Gomgol Sikdang 곰골식당
Gongju · Gongsanseong & Jemincheon Old Town · Meal
A home-style Korean restaurant known for grilled fish and braised cutlassfish served as a full meal with rice and a table of side dishes. The cooking is the kind of familiar, mild food that many Korean families eat on ordinary days, and portions are generous. It is a safe pick for older travelers or anyone who prefers not to eat anything very spicy.
The dining room is simple with floor and table seating. The restaurant is closed Mondays and may close between lunch and dinner. English menus are unlikely, but pointing and photos usually do the job.
Fish bones can be tricky for small children, so ask staff for help if needed.
Walk about ten minutes from Sanseong Market, near the stream and the boarding-house lanes. Public parking lies nearby. (Show a driver: 곰골식당)
