Gwangjang Market's yukhoe alley houses Yukhoe Jamaejip Bonjeom, an establishment with a history spanning more than five decades. Its reputation is built on consistency, reflected in a 4.2 Google rating from over 2,000 contributors. The menu centers on perilla oil and aged kimchi yukhoe bibimbap. Unlike common versions using spicy sauce, this dish uses fragrant perilla oil to clarify the flavors of individual components. The oil allows the raw beef, chopped aged kimchi, sprouts, and seaweed to remain distinct rather than being masked by a dominant seasoning. The tartness of the kimchi provides a textural contrast to the fresh meat, while mixing in egg yolk and julienned pear highlights the beef's natural quality. Meals include a beef radish soup filled with large pieces of meat. Located at 200-4 Jongno, Jongno-gu, the interior remains clean and features tabletop kiosks for efficient service. Although seating is compact, partition screens provide separation, and two-person tables accommodate solo diners. High turnover rates minimize waiting despite the shop's popularity. The restaurant is situated within a two minute walk of Jongno 5-ga Station Exit 8.
