Seats facing the window were set up for solo diners, making it nice to eat slowly in a bright spot. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-07-1v2zd-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-08-uri6g-900.webp) ## How do you use the butadon menu and self-service bar? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-09-1e20d-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-10-69z0d-900.webp) There were three menu items: 36-hour-aged butadon, 36-hour-aged spicy butadon, and soboro high-piled galbi rice. After ordering at the kiosk, I took as much clear soup, baekgimchi (white kimchi), and salad as I needed, and rice could be refilled if it was not enough. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-11-1wadv-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-12-1bd3b-900.webp) For the cabbage salad, I could choose black sesame sauce or yuzu dressing, whichever suited my taste. I only took as much food from the self-service bar as I could eat. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-13-1jtvt-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-14-1wyka-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-15-1r02g-900.webp) ## What is the difference between the 36-hour-aged butadon and spicy butadon? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-16-1ofca-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-17-uavd9-900.webp) With the regular butadon, I broke the egg yolk and mixed it into the rice. The version with extra meat felt like it had more meat than rice. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-18-z4dvb-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-19-1ny1s-900.webp) The spicy butadon came with peppers and scallions. It was not as intensely spicy as I expected; if you can comfortably eat something about as spicy as Shin Ramyun, it should be manageable. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-20-xmnq0-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-21-1rysy-900.webp) ## When is it a good time to visit? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-22-10um6-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-23-10y0y-900.webp) It suited times when I wanted a hearty meal near campus, whether eating with a friend or having butadon alone. Being able to use the self-service bar for rice, salad, and more also made it easy to adjust the portion. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant for solo butadon: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon-24-1fh6o-900.webp) ## Where it is - Sunhui Dining (순희다이닝) (순희다이닝) - 2nd floor, 78 Ihwayeodae-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서대문구 이화여대길 78 2층 순희다이닝 - 37.5592711, 126.944065 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%9C%ED%9D%AC%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%9D/@37.5592711,126.944065,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@alley-stool-table/sunhee-dining-sinchon-solo-butadon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
