Sinbaengi Kimchi — Restaurant in Jeonju-si

This restaurant in Hanok Village is second to none for Jeonju's famous bibimbap.

The building is made in the lovely and comfortable hanok style and features a calming view of a garden. The staff are very welcoming and helpful.

They have an English menu for you to peruse. This restaurant is an excellent place to try authentic, home-made kimchi. They serve three varieties, made with radish, spinach, and the classic cabbage. Each is very flavorful and outshines that of other restaurants. For bibimbap, you can order it with fish roe, beef, or just vegetables. Their gochujang sauce recipe is a family heirloom and very tasty. They also offer a kimchi jeon (pancake) that begs to be tried. At the end of your meal, you may feel obliged to try a cup of moju, a sweet, cinnamon/nutty flavored beverage served cold. Great on a hot day.

We joined a kimchi workshop here and had an amazing time! The experience started with a tasting of different types of kimchi, which was both fun and delicious. After that, we rolled up our sleeves and made our own kimchi, while also receiving the complete recipe to take home. We even learned how to prepare kimchi pancakes and tried Korean rice wine. Everything - workshop, food and drinks, was included. The space was very clean, and the hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended — just be sure to book in advance to...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our best dinner in Korea was at Sinbaengi Kimchi! The kimchi was unbelievably delicious, bursting with fresh, balanced flavors. The bean sprouts and rice soup were absolutely heavenly, and the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the service — the staff treated our family with such kindness and warmth that we felt right at home. Highly recommend this place to anyone...
