Hanguk-jip
한국집
A three-generation Jeonju bibimbap restaurant founded in 1952, next to Gyeonggijeon Hall in Hanok Village. It is one of the village's best-known bibimbap spots.
Hanguk-jip was founded in 1952 by Grandmother Lee Bunrye and is now run by the third generation. It is regarded as one of Jeonju's representative old bibimbap restaurants and also has a branch in Seoul. The signature Jeonju bibimbap is made with cooked Korean beef and more than ten other ingredients. The restaurant also serves raw beef bibimbap (yukhoe) and stone-pot bibimbap, and its sauces are made in-house. It is next to Gyeonggijeon in Jeonju Hanok Village, within walking distance, and has its own car park. Jeonju bibimbap costs about 15,000 won and raw beef bibimbap about 17,000 won. The restaurant closes for roughly an hour in the late afternoon, and queues are common at mealtimes. Some reviewers feel it has become touristy.
