Kobongmin is probably the best gimbap I have tried in four years in Jinju. They are considerably more pricey than other gimbap restaurants, but the taste is also superior. I particularly like the pork cutlet gimbap. There are several locations and this one (near the university) is my least favorite. The service here is always wanting.

Mr. Bossam just opened in Sangdaedong, Jinju. We got carry-out from there as part of their grand opening special. The bossam was fairly good. The meat was soft and easy to eat. The portions looked small, but proved sufficient. The meat also came with several sides including some kind of kimchi radish (with a slightly spicy sauce, but not kkakdugi), cabbage for wrapping, and several choices of seasoning (chili paste, the fermented shrimp, etc.). I was a little disappointed with their complete rip-off of Mr. Pizza, both in name and slogan. But as far as the food goes, it was a satisfactory visit.

晋州名物はウナギ。「南江長魚」は矗石門の目の前にあるレストランで、2階の窓辺からは南江を見渡すことができます。日本ではウナギといえば蒲焼ですが、晋州では甘辛いヤンニョム(薬味)味とタレで味付けされた塩味の2種類の味があり、観光客には塩味がオススメと言われました。エゴマの葉やサンチュにニンニクを入れてくるんで焼肉のように食べると、淡白さもなくなって食が進みました。こんな食べ方もありですね。

맛은 평범한 곰탕 맛인데 간 안해서 나와 좋아요. 그리고 아기 데리고 갔더니 아기용으오 조금 주셔서 감사했어요. 직원분도 친절 하세요. 다만 9시 오픈이라 갔더니 그날은 10시에 시작이라고 하셔서 한시간 떠서 쫌 그랬어요.

뻔하다고만 생각한 한식집. 고급레스토랑가면 1인5만원은 기본인데 항상 실망만 하고 나왔던 터라 송화한정식은 가성비 대비 최고였습니다.1인 25000원에 최고의 식사를 가족과함께 즐겼어요. 서울에서 먹은 5만원보다 훨씬 갚어치있다고 느꼈습니다. 지방이라 가격이 더 싸더라도 퀄리티가 정말 최고였어요!강추합니다.

Its hard to miss this place when walking towards the intercity bus station from the fortress east gate along the narrow road by the north shore of the river. The traditional ornated roofed restaurant sits just west of the bridge.Both fresh water and eels from the seas are served korean bbq styled. One can also get eel soup here. The price is, however, quite expensive for typical korean eat. This may be due to the fact that fish and seafood are simply expensive in korea.

Samsung Family Buffet

Reviewed By Michael D

The Samsung Family Buffet has excellent selection and is a good deal for the roughly 17,000 Won that it costs. Note that it is more expensive on the weekends and holidays (I think around 22,000 Won). Kids pay 5,500 Won for 2-6 years-old and somewhere around 13,000 for 6-adult. I'm not sure on the older than 6, though. There is a section dedicated to Japanese food with sushi and other dishes. Another section has traditional Korean food. There are also spaghettis, pizza, and many other dishes. The quantity of dishes was quite surprising. The food is a little better quality than I expect from a buffet, but certainly not anything wonderful. The best part of the experience for us was the steak. They fire up a grill about every 50 minutes and cook steak cubes right there. There is a sign in English with the times or you can just wait to see the big fire burst out in the middle of the food floor. The steak was delicious and better than a good number of steaks I have had elsewhere, plus it is right off the grill when you get it. The line builds up fast though and they only do a certain amount, so get in line as soon as they start grilling. They have a number of drink options that come with the price, but they are scattered all over and some are a little hard to find or notice. I was done eating before I found half of them. There was also an area for mixing cocktails, I am assuming you have to pay extra for the alcohol, but all of the mixers were set out for anyone to use. I am not a drinker, so I didn't inquire into this further. They also have an entire section dedicated to desserts. I didn't eat any though, so I can't say much about them.

I love this place. The food is amazing and the so is the service. I would have rated it five, except that four of the last five times I have tried to eat here they have been closed (during normal working hours) with no explanation as to why or when they will be reopening. It is very frustrating to have a restaurant that just closes up shop randomly. The food is made from buckwheat and is a healthy and tasty twist to many of the traditional dishes including pork cutlets, jajang (black soy bean noodles), and Galbitang. It is currently may favorite eat in Jinju. The prices are also very affordable.
