Kim SawonKim Sawon’s reviewHighly recommended

“An old-school eatery where the aged-kimchi braised pork, pork belly and kimchi are all excellent”

  • Mugeunji Dwaeji-jjim (braised pork with aged kimchi)BestThe signature dish, packed with an outrageous amount of pork
  • Samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly)Countryside-style pork belly with a well-balanced mix of fat and lean meat
  • Doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew)A complimentary stew full of tofu with a strong anchovy flavor

Liked

  • Wide variety of kimchi
  • Pork belly has a good fat-to-lean ratio
  • Jeolla-style table spread

Downsides

  • Anchovy bones can be felt in the doenjang-jjigae
  • Jangheung seaweed tastes much like ordinary homemade seaweed
Hours
Mugeunji Dwaeji-jjim only on Tuesdays and Fridays
Atmosphere
A rustic, unpretentious neighborhood old-timer spot with a go-club-like atmosphere
Would return
Would come back on a weekday just for the Mugeunji Dwaeji-jjim
Good for
Middle-aged guys sharing a meal and a drink
Tips
  • Mugeunji Dwaeji-jjim (braised pork with aged kimchi) is only available on Tuesdays and Fridays
