Soup and riceKorean

Yukjeon Gukbap Jonggagyeok-jeom

육전국밥 종각역점 Yukjeon is thin-sliced beef dipped in egg and pan-fried, and gukbap is soup served with rice — the house lays strips of yukjeon on top of its beef soup.

Compiled from 14 blog posts read in fullSources →

A branch of the Yukjeon Gukbap chain at Jongno 68, ground floor, right by exit 4 of Jonggak Station. The signature is red beef soup with rice topped with strips of egg-battered beef; five posts put it at 11,000 won. It also serves gomtang, buckwheat noodles, a tripe hangover soup, and pancakes and hot pots for evening drinking. You order from a kiosk at the table and refill side dishes from a self-serve bar. Seven posts say it is open 24 hours. We read 20 posts from 31 January to 8 September 2026; two were about other restaurants and one only repeated others' information, leaving 17 first-hand visits.

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

  1. Three side dishes come to the table first — cubed radish kimchi, young-radish kimchi and pickled onion — and you top up at a self-serve bar; ten posts mention it. Three say napa-cabbage kimchi is only on the bar, not on the table, and one notes there are two bars, by the entrance and further in. Two posts copied a sign on the bar saying no Chinese-made kimchi is used; that is the restaurant's own claim, not something diners verified.
  2. Ten posts call the room large. Four mention wide spacing between tables, and several describe solo seats along the window; one describes a long bar counter facing the glass front plus a private room for groups. One post found seats free at a weekday lunch; another said even this big room fills up at lunchtime.
  3. Four posts say food arrives fast — one timed it at under three minutes from pressing the order button. Eight posts describe ordering and paying up front on a tablet or kiosk at the table. One says only mobile pay works at the table and cash goes to the counter inside; another says to call staff for cash or takeout.
  4. Nine posts mention how close it is to the station: out of Jonggak exit 4 and immediately on the right, under a minute, about 100 m, or a three-minute walk.

Two posts say there is no parking of its own; one suggests the YMCA lot opposite or the G1 Seoul unmanned lot, the other the Jongno Tower car park. Two more 'no parking' lines were copied from listings.

Where it is

Map showing where Yukjeon Gukbap Jonggagyeok-jeom 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

Nine posts mention how close it is to the station: out of Jonggak exit 4 and immediately on the right, under a minute, about 100 m, or a three-minute walk.

Getting inside

Toilet inside2 of 14 posts
Separate restrooms2 of 14 posts

No one described the floor from experience. The address says ground floor and posts say it is visible from the exit, but none mentioned steps or levels.

Nobody mentioned an entrance step or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in — that means we don't know, not that it's impossible. One post's info list says high chairs are available, but that was copied, not observed.

Two posts say the toilets are inside and separated by gender. No one said whether there is an accessible toilet.

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 15 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.

What we do not know

  • Waiting is split one to one: one post says there is sometimes a queue that clears quickly, another walked straight in at a packed lunchtime. No one recorded how many minutes they waited.
  • Three posts went alone, two in a group such as coworkers, one with a mother. None said they went with friends.
  • On heat, two posts found the yukjeon beef soup only mildly peppery, one called it spicy.
  • Opinions on price split: one post said the 17,000-won set is not cheap, another thought the 11,000-won soup good value. The posts put a meal at 10,000–11,000 won for soup and 17,000 won for a set.
  • Seven posts all say it is open 24 hours, four of them adding no days off. Four of those lines were copied from map listings, and one 'no days off' was what staff told the writer.
  • Two posts give the same phone number, 02-723-6782. No one said whether reservations are taken.
  • One post reads like promotional copy, so we counted only what it said it experienced (going with coworkers, strong air-conditioning); another only summarised other people's reviews and was not counted as a visit.
