The building and entrance from the street

The restaurant is about a 2-minute walk from Chungmuro Station Exit 1~! It's on the 2nd floor of the Dain Building, so you just head up the stairs~

What is the dining room and seating like?

Walking inside, the space felt bigger and cleaner than I expected~ There are tables ranging from 2-seaters to 4-seaters, so it looked good for a visit with friends or a partner, and also fine for a bigger group dining together. The window-side seats let you see the view outside, which made it feel less closed-in, and the seating stretched all the way to the back, making the whole place more spacious than I expected 😄 Overall it had a clean, comfortable vibe, so it felt like an easy place to drop by for lunch or dinner!!

Bossam (small) for two: portion size and taste

The bossam (small), ordered for two, came out neatly arranged in bite-sized pieces. The glossy sheen on the bossam made it look really appetizing~

The wrap greens were fresh too, so wrapping the bossam in them was absolutely delicious 👍🏻

The meat was tender and moist, so it was easy to eat without feeling heavy, and it tasted even better with the side accompaniments! The portion was plenty for two people to share, and the clean, mild flavor with no gamey aftertaste made it pair well with the soba or noodles too!! If you want to enjoy bossam, this was a solid choice to look up as a Chungmuro restaurant or a spot near Chungmuro Station. 😊

The table set: lemon soba with half a pork cutlet

I tried the table set, which comes with lemon soba and a half portion of pork cutlet (tonkatsu)! Being able to enjoy the refreshing lemon soba and crispy cutlet at once was perfect for when just one dish isn't quite enough. The soba with lemon added looked especially refreshing, and switching back and forth with the cutlet cut down on the greasiness — a pretty good combo~

The cutlet came as a half portion, so it was easy to enjoy as a side without feeling too heavy~ Crispy on the outside!! And packed with meat on the inside, so it was filling too~

Eating it together with the soba made for a meal that was both filling and clean at the same time 😄 If you're searching for a Chungmuro restaurant or a spot near Chungmuro Station and want to try something different beyond bossam, this soba menu is well worth watching — the table set is a menu worth keeping an eye on 🍋
