Bieung Banjeom is a Chinese restaurant in the Bieungdo area of Gunsan, Jeonbuk Province, widely recognized for its cuttlefish tangsuyuk and seafood jjamppong. The cuttlefish tangsuyuk is the signature dish, featuring whole cuttlefish deep-fried to achieve a chewy yet crispy texture that tastes excellent even without dipping sauce. The small size provides generous portions for sharing, though it is priced slightly higher than standard tangsuyuk. The seafood jjamppong is loaded with squid, clams, and other shellfish, producing a broth that is refreshingly clean and deep in flavor without being overly spicy, making it suitable for children. Adding cheongyang peppers allows guests to adjust the heat level to their liking. The gan-jjajang contains a hearty amount of seafood and meat, with a clean yet subtly sweet flavor that comes from careful preparation without relying on artificial seasoning. The jjeoban-jjamppong, a platter-style jjamppong, is a hidden favorite among regulars and works well for mixing with rice when visiting with two or more people. Despite the restaurant's considerable size, tables fill up by 11:30 on weekends, and roughly eighty percent of the clientele are local residents, reflecting deep community trust. Many diners drive one to two hours specifically to eat here, cementing the restaurant's standing as one of the most acclaimed Chinese restaurants in the Gunsan region. Staff at both the counter and in the dining hall greet guests warmly with loud, enthusiastic hellos and provide attentive service throughout the meal.
