If you are looking for a good value meal in Muan, Baek Chun-hee Baekban Jeongsik
Hello, everyone! Today, I'm going to share my review of "Baek Chun-hee Baekban Jeongsik" located in Muan, Jeollanam-do. I had some business in Muan and was wondering where to eat lunch, so I visited this place after a local's recommendation. It was a satisfying meal beyond my expectations. Now, let's start my honest review!
Location and first impressions
Baek Chun-hee Baekban Jeongsik is located in Seongnae-ri, Muan-eup, Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do. The exact address is 164-5 Seongnae-ri, Muan-eup, Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, so it's quite convenient to access from downtown Muan. There's also a parking lot in front of the store, so it was easy to visit by car. The exterior looks simple and has a typical neighborhood restaurant feel, but when I opened the door and went in, I was greeted by a clean interior and warm atmosphere.
Menu and prices
The signature menu here is, of course, "Baekban Jeongsik." The price is 10,000 won per person (as of April 2025), which is really reasonable considering the current prices. I wondered if I could eat my fill with just one set meal, but when the food actually came out, the portions were generous and there were plenty of side dishes, so my worries quickly disappeared. There were no additional menus or drinks, but I was completely satisfied with just one set meal.
Food taste and composition
The food came out in less than 5 minutes after ordering. Just looking at the set meal on the table made my mouth water. Basically, rice, beef radish soup, and 10-11 side dishes came out, but I heard that the side dishes change slightly depending on the season. When I went, kimchi, rolled eggs, bean sprout salad, japchae, boiled pork, and braised radish and raw fish came out. In particular, the braised fish was not salty but had just the right amount of seasoning, and the radish was well-cooked, making it perfect to eat with rice.
The beef radish soup had a rich flavor, and each side dish was not spicy but felt like a clean home-cooked meal, so I felt comfortable while eating it. The rice was freshly cooked, so it was shiny, and the portions were generous, so I didn't have to worry about being hungry. Personally, I kept reaching for the kimchi because it was spicy and had a deep flavor. They said that side dish refills were available, but I didn't need to refill because the portions were so large.
Atmosphere and service
The restaurant's atmosphere was quiet and cozy. There were no customers because it was before lunch time, but there were quite a few customers when I left after eating, but I was able to eat leisurely without feeling noisy or crowded. The owner and staff were friendly, so they answered my questions with a smile, and they took good care of me while I was eating. In particular, since it's a place that many locals visit, I felt the warmth that is typical of local restaurants.
Overall review
Muan Baek Chun-hee Baekbanjeongsik doesn't have a fancy or special menu, but it's the perfect place for those who want a simple and sincere meal. The quantity and taste are both satisfying for the price, and the clean atmosphere makes me 100% willing to visit again! If you have a chance to go to Muan, stop by for lunch or dinner. A hearty Baekbanjeongsik that won't leave you hungry awaits you.
