Pildong Hambak (필동함박) is a hamburger steak restaurant in the Eatopia food hall at Starfield Hanam, the big shopping mall in Hanam just east of Seoul. My son and I went to Starfield on a Sunday in March because he had been asking for a Nintendo game, and we had lunch here. We got the last free table, ordered a Classic Hambak and a Shrimp Rose Pasta, and paid 29,400 won. My son loved the hambak and kept saying he wants it again next time.
What hambak is
Hambak (함박) is the Korean name for hamburger steak: a thick patty, not in a bun, served with a brown sauce. The restaurant’s signs call it a “Hambak Steak House” and the menu screen says “Family Restaurant”. At Pildong Hambak the Classic Hambak comes on a plate with a sausage and rice, and there are other versions with cream, curry or cheese sauces.
How ordering works
Pildong Hambak is a counter in the food hall rather than a sit-down restaurant. You look at the menu on a large screen next to the counter, order and pay at the counter, and get a pager from Eatopia. When the pager lights up, you go back and pick up your tray. Payment goes through Starfield: our receipt is printed on a Starfield receipt, with the store listed as 필동함박, and it records the order at 12:55 p.m. The tables are shared seating in the food hall, and we got the last free one. A note at the top of the menu screen asks you to say in advance if you want the sauce on the side, and extra sauce costs 3,000 won.
Classic Hambak
My son had the Classic Hambak (클래식 함박, 15,500 won). The plate had the hamburger steak cut into thick pieces, covered in a dark demi-glace sauce with mushrooms, a large sausage on the side, and rice. The menu describes it as a hamburger steak with the house demi-glace sauce, and it is marked as a best seller.
He said it was really good and kept saying he wants to have it again next time. That is the best review I can give for a lunch with a kid.
Shrimp Rose Pasta
I had the Shrimp Rose Pasta (새우 로제 파스타, 13,900 won). Rose sauce is a tomato and cream sauce that is popular in Korea. The menu describes it as the house rose sauce with shrimp. The pasta came with shrimp and a fried egg on top, and the fried egg made it even better.
What the other dishes are
For all our Hanam reviews grouped by area, see our Hanam restaurant guide.
The menu screen has a short description under each dish. Translated, these are the ones we didn’t order:
- Classic Cheese Hambak: the classic hamburger steak with mozzarella and an old-style Korean diner hambak sauce
- Toowoomba Hambak: hamburger steak in a Korean-style cream sauce that is a little spicy
- Chungyang Truffle Cream Hambak: a cream sauce with Cheongyang green chili, which is a hot Korean pepper
- Cream Curry Hambak: a creamy curry with the hambak, topped with garlic and onion chips
- Carbonara Gnocchi Hambak: hambak with gnocchi in a cream sauce with Grana Padano cheese and bacon
- Pildong Omurice: rice topped with chopped hambak, vegetables, egg and demi-glace; the menu tip says to mix the egg and rice well
- Chicken Cream Curry: a boneless chicken thigh steak with creamy chicken curry
- Cheese Buldak Napolitan: bacon Napolitan pasta with buldak (fire chicken) sauce, marked as very spicy
- Truffle Cream Gnocchi: gnocchi in cream sauce with truffle oil
Only the Toowoomba, the Chungyang cream and the Buldak Napolitan are described as spicy, which is worth knowing if you are ordering for a child. My son went for the Classic Hambak.

Finding it
Pildong Hambak is inside Eatopia, the food hall on the third floor of Starfield Hanam (750 Misa-daero, Hanam), according to DiningCode. Look for the blue sign with “필동함박” and “PILDONG HAMBAK”. According to Starfield Hanam’s website, the mall is open from 10:00 to 22:00 every day, but the restaurant closes earlier: DiningCode lists Pildong Hambak as open from 10:00 to 20:45, with last orders at 20:15.
