Baengnyeon Gukbap

백년국밥 A hand-lettered pork-soup shop at the end of Hadong's public market, known for the owner's refusal to serve imported kimchi.

Data as of 2026-09-27 · Published 2026-10-01 · Compiled by Gilpost

A pork-and-rice-soup shop at the far end of Hadong's public market, in the alley behind the Lotteria across from the county office. Four kinds of gukbap, plus a Korean-beef ox-head bowl, a knuckle soup and boiled pork, with the price board hand-lettered in ink by the owner. Almost every writer copies down the line on the wall: *rather than use Chinese cabbage kimchi, we would not run a restaurant at all.* Several say the room is locals rather than visitors, and four ended up here for dinner because most places in town shut by six or seven while this one stays open until nine.

The basics

When it opens

Of 10 posts: 10 wrote 10:00–21:00.

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.

These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go. Place — check hours

What people order

The most ordered dish is dwaeji gukbap (돼지국밥) — 13 of 20 posts.

The prices here are what bloggers wrote down in their posts, and they may have changed since. Check Naver Place for the current menu and prices. This list is not a menu board — it counts what bloggers actually ordered and ate. Check on Naver Place

What to order

• 돼지국밥13 ate it
  dwaeji gukbap₩9,000 · ₩10,000

  The order here, by a wide margin. Six writers call the broth clear and light rather than milky — two of them begin by saying they were worried it would be thin. Three note the rice comes in its own bowl. One mentions a large size

  Three writers say it arrives already seasoned — no need for the shrimp paste or chilli paste on the table. Eight say there is no porky funk; **one says it is a little musty**, comparing it with a place in Gwangyang and giving it three stars out of five. Two describe the pork as cut thick

• 섞어국밥6 ate it
  seokkeo gukbap₩9,000 · ₩10,000

  The pork bowl with offal and blood sausage added. One writer reports the only difference from the plain bowl is those two additions, and that the taste is much the same

  Two writers find the offal springy and clean-tasting; one of them adds that the blood sausage is the ordinary snack-bar sort

• 도가니탕2 ate it
  doganitang₩15,000

  A soup of beef knuckle. One writer calls it the hangover version

  One finds it clean-tasting with little of the usual stickiness; another says it clings to the lips. Three posts agree on ₩15,000

• 내장국밥2 ate it
  naejang gukbap₩9,000 · ₩10,000

  The offal-only bowl. One writer describes the pieces as generously large, tender and without smell

  One couple ordered two of them. **That writer found the portion small for a gukbap**

• 수육 (대·소)1 ate it
  suyuk₩23,000 · ₩25,000 · ₩35,000

  **Named alongside the gukbap as what the shop is for — but only one writer reports ordering it.** It comes in two sizes. Two posts say it should be booked ahead; one relays the shop's own line that it tastes better when ordered in advance

  The one writer who ordered it took the small and found it tender. **Two others guess at it without eating it**, reasoning from how good the lean meat in the bowl was. The small is ₩23,000 in a March 2025 post and ₩25,000 in a November 2025 one; the large is ₩35,000 in both that name it. **These are not counted in the per-meal range** — nobody ordered it on its own

• 한우 소머리국밥1 ate it
  hanu someori gukbap₩11,000 · ₩12,000

  The shop's other headline bowl, made with Korean beef. **Seven writers saw it on the board; one reports eating it** — two mention watching locals order it while they had the pork

  The one writer who ate it notes glass noodles in the bowl. ₩11,000 in October 2024 and March 2025 posts, ₩12,000 in a November 2025 post

• 순대국밥1 ate it
  sundae gukbap₩9,000 · ₩10,000

  Listed at the same price as the pork, mixed and offal bowls. One writer reports ordering it

  That writer counted seven pieces of sausage and describes them as the chewy glutinous-rice kind

Sides, and what comes with it

• 공기밥 (추가)2 ate it
  gongibap

  **The rice comes in its own bowl, not in the soup** — three writers say so. More can be ordered, but **no post gives the price**

  One writer ordered the large bowl and still needed another rice, and thought the extra bowl was bigger than the first. Another came with children and ordered three rices with two gukbap and a doganitang

• 토종순대1 ate it
  tojong sundae

  Blood sausage ordered as a plate of its own. **No writer gives a price for it**

  The writer who added it describes it sliced onto a plate, filled with something close to blood sausage. Another watched other customers buying it to take away

Parking

9 posts say you can park; 2 say you cannot. We leave the disagreement standing rather than picking a side.

