Jeonjuneunjeonju is a Korean traditional restaurant (한식 전문 음식점) on Taejo-ro in the center of Jeonju Hanok Village, and its listed signature dish is the jewel raw-beef gimbap (보석육회김밥).
The official Korea Tourism Organization entry (content 3591576, checked October 3, 2026) describes a menu built around one signature dish, with a Jeonju culture-based food experience as the stated focus.
Typical customers are family groups and tourists, so the setting is a casual traditional meal, not a formal hanok dining course.
When I look at a restaurant listing like this, the first thing I check is what a visitor should actually say at the counter — that is why the Korean name 보석육회김밥 stays next to the English one.
No menu prices appear in any source for this restaurant, so there is no stated price for the gimbap or any other dish to quote here.
The signature dish is the 보석육회김밥 (jewel raw-beef gimbap), with bibimbap, naengmyeon and various jeon listed alongside it in the KTO entry (content 3591576).

What to Order at Jeonjuneunjeonju
Order the 보석육회김밥 (jewel raw-beef gimbap) first — say "boseok yukhoe gimbap" — because it is the signature dish in the official listing.
A food magazine round-up of Jeonju (siksinhot, an editorial article rather than an official listing) names 육회김밥 as the dish people go for at this place, which matches the listing.
Yukhoe gimbap is gimbap filled with seasoned raw beef, a Jeonju-style variation rather than a standard seaweed rice roll.
The other listed menu items are 비빔밥 (bibimbap), 냉면 (naengmyeon) and 각종 전류 (various jeon, Korean savory pancakes).
Bibimbap is a local-specialty pick because Jeonju is the home of Jeonju bibimbap, and jeon suits sharing at a family table.
If you want the dish this place is known for, the gimbap is the pick; if you want a fuller meal to share, add bibimbap, naengmyeon or jeon.
What "jewel" (보석) in the dish name refers to is not explained in any source, so the name is best used simply as the word to order with.
Hours, Last Order and Closing Days
Jeonjuneunjeonju opens 11:00–23:00 with last order at 22:10 and no closing day, per the Korea Tourism Organization listing checked 2026-10-03.
No break time is listed in the entry, so the afternoon runs straight through between lunch and dinner.
If you are planning dinner after sightseeing, aim to be seated by about 21:30 — the kitchen takes last order at 22:10 and the restaurant closes at 23:00.
If I were going for dinner, I would target a table by 21:30 rather than walking in near closing, because the 22:10 last order leaves no slack.
There is no listed closing day (연중무휴), so no day of the week needs to be planned around.
How to Get There from Seoul
The fastest route from Seoul is the KTX: 1h 26m with fares from ₩30,100, first departure 05:08 and last 21:48, on the TAGO schedule dated 10/02.
The express bus is slower and cheaper: at least 2h 40m, ₩16,400–₩37,200, running from 05:30 to midnight on the same 10/02 schedule.
That puts the train 1h 14m faster but about ₩13,700 more at the low end (₩30,100 minus ₩16,400), while the bus is the option if you travel late at night.
Jeonju KTX station is not inside Hanok Village, so continue to the Wansan-gu area by local bus or taxi; the exact bus numbers are not verified from a primary source, so check the day’s listings on koreankorea.com, which keeps daily train and express-bus pages for Seoul to Jeonju.

From Jeonju Station, continue by local bus or taxi to Hanok Village in Wansan-gu.
Check the same-day timetable on koreankorea.com before you travel, since the quoted times are the 10/02 schedule.
If speed matters or you are returning to Seoul the same evening, take the train; if you arrive late or want the cheapest fare, the bus runs until midnight.
Address, Phone and Parking
The address is 31 Taejoro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju (Gyo-dong), and the phone number is 0507-1369-4405.
The official listing states parking is unavailable (불가능), so arrive on foot or by bus rather than by car.
The restaurant sits inside central Jeonju Hanok Village, Jeonju’s main tourist district of traditional houses and food streets, so a meal here pairs directly with sightseeing.
The exact walking distance from the Hanok Village gate to the restaurant is not confirmed, but the listing places it in the village center on Taejo-ro.
Driving is the one arrival method this address does not suit; everyone else reaches it on foot within the village.
