There's stir-fried kimchi and a mixed boiled pork salad that's also sold as its own menu item! It's a dish made by tangy-dressing beef shank and beef tendon that are boiled fresh every morning — I was so surprised it's served as a basic side dish!! Honestly, I loved it from the side dishes alone~ ![Basic side dishes of stir-fried kimchi and mixed boiled pork salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-14-ltm6s-900.webp) And there's a tin called "umma gim" (mom's seaweed) at every table, so you can help yourself to as much seaweed as you want! They sell the seaweed separately too, and it's definitely good!! ![Umma gim tin placed at each table](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-15-g7k27-900.webp) ![Ok Doenjang seaweed displayed for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-16-cx923-900.webp) They also sell the seaweed that comes with Ok Doenjang's basic menu items! The interior is spacious with sofa seating and baby chairs too~ There are also two-person tables, so it's great for solo dining! ## Beef and pork belly doenjang hot pot, 13,900 won per serving > Beef pork belly doenjang hot pot ₩13,900 per serving > Bulssuji stir-fry ₩17,900 > Squid minari pancake ₩22,900 Wow~! This is two servings! The beef pork belly doenjang hot pot had a really generous amount of meat! I was so satisfied to find a place where you can have a whole meal with rice alongside a doenjang hot pot like this~ There was also a lot of tofu, and chili peppers scattered throughout meant there wasn't any greasiness at all! By the way, rice comes with it too! ![Beef pork belly doenjang hot pot served as two portions](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-17-qemkk-900.webp) ![Close-up of the doenjang hot pot full of meat and tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-18-1sw5c-900.webp) ## Bulssuji stir-fry, 17,900 won, with kalguksu noodles added Next up is the bulssuji stir-fry at ₩17,900! With deep savory flavor, a gentle spiciness, and chewy kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) noodles added in, it's a dish that stays delicious to the very last bite! ![Bulssuji stir-fry with kalguksu noodles added](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-19-fb7t3-900.webp) The kalguksu noodles were coated well with the sauce, which I loved, and the beef tendon (suji) was really chewy with a generous amount too!! ![Kalguksu noodles lifted up, coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-20-1cs03-900.webp) ![Chewy beef tendon visible in the bulssuji stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-21-18h84-900.webp) ![A plate of bulssuji stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-22-4o42i-900.webp) ## Squid and minari pancake, 22,900 won — still crisp after it cools Last up is the ₩22,900 squid minari pancake. It's a pan-fried pancake loaded with springy squid and fragrant minari (water dropwort)! Seriously, how did they get the pancake this crispy?? Not a single soggy spot — it was crispy all over, and stayed crispy even as time went on! ![Crispy pan-fried squid minari pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-23-m2u06-900.webp) ![A piece of squid minari pancake being lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji/okdoenjang-homaesil-solo-lunch-bulseuji-24-d3zqc-900.webp) Personally, this is the best Korean restaurant I've eaten at recently!!! ## Is Ok Doenjang Suwon Hommaesil Branch worth it?
