Bapjangin Pork Stew Hongdae
밥장인 돼지찌개 홍대점 · Soups & Stews
ABOUT
Bapjangin Pork Stew is a casual Korean restaurant close to Hongik University Station, specializing in hearty jjigae-style meals served with rice. The menu includes Jjageuri (Pork Stew), pork kimchi jjigae, sundubu-based stews and several set meals. The current Jjageuri and pork kimchi jjigae are ₩11,000, making the restaurant an accessible option for a simple Korean meal around Hongdae. The restaurant is particularly practical for travelers because it works for both solo dining and small groups. Its menu is built around individual portions and combination sets, rather than requiring a large shared order. The location is also very close to Hongik University Station, making it an easy stop while exploring Hongdae or the nearby Yeonnam-dong area.
WHAT LOCALS SAY
some diners have found the individual dishes ordinary, and one review specifically criticized the lack of a burner to keep the stew bubbling at the table. That is useful context—this is best presented as a practical, approachable Korean meal around Hongdae rather than a destination restaurant that visitors need to travel across Seoul to experience.

Bapjangin is a good option if you are around Hongdae and want an easy Korean lunch or dinner without spending much. It is particularly convenient for solo travelers because individual stews are available, while the set meals give groups more variety. The restaurant is close to Hongik University Station, so it can easily fit into a Hongdae or Yeonnam walking itinerary. The current listing shows 10:00–22:00 every day with a 21:20 last order, although older reviews list different hours and a Tuesday closing day. For Eat in Korea, I would use the current hours but still recommend checking before visiting because this restaurant's online listings have changed over time. Parking is currently listed as unavailable, so walking or public transportation is the safer option.
