Gyeongseonjang
경선장 Gyeongseon is the owner's father's given name and seonjang means a ship's captain — the owner told one blogger he named the bar after his father and as the captain who would steer it.

Gyeongseonjang is a small Korean bar-restaurant on the ground floor of Poly Plaza 2 in the Okjeong central shopping district of Yangju. People come for the set course — octopus and conch, seared pork jowl, grilled fish, red shrimp with sea urchin, seafood noodle soup and dessert — or for the Seonjang Ohap platter of raw beef, sea urchin and sweet shrimp wrapped in seaweed. In 2026 posts the two-person course is 49,000 won a head and the solo course 40,000 won. Posts from 2026 give the hours as 5 pm to 1 am (last order midnight), closed Mondays. We read 30 posts from 10 February 2025 to 19 September 2026; 23 describe an actual visit.

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
- Expect to wait. Ten posts say they waited or that there is usually a line. The times they give are 15 minutes (January 2026), 20 minutes (a weekday evening, September 2025) and an hour (summer 2025). Three posts describe leaving a phone number with staff and waiting nearby for a call; one regretted that there is nowhere to wait. Four posts arrived right at opening and were seated at once.
- The room is small. Eleven posts call it cramped or not spacious; none call it roomy. Six posts describe a counter of six to eight seats plus two four-person and two two-person tables; one counted three two-person tables. One post mentions tight spacing and people bumping into each other in the aisle.
- Four posts found it quiet; one said it was so crowded and loud she could not hear conversation, and hot inside in midsummer.
- Food comes slowly. Two posts say the owner cooks alone and makes each dish to order, so patience is needed. One noted you can watch him cook from the counter.
2 more
- Four posts say the free cabbage starter was refilled, or that laver, hijiki and herb salad are topped up on request.
- One post (June 2026) says ordering a drink is required; that writer had a non-alcoholic beer instead (4,000 won a small can).

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.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 3 (of 22 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 22 posts read) |
It is at street level: three posts say it is on the ground floor of the building.
No post says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller fits — not that there isn't, just that nobody wrote it. It is on the ground floor, but one post found the inside aisle narrow.
The toilet is the building's, not inside the bar; one post said it is code-locked and was clean. No post said whether it is separated by gender.
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 29 posts we gathered, 7 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
- Prices have gone up. Posts from June to September 2025 give the two-person course at 40,000 won a head; posts from May 2026 give 49,000 won (98,000 for two), and one writer said it rose by nearly 10,000 won in a year. One post called it expensive, three said it was worth the money. A course for two now runs about 100,000 won before drinks.
- Hours: eight 2026 posts list them, six agreeing on 5 pm to 1 am, closed Mondays — mostly copied from the listing. One (September 2026) says it closes at midnight Sunday and Tuesday to Thursday; one (March 2026) copied a 4 pm weekend opening from the website. 2025 posts had Friday-to-Sunday opening at 4 pm; we don't know exactly when that changed.
- No post describes getting there by subway or bus. Several say the central-district location is easy to find, but none actually came by public transport; one took a taxi.
- Ten posts give the phone number 0507-1479-0795. Whether you can book ahead is unclear: one post's info box says reservations are taken, but what posts actually describe is leaving a number when full and getting a call. One writer phoned ahead to ask about seats.
- Seven posts were not counted as visits: two from an adult-shop blog with only the listing's photos and vague praise (one even recommends it for lunch, though it opens at 5 pm), one stitched together from other bloggers' sentences, two multi-venue roundups, a kitchen-equipment supplier's case study, and a diary that only says they went.
