    If you're looking for the best bibimbap in Jeonju, look no further. Gogung can be quite packed during the day with lines all the way into the courtyard. Inside, they serve their signature bibimbap, in particular with the raw beef tartare.

    My airbnb was about a half mile from here so my wife and I went here a few times. Everyone knows that Jeonju is the city of “Bibimbap” and this is the most popular place that we could think of. (My wife is from Jeonju) I tried both Dolsot (hot pot) and the regular bibimbap. Both are so extremely goood. The side dishes are all great too. Be sure to grab a plum tea before you go.

    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 recommended!

    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 really enjoyed it.

    I am not sure why this place is so popular. The bibimbab was ok and the bulgogi was chewy. If you are in the area, I guess you can eat here. It was a stop over for me so I didn't get to explore the area.

    Very nice Jeonju Bibimbap. With a bit of mince beef. Usually bibimbap is without any meat. Stir it with the chilli sauce to make it taste nice

    Nice Bibimbap~

  • 5/5 Aatu D. 2 years ago on Google
    Iconic Jeonju Bibimbap. Very good. Popular place. Very busy. Prepare to wait a bit – especially on lunch time. I was alone so it was a bit easier.

  • 3/5 Ling S. 4 years ago on Google
    Will rate it 3.5. Due to the size of restaurant, it serves big tourist group. Bibimbap is well known here. A good place to drop by for a quick lunch if driving.

  • 4/5 Du B. 4 years ago on Google
    good enough quality for 10,000 won meal. almost ten kinds of stuff is in 비빔밥. i understand why here is very popular. if you go to lunch time, you have to wait at least 20 min. i hope price will not be raised. over 10,000 won is not a resonable price for 비빔밥.

    The setting of Bibimbap in the brassware, which indicated their traditon, made me to expect the taste and did not fail. 6 of side dishes have been served free and very friendly atmosphere.

    I tried several bibimbap restaurant while my stay in Jeonju, and I personally think their Jeonju Bibimbap is the best. Besides, I also ordered their minched meat but taste is fine. My Dad ordered their Bulgogi bibimbap and he likes it best. Restaurany is easy to find, right along the main road of the touristy aisle. Really enjoyed my lunch here

👍👍 Kalguksu is awesome. Check out the taste of perilla seeds. Dumplings are average. Adapted from Gochujar: Perilla seed powder has a deep, earthy taste with a touch of minty, herbal flavor. The powder adds a nutty, grassy & earthy flavor to spicy Korean stews - it's quite a unique flavor.

👍👍 Hiding inside a local market, this restaurant serves Korean blood sausage that is very flavourful. The most popular way to eat here seems to be sundae (blood sausage) in a spicy boiling broth. The sausage is quite garlicky. The broth also contains some pig intestines.

👍👍 Amazing place. I asked some locals to suggest a good "bibimbap" place, "not one for tourists, one that you like!", and this was the one that tempted me the most. Not one English talker, very true Korean restaurant. Gigantic portions, I almost died while eating here. Very good, quality and original b...
