Hello, fellow travelers! I'm excited to introduce you to an amazing restaurant that offers an authentic Korean dining experience. Bibiri2 in Hongdae is where you can enjoy unlimited bibimbap, one of Korea's most beloved traditional home-style dishes!
🏠 What is Bibimbap?
Bibimbap holds a very special place in Korean culture. Traditionally, Korean families would gather various side dishes (banchan) in a large bowl with rice, add gochujang (Korean chili paste) and sesame oil, then mix everything together. Sharing this meal with family and friends has always been one of life's simple pleasures for Koreans.
While it's less common to make bibimbap at home these days, it's amazing how throwing together various ingredients with gochujang and sesame oil creates such a delicious, satisfying meal!

Address: B1, 48 Wausan-ro 23-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
How to get there: Exit Hongik University Station (Exit 9), turn left and walk straight for about 148 meters. The restaurant is located in the basement!
