Food Gallery Bean
푸드갤러리빈 Pudeu Gaelleori Bin The name reads as the English words 'food gallery' plus 'bin', which one blogger spelled out as 'bean' — fitting for a house built around tofu.
Compiled from 5 blog posts read in fullSources →
A tofu specialist in a side street of Seongsu (Wangsimni-ro 6-gil), near Ttukseom station. It serves à la carte dishes such as spicy seafood soft tofu, braised tofu with brisket, fire-grilled pork and kongguksu, plus a tofu tasting course that must be booked. Prices on record: 12,000 won for the soft tofu, 22,000 won for the miso cream tofu, 45,000 won for the course. We read 30 posts from December 2025 to October 2026; 10 were about this restaurant and 7 described an actual meal. The other 20 were about other places or a batch of sponsored posts for a frozen financier supplier.

What sets it apart
- Four of the seven visit posts said they booked. The course is only served on reservation — one post that booked a table but not the course could only order à la carte and warned readers to reserve the course in advance. Another skipped the course on purpose to get the pork again.
- There is a separate room: two posts mention it — one was shown to 'a small room with two tables' after booking the course, another noted an inner room with a reserved table for groups. A third sat at a semi-separate four-top next to a six-seat table. One post also mentions outdoor tables by the entrance.
- Two posts found the fried tofu crisp: one said the thin coating on the miso cream tofu tasted like fried cheese, the other praised the course's crispy tofu bites. One post said the food was not greasy; another found it salty for their taste while their companion thought it just right.

No parking of its own: the one post that drove parked at nearby Seongsu Art Hall. Other 'no parking' lines in posts are copied listing info.

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
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
No post described the floor from experience; the '1st floor' in the address is copied text.
Nobody wrote about a step at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access.
Nobody wrote about where the toilet is or whether it is split by gender.
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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 8 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.

What we do not know
- One post said it is very close to Ttukseom station and walkable from Seongsu station. Two posts said it is tucked into an alley and hard to spot, one noting that construction next door hid the entrance.
- No post described waiting. 'Lunch queue' appears only in one post's title with no body text, so we did not count it; one post said nearby office workers fill it at lunch. This means nobody wrote about a wait, not that there is none.
- Only one visit post gave opening hours, copied from a listing: Monday to Saturday 10:30–22:00, closed Sunday (September 2026). Older 2025 posts and a TV recap gave weekends as 12:00–22:00, and another promotional post 12:00–21:00. Check whether it opens on Sundays before going.
- Only two posts gave prices, so we know three: 12,000 won, 22,000 won and 45,000 won for the course. One post called it cheap by Seongsu standards. Other prices are unknown.
- Two promotional posts list the phone as 0507-1397-9644 and a 2025 post as 02-499-9644. Booking channels for the course (CatchTable, Naver) are likewise copied, not verified by us.
