Kim SawonKim Sawon’s reviewHighly recommended

“The clean gamjatang without dried greens gets more addictive the more you eat”

  • Gamjatang, medium (pork bone and potato stew)BestMild but deep, clean broth with tender meat
  • Sujebi (hand-pulled dough flakes)Dough aged in-house and boiled separately, so it's chewy
  • Bokkeumbap (fried rice)Finished with seaweed flakes and sesame oil, hard to go wrong

Liked

  • Deep broth with a long-lasting aftertaste
  • Clean taste without greasiness
  • Gets richer as it simmers but never salty

Downsides

  • The first taste may seem mild
  • Made without dried radish greens (siraegi, ugeoji)
Atmosphere
Small, humble old-school shop with about 7 tables
Would return
Very likely to return, would go first every time
Good for
A meal with a drink, a visit with friends
Tips
  • Be sure to add the sujebi
  • Dip the meat in mustard sauce
  • Finish with fried rice
