The menu and dining experience

Menu

There are so many kinds of sotbap, and the buckwheat gimbap (seaweed rice roll) with salmon, egg, or shrimp looked seriously delicious too. I wanted to add an order of buckwheat gimbap, but I sneakily glanced at the next table and the portions were huge~ So we each ordered just one sotbap.

The self-service bar has extra side dishes you can help yourself to! You do not need to get them first, since the basic side dishes come out with your rice.

I saw families visiting with children, and baby tableware and cups are provided separately after sterilization.

There is furikake and soy sauce on the table! They are for seasoning and mixing into the rice.

I brought some over from the self-service bar in advance, but the side dishes that came with the meal were already enough~ Just take a little at a time, haha.

Do not miss the cute prize-draw event either > <

Sotbap to choose to your taste

I like clean-tasting food, so I ordered the hairtail sotbap (₩15,000).

It comes with butter, and the rice is barely seasoned! First, mix in butter, furikake, and soy sauce to your taste.

You might worry that hairtail will taste fishy, but it was not fishy at all—just clean and the definition of mild. Removing bones is such a bother, but it had been prepared with almost no bones, so children can enjoy it without worry. I used only about one-third of the butter~ Together with the hairtail flesh and rice, it had this subtle umami ^^ It was really delicious ㅠ If you love seafood, you will be truly satisfied.

A rich bite of Korean beef daechang sotbap

My boyfriend ordered the Korean beef daechang sotbap (₩15,000). The sotbap is topped with beautifully browned daechang (beef large intestine), so the visual impact is incredible. Shishito peppers and garlic chives help balance the potentially rich daechang!

Daechang has its own nutty, rich flavor, so it goes well with rice, but having it as sotbap felt different again. Taking a bite of the sotbap on its own, then topping it with a piece of daechang, was honestly so delicious.

And of course, the finish is sungnyung (scorched-rice tea)~ I love sungnyung so much that I tend to add a ton of water, haha. It is easy on the stomach, and you get to enjoy that toasty flavor too. After a richly flavored dish like daechang, sungnyung feels like such a clean reset for your palate!

Sorori Sotbap Gagyeong Direct Branch is a great place to visit when you want a healthy, filling Korean meal that feels clean and satisfying. With its spacious parking lot, varied sotbap menu, and takeaway for every item, it is also a good option for group gatherings or anyone who wants to eat at home.
