About

Certified Baeknyeon Gage serving generous traditional Korean hanjeongsik with hot stone-pot rice and a complimentary self-serve side dish bar.

Operating since 1999 on the second floor of a commercial building near Sincheon Station, Heukgwa Saramdeul is a multi-generational, Baeknyeon Gage-certified establishment dedicated to expansive regional hanjeongsik. Spanning a cavernous dining hall built for large gatherings and multi-generational family outings, the restaurant runs without a break, dishing up substantial feasts that assemble classic Korean comfort dishes on a grand scale. The backbone of the meal is the stone-pot dolsotbap. Hot water infused with fragrant lotus leaf tea is provided at the table, meant to be poured over the residual scorched rice to brew a soothing nurungji at the end of the meal. Around the steaming grains, the table fills with a sweeping assembly of entrees: dried yellow croaker (bori-gulbi), pre-shredded for ease and served over lotus leaves, alongside pan-fried flounder, seasoned deodeok, grilled pollack (hwangtae-gui), spicy stir-fried pork, and neongi mushroom bulgogi. Rich doenjang jjigae and soothing galbitang anchor the soups, while fermented soy sauce raw crab (ganjang gejang) and bellflower root round out the savory, heavily seasoned profile of the spread. Between courses, guests browse a self-service counter stocked with complimentary refills of freshly prepared barley rice, seasoned japchae kept warm in heated trays, kimchi pancakes, salads, and crunchy glazed peanuts. Children’s utensils and post-meal coffee are also available at the station. By pairing the abundance of traditional country feast tables with the convenience of customizable set combinations, Heukgwa Saramdeul preserves a classic, unhurried Korean dining rhythm in Siheung.
