Gilseong Yubu is a snack bar in the lane behind Chonnam National University, across from the engineering gate. The sign and the customers say Gilseong Yubu; the shop writes its own name longer. It sells five things — inari sushi, instant noodles, fried pork, blood sausage and fishcake — with the rice pouches offered plain, with tuna mayonnaise, with fried kimchi, or half and half. School desks, green-speckled plates and eighties ballads make it look like a period piece; it has in fact been open since 1999. You write your order on a slip at the table and hand it in at the counter, and fetch water, side dishes, cutlery and drinks yourself. Closed Sundays; lunch only on Saturdays. The posts we read run from September 2024 to August 2026.

The basics

4 posts say it is walkable from the station.

When it opens

Of 14 posts: 7 wrote Weekdays 11:00–19:30, 6 wrote Saturday 11:00–14:30.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.

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 ramyeon (라면) — 23 of 26 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

• 라면23 ate it
  ramyeon₩4,000

  **A packet noodle, cooked, with one egg stirred in.** ₩4,000. One writer points out that the rice pouches are cold, which makes the noodles all but compulsory; all three set menus include them.

  **They cannot agree which noodle it is.** Six posts say Yeol-ramyeon (December 2024 to August 2026), two say Jin-ramyeon (May and September 2025), one says Shin-ramyeon (May 2025) — one writer noticed several kinds stacked in the kitchen, so it may vary, but we could not confirm it. **Nor on the cooking:** five praise it as properly firm, while a July 2025 post found it drowned and overcooked and a March 2026 one found it neither firm nor tasty. One writer advises asking for it firm when you order. **One egg goes in** — which one writer, who uses two at home, regrets.

• 세트메뉴 (길성 · 간단 · 푸짐)15 ate it
  set menu₩12,900 set · ₩15,900 set · ₩19,900 set

  Three of them. **Gilseong, ₩12,900**: eight pouches in two kinds, plus noodles. **Simple, ₩15,900**: four pouches, noodles, fried pork and a drink. **Hearty, ₩19,900**: eight pouches, noodles, fried pork and a drink. One writer notes the sets save between ₩900 and ₩1,900 over ordering separately.

  All three prices hold steady from December 2024 to June 2026. **The hearty set says two to three people and reads as two**, four writers agree — one says two eat comfortably and three only if all three are small eaters; another doubted it would be enough for two and then could barely finish. One dissents: fine for two women, she says, nowhere near enough for men. A writer who took the Gilseong set expected four pouches and got eight. **One post calls the ₩12,900 one a lunch set**, though the price and contents match the Gilseong.

• 참치마요유부13 ate it
  chamchi-mayo yubu₩4,900

  **The pouches are blowtorched before they reach you** — sixteen writers mention the scorch, and it is what separates this shop from every other inari place. Tuna and mayonnaise over the rice, four for ₩4,900.

  Four posts between May and October 2025 give ₩4,900. **Tuna or kimchi divides the room** — six for tuna, three for kimchi, five who say order both. One prefers the tuna for being the plainer of the two; one couple splits, he for kimchi, she for tuna. Two writers use a kimchi one to cut the mayonnaise when it gets rich. Four say a single pouch is too big for one mouthful, and two work out the price at a thousand-odd won each.

• 볶음김치유부13 ate it
  bokkeum-kimchi yubu₩4,900

  The one with fried kimchi inside — the same ₩4,900 for four, the same blowtorch.

  Three posts give ₩4,900. Two say the sharp fried kimchi cuts the richness of the tuna one; two simply call it a good change. **Two were less happy:** one found it too sweet (December 2024), and one tasted only old kimchi and no smoke at all (March 2026) — the only writer who did not find the scorch.

• 반반유부6 ate it
  banban yubu₩4,900

  Two tuna and two kimchi on one plate, at the same ₩4,900.

  Four writers choose it simply to have both. Nobody points out that the set menus already let you pick two kinds — but four of the six who ordered the half-and-half were not ordering a set.

• 길성유부 (기본)2 ate it
  gilseong yubu₩4,500

  The plain one, with nothing folded into the rice. **The cheapest at ₩4,500, and the least ordered** — two of twenty-seven writers.

  Three posts give ₩4,500. Of the two who ate it, one preferred the tuna after all. The board lists the three fillings side by side, and one writer calls them the shop's three champions.

• 김치국수1 ate it
  kimchi guksu

  **Not on the menu board but on a poster on the wall** — you ask for the noodles to be swapped for it.

  **One writer in twenty-seven has ordered it** (August 2026): kimchi and thin wheat noodles, and springier than she expected. **No post gives a price.**

Sides, and what comes with it

• 탕수육21 ate it
  tangsuyuk₩6,000

  **The old kind, with the sauce poured over.** Two writers spot fruit cocktail in it, and four reach for the same memory: the tangsuyuk from a shop outside the school gates. ₩6,000.

