Menu Guide : Royal Korean Dining in Gyeongju

At Gyeongju Silla Bansang Surime , our menu follows the essence of the Korean jeongsik — a traditional set meal that grows in richness with each course.

It reflects the Korean philosophy of balance and togetherness, where every element complements the others. No matter which you choose, the essence remains the same — sincerity, harmony, and the quiet beauty of a shared table. -  Master’s Red Snow Crab Soft Tofu Set (₩15,000) Surime’s signature and foundational set meal.  This set features a mild soft tofu stew enhanced with red snow crab innards , creating a rich and savory flavor without bein...

What It Means to Cook in a City That Remembers

Gyeongju, once the capital of the Silla Kingdom, remains a city where history still breathes. Every stone wall and quiet alley seems to carry a story, and the rhythm of this ancient capital continues to shape the way we live and cook today. It is here that Korean traditional cuisine finds its most honest form — humble, grounded, and deeply connected to the land.



To cook in Gyeongju is to be part of something larger than a meal. It is not only about preparing food, but about inheriting a philosophy — one that values patience, respect, and the quiet beauty of craftsmanship. Each dish reflects centuries of Korean heritage, shaped by both time and care.



At Surime, we cook with that same spirit. Every bowl, every side dish is an expression of gratitude for the culture that came before us. Through flavor and simplicity, we hope to share a piece of Gyeongju’s authenticity — where food becomes a bridge between the past and the present.

A Special Record from Surime, a Gyeongju Dining Experience

 Hello, This is Park Misuk, owner of Surime – Gyeongju Silla Table . A Wedding, and the Beginning of a Family On April 10th, we experienced one of the most meaningful days of our lives. It was the day our beloved daughter, Minseo, began her new life with Johnny as husband and wife. Their story began in a distant city—Melbourne. Watching that journey come to such a beautiful and sincere moment filled us, as parents, with deep gratitude and emotion. This was not a wedding defined by luxury or grandeur, but by something more lasting—genuine feeling. The way they looked at each other, the presence of both families standing together— it reminded us what the word “family” truly means. A Letter That Became a Bridge One of the most touching moments came from a letter written by Johnny’s parents. “We are so happy to welcome Olivia (Minseo) into our family.” In that single sentence, we felt warmth, sincerity, and acceptance. At that moment, we realized that we were...

Soy Sauce as Time: Fermentation and Balance in Korean Cuisine

Soy sauce is not treated as a seasoning, but as time itself. We use soy sauce aged for more than twelve years, never rushed and never adjusted to speed. It is allowed to settle slowly, so depth forms without sharpness, letting the food breathe rather than be overtaken by salt. The soy sauce jars are placed facing west, where sunlight remains steady and temperature changes are gentle. This direction supports natural air circulation and even fermentation, without forcing the process. The aim is not intensity, but balance—an aging that unfolds quietly over years. From long-aged soy sauce to broths simmered for more than thirty-six hours, our cooking follows the same principle. Flavor is not meant to fill the body, but to ease it. What remains after the meal should feel light, shaped by time rather than technique. This is how we continue the philosophy of Korean cuisine—through patience, restraint, and trust in fermentation.
