About

Porridge and bibimbap in a compact Yeoksam room, including beef-and-greens bibimbap with dongchimi broth.

The tell here is the porridge: one regular returns for Shin jjamppong juk (신짬뽕죽) as a hangover meal, even as prices rise. It is the kind of straightforward, warming choice this Bonjuk branch is known for, and the name signals a spicy direction. The compact room turns tables quickly, so solo diners can get in and out without making a production of lunch. It is also a practical stop for office workers nearby. For something more substantial, the catalog includes abalone porridge at ₩13,000, beef-and-vegetable porridge at ₩12,500, and seafood porridge at ₩12,000. Some diners find porridge portions on the small side, so consider the bibimbap if you want a rice bowl instead. The beef bulgogi-and-greens bibimbap (소불고기나물비빔밥) costs ₩13,000; it arrives with two side dishes and dongchimi, a cool radish-water kimchi broth. Mix the sauce in cautiously: one report found the finished bowl a little salty. The jangjorim butter bibimbap (본죽장조림버터비빔밥), at ₩12,500, is another option, though some find bibimbap less filling than porridge. This is a small, tightly arranged place, with tables close together and quick turnover. The lunch rush can mean a wait and crowded seating; outside it, the visit sounds more like a quick, unfussy meal than somewhere to linger. Yeoksam Station is about a five-minute walk away. The branch opens 08:30–20:00 Monday to Friday and 10:00–15:00 on weekends, so check the shorter weekend hours before setting out. It suits solo diners, friends, and anyone after a familiar hot meal near the office district. Reports on service differ: some praise attentive staff, while others describe brusque or careless handling, particularly with takeout. If you are ordering to go, allow for that uncertainty; delivery also costs more than eating in, with a minimum order noted by reviewers.
