Bulmak Yeolsam · the visited Okubo-dori branch
The Korean restaurant visited at 1-16-16 Okubo in November 2025 for a pork-belly set and cold noodles. Its address and contacts must be distinguished from the similarly named Hyakunincho branch.
Distinguish the two addresses
The restaurant visited on this journey was on 1F of Shoei Building,1-16-16 Okubo. Searches also show Bulmak Yeolsam No.1 at 2-2-42 Hyakunincho. Do not transfer that branch’s telephone,03-6233-9961, or opening hours to this one. Check the building name and sign before setting off.
The meal ordered in November 2025
The order then was a set containing samgyeopsal pork belly, marinated pork, pajeon scallion pancake and doenjang jjigae soybean-paste stew, with cold noodles added. The meat was grilled with kimchi, garlic and scallions. This describes that meal; it does not guarantee a fixed set or price currently on sale.
Planning a group meal
Decide on the group size and arrival time, then telephone to confirm that day’s operation and seating. Check the current menu for the number of people a set serves, extra meat quantities and whether rice or other meal items are included. If avoiding spicy seasoning or seafood, ask about the pancake and cold-noodle ingredients too.
Recheck the address and hours before arriving
The visited restaurant is on 1F of Shoei Building on the Okubo-dori side. Since searches return other branches with the same name, mention 1-16-16 Okubo when reserving or asking about operation to reduce confusion. Confirm current hours and last orders by telephone rather than assuming that the late-evening service experienced in 2025 still applies.
Wall messages and photography
During the 2025 visit, the travellers rediscovered writing their group had left the previous year and talked about it. That was a personal experience in the restaurant at the time, not general permission for today’s visitors to write on the wall. Ask the owner before photographing or adding a record.
