After some deliberation, we ordered the mozzarella cheese tomato risotto (₩24,000) and the mushroom cream pasta (₩23,000). ![Cola ordered to go with the risotto and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui-17-hir8w-900.webp) My friend and I don't like alcohol, so we ordered a glass of cola too! ## How does the mozzarella cheese tomato risotto taste? ![Mozzarella cheese tomato risotto served in a pretty bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui-18-vwrun-1200.webp) The mozzarella cheese tomato risotto (₩24,000) had big chunks of meat, carrot and other ingredients, with a rich mozzarella tomato sauce flavor. When our food came out, isn't the bowl so pretty? Maybe because we sat at the bar table, the delicious smell drifted over and I was so hungry! ![Risotto and pasta set out on the bar table](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui-19-1vxgi-900.webp) Let's try the mozzarella cheese tomato risotto first. Looking closely, the risotto held big chunks of meat, carrot and other ingredients, topped prettily with arugula and red chili. ![Close-up of tomato risotto topped with arugula and red chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui-20-wd8ay-900.webp) Maybe because it's a tomato sauce with mozzarella, the rich flavor clung to my mouth. The sauce and ingredients blend harmoniously at Ui Sadang Branch, a Sadang Station favorite. ## Is the mushroom cream pasta a must-order? ![Mushroom cream pasta with rich cheese aroma at Ui Sadang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui-21-1botm-900.webp) The mushroom cream pasta (₩23,000) was appealing from the moment it arrived, with a funky, rich cheese aroma tickling my nose!

I scooped up the cream sauce with a spoon, and the flavor of that thick, creamy sauce was fantastic. It proved in one bite why Ui Sadang Branch is a great pasta place. ![Thick linguine soaked in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui-23-1b2ci-900.webp) I think they used linguine, slightly thick with a nice texture. The sauce soaked in well and there was plenty of cream sauce, so I found myself wanting to eat this sauce as a risotto too. ![Crispy garlic bread dipped in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui/sadang-bar-seat-tomato-risotto-ui-24-1o0mi-900.webp) Dunking the crispy garlic bread that came alongside into this cream sauce made me feel like I had the whole world.
