I tried two beef brisket stews and smoky stir-fried bulgogi after work on a Friday evening.

There was no wait, but every seat was taken! Since it is a restaurant inside the terminal, I thought it would probably be even busier around 7 p.m. on weeknights. I also saw quite a few people dining alone, so it felt easy to visit solo. ## Bapjangin Korean menu and what I ordered ![Bapjangin Korean menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-08-1n615-1280.webp) ![Bapjangin stew and bulgogi menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-09-8nqoz-747.webp) Bapjangin's menu is full of dishes that Koreans generally love! It is a Korean restaurant mainly serving jjageuli (a thick, bubbling stew), bulgogi, stir-fried squid, and kimchi-jjigae (kimchi stew). ### The three dishes I ordered ![Dishes ordered at Bapjangin](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-10-dy3te-632.webp) ![Beef brisket stews and stir-fried bulgogi order](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-11-1kkva-900.webp) The three dishes were savory beef brisket sundubu-jjigae (soft tofu stew), ₩15,000; smoky stir-fried bulgogi, ₩14,000; and savory beef brisket gochujang-jjigae (red chili paste stew), ₩15,000. The side dishes were seasoned shredded seaweed, bean sprouts, kimchi, radish salad, and lettuce. I loved how neat the spread was and how it felt like a home-cooked meal! ![Bapjangin side dishes and water jug](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-12-67089-900.webp) The water jug was so unusual that I had to take a photo 🤣🤣 ## Smoky stir-fried bulgogi and beef brisket stews ![Savory beef brisket gochujang-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-13-ha0q5-900.webp) *Savory beef brisket gochujang-jjigae ₩15,000* ![Savory beef brisket sundubu-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-14-1prj8-900.webp) *Savory beef brisket sundubu-jjigae ₩15,000* ![Smoky stir-fried bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-15-kv4if-900.webp) *Smoky stir-fried bulgogi ₩14,000* The most memorable dish was definitely the smoky stir-fried bulgogi! The moment I put it in my mouth, that fire-grilled aroma hit me—I mean, it was enough to make my eyes go wide, haha. The smokiness and seasoning were spot-on, and even I, someone who does not usually like smoky flavors, enjoyed it so much. > Highly, highly recommended! 💗 ![Meal photo after recommending the stir-fried bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-16-2yap3-900.webp) The sundubu-jjigae and gochujang-jjigae also had beef brisket in them, so they had a real savory depth. I also liked that they came in ttukbaegi (earthenware bowls), which kept them warm to the very last bite. I tried both stews, and both were tastier than I expected, so I would want to order another stew next time. ![Meal with beef brisket stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin/express-terminal-korean-stew-bapjangin-17-ghq2c-896.webp) ## Bapjangin Express Bus Terminal Branch FAQs ### Is there a wait on Friday evenings?
