Ordered for two, the course covered abalone porridge, bossam, soy-marinated raw crab, steamed whole squid, aged sashimi, pork cutlet, sweet-and-sour flatfish, seafood pancake and altang (fish roe stew), and because rice and instant noodles are free, two bowls of rice went straight into the altang broth. For a team dinner or a proper night of drinks with friends in Sadang, Jindallae Silbi is hard to beat on value. ## Good to know - **Course price**: 39,000 won per person (15 dishes) - **Order**: 39,000 won course x 2 people - **Venue size**: Seats up to 70, retro interior - **Free with the course**: Unlimited rice and instant noodles - **Events**: Prize draw (4th prize: a free bottle of beer); a bottle of soju for cracking the dalgona - **Location**: 2nd floor, 70 Dongjak-daero 7-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul - **Price reference**: ₩39,000 ≈ $29 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 4, 2026* If you're looking for somewhere to really drink in Sadang, I genuinely want to recommend Jindallae Silbi Sadang Branch 🍻🔥 This place runs a course for ₩39,000 per person with a whopping 15 side dishes. At first I thought, even if they say 15 kinds, it's probably just small portions, right? But the dishes kept coming out one after another and I honestly thought the table legs would snap.. ![Table spread of course side dishes at Jindallae Silbi Sadang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-01-1elzj-900.webp) ![A full table of 15 side dishes from the imokase course](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-02-10lpc-1200.webp) Sneak peek of round one lol, even a quick glance shows the lineup is insane. You're not nursing one side dish while eyeing your drink cautiously — new food keeps coming out no matter how much you eat, so the drinks just kept flowing. ![Retro-style interior of Jindallae Silbi Sadang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-03-1rk9h-900.webp) ![Store interior with the course menu signage visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-04-1cvyy-807.webp) ## What Jindallae Silbi Sadang looks like, and what two people ordered The interior was decorated in a retro style and spacious enough to seat up to 70 people. I ordered the ₩39,000 course for two. ![Abalone porridge served as the first course dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-05-wejx1-900.webp) ![A plate of bossam served with radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-06-1fnc8-900.webp) ## Abalone porridge to bossam: how the 39,000-won course starts First up was abalone porridge, savory and soft, a great starter dish. It felt like it gently soothed my stomach before drinking, which I liked. The bossam (boiled pork wrap) came with radish on top, and the combo worked really well. A solid, easy drinking side dish you keep reaching for! ![Japchae with sweet seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-07-woltv-900.webp) ![Spicy stir-fried cartilage (ododeok)](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-08-1gtjx-900.webp) The japchae (glass noodle stir-fry) had a bit too much noodle for my taste personally, but the sweet seasoning was good so it was easy to pick at piece by piece. The spicy cartilage (ododeok) was great to eat when you're feeling a bit greasy from meat or fried food. A menu that snaps your appetite right back with heat! ![Nostalgic pan-fried pink sausage](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-09-1lwk3-900.webp) ![Soft tofu served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-10-o56kw-900.webp) The nostalgic pink sausage and soft soft-tofu were the perfect basic side dishes. ![Soy-marinated crab included in the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-11-fdxmv-900.webp) ![Soy-marinated crab meat placed on top of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-12-hsbpf-900.webp) ## Soy-marinated raw crab, steamed whole squid and aged sashimi: the highlights The ganjang gejang (soy-marinated crab) was rich and salty, done properly. This is genuinely a rice-calling flavor even though it's a drinking side dish, I kept thinking about rice lol. Squeeze the meat onto white rice and put it on top — you basically pass out. ![Braised whole squid served with scallops and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-13-8h7jh-900.webp) The braised whole squid came with plump squid plus scallops and shrimp thrown in, a dish that'll win over anyone who loves seafood. I tore off a big chunk of squid to eat — chewy but clean-tasting, really delicious. ![Plate of aged flounder and salmon sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-14-kbxh3-900.webp) The aged sashimi came as flounder and salmon! Aged kimchi and seaweed were served alongside too. ![Engawa served together with sushi rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-15-1rg44-900.webp) I especially liked the engawa (fatty flounder fin meat). They even gave us sushi rice so we could make our own nigiri-style bites — such a thoughtful touch. Can sashimi really come at this price…? Amazing as a drinking side dish. ![Making sashimi into nigiri-style bites](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-16-sh638-900.webp) ![매장 뽑기 이벤트 용지](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-17-noxve-900.webp) ## A free bottle of beer from the prize draw Midway through, they ran a little draw event, and I pulled 4th prize, winning a free bottle of beer! Boss, are you actually making any money selling like this?? ![Thick pork cutlet with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-18-1now8-900.webp) ![Crispy fried flatfish sweet-and-sour](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-19-n161u-900.webp) ## Pork cutlet, sweet-and-sour flatfish and squid pajeon The pork cutlet (donkkaseu) was thicker than expected, a nice touch. Paired with a soft sauce, it's the kind of familiar flavor everyone loves. The flatfish sweet-and-sour had no fishy taste at all and was clean, so even people who don't usually do fish dishes could handle it fine. Crispy outside, clean inside — I kept eating it. . . ![Picking up a piece of flatfish sweet-and-sour](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-20-x2fk2-900.webp) ![Seafood pancake loaded with squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-21-efav2-900.webp) One dish I personally kept reaching for was the pajeon (seafood pancake). I live alone so I genuinely never get to eat pancakes like this... But they loaded it with squid, and the chewy bite was so good I kept eating it right to the end. When you're drinking, you can't resist any kind of jeon (savory pancake) haha. ![Lifting up a piece of pajeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-22-pg2e5-900.webp) ![Clear, spicy altang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-23-mgatr-900.webp) ## Free rice and noodles: two bowls of rice in the altang broth And the tastiest dish I had at the end was the altang (fish roe stew). The broth was refreshing and spicy-hot, and a spoonful while drinking made me go ooh,,, so good. This place gives free rice and instant noodle sarai, so I kept fetching more and more, which made me genuinely happy. I put two bowls of rice into the clear, spicy broth..... Rice honestly went better with it than the noodle sarai. And it was seriously the best drinking side dish.. ![Melon served as dessert at the end of the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/sadang-imokase-course-two-person-24-x168e-900.webp) At the very end they even brought out melon for a proper palate cleanser 🍈 It really felt endless no matter how much we ate — I kept wondering if ₩39,000 per person could really be right lol. ## Is Jindallae Silbi Sadang worth it for a team dinner in Sadang? Looking around, there were a lot of older male customers lol. At first I thought, is this the right spot...? But then I remembered, a place full of older regulars is always the real deal... and I got it. They said pulling dalgona (honeycomb candy) wins you a bottle of soju, but I was pretty drunk by then... and felt like my stomach was going to burst lol, so I gave up on the dalgona. If you're having a company dinner in Sadang, or want a proper drink with friends, and you want to eat your fill of a variety of side dishes at great value, I recommend Jindallae Silbi Sadang Branch 🔥 ## Where it is - Jindallae Silbi Sadang Branch (진달래실비 사당점) - 70 Dongjak-daero 7-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 2nd floor - 서울특별시 동작구 동작대로7길 70 2층 - 37.4779807, 126.9788174 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A7%84%EB%8B%AC%EB%9E%98%EC%8B%A4%EB%B9%84%20%EC%82%AC%EB%8B%B9%EC%A0%90/@37.4779807,126.9788174,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@behind-each-meal/sadang-imokase-course-two-person/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
