They serve the Special Course, Precious Course, Chamjoeun Course, Masil Course, and Basic Course.

It was served at just the right temperature, a nice palate opener before the meal. ![Adlay cherry blossom porridge topped with flower-shaped adlay](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-09-1k12a-1200.webp) The spring forsythia fritters (봄개나리튀김), topped with a sweet-and-sour red chili sauce over shrimp, shepherd's purse and asparagus, came out freshly fried and crisp — and you could even eat the rice paper 'bowl' it was served in. ![Spring forsythia fritters served in a rice paper bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-10-17toe-900.webp) ![Plate of fried shrimp topped with red chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-11-tu55g-966.webp) The japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) was loaded with various mushrooms and meat, and the noodles were well coated in seasoning — both the texture and flavor were great. ![Japchae with mushrooms and meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-12-3n3ch-900.webp) ![A plate of seasoned glass noodle japchae](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-13-1lx72-900.webp) ## Chilled whelk salad and medicinal-herb bossam The whelk vinegar salad (소라초회냉채) had savory, clean-tasting whelk with beet-dyed konjac jelly and gardenia-dyed lotus root, all drizzled with citrus sauce. Served on a single plate, it was gorgeous to look at too. The medicinal herb bossam (약선보쌈, boiled pork wraps) came with baek-kimchi (white kimchi) and dried radish strips, plus salted shrimp with cheongyang chili mixed in, making for a clean, non-greasy bite. ![Whelk vinegar salad with konjac jelly and lotus root](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-14-s3q0e-966.webp) ## Orange butterfly salad, crown daisy and lotus root pancake, perilla seaweed soup The orange butterfly salad (오렌지나비샐러드) paired spring greens and glasswort with a refreshing orange sauce — a bright starter. ![Orange butterfly salad with citrus sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-15-1jmfg-900.webp) ![Plate of spring greens and glasswort salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-16-1g8gh-900.webp) The mugwort-and-lotus-root pancake (쑥갓연근전), pan-fried crisp with crown daisy, clams and lotus root, was a familiar flavor but an unusual combination — I really enjoyed it. ![Mugwort-and-lotus-root pancake with clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-17-x9iuz-900.webp) The perilla seaweed soup (들깨미역국) had a strong, nutty perilla flavor that paired nicely with the seaweed. ![A bowl of nutty perilla seaweed soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-18-15kh1-900.webp) ![Mushroom braised ribs served in a pottery dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-19-vlj2f-900.webp) ## Braised short ribs over a candle, Masil tteokgalbi on a hot plate The nutritious mushroom braised ribs (영양버섯갈비찜) came packed with oyster mushrooms, mansong mushrooms and more alongside the braised ribs. To keep it from cooling, they lit a candle underneath the pottery bowl — thanks to that, I could eat it warm all the way to the end. ![Braised ribs pottery dish kept warm by a candle](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-20-d20o5-966.webp) The ribs were braised so tender the meat pulled right off the bone. The Masil tteokgalbi (마실떡갈비, grilled seasoned short-rib patties) was kept warm by a heating plate built into the table, so I could enjoy it hot from start to finish. ![Masil tteokgalbi on the table's hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-21-pj0hd-900.webp) The tteokgalbi had a moist texture without being tough — a flavor anyone would love. ![A moist piece of tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-22-1kvqu-966.webp) ![Table spread of seasonal namul, doenjang jjigae and cherry blossom rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-23-21gip-900.webp) ![Full table spread of the closing course meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil-24-nzvac-900.webp) ## The rice course at the end and the seasonal dessert Seasonal namul (seasoned vegetables), doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), and cherry blossom rice were also served, so I ended up full even by the final course. When I needed extra side dishes, the staff brought them right over when I asked! For the seasonal dessert, they brought out a cool yuzu tea. Sweet and refreshing, it was a great way to finish the meal. Baby chairs are available too, so I'd recommend this as a Nowon family gathering spot. If you're looking to have hanjeongsik (Korean course meal) in Nowon, this is Sutgarak Bansang Masil, a Nowon family gathering spot I'd happily recommend! ## Where it is - Sutgarak Bansang Masil (숟가락반상 마실) - 412 Nowon-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul (318-1 Sanggye-dong), South Korea - 서울특별시 노원구 노원로 412 - 37.653466, 127.0680289 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%9F%EA%B0%80%EB%9D%BD%EB%B0%98%EC%83%81%20%EB%A7%88%EC%8B%A4/@37.653466,127.0680289,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@four-oclock-table-2/nowon-korean-course-braised-ribs-tteokgalbi-masil/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
