Visit Jongno Bansanghoe
Everything you need to plan your visit
Reservations
We're open weekdays from 11:00 to 22:00 (break 15:00–17:00, last order 21:00) and closed on weekends. Reservations are recommended for groups and for company dinners. Walk-ins are always welcome.
You can reserve by phone or through Naver.
Walk-ins Welcome
Individual guests and small groups are usually seated right away. Weekday lunch peaks between 12:00 and 13:00, so come a little early or after 13:00 for a calmer meal.
Best Times to Visit
Weekday lunch (11:00–15:00) comes with free-flow rice and makgeolli — a great value bansang. Evenings are relaxed and ideal for bossam and drinks. Please note we take a break from 15:00 to 17:00 and are closed on weekends.
Rainy days pair perfectly with buchu-jeon and a kettle of dongdongju — a beloved Korean tradition.
For First-Time Visitors
- An English menu is available, and our staff are happy to help you choose.
- At lunch, start with the jeyuk bokkeum or kimchi-jjim bansang — rice and makgeolli are free-flow. In the evening, the Bansanghoe Bossam is the one to get.
- Dishes are meant to be shared. Order a few items for the table.
- No special etiquette required. Just relax and enjoy a home-style meal.
- We accept credit cards, Samsung Pay, Kakao Pay, and ZeroPay.
