We ordered three butadon (Japanese pork rice bowl) styles plus extra meat, with dishes priced at 9,500–10,000 won and extra meat at 3,500 won at the time. Verdict: the window counter seats and self-serve bar made Sunhui Dining an easy choice for a casual meal alone or with family. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2nd floor, 78 Ewha yeodae-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul - **Seating**: There are tables for groups and counter seats. - **Self-serve bar**: Salad, black sesame and yuzu dressings, rice, and soup are available. - **Menu prices**: Soboro piled-high galbi rice and 36-hour-aged butadon were 9,500 won, spicy butadon was 10,000 won, and extra meat was 3,500 won at the time of writing. - **Visit time**: Around 5:30 p.m. on a weekday. *as written by the visitor on May 30, 2023* ## Are there good seats for dining alone near Ewha Womans University? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-01-a3cck-1200.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-02-eo046-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-03-zhfzj-900.webp) It was on the second floor of a red-brick building, about an eight-minute walk from Exit 1 of Ewha Womans University Station. There were tables for groups and counter seats, and the bar table by the window looked perfectly fine for eating alone. There were empty seats around 5:30 p.m. on a weekday, but after 6 p.m., more couples, students, and office workers started coming in. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-04-ixeje-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-05-q4ga9-900.webp) ## What is available at the self-serve bar? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-06-1mggp-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-07-1yjf4-900.webp) Salad, black sesame dressing, and yuzu dressing were set out, along with hair ties.

The spicy pork rice bowl came topped with shishito peppers, with a soy sauce-based seasoning, a Shin Ramyun-level heat to me, and a smoky flavor. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-12-15qfh-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-13-189x7-900.webp) The standard pork rice bowl had a sweet soy sauce base topped with garlic flakes. It felt like there was more meat than rice, and I ate it with wasabi here and there. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-14-1ylo6-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-15-bk65h-900.webp) The soboro pork rice bowl contained finely minced meat and stir-fried kimchi. After one bite, my dad said several times that the seasoning was just right. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-16-5rhnd-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-17-ool1b-900.webp) ## What were the prices and practical details? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-18-1aw52-900.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve salad bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong/sunheedining-ehwa-solo-butadong-19-1g8bw-900.webp) At the time of writing, the soboro piled-high galbi rice and 36-hour-aged butadon were listed at 9,500 won, spicy butadon at 10,000 won, and extra meat at 3,500 won.
