It was easy to share as a family, and the pizza with its generous arugula topping stood out. ![Midam Kitchen arugula pizza and cutlet thumbnail](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-01-1sv8f-1200.webp) The cutlet normally comes with the sauce poured over it, but we asked for the sauce on the side when ordering. ![Midam Kitchen pork loin cutlet with sauce served separately](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-02-lqma5-966.webp) ## Where is Midam Kitchen, and is parking available? The address is 33 Cheomseong-ro 49beon-gil, Gyeongju-si. The original post lists its hours as 10:30 AM to 9 PM, with regular closure every Wednesday. There is no on-site parking, so you need to park at the Hwangridan-gil public parking lot and walk a short distance. Two houses stood side by side, with the building on the right used for dining. We followed the stone path between the two buildings. A standing sign at the entrance showed photos of signature dishes, so we could look over the menu before going in. ![Stone entrance path between houses at Midam Kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-03-5rxf9-900.webp) ![Midam Kitchen entrance and signature-menu standing sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-04-lu34g-900.webp) ## Is there seating for families or groups? There was main hall seating indoors, and most of the spaces to the right were room-style areas. At the very back was a large round table. ![Large round table inside Midam Kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-05-8voe6-900.webp) The seating set aside for reservations was also a room-style table for six. It was a seating arrangement worth noting for a family meal or a meal with a group. ![Reserved room-style seating at Midam Kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-06-11gh5-900.webp) ![Indoor area around Midam Kitchen room-style seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-07-9vq5x-900.webp) The entry corridor had separate restrooms for men and women, and the washbasin had a retro feel. Disposable aprons were available on the wall beside the restrooms. ## What did we order, and how much did it cost? We ordered at the table. The menu also included a variety of pasta and risotto dishes. ![Table ordering screen for choosing Midam Kitchen dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-08-11y43-900.webp) - Pork loin cutlet: ₩14,900 - Arugula pizza: ₩18,900 - Passion fruit ade: ₩4,500 ![Screen during Midam Kitchen meal ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-09-1kxot-900.webp) After we ordered, they brought pickled radish and jalapeños as basic side dishes. The passion fruit ade had plenty of pulp settled at the bottom, and its distinctive tart flavor came through with the first sip. ![Passion fruit ade ordered at Midam Kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-10-o7g7u-900.webp) ![Passion fruit ade with plenty of pulp](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-11-1e05f-900.webp) ## How were the texture and sauce of the handmade pork loin cutlet? The cutlet arrived first, made with pork loin pounded flat and fried. Its coating was crisp, and it cut easily with a knife. It came with salad and a scoop-shaped mound of rice. My husband cut it into easy-to-eat pieces beforehand. ![Cutting Midam Kitchen pork loin cutlet into easy pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-12-1q0lj-900.webp) ![Plate of crisp-fried Midam Kitchen pork loin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-13-18oyu-900.webp) Without sauce, it tasted like crisp fried meat. When I dipped it generously in the sauce served separately, it reminded me of the brown sauce from old-style cutlet restaurants. The sauce contained slowly cooked vegetables, including onions, and I liked the combination with the cutlet. ![Midam Kitchen pork loin cutlet with brown sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-23-cri9x-900.webp) ## How was the arugula pizza to share with a child? While we were cutting the cutlet, the arugula pizza arrived. It was piled generously with arugula and looked like a small flower bed. ![Midam Kitchen pizza generously topped with arugula](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-14-3lqwi-900.webp) The black sauce drizzled over the top seemed to be balsamic glaze. Its sweet-and-tangy flavor went well with the arugula. ![Midam Kitchen pizza drizzled with sauce over arugula](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-15-fr6vq-900.webp) When we set our dishes side by side, I was pleased with our choice for the last meal of the trip. ![Midam Kitchen table with pizza, cutlet, and drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-16-s3j3l-820.webp) The pizza had not only arugula but also scattered pieces of house-made cheese. ![Generous toppings on Midam Kitchen arugula pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-17-f536n-900.webp) ![Midam Kitchen pizza topped with arugula and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-18-bopvs-900.webp) ![House-made cheese on Midam Kitchen arugula pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-19-1djkc-900.webp) There was so much arugula that we did not feel the need to order a separate salad. At the time, there was a notice that a free house salad coupon was available with Naver reservations, but we did not request it. With the toppings on the thin, chewy crust, I could taste the aroma of arugula and the fresh tomato sauce. ![Arugula pizza with thin crust and toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-20-1k1u5-966.webp) My husband and child initially said they would eat the cutlet, but once the pizza arrived, they kept reaching for it. My child ate three slices, while my husband and I shared two and a half slices each. ![Midam Kitchen arugula pizza shared with family](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-21-zvip9-900.webp) With its chewy crust and tomato sauce, aromatic arugula, and sweet-and-tangy sauce, the whole family enjoyed it. ![Pizza with arugula and tomato sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-22-14p9w-966.webp) ## Were we satisfied with this final family meal in Gyeongju? Sharing the crisp cutlet and pizza loaded with arugula made for a meal the whole family enjoyed. It was a place I would think of when wanting Italian food in Hwangridan-gil. As we left after the meal, we also discovered that the parrot in the garden was a model. ![Parrot model in the Midam Kitchen garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza-24-1hvrz-900.webp) ## Where it is - Midam Kitchen (미담키친) (미담키친) - 33 Cheomseong-ro 49beon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - 경상북도 경주시 첨성로49번길 33 미담키친 - 35.836035, 129.2075997 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AF%B8%EB%8B%B4%ED%82%A4%EC%B9%9C/@35.836035,129.2075997,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@one-more-bite/midam-kitchen-hwangnidan-gil-pizza/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
