Been dreaming of coming here for a long time and finally was able to do it. Trekked in snow and slush to eat and it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. All the sides and of course the pork melted in your mouth. Kimchi was incredible. Will be back even though I am only being in Seoul a few days!

A must-visit restaurant for foreigners in Korea. Since this place is very popular among Koreans, the wait can be very long, so I recommend going at opening time on weekdays. Just order the Bossam Set Menu (₩16,000). The kimchi here might be too spicy for foreigners. You can eat the meat with kimchi or wrap it in lettuce with ssamjang and garlic. This place is known for its excellent bossam pork compared to other restaurants!

Looks simple but packed full of flavours. My favourite meal these past 5 days I’ve been in Korea. Best kimchi I’ve had as well, which explains the need to pay for more kimchi (rare occurrence).
