Bokkeumdang Seongsu

보끔당 성수점 Bokkeum means stir-braised, as in dakbokkeumtang (spicy braised chicken), and dang means house — one blogger reads the name as 'the house that makes good braised chicken'.

Compiled from 18 blog posts read in fullSources →

A braised-chicken (dakbokkeumtang) and jjimdak restaurant on the ground floor of Yeongdong Techno Tower, right by Seongsu Station exit 1 — the flagship of Bokkeumdang, the second brand from the company behind Yupdduk tteokbokki. The braise comes out of a pressure cooker and three posts describe finishing it at the table on a three-minute timer. April 2025 posts give 27,000 won for the house braise; March 2026 posts give 32,000 and 33,000 won for the boneless aged-kimchi version, and a single-serving clay-pot braise was 9,000 won with rice at lunch (11:00-15:00). We read 30 posts from October 2024 to October 2026; 20 describe an actual meal here. Four were about the Seoul Nat'l Univ. branch or a neighboring shop and were set aside.

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. Five posts say the portions are big: a soy jjimdak for two arrived on a plate larger than a serving bowl, a rosé jjimdak could have fed four, and a couple couldn't finish an aged-kimchi braise with added udon. Only one October 2024 post, about the single-serving clay pot, said there wasn't much chicken, though it was still filling.
  2. You choose a spice level, and the verdict tracks the level: four posts found it hot, two did not. The two who had level 1 (April 2025) said it wasn't spicy at all; a level-2 eater called it quite hot but enjoyable; the level-3 table said it was far too hot and one friend nearly cried. One post notes the jjimdak dishes have no spice option.
  3. No post reports actually waiting. Two say they walked straight in. One arrived at 5 pm right after the break and found it quiet, but full by 6; another booked through Naver on a Friday and warned that walk-ins might wait. One post mentions waiting chairs outside the entrance.
  4. Three posts put it about two minutes, or 50 meters, from Seongsu Station exit 1.
2 more
  1. Three posts say you order on a tablet at the table, and three say the basic sides — pickled radish, bean-sprout soup, kimchi — are refilled self-serve.
  2. Two posts describe four-person tables — about nine in March 2026, about ten in October 2026. Two call the room spacious and four call it clean.

Where it is

Map showing where Bokkeumdang Seongsu 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

Three posts put it about two minutes, or 50 meters, from Seongsu Station exit 1.

Getting inside

The ground floor appears only in addresses and check-ins; no visitor described it.

Nobody mentioned a step at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. That means we don't know, not that there is no barrier.

No one said where the restroom is. One post copied a listing line about separate men's and women's restrooms, which we did not count.

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 24 posts we gathered, 6 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.

2026-03-232 posts in one day
2026-02-242 posts in one day

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

  • Seven of the 20 visit posts are by the chain's own brand ambassadors, and five of those describe the same company-hosted meal after a cleanup event on 22 March 2025, with the table already laid before they ordered. Six more ambassador posts only introduce the menu without a visit. Three posts say the writer paid.
  • All opening hours are copied from listings. Six posts agree: weekdays 11:00-23:00 with a 15:00-17:00 break, weekends 12:00-23:00, last order 22:30. Only one October 2026 post lists a weekend break (15:00-16:00), so we can't tell whether that is new. No post names a closing day.
  • Read prices with their dates. Two early-March 2026 posts disagree on the boneless aged-kimchi braise, 32,000 vs 33,000 won. One couple paid 33,000 won in total for that dish with two rice bowls and a soda after a monthly discount. No one called it expensive; one post found it cheaper than a rival jjimdak place.
  • Two posts give the phone number 0507-1412-1559. Two mention booking: one reserved through Naver, one group had its table set in advance.
  • One March 2026 post says the shop newly opened in September 2025, but visit posts at the same address go back to October 2024 and an April 2025 post cites a June 2022 opening. We could not tell whether this was a refurbishment or a mistake.
