On a weekday evening return visit with mom and a baby, one serving each of myeongin barley gulbi (dried yellow croaker, ₩27,000) and bulbeombeok spicy pork stir-fry (₩20,000) came with free self-bar barley bibimbap and hot-pot rice with nurungji (scorched rice). Salty, clean-tasting barley gulbi alternating with the spicy pork made Bomseol well worth another trip. ## Good to know - **Myeongin barley gulbi (dried yellow croaker)**: ₩27,000 - **Bulbeombeok (spicy pork stir-fry)**: ₩20,000 - **Hours**: Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed 11:00–20:30 - **Break time**: 16:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 19:45 - **Closed**: Thursday, Friday - **Address**: 51 Hyeonsan-ro 385beon-gil, Chowol-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do (Jiwol-ri 715-2) - **Parking**: Available - **High chair**: Available - **Bomseol Han-sang set**: Orders of 2 servings or more - **Price reference**: ₩27,000 ≈ $19.5 · ₩20,000 ≈ $14.5 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* 260918 Myeongin Barley Gulbi ₩27,000 / Bulbeombeok (pork stir-fry) ₩20,000 Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed 11:00–20:30 / break time 16:00–17:00 / last order 19:45, closed Thu & Fri 51 Hyeonsan-ro 385beon-gil, Chowol-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (초월읍 지월리 715-2) Parking available, baby chair available Last time I had cockles and mackerel and loved them, so I came back to Bomseol, a hanjeongsik (Korean set-meal) spot in Gwangju, Gyeonggi that's great for family meals, to try something different this time! Last visit was for lunch, but this time I came for dinner :-) ![Exterior of Bomseol hanjeongsik in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-01-1h9lk-900.webp) ## Bomseol menu and prices: what we ordered At Bomseol we ordered Myeongin Barley Gulbi (₩27,000) and Bulbeombeok pork stir-fry (₩20,000), one serving each. Last time there was no Bomseol Han-sang set on the menu — guess it's new! But it required a minimum of two servings, and since I wanted to try dishes I hadn't had yet from the single-serving options, I skipped the han-sang for next time and ordered the barley gulbi and pork stir-fry instead +_+ ![Bomseol's menu board with prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-02-gvq8t-900.webp) ![Menu listing the Bomseol Han-sang set](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-03-xwu4v-900.webp) Since we came with the baby, they set up a baby chair for us^_ㅠ but the baby fell asleep =_+ so we pushed two chairs together for a makeshift bed and mom and I wolfed down our meal lol ![Baby chair set up by Bomseol staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-04-1u1st-900.webp) ## Inside Bomseol on a weekday evening We went late on a weekday evening so it was quiet, though customers kept trickling in even at that hour..! True to its reputation as a family-meal spot, most of the guests were families haha ![Quiet interior of Bomseol on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-05-1nq6p-900.webp) Last time we sat in a corner spot and didn't even know there was barley bibimbap@.,@ but this time it was right there, so I decided to try it..! ![Barley bibimbap corner at Bomseol's self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-06-c65xp-900.webp) ### Self-bar banchan and barley bibimbap at Bomseol Bomseol's self-bar lets you take as many banchan (side dishes) as you want, so mom went back for seconds of the fried eggplant and perilla leaves, saying they were delicious lol ![Self-bar with unlimited banchan at Bomseol](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-07-ovxcd-900.webp) ![Fried eggplant and perilla leaves from the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-08-n3exi-900.webp) Just a little barley bibimbap as an appetizer..^^..! ![Small appetizer portion of barley bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-09-16sum-900.webp) It's been a while since I had barley rice — somehow it tasted extra good>.< ![A bowl of mixed Bomseol barley rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-10-1qkve-900.webp) ## How the barley gulbi and spicy pork stir-fry taste And then out came the full Bomseol hanjeongsik spread, a great family-meal restaurant in Gwangju! ![Full Bomseol hanjeongsik table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-11-1j4pe-900.webp) The hot-pot rice needed a bit more time, so we waited for it before digging in together lol ![Myeongin Barley Gulbi table setting with hot-pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-12-1i83p-1200.webp) The barley gulbi came already deboned like this, which was so nice lol — there were still some big bones here and there, but having the fish broken down like this ahead of time made it much easier to eat +_+ It had been ages since I'd had barley gulbi lol, and with a hint of smoky char on it, it tasted even better! ![Bomseol's deboned barley gulbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-13-bh83s-900.webp) Such a plump, meaty barley gulbi haha ![Close-up of plump, meaty barley gulbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-14-7rss4-900.webp) Bulbeombeok pork stir-fry!

I'd recommend leaving the lid slightly open. ![Nurungji bubbling up after water was poured into the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-22-1hy56-900.webp) A day of eating way too much with mom for dinner! Once again, a satisfying visit to Bomseol, a great family-meal restaurant in Gwangju^.^ ![Bomseol table spread after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-23-n269f-900.webp) Maybe because Chuseok (Korean harvest holiday) is coming up soon(?), they were also selling barley gulbi gift sets! +_+ Recommending Bomseol, a great family-meal restaurant close to downtown Gwangju!(^^)* ![Barley gulbi gift sets on sale at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok-24-1arqw-900.webp) ## Where it is - Bomseol (봄설 한정식) - 51 Hyeonsan-ro 385beon-gil, Chowol-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 광주시 초월읍 현산로385번길 51 - 37.4179185, 127.2779896 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B4%84%EC%84%A4%20%ED%95%9C%EC%A0%95%EC%8B%9D/@37.4179185,127.2779896,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@window-lunch-seoul/bomseol-hanjeongsik-gwangju-boriguelbi-bulbeombeok/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
