We went there as a group of 12 people after asking our hotel to reserve ahead of time. The restaurant specializes in duck soup. It basically consists of a big earthen pot filled with a thick broth in which some particular chive-like vegetables and pieces of duck are put. The duck is eaten with some sauce you get to make yourself (with the help of the staff) and tastes a bit sour. The duck still has bones so for people who have troubles with chopstick it can be a little bit challenging to eat.The taste however is worth all the small troubles you may have. Besides, the staff may not speak English well but they are very nice and quickly understand whatever you need. Foreigners may want to take note that both spicy and non-spicy versions of the dish are available. Also, the seats are directly on the floor, leg crossed, so some people may find it a little uncomfortable (but there is a lot of space to stretch.

This is a Buddhist vegetarian temple restaurant, run by monks, at the foot of a mountain, and so is surrounded by beautiful scenery. It is ideal for a meal before or after a gentle walk or serious hike in the surrounding area. It is out of the city centre, but a taxi cost less than 10,000 won, and was well worth it. Just hail a taxi in the street, say 'Dong-gu' and show the driver the postcode, '61494'. The restaurant itself is a huge buffet, with an amazing salad bar. All you can eat for 7,000 won, opening at 11.30am. You really cannot go wrong. If you have the time whilst you are visiting Gwangju, I would highly recommend lunch here, and a walk around the surrounding area.

They have three main dishes which are clam noodle soup, redbean noodle soup and king dumplings. I must say their home made kimchi is really tasty but spicy. Long queue outside the restaurant during lunch hours.

The neighborhood around this restaurant is filled with many restaurants serving ddukgalbi ("DGB" for short). DGB is basically your normal rib meat (galbi) that has been hand-chopped to be made into a galbi. Instead of barbecuing galbi, this is a more convenient alternative (no smoke, charcoal to deal with at your table). It's also easier to feed to younger children and should not be spicy at all.I am not sure why this place is called "No. 2." We looked for restaurant no. 1 on a Sunday evening but it (100 meters away) was closed.Seating is on the floor. The main dish of DGB is made from Korean-origin beef ("hanwoo") and cost KRW 19,000 per person. We ordered three servings as well as naengmyun (cold noodles in broth) and bibimbap. This was unusual as bibimbap is usually served as a mean in itself. But the portion they brought was a little bit smaller and very tasty.The DGB itself was quite good. Meat quality was good. The marinade/sauce was a bit on the sweet side and the DGB itself was very charred. But no issues really.The real star of the evening though were all the side dishes that came with our order. The veggies would appear not to be out of the ordinary but the quality of the ingredients was outstanding. The "bone soup" that came as a type of appetizer was very hearty after a long day of walking around. The soup says, "Come on in and set yourself down fo a while."Then the veggies. A plain bean sprout marinade made with sesame oil was delish. So were the marinaded spinach. There was a dish of onions and cucumbers picked in soy sauce that was...wow. Just good. It made me regret that cities like Seoul don't have vegetables that are this quality and restaurants that pay this much attention to what others would consider "negligible" side dishes. These little stars paired with the moon of bone soup and planet of DGB really made the whole universe of a meal, in a word, scintillating. The cucumbers that the restaurant used in various dishes really stood out.

Excellent menu with lots of different choices. Mutton is available on the menu. Atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Food is always fresh and delicious. Indian style Currys are available and not changed for the Korean palette. Specials are available for lunch as well as set menus for multiple people.

The line out the door on the Sunday afternoon we ate here was a sure-fire sign that the restaurant was a local hit. We were quickly seated, ordered the pork and bimbibap. Both dishes were exception. The coleslaw/salad with mandarin oranges they serve is incredible. I will definitely come back to Gwangju for this place. The prices reasonable for the service, quality of food and atmosphere. Definitely Recommend!
