I ordered the pork jowl rice bowl and cold soba. The pork jowl bowl comes with a mini udon on the side as standard. The meat had a crispy outside and a juicy, tender inside. The pork jowl's signature crunchy-yet-chewy, savory flavor blended beautifully with the sweet-salty special sauce — one of those magical bowls where you just keep eating. It's clean and satisfying enough that you don't even need side dishes, and eating it alongside the mini udon was honestly so good. ![Pork jowl rice bowl served with mini udon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal-08-1lxva-966.webp) ![Close-up of pork jowl rice bowl topped with special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal-09-uw5ua-966.webp) ![Mini udon served alongside the pork jowl rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal-10-l239p-960.webp) ![Vertical shot of the pork jowl rice bowl set at the window table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal-11-psr7u-960.webp) With a vibe and a view like this, how could the food not taste good? ![Rice bowl set with the window view in the background](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal-12-1w6b4-960.webp) ![Chopsticks picking up a piece of pork jowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal-13-x2i0b-966.webp) ![Pork jowl rice bowl with sauce soaked into the rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal-14-dsb5x-966.webp) ![Pork jowl rice bowl set before mixing](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal/hakbap-konkuk-tablet-order-solo-meal-15-10adh-966.webp) Try mixing the rice and pork jowl into the special sauce.
