“The oyster-filled bossam kimchi is sweet and the pork is tender”

  • Bossam Jeongsik (boiled pork wrap set)BestTender, nutty pork that pairs perfectly with the kimchi
  • Bomdong-muchim (seasoned spring cabbage)Piled as high as the kimchi, yet you'll finish it all
  • Muneo-muchim (seasoned octopus)The chewy texture goes well with the pork

Liked

  • Kimchi has great umami and sweetness
  • The pork is very tender
  • The seasoning is tasty overall

Downsides

  • The meat is cut irregularly and roughly
  • The kimchi is slightly spicy
Wait

Hours

Atmosphere
Traditional Korean restaurant atmosphere
Service
Happily accepted a request to pack kimchi and raw oysters in advance
Good for
Lunch, winter bossam
Tips
  • Wrap kimchi and spring cabbage together with the pork
  • Leftover kimchi and raw oysters can be packed to go
  • There's a line at lunchtime, so adjust your timing
