How were the bossam and jokbal?

We ordered the jokbal and bossam set at Narae Jokbal, a great spot for bossam in Jamsil, for lunch on Songni-dan-gil. Tender bossam, chewy jokbal — the bossam here was really something. It was the softest bossam I've ever had in my life. A piece of the pork just melts in your mouth. You barely need to chew.

The jokbal at Narae Jokbal, a bossam spot worth seeking out in Jamsil, was chewy. But the important part is that there's no gamey smell at all. Even my husband, who usually prefers bossam over jokbal because of the smell, kept reaching for the jokbal.

There's literally no smell at all?

Spicy sundubu-jjigae

At Narae Jokbal, a great-value spot on Songni-dan-gil, the broth was genuinely delicious. The spice level was just right. It wasn't just hot — the flavor really came through. When your mouth starts feeling heavy from the bossam and jokbal, a spoonful of the broth refreshes everything instantly.

In this age of high prices, unlimited vegetables at this price point is unheard of. This is truly a great-value restaurant on Songni-dan-gil. You get to eat healthy, get full, and the value is off the charts.

To sum up the highlights

• Easy to find, right in the middle of Songni-dan-gil
• Upscale atmosphere
• Amazing quality for the price
• The bossam meat's tenderness is insane
• No gamey smell on the jokbal
• Unlimited vegetable refills
