Compiled from 17 blog posts read in fullSources →
A budae-jjigae (army-base stew) specialist that opened in summer 2026 on the Irwon-dong food street, across from the back gate of Samsung Medical Center. Several posts give the house stew as 26,000 won for two and the rolled omelette as 9,900 won; one couple paid 35,900 won for both. Rice comes in a big bowl with the stew, along with a pat of butter for mixing into it, and side dishes, broth and ramen are self-serve. Many posts note a single-portion menu, so you can eat here alone. We read 17 posts dated 29 June to 13 October 2026, all from people who went.

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
- All 17 posts said the portions were big. One thought extra ham had been added by mistake; another still had plenty of ham left after the rice and a round of ramen. One family took leftovers home.
- Thirteen posts helped themselves to more side dishes at the self-service bar. The three standard sides are kimchi, bean sprouts and fish cake; the bar also has broth, ramen, tongs and scissors. Nearly every post mentioned that the ramen is free and unlimited. One was told to add broth a little at a time so the stew doesn't go thin.
- Six posts mention discounts. Several relay a weekday promotion schedule (unlimited rice on Mondays, half-price drinks on Wednesdays, free brisket or dumplings on Thursdays, an extra portion with Friday takeout). An October post says the solo set drops from 20,900 to 18,900 won between 11:30 and 12:30, and an August post lists receipt-review discounts such as 30% off the omelette.
- Three posts said the broth wasn't salty; one said it can get salty as it reduces but you can thin it with broth from the bar. One summed it up as loads of ham without the saltiness.
2 more
- Four posts ordered by kiosk or tablet. Two said there is one at each table, and two said you pay when you order.
- One post ran into a one-dish-per-person rule: a party of four wanted three portions and had to order four (August). Many others note that a single diner can order a one-person portion.

Parking is a few spaces out front. Four posts parked or said you can park there; two said it was hard to use, one finding it full on a weekend and parking elsewhere, another calling it too cramped and pointing to the public lot. Counts given were two, three and three to four cars, and several posts mention a public street lot right outside.

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
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
No post describes the floor or any stairs from experience. The address says ground floor, but we don't know first-hand.
No post says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller gets in. That means nobody wrote about it, not that it's a problem.
No post says where the toilet is. A gender-separated restroom appears only in a copied info block, so we didn't count it.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · 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.

What we do not know
- Spice reports differ: two posts found it spicy (one of them the jjamppong version), one said even people who can't handle heat would like it. One post was told the mild and spicy versions differ only by green chilli.
- No post reports waiting. One arrived as the first customer and watched the room fill by noon; others say office workers and hospital visitors crowd in at lunch. Whether there is a queue, we don't know.
- A sign welcomes solo diners, but two posts (June and August) say solo diners are turned away or should avoid 11:30 to 12:30. An October post lists that same window as a solo-set discount hour, so we can't tell whether the rule still applies.
- Ten posts give the same opening hours, 11:00 to 21:00 daily with a 15:00 to 17:00 break, some adding last orders at 20:20. Most of these are copied info blocks, and no post mentions a closing day.
- An August post copied the menu prices for two: 26,000 won for the house stew, 24,000 for the budget version, 28,000 brisket, 30,000 for jjamppong or mala, 34,000 beef intestine. A single portion was 13,000 won in a July post and 12,900 in August. Posts from September on give no menu prices.
- The phone number 0507-1307-0531 appears in four posts, all in copied info blocks. Naver booking is likewise only mentioned in those blocks; no one actually reserved.
- Only one post, with a receipt attached, says the writer paid; the other 16 say nothing about sponsorship. Many repeat the same points in the same order (how to make butter rice, the lid holder, the ten-year broth, the weekday deals), which suggests commissioned posts. Claims like a broth from a ten-year master or six special hams are the shop's own wording, and we did not use them as evidence.
