webp)

![A savory pot of cheonggukjang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-16-1utbk-900.webp)

There were two soups — neungi mushroom soup and cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew). The neungi mushroom soup looked clear so I assumed it would be mild, but the moment I took a spoonful, a spicy kick hit hard, and the hot broth infused with mushroom aroma running down was exactly the reason to eat this~!! The cheonggukjang was mild yet so savory it was deeply satisfying.

![A plate of hearty grilled yellow croaker](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-17-u95y2-900.webp)

![Soy-marinated crab with marinated abalone and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-18-ikh52-900.webp)

A hearty grilled yellow croaker also came out, along with soy-marinated crab that wasn't salty, plus marinated abalone and shrimp — the soy sauce looked dark but wasn't salty, and had a savory depth that I figured came from all the care put into it. 👍

![Steamed eggplant topped with paprika and onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-19-wyiim-900.webp)

The steamed eggplant, done Mediterranean-style, was topped with paprika and onion, and had a memorable, refreshing wine-based dressing.

![A plate of four-color namul side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-20-1kejt-900.webp)

![Braised pollack with firm, intact flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-21-13tnc-900.webp)

The four-color namul (seasoned vegetable) side dishes and a braised pollack with firm, un-crumbled flesh were also delicious,

![Stir-fried pork made with steak sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-22-1prsk-900.webp)

and the stir-fried pork made with steak sauce had the sauce coated on the surface like a glaze, sweet and salty in every bite, almost like pork chops — I couldn't stop eating it.

### Ginseng tteokgalbi, lotus leaf rice and fried ginseng

![Signature ginseng tteokgalbi at Madang Itneun Jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes/geumsan-hanjeongsik-madang-house-21-dishes-23-bnpk3-900.webp)

The house's signature dish, ginseng tteokgalbi (short rib patty), was so moist that juices seeped out the moment I bit into it, with a subtle ginseng aroma — my husband called it his top pick. The aftertaste was clean too, so this really deserves its signature status. 🥹

There was also sweetly seasoned grilled eel, and lotus leaf rice made with glutinous rice topped with beans, walnuts, lotus root, and nuts — the lotus leaf aroma was subtle and the nuts gave a nice crunch between bites of rice.

Whole fried ginseng came out one per person, crispy outside with a bitter ginseng aroma still alive inside. This set meal built around Geumsan's specialty ginseng was genuinely impressive — I really mean it,,!! Filling this many dishes with zero seasoning felt like real proof of what a Geumsan Korean set meal can be.
