And this place near Gyeonggyeong Market has been getting buzz as a must-wait spot lately. From the neat side dishes to the deep flavor of the black garlic pork to the spicy-sweet squid stir-fry, it was such a satisfying meal that I have to review it in detail! ![Exterior of Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-01-r85lr-900.webp) ## Where is Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap, and what is the dining room like? Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap sits at 9 Dojeon2-ro, Danyang-eup, Danyang-gun, Chungbuk, close to Gyeonggyeong Market. When I arrived, a clean, friendly-looking sign greeted me haha. You could feel the popularity — this place has appeared on quite a few broadcasts. It's also close to the market, so it's a great spot to fit into a travel route. ![Sign of Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-02-140d7-900.webp) ![Entrance of Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-03-dto08-900.webp) The interior overall is decorated in a clean, warm style. Each table has a tablet ordering system, so I could browse the menu leisurely and order comfortably. The tables were spaced well and the place felt hygienic and well-managed, so it was a pleasant place to eat 🩵 ![Neatly arranged table inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-04-1hw0s-900.webp) ## Ordering the 19,000-won pork ssambap and 12,000-won squid stir-fry There was a range of ssambap (wrap rice) sets using black garlic — black garlic squid ssambap, black garlic jeyuk (spicy pork) ssambap, black garlic pork ssambap, and more 🧄 ![Menu board for black garlic ssambap sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-05-14dtt-900.webp) I picked the signature black garlic pork ssambap (₩19,000 per person) for two, plus black garlic squid stir-fry (₩12,000) for some spice! Just a heads up — anyone elementary school age or older must order their own meal, so keep that in mind when visiting. ![Tablet ordering device installed at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-06-1sxok-900.webp) ![Order screen for black garlic pork ssambap on the tablet](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-07-u4dto-900.webp) ![Table setup before food arrives](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-08-16rqu-900.webp) ## Seven side dishes in brass bowls and river snail gangdoenjang After a short wait, the side dishes were neatly set out in clean brass bowls on a round tray 💗 Stir-fried mushrooms, seasoned namul, kimchi, fish cake stir-fry — over 7 banchan in all, none over-seasoned, each one feeling as thoughtful as home cooking. The fresh ssam greens, garlic, and the restaurant's own signature doenjang (soybean paste) really woke up my appetite. The doenjang, loaded with uongi (mud snails) and vegetables in a thick broth, was savory without being salty — great even just mixed straight into the rice. ![Side dishes served in brass bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-09-12z3w-900.webp) ![Uongi doenjang paste with ssam greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-10-14w4e-900.webp) ### Garlic rice instead of plain steamed rice The hidden cheat code at Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap is that it's not plain rice, but garlic rice with a subtle garlicky aroma! The moment I opened the lid, a pleasant, not-overpowering, sharp-yet-nutty garlic scent hit me, and every grain of rice had a savory depth to it — it was delicious even eaten plain 💛 Piling the black garlic pork and special doenjang on top of this garlic-scented rice and wrapping it in a ssam made the flavor go a whole level deeper! ![Garlic-scented rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-11-zxcdn-1200.webp) ## How does the black garlic boiled pork taste? The mains I'd been waiting for finally arrived! Neatly plated black garlic pork, savory doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), and perfectly fluffy rice filled the table haha. ![Full spread of the black garlic pork ssambap set](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-12-vecmi-900.webp) ![Plate of pork topped with black garlic sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-13-4ozoz-900.webp) The signature black garlic pork here has zero gamey smell, tender boiled pork slices topped generously with thick, savory black garlic sauce. I picked up a piece with the garlic sauce — the sharp bite typical of black garlic was gone, replaced with a subtle sweetness and deep flavor that paired perfectly with the pork's richness. The meat itself was so soft and juicy that juices burst out with every bite. ![Chopsticks holding a piece of black garlic pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-14-14isc-900.webp) ![Close-up of pork with black garlic sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-15-4kijv-900.webp) ### Black garlic squid stir-fry and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) The black garlic squid stir-fry I added on came loaded with fresh, plump squid. Stir-fried over high heat with a hint of smoky char, the sweet-and-spicy sauce soaked all the way through the squid. The squid wasn't chewy at all — perfectly springy texture, honestly a work of art. ![Sweet and spicy black garlic squid stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-16-nvz45-900.webp) ![Close-up of springy squid stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-17-1444q-900.webp) ![Table set with the squid stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-18-15fns-900.webp) The doenjang jjigae that came alongside was also loaded with tofu, savory mushrooms, and vegetables, with a rich, spicy-tangy broth! Between bites of pork and ssambap, a spoonful of the broth cleared my palate perfectly 😉 ![Doenjang jjigae with tofu and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-19-6xtty-900.webp) ![Spoonful of doenjang jjigae broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-20-15tyg-900.webp) ## Best ways to wrap the pork and squid stir-fry I tried piling a scoop of fluffy rice onto lettuce and perilla leaves, then adding a piece of pork slathered in black garlic sauce plus the special doenjang and sliced garlic, and wrapping it all into a big ssam. The tenderness of the meat, the crunch of the greens, and the umami of the black garlic wrapped around my whole mouth — it made me smile without even trying 🩷 Another combo — fragrant perilla leaf wrapped around the spicy black garlic squid stir-fry — was also a treat haha. The savoriness of the pork and the spiciness of the squid stir-fry together made the perfect trio, one I never got tired of! ![Lettuce wrap with rice and pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-21-ixsfk-900.webp) ![Perilla leaf wrap with squid stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-bossam-22-vsapu-900.webp) ## Receipt review promotion and final verdict on Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap There was a notice on the wall about a Naver receipt review event!
