Oega Sotbap: Steak Rice and Seafood Options

Oega on Hwangridan-gil has a long list of rice pots: steak, salmon, abalone and pollack roe, plus Hanwoo bulgogi. That makes it easy for two people to order different ones. My tastes lean towards meat, so the steak sotbap caught my eye first. I haven’t been there; this guide is based on public reviews and my food-preference test.

Steak and salmon sotbap are KRW 18,000, roe sotbap KRW 15,000

On Oega’s Naver Place menu (updated 26 January 2026), steak and salmon sotbap are KRW 18,000 each, abalone sotbap KRW 17,000, Hanwoo-bulgogi, mushroom Hanwoo-bulgogi and truffle Hanwoo-bulgogi sotbap KRW 16,000 each, pollack-roe sotbap KRW 15,000 and hijiki-and-cockle bibimbap KRW 14,000. Side dishes to order include shiitake menbosha (two pieces, KRW 8,000) and truffle shrimp tempura (two pieces, KRW 5,000). Bokgil nearby also serves abalone sotbap, so if abalone is the goal, the two are worth comparing.

Reviews often call it ‘neat’

Oega has more than 7,000 visitor reviews on Naver Place. In the ‘what was good’ keywords, ‘the food is tasty’ (6,721), ‘fresh ingredients’ (3,369) and ‘nice interior’ (3,087) were picked most. Of the ten most recent reviews (18–20 October), two called the meal ‘neat’ and two mentioned friendly staff. Only one named dishes, describing the abalone sotbap as rich and the salmon sotbap as nutty. In the review menu tags, steak (766) and salmon (712) were mentioned most.

Introduced as 72-hour-aged steak

The Naver menu describes 72-hour-aged chuck-flap steak served with a house sauce and wasabi. The aging time makes me curious about how tender it is, though I haven’t seen the aging process or the doneness myself. The Gyeongju tourism guide mentions vegan options, but I couldn’t find any vegan wording on the Naver menu, so anyone who needs a plant-based meal is safer following the restaurant’s own guidance.

My taste record points to steak too

On 10 October 2026 I picked steak out of abalone, Hanwoo-bulgogi and steak sotbap. My food-preference test also leans towards meat over seafood as the main ingredient, and I tend to welcome a little richness. I usually avoid very spicy food, which fits a non-spicy rice pot. Seafood pots like salmon, abalone and roe sit a bit further from my record, so I’d leave those for whoever comes with me.

About KRW 40,000 for two

One steak sotbap and one salmon sotbap come to KRW 36,000, or KRW 44,000 with shiitake menbosha. Two Hanwoo-bulgogi sotbap are KRW 32,000. These are menu-price sums, so the actual bill may differ, and I couldn’t confirm which side dishes come with the rice pots.

Closed for a break from 3 to 5 p.m.

The address is 7 Sajeong-ro 57beon-gil, Gyeongju. Naver Place (checked 20 October) lists daily hours of 11:00–20:30, a 15:00–17:00 break and last orders at 19:50. The Gyeongju tourism guide (checked 28 September) gives 21:00 as closing time, so for dinner it seems safer to plan around the 19:50 last order. There’s no on-site parking, so a nearby public car park is needed, and Naver booking is available.

I’d start with the steak sotbap

If I went to Oega, I’d order the steak sotbap first. Steak comes first in both the menu description and the review mentions, and it matches the direction of my taste record. If the other person likes seafood, adding a salmon sotbap to share works, and shiitake menbosha seems like enough if we want something fried. I still couldn’t confirm which side dishes are served or whether scorched rice or sungnyung comes at the end.