Parking is described differently in every post. Two say there is no lot at all; two say a couple of cars fit in front, or that there is space in front but it is always taken; one says the lot opposite is wide and free; one paid ₩1,500 for fifty minutes in the paid lot right outside; one says the alley lot is free and the larger one behind it is not. Two warn that parking is ticketed here. We cannot say which of these is current — the posts run from October 2024 to September 2026, and it may simply have changed.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

No writer says which floor the shop is on. None mentions stairs or a lift either. The ones who describe finding it get as far as *into the Lotteria alley across from the county office*, *the far end of the public market*, *well back inside the neighbourhood* — and stop there. Our own records do not carry a floor, and the posts cannot fill it in.

Not one writer mentions a step at the door, a ramp, or whether a wheelchair gets in. What they record about the inside is seats and space — *bigger than I expected* against *not large*, plus *mostly four-tops* and *seats going well back*. Nobody describes pushing a pram in. One writer came with a baby, and what she noted was the absence of a high chair; about the way in she says nothing.

One writer mentions the toilet. That one says the room was clean but the toilet is shared between men and women, which disappointed her. That is the whole of what we know — nobody says where it is, how many stalls, or whether there is a step, and no one saw an accessible toilet. Twenty-one of the twenty-two say nothing about it at all.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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 23 posts we gathered, 3 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.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• Writers contradict each other on how much food arrives. Some describe rice pressed down hard into the bowl and offal heaped in; three say the portion is small for a gukbap, one adding that a big eater might come up short. One who ordered the large size still needed an extra bowl of rice. We cannot settle this — they did not order the same thing, and they did not go at the same time.
• Nobody writes about getting here without a car. One post contains the line *five minutes on foot from the bus stop*, but names no stop, and that post fills in a template of location, drawbacks and tips — we did not treat it as someone's own walk. Everyone else drove, and what they recorded was where they parked. Not one writer says how long it takes on foot from the intercity bus into town.
• Nobody reports queueing. Two writers found the room full at lunch, two found it busy in the evening, two watched it fill while they ate — but not one of them waited. One walked straight in; two went outside lunch and found it quiet; one arrived around four or five in the afternoon and had the place to herself. One recommends avoiding the lunch hour.
• The price has risen twice in two years, and two posts three weeks apart disagree about which price was current. An October 2024 post says it went from ₩8,000 early that year to ₩9,000; posts still say ₩9,000 as late as December 2025, yet one from November 2025 already says ₩10,000. A September 2026 writer looked it up at ₩9,000 and found ₩10,000 on the wall. Expect it to move again.
• We separated the posts written off the back of television from the ones written after a meal. The shop appeared on tvN's *You Quiz* — the owner dropped a roll of cash, a student handed it in, and he gave her free gukbap for life — and on KBS's *Saeng Saeng Jeongbo* on 8 May 2025. Three posts published that same day about the broadcast, plus one *top ten pork soups in Hadong* listicle, carry no record of eating and are out of the count: one reads as a press release, gathering other people's reviews into *tasty, friendly*; another is an episode round-up in which our shop is a single line of address. Seven of the posts that did eat here also retell the *You Quiz* story, so what filled the room may be the story rather than the soup.
• Two writers say opposite things about the service. A September 2026 post says the woman taking orders was not friendly and set the hot stoneware down as if throwing it, adding *even allowing for Gyeongsang brusqueness*. A March 2025 post describes the man in the kitchen as gruff but telling her where to help herself to more banchan, and signs off calling him prickly and warm. A writer with a baby was shown to a separated table. That is two people across two years; the other twenty say nothing about it.
