Kim SawonKim Sawon’s reviewHighly recommended

“The lean-meat-packed sundaeguk and pork head meat are overwhelmingly good”

  • Pork Head Meat (Meorigogi)BestChewy skin and tender meat, the best pork head meat of my life
  • Sundaeguk (blood sausage soup)Packed with lean meat and no offal, ₩8,000
  • Gukbap (rice soup)Generous portion, you can feel the market-style hospitality

Liked

  • Very generous amount of meat
  • Tasty kimchi
  • Surprisingly clean inside

Downsides

  • The shabby exterior may be intimidating
Price
Sundaeguk (blood sausage soup) ₩8,000
Dining solo
Ate a bowl of gukbap alone
Atmosphere
A run-down building and an old-school eatery full of neighborhood regulars
Service
They looked out for us, saying the portion is big and to order just one bowl
Would return
Came back at night after visiting during the day
Good for
Solo meals, an evening drink with friends
Value
For ₩8,000, a bowl full of meat comparable to boiled pork slices (suyuk)
Tips
  • The gukbap portion is large, so two people should order just one bowl
  • Pair the pork head meat with soju