  Three posts give ₩6,000. **Seven call it crisp**, one noting that even under the sauce it stayed that way to the last piece. Three praise the thin shell and the solid meat inside. **Two complaints.** On quantity: a May 2025 writer finds ₩6,000 dear for the plateful, compared with a Chinese restaurant — then adds, shrewdly, that keeping the most expensive dish small is exactly what makes the whole menu look cheap. On smell: one diner caught a whiff of pork (and finished it anyway). One says it does not reach the fierce, just-fried quality of a proper Chinese kitchen.

• 순대3 ate it
  sundae₩4,500

  Glutinous blood sausage, ₩4,500, with sesame stirred into the salt.

  Two verdicts, opposed: one finds it springy and hot, one calls it below average. In one post the owner recognised a returning customer and **sent it out free.** Another writer wanted it with tteokbokki and found there was none.

• 오뎅2 ate it
  odeng₩3,500

  ₩3,500. There is a soy dip for it at the self-service counter.

  **Only two writers have eaten it**, one of whom says the broth settles the stomach. The other five only record it on the board.

To drink

• 음료수9 ate it
  eumryosu₩2,000

  ₩2,000. You write it on the slip and **take it out of the fridge yourself.** The two larger sets include one. Water comes from the cooler.

  One post lists the fridge: zero-sugar cola, pineapple soda, Milkis. Another notes the sign asking you to shut the fridge door. No alcohol — it appears in none of the twenty-seven posts.

Parking

9 posts say you cannot park. None say you can.

There is no car park, and nine writers say so; none of them found it easy. It is a university lane, so the kerbs are no help either — one drove, gave up halfway and walked the rest in the heat; another describes scanning the alleys with a hawk's eye; a third says it takes the parking skills you had as a student. Where to leave the car depends who you ask: the university's own paid lot, the district office lot ten or fifteen minutes away, the McDonald's five minutes off, the covered road by the district office. None of these comes from the shop. Each writer worked it out alone.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

Ground floor, in the lane. Only one post states it, but the address says so and neither stairs nor a lift appears anywhere in twenty-seven posts. Inside there are eight to ten tables like school desks, the floor stepping up once in the middle. Three writers note the open kitchen; two of them add that a sign forbids photographing it, and one was asked not to photograph the room at all (October 2025).

Nobody has looked at the doorway. The words wheelchair and pushchair appear in none of the twenty-seven posts. There are two things to go on. One writer says you come up a slope from the convenience store; several say the room is small — eight to ten tables — so you wait on chairs outside. And one, in April 2026, mentions a step inside: the floor is split into two levels, which she offers as part of the charm. How high that step is, and whether there is one at the door, nobody says.

The lavatory is inside — three writers say so, in August 2026, February 2025 and October 2024. The last adds that the door is "like a country door", and does not explain. Whether it is split between men and women, or how many stalls, nobody says. The other twenty-four posts never mention it.

No one mentioned: In a basement · 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.

How to read these posts

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 27 posts we gathered, 1 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

• Only three posts describe the walk. From the engineering-faculty bus stop, up the slope past the Seven-Eleven (October 2024); get off the bus at the engineering faculty (September 2024); six minutes on foot from the east gate (February 2025). Exactly one writer actually came by bus, for a lunch appointment on campus in August 2025. The other twenty-four either drove or do not say. Everyone who gives directions picks a different landmark — next to the McDonald's, up the Subway lane, between the two cafés, beside the burrito place, opposite the Chinese restaurant, across from the tteokbokki shop. Which reads as a shop you cannot see from the main road.
• You can take food away, but not leftovers. Five writers record that any dish can be ordered to go, and one boxed up untouched pouches for the children at home. But three note a sign saying leftovers cannot be packed, and one woman in April 2025 tried to take two pouches home, was told no, and forced them down instead. Outside food and drink are barred too, say two. There are other notices: everyone in your party must be present before you are served; while people are waiting, eat and go; do not move the chairs; please shut the fridge. They divide opinion. A May 2025 writer found the wall of prohibitions hard to warm to and would not recommend the place to the thin-skinned. Another writer, the same month, read the queue notice and started looking forward to the meal.
• Not one post declares a sponsorship. Eight state that they paid, and one adds a line insisting it is not an advertisement. One visit did appear on two blogs, though — two posts from 4 and 7 June 2026 recount the same Saturday, the same wife, the same television programme, the same complaint about the single egg and the same boxed-up pouches, in the same order; we counted one. And two plates went unpaid for: one writer was recognised as a returning customer and given blood sausage, another was handed fried sweet potato at the end of the meal. Neither came with a review attached.
