On a Tuesday at 1 p.m., we waited about 15 minutes for spicy butadon, galbi rice, and 36-hour-aged butadon; the spice was gentle enough for my mother. Verdict: an easygoing lunch choice near Ewha Womans University. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F, 78 Ihwayeodae-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul - **Menu**: There were three menu options. - **Prices**: Regular dishes were ₩9,500 and the spicy dish was ₩10,000. - **Wait**: We waited about 15 minutes when visiting at 1 p.m. on Tuesday. - **Access**: It felt close to Sinchon Station on the Gyeongui–Jungang Line and the Ewha Womans University campus. *as written by the visitor on May 20, 2023* ## How long was the Tuesday lunch wait? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-02-hegk5-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-03-mtbii-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-04-9jnvy-966.webp) When I visited with my mother at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, we waited about 15 minutes. After 1:30 p.m., students started to clear out and the dining room became much more relaxed. It is close to Sinchon Station and the Ewha Womans University campus, so there seemed to be lots of university students. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-05-et97k-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-06-7fy2r-966.webp) ![A spread of butadon and galbi rice at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-01-1rfc7-966.webp) ## What were the menu and prices like? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-07-s515q-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-08-1jo9l-966.webp) There were only three menu options, so choosing was not complicated. Regular dishes were ₩9,500, while the spicy dish was ₩10,000. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-09-12msx-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-10-zhibc-966.webp) ## Did the side dishes go well with the rice bowls? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-11-1qdqw-1200.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-12-1mmzr-966.webp) The baekgimchi (mild white kimchi) served as a side was crisp and not too sour, so it was nice alongside the meat. The cabbage was crunchy with sesame dressing or yuzu dressing, adding tanginess and nuttiness. Sitting where the air-conditioning hit, the warm doenjang-guk (soybean paste soup) felt especially comforting too. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-13-1vyu7-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-14-1tbg5-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-15-1ulj8-966.webp) ## How spicy was the spicy butadon? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-16-1nuri-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-17-1uq45-966.webp) I had the spicy butadon (pork rice bowl) with the egg yolk in the middle. Rather than being intensely spicy from gochujang, it was just lightly spicy, and even my mother, who is not good with spicy food, ate it without any burden. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-18-qg0da-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-19-74s2i-966.webp) ## What were the galbi rice and 36-hour-aged butadon like? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-20-ok0q4-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-21-cdrg4-966.webp) The galbi rice was a good combination with the minced meat, kimchi, and onion. The round little pieces of meat did sometimes slip off my spoon, haha, but the meat felt lean and clean-tasting. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-22-v9uhp-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-23-dn9nb-966.webp) The 36-hour-aged butadon was the non-spicy version. I did not notice any unpleasant smell from the meat, and it had a chewy texture with seasoning absorbed evenly throughout. I could taste a hint of sweetness from the garlic chips too. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant: mild spicy butadon at Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon-24-1ec99-966.webp) ## Where it is - Sunhui Dining (순희다이닝) (순희다이닝) - 2F, 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/@doorway-diner/sunhee-dining-idae-spicy-butadon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
