Ipongnyo Guri Ssambap Restaurant: More than 30 dishes

Gyeongju cuisine is characterised by two things: bread and ssambap. The row of ssambap restaurants between tumuli Park and Wolseong Park, is Gyeongju's culinary hotspot and where most local coach parties and tour groups go to eat. Iponngnyo Guri is considered to be the best ssambap restaurant in town and it is always packed with families and parties of Korean schoolchildren.

Ssambap consists of more than 30 dishes, including rice, fried fish, pork, kimchi and soup, accompanied by a pile of salad leaves in which to wrap the meat.
There is simply too much food and you will probably find that you can eat no more than half of it.

Comparison: about average

Directions: At the southern end of Gyeongju, on the main road, opposite the entrance to Wolseong Park. The easy way to find it is just to tell a taxi driver, "Ssambap."

Price: US$11-20
