Gogung — Restaurant in Jeonju-si

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gogung restaurant in Jeonju, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our lunch, shared with colleagues, consisted of the most amazing beef bibimbap I've ever tasted. Served in the traditional Korean style with raw eggs, a colorful array of vegetables, mushrooms, and accompanied by a variety of flavorful side dishes, every bite was a delight to the senses.

What truly elevated our meal was the addition of authentic Magkeoli, a traditional Korean rice wine that surpassed any I've tried in Seoul. Its smooth, subtly sweet flavor complemented the bold flavors of the bibimbap perfectly, adding an extra layer of authenticity to our dining experience.

As I savored each mouthful, I couldn't help but appreciate the wholesome nature of Korean cuisine. Packed with fresh, nutritious ingredients and bursting with flavor, it's no wonder Koreans enjoy such high life expectancy and good health. Gogung's commitment to serving 100% healthy food is evident in every dish, leaving me wondering why I hadn't discovered this culinary gem sooner.

Overall, dining at Gogung was not just a meal; it was a celebration of Korean culture, tradition, and the art of living well. Whether you're a local or a visitor to Jeonju, Gogung is a must-visit destination for an authentic taste of Korea's...

Bibimbap is one of the most popular Korean food, often seen as the most famous traditional one, foreigners love it The city of Jeonju is said to be the birthplace of it And Gogung is one of the oldest and most famous restaurants serving it, having it as their specialty even (they've since then opened another one in Seoul) Knowing that, it was a safe bet indeed And it did deliver, it was yummy, be it before I would mix it or after doing so... to the point that I finished it all, not even leaving a single grain of rice haha And I also finished most of the side dishes (only a couple were a bit too spicy for me - who have a low tolerance - but more than half weren't, all good), that included bean sprouts soup Service was immediate (I went there on a weekday 6PM), food was prepared in advance The place is big. You can even find a small shop for typical good and drinks to take out There is food models on display in case you didn't have any idea of that to expect But also the menu has clear pics and is bilingual The restaurant is located right by beautiful Deokjin Park, very convenient after a stroll there Definitely...

Came here during lunch hours right when they opened at 11. The restaurant became full quickly but also people ate much faster than us. We got the traditional raw beef bibimbap and seafood pancake. The bibimbap was good but it was different than what I’ve had in the past. The flavor was much more mild. Unfortunately the raw beef flavor wasn’t very strong but it was still good for what it was. The seafood pancake was also a different style that I’ve had before. This had layer of egg on top of it. Never had egg in my seafood pancake before so that was unique. They also have a self service drink area with tea, plum juice, coffee, etc. Also, you can refill your own side dishes. Overall, the experience was good and...
