Got the Soda Tams Pineapple (KRW ₩2,000) to sample, it's not as sweet as I expected, which was nice.

The Makgeolli / Rice Wine (KRW ₩5,000) pairing with the various pork soup is fantastic. Love the boozy touch it lends to the meal.

Several complimentary sides to accompany each meal, including Ssalbap / Steamed White Rice, Kimchi Baechu / Kimchi Pickled Cabbage, Kimchi Kkakdugi / Kimchi Pickled Daikon Radish, and Yangpa Jangajji / Pickled Onions. Compared to elsewhere, the range of sides is much smaller though.

The signature Dwaeji Gukbap / Pork Soup And Rice (KRW ₩10,000) has a rich, flavourful broth, cloudy with meaty sweet savoury herbal flavour. Garnished with strips of lean chewy pork loin and pork belly with meaty savoury salty flavour, and crisp green onions with vegetal sweet herbal flavour. Paired with sticky moist Ssalbap / Steamed White Rice with grainy sweet flavour. Soulful and comforting. Highly recommended!
