Gunsan City's designated restaurants: the 34 'Gunsan Good Restaurants' of 2026, with menus, hours, parking and phone numbers

Gunsan City designated 34 restaurants as 2026 'Gunsan Good Restaurants'.

For soy-marinated blue crab, there are Gyegok Garden, Gungjeon Kkotgejang Main Branch and Yuseong Garden, and for spicy seafood noodle soup, Ssangyong Banjeom and Bokseongnu. For soba, there is Myeongdong Soba. For raw fish, fish stew and sushi, there are 9 places, including Saemangeum Hoetjip, Deungdaero and Yujeong Chobap. For Korean beef and grilled short rib patties, there are 5 places, including Gunsan Hanuchon, Wanjuok and Jin Galbi. For bean sprout soup with rice, there is Ilhaeok, and for pasta and Indian food, Motte, Zoom In Myeonsamuso, Eunpa Ariul and Sweet India. 15 of the 34 are also designated Model Restaurants. We grouped the 32 that have a place page on this site by their menu in the designation table, with hours, closing days, parking and phone numbers. Daejeong Soba is listed separately because its address in the table differs from the one on this site. Tteurak in Gaejeong-myeon, which is on the table, closed on September 21, 2026 (Ministry of the Interior and Safety licensing data). Compared with the January 2025 Lunar New Year holiday opening table (36 restaurants), Motte was added, and Nobangchon, Dumegol and Sindon Pork Ribs dropped out.

What changed in the 2026 Gunsan Good Restaurants compared with 2025?

The opening table of model and good restaurants that Gunsan City posted for the January 2025 Lunar New Year holidays had 36 good restaurants, and the 2026 designation list has 34. In between, Motte was added (from the September 2025 Chuseok holiday table). Dumegol and Sindon Pork Ribs (from the September 2025 table) and Nobangchon (from the September 2026 table) dropped out. Applications for the 2026 Gunsan Good Restaurants designation were taken from March 30 to April 10. source 2

What kind of restaurants does Gunsan City designate as Gunsan Good Restaurants?

Gunsan City takes applications every spring (March 2024, April 2025 and March–April 2026). In 2026, candidates came from owners' applications, recommendations by heads of eup, myeon and dong and by the Gunsan branch of the food service association, and a survey on the city website. Under the 2026 notice, general restaurants registered in Gunsan for more than 3 years are eligible, and bars that mainly serve alcohol, such as beer pubs and soju bars, cannot apply. Places with poor hygiene, facilities or surroundings, and places that have ever received a business suspension or a heavier penalty, are restricted from designation. source 3

The Gunsan City Culture and Tourism website posts the 'Gunsan Good Restaurants' designations (34) and the Model Restaurant list (51) separately. 15 places are on both lists, so together there are 70. The 15 are Gyegok Garden, Gunsan Hanuchon, Namwon Yongdamgol, Deungdaero, Bada Hoejip Hyeondae Core Branch, Sagol Ttukbaegi, Saemangeum Hoetjip and Sweet India.
