About
Spacious budae jjigae restaurant in Magok COEX Le West serving water parsley army stew and stir-fried budae bokkeum.
Tucked into basement level two of Le West City in Magok—connected directly to the pedestrian walkways branching off Magoknaru Station—Gobudae caters to local office workers and visiting families looking for reliable Korean comfort food. The high-ceilinged dining room feels bright and expansive, equipped with numerous tables, high chairs, and clean tabletop induction pads managed with simple button controls. The kitchen’s flagship dish is *minari budae-jjigae*, which offsets the savory weight of assorted sausages, ham, sliced rice cakes, and dumplings with handfuls of aromatic water dropwort. As broth is poured table-side and comes to an active boil, the minari imparts a refreshing herbal edge that cuts cleanly through the processed meats. Diners frequently toss in ramen noodles or order cheese-topped versions for extra richness. For a drier, high-heat alternative, regular office crews often steer toward the *budae-bokkeum* sets. This spicy stir-fry combines savory ham and ramen noodles with *jjusam-sae*—a hearty mix of small octopus, thin pork belly, and shrimp—further fortified with tender pieces of beef intestine (*daechang*). Portions are built for sharing, but solitary eaters can also order single-serving stews. A thick *cheese gyeran-mari* (rolled omelet) serves as the default side dish to tame the spice, though ordering it alongside cheese-laden stews can lean overly rich. Instead, meals stay balanced thanks to self-serve refills of banchan like seasoned soybean sprouts, kimchi, pickled radishes, and additional broth from the central counter. With straightforward tablet ordering, single-diner options, and quick-simmering comfort fare, it fills a practical niche for hot stew in Magok’s commercial core.
