Dammion (담미온) is a gukbap restaurant in Seongsu, Seoul, right in front of Seongsu Station, and it is open 24 hours. I work in Seongsu, and I have been twice with the same coworker: once for lunch in March 2026, and once in April after the two of us stayed late at the office. If you are looking for Seongsu gukbap, this is the one I would send you to. The broth is rich, the bowls come with plenty of meat, and you can walk in at almost any hour.
What gukbap is
Gukbap (국밥) means soup with rice: a hot bowl of broth with meat, served with a bowl of rice that you eat on the side or tip into the soup. Dammion’s menu is built around it. There is suyuk gukbap (수육국밥) with slices of boiled pork, sundae gukbap with Korean blood sausage, a spicy version called eolkun gukbap, and a budae version with sausage and ramyeon. There are also set meals with bossam, and bigger dishes to share, such as gamjatang and sundae bokkeum.
First visit: budae suyuk gukbap at lunch
On the first visit, a weekday lunch in March, my coworker and I both went for the budae suyuk gukbap (부대수육국밥). It is a suyuk gukbap with the toppings of budae jjigae, the Korean “army stew”: sausage and ramyeon noodles. It came in a black pot, still bubbling, with a red broth, noodles on top and slices of pork underneath. A bowl of rice and three small side dishes came with it.
It was very good. There was about half a pack of ramyeon in the bowl, which made it feel like two dishes in one, and there was a lot of sausage. The pork and the broth kept it a proper gukbap rather than just a spicy noodle soup. With the rice on the side, it was more than enough for lunch.
Second visit: eolkun gukbap after working late
The second time was a Wednesday at the end of April. We had worked late and got to Dammion around 8 p.m. Because it is open 24 hours, we didn’t have to think about a closing time. This time we ordered three things: an eolkun gukbap (얼큰국밥, spicy gukbap) for me, a large budae gukbap for my coworker, and a plate of sliced pork to share.
The eolkun gukbap was tasty as well. “Eolkeun” is the Korean word for a spicy, warming broth, and the soup was red with chopped green onion on top. What I liked most was how much meat was in it: every spoonful came up with slices of pork.
My coworker’s large budae gukbap came with a nest of ramyeon on top, the same idea as the budae suyuk gukbap from my first visit.
The pork plate
The plate we shared was pyeonyuk (편육), pork that is boiled, pressed and sliced thin. On the tablet it is listed in two sizes, and ours was the large one at 14,000 won. It came as two rows of thin slices on a white plate. We ate it between spoonfuls of soup.
How ordering works
Each table has a tablet (the system is called UP Order) with the whole menu, photos and prices. The menu is split into four tabs: set meals (정식류), meals (식사류), dishes to share with drinks (안주류) and drinks (음료/주류). There are buttons for calling a staff member and for a mobile menu, and a language button in the top corner. On our visits, a printed sign was taped above the tablet asking customers to tell the staff their order, so if you are unsure, you can simply point at the screen and order through the staff.

Getting there
Dammion is in Seongsu Academy Tower at 118 Seongsui-ro, right in front of Seongsu Station on Line 2. That, plus the 24-hour opening, is what makes it easy to use: we went once in the middle of a workday and once late in the evening, and both times we just walked over.
Both times the restaurant was busy, and there were a lot of foreign visitors along with Korean customers. It is a place a lot of people go to, and I can see why.
More food near Seongsu Station
- Seokam Seongsu, stone-grilled pork with chapagetti on the grill
- Mongttang Saenggogi, samgyeopsal and yukhoe near Seongsu Station
- Jeong Chamchi, a tuna dinner in Seongsu
If I had to pick one for next time, it would be the budae suyuk gukbap, with the ramyeon and sausage in it. The eolkun gukbap is the one to get if you want a spicy broth with a lot of meat and no noodles.
I’d go back, and I already have. For a filling bowl of gukbap near Seongsu Station at lunch or late at night, Dammion is where I’d go.
