🥬 Sansu Ssambap(산수쌈밥) in Gwangju — Unbelievable Value for an Amazing Korean Meal

If you’re looking for a must-visit restaurant in Gwangju, Sansu Ssambap(산수쌈밥) should be at the top of your list.
It’s a local favorite, often with a line out the door — and once you taste it, you’ll know exactly why.

We planned to have a light brunch, but what arrived was a full, hearty Korean spread:
a generous assortment of side dishes, tender boiled pork, and the freshest wrap vegetables.
It was the perfect introduction to the bold, rich flavors of Jeolla-style cuisine.

🥬 *What is “Ssambap”?*
A traditional Korean meal where you wrap rice, side dishes, and meat in fresh leafy vegetables.
It’s a healthy and satisfying way to enjoy a full, balanced meal!

🌿 Ureongi Ssambap Jeongsik (For 2 or more) – 10,000 KRW per person

Yes, you read that right — just 10,000 KRW (about $7.50) for a full Korean ssambap set.
It comes with ureongi (freshwater snail) doenjang soup, warm rice, a variety of side dishes,
crispy lettuce and perilla leaves, and beautifully tender sliced pork.

The combination of pork + spicy radish salad + fresh greens was just perfection.
Every bite was delicious — the kind of meal that makes you go, “Wow!”

🍲 Solo Set (Available after 1:00 PM) – 12,000 KRW

Traveling alone? No problem.
They offer a solo set, though it’s only available after 1:00 PM due to the busy lunch rush.
You still get the full experience of a hearty, satisfying ssambap meal.
