About

Jeonju Gogung is one of the most well-known restaurants for Jeonju-style bibimbap, located inside the city's historic Hanok Village. While bibimbap is served across Korea, Jeonju's version is considered the gold standard — made with locally sourced ingredients, premium beef, and kongnamul (seasoned bean sprouts) that are a Jeonju specialty. The stone-pot version arrives sizzling hot with the rice beginning to crisp at the edges, and is accompanied by a spread of small side dishes that showcases the depth of Jeonju's renowned food culture.
