MENU
Due to the recent surge in prices, the menu at this restaurant has also increased several times. When I first came here around 2011, the Exploding Steamed Egg 계란찜(gyeranjjim) was priced at 4,000 won.
Bok-tang Gyeranjjim
폭탄계란찜
The dish I often order is the “Bok-tang Gyeranjjim“폭탄계란찜 (Exploding Steamed Egg), priced at 8,000 won.
It bubbles with steam rising from the inside, almost like a volcanic eruption. It’s a very satisfying dish to eat.
Ttukbaegi Bulgogi
뚝배기불고기
The “Ttukbaegi Bulgogi” is priced at 9,000 won and comes with a generous amount of meat. It’s highly recommended for those who are not fond of spicy food.
Cheonggukjang
청국장
The “Cheonggukjang” is priced at 8,500 won. It’s absolutely delicious when poured over white rice.
Spicy braised short ribs
매운갈비찜
Spicy braised short ribs are characterized by tender meat slow-cooked to perfection. The seasoning, made with gochujang (Korean chili paste), soy sauce, and garlic, adds deep, rich flavors.
The daily side dishes
The restaurant offers a variety of free side dishes that change daily. In fact, these side dishes are quite tasty and are one of the highlights of the meal. Many people come to eat alone, and by ordering just one dish, you get to enjoy these side dishes as well, so you can eat until you’re full.
