The cheese hamburg steak and grilled octopus rice bowl, served together

🔥 A hearty, mouthwatering spread

A while later, the cheese hamburg steak and grilled octopus rice bowl I ordered were neatly laid out, filling the table. The portions were generous and the visuals were so pleasing I was smiling before I even took a bite — a perfect sweet-and-savory combo of savory and spicy.

How does the cheese hamburg steak taste?

🧀 Cheese cascading like a waterfall

The first thing I tried was the cheese hamburg steak — a thick patty smothered in soft, melted cheese sauce cascading over it, topped with a sunny-side-up egg. Cutting into it, juices seeped out between the meat fibers, wrapped in savory cheese for a wonderfully soft texture. The macaroni salad and pickled radish on the side paired beautifully — a dish everyone from kids to adults would enjoy.

How does the grilled octopus (jjukkumi) rice bowl taste?

🐙 Smoky char and chewy octopus

Next I tried the grilled octopus (jjukkumi) rice bowl, packed with octopus. As soon as the bowl arrived, a mild but spicy smoky aroma hit my nose. The octopus I picked up with my chopsticks was plump and had a really chewy bite. Crisp vegetables and a spicy-sweet special sauce coated everything well, and mixing it into the rice with the bean sprouts and radish salad that came alongside was totally stress-relieving. It's great for lunch, but I'd also highly recommend it as a spot for beer or soju in the evening!
