Biwabyul Dakgalbi (비와별닭갈비) is a dakgalbi restaurant inside Starfield City Wirye, the shopping mall on Wirye-daero in the Hanam part of Wirye. We had Sunday lunch there as a family of four in late April 2026: the cheese set, spicy stir-fried chicken with ramyeon noodles and a strip of mozzarella down the middle, and two kids’ meal trays, for 66,600 won. It was very good, and because the cheese sits in the middle of the pan, the kids could eat the chicken without it being too spicy for them.

Lunch at Starfield City Wirye
Starfield City Wirye is a shopping mall in Wirye, the new town that spreads across parts of Seoul, Seongnam and Hanam, and it is close to where we live. We went to Biwabyul Dakgalbi there for Sunday lunch. The restaurant is in the mall’s dining area, with wooden tables, each with a burner set into it for the big round pan.
Dakgalbi (닭갈비) is chicken stir-fried in a spicy red sauce with cabbage, sweet potato, rice cakes and other vegetables, and it is cooked in a big iron pan at the table. At the end, you usually fry rice in the leftover sauce. It is associated with Chuncheon in Gangwon-do, but you can find it in malls all over Korea.
Ordering and the set menu
You order on a tablet on the table, which shows your table number, and then pay at the counter when you leave. Notices around the tablet explain that the dakgalbi comes out already cooked, which takes about 15 minutes, that the fried rice is ordered after you have finished the chicken, and that a Naver photo review gets you a free soft drink.
The first tab of the tablet is the set menu. These were the sets and prices when we went:
| Set | Korean | Price (won) |
|---|---|---|
| Vietnamese rice paper wrap set (unlimited refills) | (무한리필) 월남쌈세트 | 38,800 |
| Cheese set | 치즈세트 | 44,300 |
| Makguksu (buckwheat noodle) set, for two | 막국수세트 (2인) | 42,300 |
According to DiningCode’s menu for this branch, the cheese set is mozzarella dakgalbi with one fried rice and one drink; the three-person version is 63,200 won and the four-person one 82,100 won. The tablet also has tabs for dakgalbi on its own, add-ons (sari), side dishes, a kids’ menu, drinks and fried rice. Our receipt shows a single line of 66,600 won for everything, so I cannot break down what each item cost. The prices in this post also come from two different sources and times: the set price from the tablet photo in April, and the kids’ lunchbox price from DiningCode in September. Adding them up (44,300 + 7,900 × 2 = 60,100 won) does not match the 66,600 won we paid, and I cannot reconstruct the bill from these menu prices alone.
DiningCode also lists the other dakgalbi dishes: spicy dakgalbi made with Cheongyang chilies (16,900 won), “Rich Gold” dakgalbi with sweet potato mousse and cheese (19,900 won), a version with mozzarella, fondue cheese and sweet potato mousse (21,900 won) and dakgalbi with small octopus (21,900 won). There is also a Chuncheon-style tray makguksu (16,000 won) and perilla oil makguksu (9,500 won).
Side dishes
Before the pan came, the table was set with lettuce and perilla leaves for wraps, sliced pickled radish, a dish of ssamjang and a small bowl of shredded cabbage salad, along with water and cups.
The cheese set
The cheese set came in a large round iron pan: spicy chicken and vegetables on one side, a pile of ramyeon noodles on the other, and a wide strip of shredded mozzarella down the middle. As the pan heats up, the cheese melts, and you pick up chicken or noodles and drag them through it.
It was very good. The chicken was spicy, but the cheese in the middle took the edge off, so the kids could dip their pieces in it and eat the dakgalbi with us rather than eating something separate.
The kids’ trays
We also ordered two kids’ lunchboxes, which come on yellow divided trays: a scoop of rice, a fried egg, pieces of soy-glazed dakgalbi, small Vienna sausages with ketchup and a cup of fruit cocktail. DiningCode lists this soy dakgalbi lunchbox, and a tteokgalbi version, at 7,900 won each. Our kids ate from both the trays and the big pan.
Fried rice to finish
After the chicken and noodles, we had the fried rice that comes with the cheese set. It was made in the same pan with the leftover sauce, laver, bean sprouts and corn, and spread out flat in the pan.
Tips for families
- Spice: the dakgalbi itself is spicy. The cheese set helps if your children can handle a little heat, and the kids’ trays are there if they cannot.
- Timing: the chicken takes about 15 minutes to come out, according to the notice on the table, so order as soon as you sit down.
- Fried rice: order it after you finish the chicken, as the notice asks.
- Parking: DiningCode lists free parking; the restaurant is inside the mall.
- Paying: the tablet is only for ordering. Check your table number and pay at the counter.
What we thought
This worked well as a family lunch. The dakgalbi was very good, the cheese made it something the kids could share with us, and the kids’ trays covered the rest. For 66,600 won in total, four of us had a full lunch, finished with fried rice. I am giving it 4.5 out of 5.
