Goduban
고두반 Goduban is written 古豆飯 — 'old', 'bean', 'meal' — an old-style table built on beans and tofu, which the house makes itself in an iron cauldron.
Compiled from 19 blog posts read in fullSources →
A reservation-only Korean set-meal house tucked inside Doji village in Gyeongju, a few minutes' drive from Bulguksa. Hand-made tofu and bean dishes are the core; 15 of the 20 visits we read ordered the Igeo set — beef-and-tofu hotpot plus the tofu trio — at 25,000 won a head, two minimum. There are four sets, from 13,000 to 38,000 won, served on pottery fired by the owner's husband. Posts since June 2026 give lunch-only hours, 11:30 to 15:00; posts up to March 2026 had it opening at noon and staying open until 20:00 at weekends. We read 30 posts from December 2025 to October 2026: 4 were about other places and set aside, 6 were broadcast write-ups or lists we counted only as mentions.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Book, and the table is laid when you arrive. Eleven posts say they reserved, and several describe the side dishes and hotpot already set out before they sat down. One post, which got in before opening by phoning ahead, watched the table being prepared instead.
- Eleven posts went with children. Five mention the high chairs, four ordered the 4,000-won kids' menu for ages 4 to 7. One family got eggplant fritters with the spicy topping left off half of them, for the children. Another notes the hotpot broth was too spicy for their baby.
- Shoes come off at the door — four posts say so and none says otherwise. Inside, posts describe four-seat tables and a long group table.
- Seasoning runs mild: five posts say it isn't salty, one diner found it slightly strong while the rest of the family didn't. Two others warn it may taste plain.
2 more
- There are dogs on the property — three posts mention them, one adds cats; one family's children didn't want to leave them.
- Four posts saw celebrity signatures or photos by the entrance. Posts that only repeat that famous people have eaten here are not counted.

This is a drive-to place. Twelve posts parked and none had trouble; one counts two spaces right in front plus more behind, and several point to the Doji village public lot at the entrance. How roomy it is varies by post. One notes the final lane is narrow enough that oncoming cars had to back up for them.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
0 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 2 (of 19 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 4 of 19 posts |
Two posts say the restaurant is on the ground floor with the family home upstairs, but both use the same promotional script; no one else mentions floors.
Nobody wrote about a step at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. Four posts say shoes come off, which may mean a raised floor, but we don't know.
The toilet is inside, past the pottery display: four posts mention walking through the gallery on the way. None says whether it is split by gender or how big it is.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 25 posts we gathered, 6 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Opening hours have changed. Posts from December 2025 to February 2026 give Tue–Fri 12:00–15:00 and Sat–Sun 12:00–20:00 with a 15:00–17:00 break; twelve posts from June 2026 on give Tue–Sun 11:30–15:00, lunch only, last order 14:00 (one says 11:00). We can only place the change between March and June 2026. Most of these hours are copied from listings; nearly every post agrees on Monday closing and early closing when ingredients run out.
- No one arrived by bus or on foot. One post says it is hard to reach without a car; nobody names a nearby stop.
- No one queued. It is reservation-only, but nobody tried walking in, so we don't know what happens if you do. The day-ahead booking rule is mentioned for the top set.
- Prices are consistent across the menus copied into posts: 13,000, 18,000, 25,000 and 38,000 won per person, two minimum — so the Igeo set for two is 50,000 won. Nobody posted an actual bill. One post found the prices reasonable.
- Booking is by phone. Eight posts give 0507-1396-7489 and six give 054-748-7489; two posts sharing a script give 0507-1396-7589, which looks like a typo.
- Some posts are promotional. Six end with the identical five hashtags, two of them share script sentences and the same wrong phone number, and two disclose sponsorship. Stock phrases with no first-hand detail were not counted.
