용산회식당
I ate hoedeopbap at this restaurant in Gyeongju's Naenam-myeon, which has served a single dish for 43 years. The 15,000-won meal starts with scorched-rice water and mussel soup, and following the eating instructions posted on the chopstick holder, adding chojang gradually and mixing keeps the vegetables and fish from releasing excess moisture, so the flavor stays consistent to the last bite. The cutlassfish napa kimchi is distinctive, and you can request bone-in sashimi if you prefer more texture. The owner's warmth is memorable, though some find the enthusiastic hospitality slightly overwhelming. Even arriving at 11:30 on a weekday can mean a queue number in the 50s, with waits ranging from 45 minutes to two hours. Parking is right beside the restaurant, and cash or bank transfer gets a small discount. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
