Myeongdong Gogung 고궁 (古宮) is a restaurant in Seoul famous for its
jeonju bibimbap 전주비빔밥. Because of all the
good reviews, I came here for lunch after a
morning visit to N Seoul Tower.
The restaurant itself isn't too hard to find, but it's nestled away from the hustle and bustle that is the middle of Myeongdong.

I ordered
dolsot bibimbap instead of the
jeonju bibimbap because I wanted something hot. However, as it goes with most Korean food I've eaten while there, the temperature wasn't as hot as I would have liked it to be. I also ordered
pajeon and
japchae, both of which were delicious. All the food came in huge bowls, but the actual amount of food was not that much. I guess I'm too used to Texas-sized portions!

Overall, the food was pretty good. Everything cost 42,000 won. Here is Myeondong Gogung's menu in case you're wondering about their other items:

I probably wouldn't visit here again because while the food was okay, it was nothing special. You can probably find the same things elsewhere for cheaper.
