"Though it’s most often served in a scorching earthenware dish, this was just served in a pot but boasted intensely delicious flavor. Take a spoonful of stew over rice, add some dried seaweed, mix in, and enjoy!"

Hanok Jip

7-1 Yangpyeongdong 3(sam)-ga
Recommended by Time Out and 1 other food critic.
"Order at least one kimchi dish here and you won’t be disappointed. Kimchi is rich in taste, beautifully balanced with the spice, sour and savory. The chunky pieces of pork are soft and juicy, great when wrapped in a kimchi leaf with some rice. The 3 vegetable side dishes provided are a little sweeter than the main, going well with the slightly sour taste of jjigae."
