Weekday morning at Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap: was there a wait?

I visited Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap on a weekday morning, and there was no wait at that time. There might be a wait during lunch and dinner peak hours..! I'd recommend a morning visit.

In my experience, places with this many signatures on the wall are almost always good. So I had even higher expectations for this recommended Danyang restaurant > <

Danyang has so many places worth seeing and a lot of walking involved, so it's a good idea to eat a hearty breakfast!

Inside the restaurant and the table setup

The interior of Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap is set up with tables for four, and the tables are bigger than expected, so you can eat comfortably. What I liked most was how clean and fresh the floors and tables felt.

The menu and what two people should order

At Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap, it's one order per person for elementary school age and up. The menu has black garlic boiled pork ssambap, black garlic stir-fried pork ssambap, and black garlic squid stir-fry ssambap, and each dish requires a minimum order of 2 servings. There are also add-on menu items — black garlic boiled pork and black garlic squid stir-fry — so if you're visiting as a pair, I'd recommend getting 2 servings of ssambap plus an add-on to try another flavor.

We went with 2 servings of black garlic boiled pork ssambap + 1 added serving of black garlic squid stir-fry! A very good choice✨

Neat, varied side dishes.. and not just varied — each one tasted good too, which made me smile without even realizing it.

On the left is the black garlic boiled pork, on the right is the black garlic squid stir-fry. The boiled pork is topped with a sweet, sharp black garlic sauce, and the squid stir-fry is coated in black garlic sauce as well.

Looking at these side dishes again, they're so~~~~ neat that writing this post is making me want to eat them again — guess I have to go back to Danyang haha.

How does the black garlic boiled pork taste?

Boiled pork with zero gaminess, tender, moist, and nutty! Because it's black garlic sauce, it's noticeably different from regular garlic — mellow and deeply savory. It wasn't too sweet, so you could really taste the black garlic itself.

Rice steamed with black garlic and ginseng

Rice I'd never had in my life.. They explained it was rice made with black garlic and ginseng, and honestly it's delicious eaten on its own. It has this fragrant quality that makes you keep wanting another bite.

Wrap greens and ssamjang, with free refills

We wrapped the black garlic boiled pork and black garlic squid stir-fry in the neatly trimmed wrap greens. It was fresh and full of savory flavor, so I kept wrapping bite after bite. Of course the greens are refillable! The ssamjang (seasoned dipping paste) seemed to have garlic in it too and tasted great — a must when eating the wraps haha.

Doenjang stew with blue crab

There's also a doenjang stew, savory and a bit spicy, that went really well with the ssambap. Usually stews like this use frozen crab, but the meat here was so plump.. it didn't seem frozen at all!! Passed the test — the crab meat was delicious.

How big is one added serving of black garlic squid stir-fry?

One serving of squid stir-fry,, turned out to be this much~! They stir-fried it fresh right after we ordered, so it was super tender, and combined with the black garlic sauce, the flavor was rich. It has a spicy kick, so anyone who likes spicy food should love it without hesitation.
