Gogung (Jeonju Main Branch) 고궁 전주본점
Jeonju · Deokjin, Jeonbuk Univ. & Palbok · Meal
Gogung is a long-established bibimbap restaurant that serves the Jeonju classic in a heavy brass bowl. The bowl keeps the rice warm, and the dish is topped with a neat arrangement of vegetables, egg and sauce. Mix it all together and add red pepper paste to taste.
Side dishes are generous, and the dining room is roomy enough for families and groups. Mid-range prices apply and may change. Staff may speak limited English, so point at the menu to order.
It makes a good alternative to the busier downtown bibimbap shops.
The restaurant is near Deokjin Park, about 25 minutes from the Hanok Village by taxi or city bus. Show the Korean name to a driver. (Show a driver: 고궁 전주본점)
