[Mullae-dong Restaurant] Neurujip - Trying budae jeongol at a place in Yeongdeungpo famous as a Blue Ribbon Survey restaurant for dakgalbi. A budae jjigae restaurant with parking.

Doctor Baek’s rating ★★★★☆

Hello.

This is Doctor Baek’s food guide.

There was a menu I used to like quite a lot, and in my effort to find great restaurants, I used to go around searching for it diligently.

That was budae jjigae !! Some places also call it budae jeongol

The best restaurant I found for my taste was the Changongigomo Budae Jjigae in Amsa-dong from the post below.

At my partner’s request, who had been wanting budae jjigae for a while, I searched hard for a good place again. Then I learned about a place known for dakgalbi in Yeongdeungpo. It turned out that not only was the dakgalbi delicious, but it was also a Blue Ribbon Survey restaurant famous for its tasty budae jjigae.

Neurujip

A restaurant named after the pure Korean word “neuru,” meaning “for a long time.”

I really wanted to try the dakgalbi too, but unfortunately it has to be ordered in a minimum of two servings, so today this is just a brief review after enjoying only the budae jeongol.

Location: Room 112, 113, 34 Dangsan-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul

Parking: 2 hours free at the RODEO Fashion Outlet parking lot.

You know the Homeplus Yeongdeungpo branch in front of Mullae, right? The Homeplus that’s been making so much noise lately.....

Anyway, there’s a block right next to it where all sorts of good restaurants are clustered together.

I also never knew there was a restaurant alley this close to Times Square where parking is available too!

Notable places there include Wolhwa Gogi, a Blue Ribbon Survey pork belly restaurant, and Tokyo Hwaro..

Anyway! Neurujip is located around the middle of this alley.

Exterior

When I visited in person, the exterior looked quite neat, but in the photo it somehow feels like a closed shop... If you go in through the entrance, you’ll see that they’re very much open for business. We visited at 5 p.m., when the break time had ended and they had resumed service.

There are quite a few stickers on the entrance, and among them the Blue Ribbon Survey one stands out the most. And in front of the store, there’s a neat sign saying it specializes in Chuncheon dakgalbi and budae jjigae.

Interior

Since we visited right when the break time ended, there weren’t many customers. Still, the interior had a pretty neat design. I thought it was more than sufficient for a meal.

This is the scene of them proudly receiving the 2025 Blue Ribbon Survey Recommended Restaurant badge at the entrance, almost like a certification photo! A round of respectful applause to the owners, who must have worked for a long time to make delicious dakgalbi and budae jeongol that fit their philosophy!

This is the menu at Neurujip, known as a Yeongdeungpo restaurant for Chuncheon dakgalbi and budae jjigae.

As you can see, it really makes you want to eat dakgalbi... We were considering ordering two servings of dakgalbi and ddukbaegi budae jjigae... But after discussing it with the owner, we decided to step back and order two servings of minari budae jeongol instead.

Meal begins!!!

A modest set of side dishes is prepared. Still, macaroni is a classic delicious side dish in Korea, right? While you’re eating, they quickly bring out the budae jeongol.

Minari Budae Jeongol, 2 servings (29,000 won)

Since the bowl of rice is extra, the total came to 31,000 won. Should we still be thankful that a bowl of rice is only 1,000 won? Haha.

As you can see, there isn’t an enormous amount of ham, but you’ll agree that it looks substantial. There are also four dumplings! There are sliced rice cakes for tteokguk, and even stir-fried kimchi tucked in there~

They pour in the broth right away. The broth has a rather cloudy look, which gave off the feeling of beef bone broth and made me happy.

Cover it with the lid and wait 5 minutes on the timer..

Then you get this bubbling, delicious-looking budae jeongol. Neurujip in Yeongdeungpo is generous too, because they provide one pack of ramen noodles as well.

We were told to put in the ramen first, so we did. It’ll be done in about 3 minutes.. so when the ramen is cooked, try the ramen first. The taste is really great!

In the style of Gangnam Daewoo Budae Jjigae, they also add a handful of minari. Personally, I’ve thought budae jjigae with minari tasted less greasy and had a cleaner flavor.. I’m expecting that same taste here at Neurujip too.

I served myself a small portion onto a plate in front of me. It looked tasty even before eating, and it tastes good as expected. It is absolutely not greasy. I thought it was a very refined kind of budae jjigae! I think that cloudy beef bone broth contributed greatly to its clean and premium taste.

Sausage, Spam, and long kimbap ham?

There were these three kinds of ham, and there was also quite a generous amount of minced meat hidden inside.

My wife gave the same assessment, but first and foremost, each ingredient felt substantial and satisfying. If the ham in budae jjigae doesn’t taste good, it’s a total failure... In that sense, Neurujip passes!!

As the broth keeps simmering, the flavor deepens, and it becomes excellent the more you eat. Thanks to that, the two of us were able to enjoy a delicious budae jjigae at great value after a long time.

We really ate well and deliciously today too.!!!

Conclusion

I finally found a great budae jjigae place not too far away. I always miss Changongigomo Budae Jjigae... but realistically, Amsa-dong is too far for me. ㅠㅠ

I don’t think I had seen a delicious budae jjigae place near Yongsan.... but still, I found one not too far away (!?) I was worried that since they received the Blue Ribbon Survey sticker for Chuncheon dakgalbi, the budae jeongol might be a little less impressive... but as expected, that concern was unnecessary.

Budae jjigae is the kind of dish that will taste delicious no matter when you eat it. It isn’t greasy and never gets tiring, and I think it’s a taste I could happily eat every week. Still... since budae jjigae falls under the Korean food category, it’s also true that there are so many great places for it across the country..!...

Unfortunately, I’ve decided to give it 4 stars. Still, it’s definitely a memorable restaurant!!

Taste: ★★★★☆ Value: ★★★★★ Accessibility: ★★★★★ Facilities: ★★★★☆ Parking: 2 hours of free parking available.

I think this is a place that could be worth 5 stars to someone. But... for someone like me, who spent months going around trying to find the ultimate budae jjigae place, it seems like it was just a little short of a perfect 5 stars. Still, I think a comforting taste that you can enjoy deliciously any time is also a precious kind of taste.

Next time, I’ll definitely go try the Chuncheon dakgalbi!!

Thank you..!..

Thank you for reading my restaurant post from my own spending today as always,

I’ll always try to become a restaurant coordinator you want to visit. :) This was Doctor Baek, a dentist aspiring to be both an implant craftsman and a gourmet.

Thank you.!!
