Every time to Korea, sure to eat barbecue and pork feet,
This time wanted to eat something different, just saw this restaurant, so went in to try
This restaurant looks very retro, it is a chain restaurant,
The interior decoration is also in a retro style, with some partitions,
The whole restaurant's customers are all Koreans, no tourists
This restaurant started in 1958,
The menu focuses on beef and water celery
All vegetables use water celery,
If foreigners, can scan QR code to see English/ Japanese/ Chinese menu
Lunch business set, can save ₩2,000
Beef hot pot has beef tail/ beef short rib, divided into spicy and original flavor
Also beef platter, options are very simple, but look good
This restaurant's pancakes are also famous, side dishes look very good
The drink menu is quite a lot, mostly Korean alcohol,
Koreans who come here to eat always drink a bit of alcohol together
Tableware are in the drawer next to the table
The brass tableware feels very high-end~~
Because ordered beef hot pot, served three kinds of dipping sauces
Left is a bit like soybean paste + garlic, heavier taste
Middle is a bit like light soy sauce + onion, with a bit of sweetness, very good
Right is spicy shrimp sauce, very flavorful, also pairs well with beef
Side dishes only two kinds, top is more traditional sour kimchi, bottom is spicier green onion kimchi
1. Beef Short Rib Hot Pot (Small): ₩55,000
This pot came up, I was totally shocked, super a lot
The water celery on top after boiling the soup still has crunchiness, with a bit of special aroma
The beef short ribs below, each piece is substantial, gently clamp and the meat separates from the bone, stewed very tender
At the bottom there is also Korean glass noodles, very chewy, can increase satiety
This beef short rib hot pot is super delicious, because the beef is very tender, beef flavor is also great
Whether eating directly or with different seasonings, all delicious
The whole pot's portion can feed 2-3 people no problem!!
2. Water Celery Pancake: ₩15,000
This water celery pancake, really every table must order
On the plate there is also a oil strainer, after serving need to cut it open yourself
The whole pancake is full of water celery, paired with a bit like snail's river fresh, plus thin pancake batter
Eating it is not greasy, the whole pancake is crispy outside and soft inside,
Paired with a bit sweet sauce, very flavorful,
The chili on top is not spicy at all.
Water celery after frying the grassy aroma is reduced a lot, texture is very different from boiling in hot pot
Like this one table, two people ate until super full~~This restaurant is a chain restaurant, taste and quality are very good
If tired of eating barbecue and pork feet, recommend to come try oh~~
