The tenderloin, the true centerpiece, was crisp outside and tender inside! ![Pork tenderloin served with pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-10-g55oc-966.webp) It came with pickles, which paired perfectly with the meat. Whoever cooked it clearly knew what they were doing — it was so tender, I nearly teared up. ![Cross-section of the tender, well-cooked pork tenderloin](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-11-1rdvo-966.webp) ![Pork tenderloin eaten with a dash of salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-12-bba5x-966.webp) Just a light dip in salt and it melted in our mouths. Then came the second main, the pork belly — ![Pork belly served with tomyum sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-13-5dli5-966.webp) paired with fragrant minari and an exotic tomyum sauce that perfectly cut through what could have been a greasy dish. ![Pork belly plated with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-14-uhzei-966.webp) Eating it wrapped with the minari was the best way to enjoy it! ![A bite of pork belly wrapped with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-15-9f9ro-966.webp) ![Plate of pork belly with tomyum sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-16-d8ff8-966.webp) ## Burger or risotto? How to pick the main dish at Don Tamguso For the main dish, Don Tamguso lets you choose between a signature burger and a signature risotto. We decided to order one of each and share — and honestly, that was the smartest move of the night! ![Menu showing the signature burger and risotto main dish options](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-17-wfm0v-966.webp) ### Don Tamguso's signature burger ![Signature burger with caramelized onions and house-made patty](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-18-5j168-966.webp) Sweetly caramelized onions combined with a juicy house-made patty! ### Don Tamguso's signature abalone risotto ![Signature risotto with Wando abalone and barley](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-19-d4us9-966.webp) Wando abalone, popping barley, and fragrant bangpungnamul (glehnia root greens) came together in an incredible texture! ![Abalone and barley risotto topped with bangpungnamul greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-20-1nf4a-966.webp) ![Table with the shared burger and risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-21-18ajd-966.webp) My husband and I split both and asked each other, "Which one's better?" — but honestly, neither of us could decide, because both were so good we would've regretted picking just one. If you go, definitely order one of each and share! And then the finishing pudding! Sweet and delicious, haha. ![Pudding dessert closing out the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-22-b61lo-966.webp) ![Close-up of the sweet pudding dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner/maggok-don-tamgu-so-pork-omakase-dinner-23-1f2bq-966.webp) ## Booking and drink pairing tips for Don Tamguso ### Reservations are 100% required Anniversary or weekend dinners are extremely popular and book up fast.
