Jeonju's oldest traditional bibimbap house, running since 1952 and now in its third generation, using only its own fermented pastes and hanwoo beef.
Sambaekjip
A kongnamul-gukbap house beside the Jeonju Gaeksa. Its Century Shop citation records a shop opened some seventy years ago by the present owner's mother, now run by a second and third generation together.

Stories about this place
- Four Jeonju Bibimbap Houses and a Bean-Sprout Soup: Three in One Lane, One 4.7 km Out
Every restaurant in Jeonju this site has a sourced record for — five of them. Four serve bibimbap and one serves bean-sprout soup; the three nearest the Hanok Village sit within 33 m and 212 m of each other, while Gogung alone is in a different district, 4.7 km away. None of the five publishes its opening hours or its prices.
