Orders go through a table tablet, and the kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew, 10,000 won per person) arrives with big chunks of pork you cut up with scissors, served here with an egg roll and a ramyeon sari (instant noodle add-in) at the end. A good stop in Bansong-dong, Dongtan on a day when you want a filling Korean meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 36-13 Dongtanbansong 3-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Kimchi jjigae**: 10,000 won per person / 26,000 won set for two - **Duruchigi (stir-fried pork)**: 11,000 won per person / 28,000 won set for two - **Samgyeop kimchi jjim (braised pork belly with kimchi)**: 11,000 won per person / 28,000 won set for two - **How to order**: Tablet ordering at the table - **Side dishes**: Self-serve corner, with seaweed flakes on hand - **Seating**: A grill and hood at every table; spacious enough for groups - **Price reference**: ₩10,000 ≈ $7.2 · ₩11,000 ≈ $8 (2026-09-18) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* Wanted something hot and Korean near Dongtan Central Park, so I headed to Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal. Kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) alone can polish off a bowl of rice, but here it comes loaded with chunky pork and tofu, so it turned into a proper meal. Finishing it off with ramyeon sari (instant noodle add-in) was the perfect way to end things full. ![Full table spread of yangpuni-style kimchi jjigae at Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-01-d8z92-966.webp) ## Where is Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal in Dongtan? Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal is in Bansong-dong, Dongtan, and it's close to Central Park too. The address is 36-13 Dongtanbansong 3-gil, 1st floor, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do.

The kimchi especially is domestic, and I heard even the duruchigi (stir-fried pork) recipe has switched to a Gyeongsangdo-style version. ## Inside Yangpuni: seating and grill tables Once you step inside Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal, it's roomier than you'd expect. True to a grilled-meat restaurant, every table has its own grill and hood installed, and it looked plenty comfortable for a group meal. You could come for kimchi jjigae alone, or it works just as well for samgyeopsal and drinks in the evening! ![Interior table with a grill and hood installed](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-05-4m4x7-966.webp) ![Spacious hall seating good for groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-06-1j5ip-966.webp) ## Yangpuni menu and prices, ordered by tablet Ordering is done through the tablet on each table. Kimchi jjigae is ₩10,000 per person, duruchigi is ₩11,000 per person, samgyeop kimchi jjim is ₩11,000 per person, and there are set menus for two as well. - Kimchi jjigae: ₩10,000 per person / ₩26,000 set for two - Duruchigi: ₩11,000 per person / ₩28,000 set for two - Samgyeop kimchi jjim: ₩11,000 per person / ₩28,000 set for two There are also good side dishes to order alongside, like egg roll or naengmyeon (cold noodles), so if you come with a group it seems like a fun spot to order a bunch of things. ![Table tablet ordering screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-07-flkby-966.webp) ![Menu listing kimchi jjigae and duruchigi prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-08-29ypm-966.webp) ![Set-for-two menu and side dish information](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-09-bz4g4-966.webp) ## What's at the self-serve side dish corner? The basic banchan (side dishes) at Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal are self-serve, so you can grab as much as you need. Seasoned seaweed flakes are ready too, so sprinkling those over rice and mixing it with the kimchi jjigae broth would definitely taste good. The table already had a small plate and utensils neatly set. ![Self-serve corner for basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-10-1kgg1-966.webp) ![Seasoned seaweed flakes and side dishes at the self-serve corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-11-1mia8-966.webp) ![Table setting with a small plate and utensils](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-12-lftnr-768.webp) ## Starting with the egg roll Before the kimchi jjigae arrived, the egg roll came out first! It's the thick-rolled style, so it looked appetizing from the start. With a dish as boldly seasoned as kimchi jjigae, the egg roll pairing really works. Easy to cut into pieces, and it calmed down the spice in between bites too — glad I ordered it alongside. ![Thickly rolled egg roll served on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-13-12afl-966.webp) ![Cross-section of egg roll cut into easy bites](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-14-10yh4-768.webp) ## Yangpuni kimchi jjigae: pork chunks cut with scissors And then the main event, the kimchi jjigae! True to its name, it comes in a huge yangpuni (metal bowl), and you simmer it bubbling away right at the table. ![Kimchi jjigae served in a large metal bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-15-n7e35-966.webp) As it starts boiling, the kimchi jjigae smell rises up, and that's when you really start craving rice. They say they use domestic kimchi along with fresh vegetables and domestic raw pork. The kimchi was well-fermented and the tofu came in big chunks too. ![Bubbling kimchi jjigae with chunky tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-16-jgbzv-1200.webp) ![Well-fermented kimchi and tofu in the stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-17-1pan4-966.webp) Most of all, the pork wasn't just scattered in bits — it came in genuinely big chunks. The staff lifted them out with tongs and cut them into bite-sized pieces with scissors. ![A pork chunk lifted with tongs](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-18-1xk19-768.webp) Once cut up, you could see there was quite a lot of meat in the stew, so even meat lovers wouldn't feel shortchanged. Picking up kimchi and pork together — that combo is hard to mess up. ![Pork and kimchi cut with scissors](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-19-1y2cn-768.webp) ## How is the kimchi stew broth with rice? The broth is what really matters with kimchi jjigae, right? The longer it simmers, the deeper the kimchi and pork flavor sinks into the broth, and it turns into something that goes perfectly with rice. A spoonful of broth, then a bite with kimchi and pork piled on rice. With the tofu added in too, you barely needed any other side dishes. The kimchi especially wasn't the overly fresh, crisp style — it was well-fermented in a way that suited long simmering perfectly. ## Finishing the stew with ramyeon sari You can't have kimchi jjigae without ramyeon sari (instant noodle add-in). After eating a good amount, we added one in! They dropped the noodles in among the remaining kimchi and tofu and simmered it well. As the broth soaked into the noodles, it took on a completely different flavor from the first round of kimchi jjigae. ![Ramyeon sari added and simmered in the kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-20-3n489-768.webp) ![Ramyeon sari soaked in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-stew-pork-chunks-21-z49jd-768.webp) Once the ramyeon was fully cooked, I lifted up a big bundle of noodles for a bite. With the broth now even richer, it paired beautifully with the ramyeon sari. Rice plus ramyeon — truly a filling meal, finished! ## Is Yangpuni worth it in Bansong-dong, Dongtan? Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal was a handy spot near Dongtan Central Park whenever you're craving kimchi jjigae or Korean food. With domestic kimchi and a yangpuni-style stew packed with chunky pork and tofu, it suited a day when I wanted a hearty meal. Pair it with the egg roll and finish with ramyeon sari — the combo really works! Beyond kimchi jjigae, there's also duruchigi, samgyeop kimchi jjim, and samgyeopsal, so the menu range covers everything from a Korean lunch to a full dinner.
